With SPACEISTHEPLACE at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Pash Buzari is 
presenting the first part in a trilogy of exhibitions to be continued 
at other venues. The cinematic environment consists of photographic and 
architectural components combined to create a constellation then shown 
as a counterpoint to an installation employing light. The exhibition is 
based on Buzari?s continued investigation into imaginary portrayals 
(conceptions) of light, space and consciousness in various science 
fiction films, and adapts material from films including among others 
Alien, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Solaris and THX. In the 
process, the exhibition?s main concern is to examine how film surfaces 
suggest space and light effects point to hidden, cryptic spheres. 
Buzari?s project not only directs its sights towards the canon of 
science fiction. Its title already points beyond Hollywood, quoting a 
most famous piece of music and a film with the same title by the jazz 
musician Sun Ra, whose fantastic ideas and notions of space are a 
coreferential part of the exhibition, like experimental string theories 
of physics and their attempts to explain the world: ?Both models share 
the assumption ? and that is precisely what interests me ? that in a 
subtle way, sound/noise/ tone, as an immaterially and at the same time 
virtually repeated effect, offer a kind of matrix for these psychedelic 
- in the best sense of the word - worldfantasies.? (Pash Buzari)
