OPENING 19.02. / 7 PM 
ACKERSTRASSE 18, BERLIN MITTE



KUNSTRAUM TAPIR WAS FOUNDED BY TAKT KUNSTPROJEKTRAUM IN 2011. IT INCLUDES AN ARTSPACE AND AN ARTIST RESIDENCY, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO TAKT ARTIST RESIDENCY. 
ANTJE GÖRNER, MANAGER OF TAKT KUNSTPROJEKTRAUM, WILL GIVE A SHORT INTRO TO KUNSTRAUM TAPIR. JOANNA MORTREUX, THE CURRENT RESIDENT, PRESENTS HER CURRENT WORK:

-

THE AWKWARDNESS OF LIVING AND DYING SIMULTANEOUSLY

“WHEN STANDING IN FRONT OF AN ARTIFACT IN A MUSEUM THERE IS A DISSOCIATION BETWEEN THE THING WE ARE LOOKING AT NOW AND ITS PREVIOUS LIFE. IT LIVED CARRYING OUT ITS FUNCTION AT ONE POINT IN HISTORY BUT IS SIMPLY NOW A SHELL TO BE VIEWED AT A DISTANCE FROM A GLASS CABINET.

THE WORKS PRESENTED EXPLORE THE TIMELESSNESS OF BEING ETERNALLY IN THE PRESENT. NEITHER ALIVE NOR DEAD THESE MONUMENTAL FIGURES SIT LIKE CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN SPECIMENS FROM SOME ANCIENT PAST OR OF SOME FROZEN FUTURE. LIKE LIVING LANDMARKS THESE PAINTERLY RELICS, COLLAGED TOGETHER FROM GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS, OLD WORLD CERAMICS AND MUMMIFICATION PROCESSES REFERENCE ANCIENT SCULPTURAL FORMS THAT ACT AS REMINDERS OF WHAT WE ONCE USED TO KNOW BUT HAVE LONG FORGOTTEN. FOR A MOMENT EXISTING IN MULTIPLE UNIVERSES; THESE LIVING RELICS REPRESENT A TIME TRAVEL THAT IS INSTANTANEOUS MOVING IN ANY DIRECTION ON AN INTERCONNECTING TIME FRAME WHERE ALL OF HISTORY COALESCES INTO ONE FROZEN MOMENT.”
