[spectre] exhibition & talks "Melting Mountains“ in Berlin // until May 5

[Studio Theresa Schubert]

This is the last week to see the exhibition "Melting Mountains“ at Meinblau in Berlin - it’s still on view until May 5!

Further, on Sunday there will be a discursive event contextualising and expanding on the topic of the exhibition. 
Atmospheric geologist  Tobias Sauter (Interim Prof. for Climate Geography HU Berlin) will give practical insights into his work as a glaciologist and what the glacial meltdown might mean for water availability in the near future. The artist duo Nina and Adnan Softic will talk about communicability of scientific facts and their work KLIMATON that sonifies research data from the arctic expedition MOSAiC. Theresa Schubert will present observations from her residency at Fondazione Pistoletto and in the North-West Italian Alps which led to her work cycle on glaciers, which is followed by a discussion. 

WHERE
Meinblau, Christinenstrasse 18-19, 10119 Berlin

OPENING HOURS
Thursday to Sunday: 14:00-19:00 (and by request)

EVENTS
Sunday, 05.05.24, 17:00–18:30 Theresa Schubert in conversation with geologist and expert on glaciersTobias Sauter (Humboldt University in Berlin) and the artist duo Adnan & Nina Softić.


ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

What can fluvial systems and glaciers tell us about climate change? What is at stake in terms of how we experience, understand and value water systems? And how can we measure the human impact on these complex water networks?
With her exhibition Melting Mountains, Berlin-based artist Theresa Schubert invites visitors to cultivate a new sensitivity towards the intersection of art and science. 'The Glacier Trilogy' focuses on glaciers and the melting of glaciers as starting points of fluvial systems. Glaciers hold an extreme importance not only as storages of water but also as a memory of the earth’s past and as indicators of climate change. Glacial ice archives millennia-old (an)organic information, such as microorganisms, pollen, organic remains, and atmospheric dust, allowing scientists to acquire knowledge about ancient ecosystems and to predict future climate change.

During her residency at Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto and through an arts & science collaboration within the START4Water programme, Theresa Schubert investigated these fluvial systems in the Piemont area in North-West Italy and started to develop The Glacier Trilogy. Schubert looked/listened and responded with various media technologies to the signals that the environment in the Western Italian Alps produce. Combining advanced computational technologies (such as generative adversarial networks, atmospheric sensors or realtime ice-fluid simulation for 8K) with sculpture materials, the works increase awareness of the fragility of the environment and the transformations due to climate change, stimulating an emotional engagement of the audience. The trio of works that make up 'The Glacier Trilogy' are now shown together for the first time at Meinblau in Berlin, accompanied by an extended supporting programme.
