Laboratory Berlin möchte Sie/ Euch
über kommende Veranstaltungen
informieren:
Am Sonntag, den 22. Mai 2016 hält
die Künstlerin Lea Kannar-Lichtenberger einen Vortrag:
Einlass: ab 19:30 Uhr || Talk: 20:30 Uhr
Eintritt: 3 - 6 Euro (auf Spendenbasis)
"In the Age of the Anthropocene, this talk will explore how humans impact on our world both by their presence and indirectly by their lifestyle. This is a science-art investigation of tourism and its effects on closed eco systems, specifically the Galapagos and Lord Howe Islands (both World Heritage Listed). Through my art investigations I work to bring awareness to the public in order to create a more relevant understanding of the issues surrounding human impact on the environment and its long term effects.
Through the interaction between the worlds of art and science I explore evolution in the Anthropocene, a harbinger for the future of our human interaction on this earth. Increasing tourism instigated by economic change and the media’s current focus on the apparently pristine, remote and untouched landscapes, creates expectations of the natural environment. With the Islands of Galapagos and Lord Howe acting as microcosms for our biosphere, this dialogue will explore the uncertainties that surround population growth, extinction and the dissemination of toxic materials into the environment.
My research and resulting artworks explore, through photography, video, microscopy, sound and installation, connections on how utopia becomes a dystopia, we are trapped in our desires for a unique experience; how modernisation and the need for the tourist dollar become can become weapons for a bleak future for the Galapagos and Lord Howe Islands."

Die Ausstellung On Animals. Cognition,
Senses, Play untersucht zwei Arten von Tieren, die eine
beeindruckende kognitive Nähe zum Menschen aufweisen: Primaten, unsere
nächstliegenden Verwandte, besitzen komplexe kognitive Systeme, die denen der
Menschen stark ähneln, sich aber auch in gewissen Bereichen radikal
unterscheiden. Hunde, die dem Menschen nächstliegenden Begleiter der gesamten
Tierwelt, haben sich neben dem Menschen über 30.000 Jahre lang weiterentwickelt.
Allen gemeinsam ist der von Donna Haraway formulierte Begriff des
"Miteinanderhandelns": Durch die Überwindung konventioneller Dichotomien von
Natur/Kultur, Mensch/Tier oder Subjekt/Objekt geht es vielmehr um ein
gemeinsames Agieren. In ihren Arbeiten zu Tieren (Primaten, Hunde und Wölfe)
setzen die beiden Künstlerinnen Maja Smrekar und Rachel
Mayeri auf
bestimmte Strategien des Narrativen und das Phänomen der Immersion, um sich
dadurch der Perspektive eines nichtmenschlichen Gegenübers anzunähern. Sie
stellen den Instinkt und die Sinne des Nichtmenschlichen ins Zentrum ihrer
künstlerischen Forschung. Mittels Performance, Film und
Kunst-Naturwissenschafts-Kollaborationen versuchen beide, die
Kognitionsfähigkeit des Nichtmenschlichen zu
übersetzten.

Die
Ausstellung NatureCultures untersucht die verflochtene Struktur
menschlicher und nichtmenschlicher Akteure im 21. Jahrhundert. Der
Ausstellungstitel bezieht sich auf den gleichnamigen Begriff der amerikanischen
Wissenschaftlerin Donna Haraway, die für eine Überwindung der unproduktiven
Dichotomie von Kultur und Natur appelliert. Die Auswirkungen menschlicher
Technologie dringen in alle Bereiche der Umwelt ein und verändern das
Gleichgewicht und damit auch den Aufbau dessen, was wir einmal „Natur“ nannten.
Angesichts der großen ökologischen Katastrophen überrascht wiederum die
Widerstandsfähigkeit unzähliger Lebensformen auf unserem Planeten. Das
Ausstellungsprojekt stellt drei Künstler vor, die den Bereich zwischen
Naturwissenschaft und künstlerischer Forschung sowie die Schnittstellen von
Kultur und Natur erkunden.

science community in Bürknerstraße 12, 12047 Berlin.
Doors: 7:30PM / Start
time: 8:30PM - Entrance 3 to 6 euro (up to your offer)

The exhibition On
Animals. Cognition, Senses, Play investigates two groups of
animals that are closest to us: primates, our nearest 'relatives', and dogs,
with whom we have made a symbiotic contract. The works share Donna Haraway's
concept of "cooperative actions": overcoming conventional dichotomies of
nature/culture, human/animal or subject/object is all about joint action. The
artists, Maja Smrekar and Rachel Mayeri, make use of certain
narrative strategies and the phenomenon of immersion, to approach the
perspective of a nonhuman counterpart. The works of both artists place the
instinct and the senses of the nonhuman at the centre of artistic research,
while aiming to translate the nonhuman cognitive ability by means of the
performance, film and art/science
collaboration.

The exhibition NatureCultures explores the interwoven fabric of
both the human and nonhuman in the 21st century. The exhibition title refers to
a term coined by the American scholar Donna Haraway, which seeks to overcome the
unproductive dichotomy of nature and culture. The side effects of human
technology intrude into every environment, altering the balance, and even the
make up of what we once called nature. While ecological disaster repeatedly
threatens, there is a surprising resiliency in the myriad of life forms on this
planet. The exhibition presents three artists who explore a realm between
science and artistic research as well as between natural and cultural forms of
inquiry.
