Tue, 20 September 2022, 8 pm CET

This time only online, Registration required for access! No fee.

Art Laboratory Berlin is delighted to invite you to take part in our discursive format – a colloquium on research in art, science and humanities, curated by Regine Rapp (next to our Reading Club, curated by Tuçe Erel).

The Colloquium (on 20 September it will be entirely online) addresses an international interdisciplinary research audience to present and discuss past, present or future projects by artists and scholars, curators or editors from the fields of art, science and the humanities. The topics could refer to an art project, a book, text or chapter, a research or exhibition project, a lab experiment, a lecture series, a conference concept or other.

The presentations and exchange will focus on the work-in-progress. Methodological approaches – theoretical or practical – are also of great interest here. While researching, we often tend to shift between practical inquiry and theoretical research, browsing various disciplines. Following the original meaning of colloquium as “speaking together”, we want to provide a platform for exchange and embrace various kinds of work processes which are often not seen or talked about.

Structure of the sessions: Each session will include two presentations followed by discussions, altogether 90 min. The colloquium welcomes informal conversations amongst the participants.

Speakers on 20 September Session

Margherita Pevere | Vulnerable Materials across Environment and Embodiment

Margherita Pevere is an internationally acknowledged artist and researcher working across biological arts and performance with a distinctive visceral signature. Her practice hybridizes biotechnology, ecology, queer and death studies to create arresting installations and performances that trail today’s ecological complexity. Her body of work is a blooming garden crawling with genetically edited bacteria, cells, sex hormones, microbial biofilm, blood, slugs, growing plants and decomposing remains. With Marco Donnarumma and Andrea Familari, she co-founded the artists’ group Fronte Vacuo. She is member of the Finnish Bioart Society, of The Queer Death Studies Network and of The Posthumanities Hub. Margherita has been part of various series, conferences and exhibition at Art Laboratory Berlin, such as the Nonhuman Agents (https://artlaboratory-berlin.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3a6fe4a9bb743dd155d72a6a2&id=8999a75de2&e=572b364056) (2017) or the The Camille Diaries. New Artistic Positions on M/Otherhood, Life and Care

In the Colloquium Margherita will talk about her work with vulnerable materials across environment and embodiment.

Dolores Steinman | Altered Emotive Memory through Interactions and Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Dr. Dolores Steinman was trained as a Pediatrician and, upon relocating to Canada, obtained her PhD in Cell Biology. Currently she is a retired Senior Research Associate in the Biomedical Simulation Laboratory, University of Toronto (UofT), and was part of an interdisciplinary team, also affiliated with the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCADU). Following her training in the Visual Arts Department at Western University (London, ON), she also volunteered Docent at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). In her new research, as part of the A.R.E. artist collective, Dolores is searching new ways of communicating to and with the patient through introspection, subjective examination of the post-pandemic state-of-mind and the role played by art in the ever-evolving circumstances in which we find ourselves. https://artlaboratory-berlin.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3a6fe4a9bb743dd155d72a6a2&id=874553fb11&e=572b364056

In the Colloquium Dolores will talk about a project in progress connected to A.R.E., relating to the many intricate ways in which emotive memory can alter and be altered through interactions and interdisciplinary collaboration (another project deals with death from the most mundane to the scientific, through myth, tradition and connection with the ancestral past).

The colloquium takes place every 6 weeks.

The colloquium meetings in 2022: 1 March, 12 April, 7 June, 12 July, 20 September, 8 November, 6 December (the last is an event of colloquium and reading club together)

Kentang / Tanggung:

In the Bahasa language kentang means potatoes, while tanggung can define a plethora of words: to hold responsibility, to bear, to assure, to be half-hearted, to be awkward and to guarantee. Tracing the historical, migratory pathways undertaken by the spud, we propose an ode to the potato, this participatory research workshop explores the spectre of histories and imaginations that the potato, as a seed of desire and delight contains.

In the first part of the workshop (“Planting”) we will gather to plant potatoes and reflect about the myths of potatoes, its stories, folklores and rhymes, as well as share anecdotes about the potato. In the second part (“Observing”) we will explore the potato from a microscopic point of view and also discuss toxicities and neutralising potatoes. And in the third part (“Showing”) the workshop invites the participants to enjoy a potato cooking session, which continues with a performance lecture and eating session later on.

Meeting point: Art Laboratory Berlin

Radio Mycelium proposes the construction of a series of experimental situations examining a new networked imaginary, the single organism of the fungal mycelium, in relation to local, global and universal electromagnetic signals. Within this two-day workshop, we will build DIY radio receivers and sculptural antennae, testing the reception of signals and interfacing with open examples of the various growing mycelium and mushrooms. We will learn and share knowledge and techniques concerning inter-species communication between humans, mycelium and their environments - through sound, radio, touch, smell and ingestion.

A closing collective performance will manipulate live signals captured from intact mushroom bodies, with deep earth recordings from Tegel forest harvested during the workshop.

The workshop will take place outdoors, therefore please wear comfortable shoes and suitable layers according to the weather.

Materials to bring: If possible, please bring recording devices, headphones and small FM radio receivers.

Martin Howse is occupied with an artistic investigation of the links between the earth (geophysical phenomena), software and the human psyche (psychogeophysics), proposing a return to animism within a critical misuse of scientific technology. Through the construction of experimental situations (within process-driven performance, laboratories, walks, and workshops), material art works and texts, he explores the rich links between substance or
materials and execution or protocol, excavating issues of visibility and of hiding within the World.

>From 1998 to 2005 he was director of ap, a software performance group working with electronic waste, and pioneering an early approach to digital glitch. In 2005 his environmental computational work, entitled ap0201 installed within the Mojave desert received first prize within the Art & Artificial Life competition VIDA 8.0. From 2007 to 2009 he hosted a regular workshop, micro-residency and salon series in Berlin. Recently he has worked and collaborated on acclaimed projects and practices such as The Crystal World, Psychogeophysics, Earthboot, Sketches towards an Earth Computer and Dissolutions. Forthe last ten years he has initiated numerous open-laboratory style projects and performed, published, lectured and exhibited diversely. He is equally the creator of the skin-driven audio divination noise module, aka. The Dark Interpreter, and the ERD modular synthesizer series.
