Upscaled scores and space travel drawings extend over the gallery walls setting forth the launch of »Vostok 7« vinyl, a radio play conceived as a reenactment of the spaceship that has yet to be built. »Vostok 7« is the main sound piece in the exhibition. </span></span></span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: null">Situated on the Satelite Island in Kherson, Ukraine, the narrative and the drawings is an artistic study of the Vostok Program of Soviet Space Travel that began with Yuri Gagarin's first manned space flight, Vostok 1 in 1961, and ended with Vostok 6 in 1963 with the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova, the anti-hero of the exhibition. Listening, transmission, agency and collaboration are at the core of Kats work.</span></span></span><span style="color:rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: null"> </span></span></span><span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: null">Driven through the perceptual shift from the visual to the sonic, the exhibition space and the studio operates a mobile sound system, a radio station, and a listening space full of musical instruments and sonic devices.<br /><br />At a moment when most political concepts fail, the artist turns to the protagonists of Ukrainian cosmism such as Fedir Tetyanych, also drawing inspiration from musicians, improvisers, and artists such as Don Cherry and Mocki Cherry. This synthesis offers a dynamic starting point to explore and extend the concept of transmigration as a performative, artistic, and collective practice. Inviting multidisciplinary artists from different backgrounds to expand on the contemporary understanding of migration through an ephemeral music ensemble, »Grounded Outer Space People« propose a critical mapping from which the poetics of displacement might emerge.<br /><br />Opening doors to the first iteration of the »Transmigration Library« the audience is invited to engage with an ever-changing collection of books curated through Kats' practice in sound, music, and politically engaged artistic practice. Playfully embracing the notion of reincarnation, taking one lifetime at a time, the project points towards the very concrete dimensions of a body, family, country, planet, history and the necessity to fully engage in practice from this vantage point.</span></span></span></p><p style="font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif;"><span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: null">Works by Anton Kats have been exhibited and performed in venues including SAVVY Contemporary, Serpentine Galleries, Tate Modern, Roskilde Festival, Kochi Muziris Biennale, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, and documenta14 in Athens and Kassel.</span></span></span></p><p style="font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: null">Grounded Outer Space People Opening Event 13th of October:<br /><br /></span></span></span></strong><span style="font-size: 12px">Transition as it happens: <br />6:00 - 6:45 pm DJ Kohlrabi - Deep Listening Set with Reading <br />6:45 - 7:00 pm Khaled Kurbeh - Synthesizer-Improvisation <br />7:00 - 7:10 pm Arrival.
