Talk and film screening by Dmitry Bulatov
Art
Laboratory Berlin is pleased to present a collection of documentary
films about artworks recently created using the latest twenty-first
century technologies: artificial life, robotics, bio and genetic
engineering. The screening has been organized by the curator and
artist Dmitry Bulatov in conjunction with the National Centre for
Contemporary Arts (Kaliningrad branch, Russia).
The
films document artworks whose medium is living or lifelike matter,
and the properties of living organisms and technologically reproduced
artefacts are combined to produce the method. Art created under
these new conditions of post-biology - that is, under conditions
of artificially generated life - cannot avoid making this artificiality
its explicit theme. We are thus again confronted with the question
of the relationship between art and life in a completely new context
defined by biological and abiological creations, works, and beings.

Presentation
of the poster and storybook for "Princess I will follow you..."

&
Artist book presentation:
"Prinzenallee
- ein Stück ohne Dialoge"
A Book
Project by Birgit Szepanski and Regine Rapp
Princess
- I will follow you...
is a poster intervention along Prinzenallee in Berlin- Wedding.
With photographich motifs and text fragments (in English, German
and Turkish) a visual path is laid along the street. This public
text and image story plays with motifs, word and sound play, visual
faetures and the name of the street:Mit
Princess I will follow you....
(http://printempsdespoetes-berlin.blogspot.com)
In
2008 Birgit Szepanski created a complex site specific installation
at Art Laboratory Berlin, which referred to the street Prinzenallee
in Berlin-Wedding as part of the exhibition series Art and Text.
Over a number of weeks the artist recorded traces of the street
in her films, photographs and texts. In decidedly minimal formal
language she was able to unfurl the street into the exhibition space
by means of language, image and sound. In this newly released publication
this is further expressed in the form of an artist book.

Prinzenallee
- A Play without Dialog.
A Book Project by Birgit Szepanski and Regine Rapp
Art
Laboratory Berlin is pleased to invite you to a presentation of
the recently published artist book "Prinzenallee - Ein Stück
ohne Dialoge" ("Prinzenallee - A Play without Dialog").
In 2008 Birgit Szepanski created a complex site specific installation
at Art Laboratory Berlin, which referred to the street Prinzenallee
in Berlin-Wedding as part of the exhibition series Art and Text.
Over a number of weeks the artist recorded traces of the street
in her films, photographs and texts. In decidedly minimal formal
language she was able to unfurl the street into the exhibition space
by means of language, image and sound. In this newly released publication
this is further expressed in the form of an artist book.
"The
graphic and spatial transformation of the urban theme in the exhibition
space resembles Gaston Bachelard's description of topo-analysis
as the 'study of the locality in our inner life'. This publication
shows excerpts of artistic work - photography as well as five fictive
texts - that formed the exhibition, and mirrors, in their formal
composition, Birgit Szepanski's special aesthetic of text and image
installations. The chosen bibliophile medium accommodates the artists
formal language especially well."
Regine Rapp, from the essay "Vom Oszillieren
urbaner Zeichen" ("On the oscillation of urban signs"),
taken from the publication.
"When
I take photographs it's not enough for me, and it doesn't really
reflect what I really mean: the narration in image and text and
the location, the city. Therefore I choose different media: text,
film, photography, the publication and the sound piece. I enjoy
writing as much as I do photography, and I equally like other medium
such as [
] - the booklet or book, or installations. Sound
is also important for my work, because sound describes a place and
evokes images. For me it is the diversity and the fragmentary shards,
which produce the whole. The interaction of the different media,
for me, produce the possibility of a narrative."
Birgit Szepanski, from the interview "Schauen,
Gehen, Schreiben - zur Ästhetik der Straße" ("Gazing,
Walking, Writing - on the aesthetics of the street") taken
from the publication.

Janez
Jana, Janez Jana, Janez Jana NAME Readymade
Performative
Presentation
The
event will present the act of name changing perpetrated
by three Slovenian artists who in 2007 officially, with all the
required papers and stamps, changed their names to the then prime
minister of Slovenia , Janez Jana (2004-08). All Janez Janas
works, their private and public affairs, in a word their whole life,
has been conducted under this name ever since.
Janez
Jana will take you through a series of artistic, political,
administrative and mediatic actions performed by himself together
with Janez Jana and Janez Jana, with a particular focus
on their latest personal exhibition entitled NAME Readymade.
Works exhibited in this show (valid ID cards, passports, credit
and bank cards, driving licences, birth and marriage certificates,
and so on) were generated by reality itself.

Artists in Dialog
Alex Toland - Personal Dispersal Mechanisms, an Interactive
Urban Exploration
Natural distribution mechanisms of plant species are often severely
obstructed in the city. Tree sponsorship is a popular and effective
way of re-greening city parks and streets. Individual sponsors become
personally linked to individual trees while beautifying the neighborhood
and creating new habitats for birds, mammals and insects.
Artist
Alex Toland takes this idea a step further by creating species partnerships
for a day and encouraging personal interspecies relationships as
a potential distribution mechanism. As part of the series Artists
in Dialog at ART LABORATORY BERLIN the artist will realize a collaborative
walk and installation project by leading a group of Berlin residents
through part of the green corridor along the Panke and make personal
introductions between individual people and plants.

Artists in Dialog. Presentation by Paola Yacoub
Paola
Yacoub will present a running thread through various works, mainly
photographs and montages, produced in different geographical areas
ranging from Southern Lebanon to Berlin via Sweden and China.
The
common point is skepticism as it was introduced in visual arts in
the U.S.A. at the beginning of the 20th century.
In
a fast food restaurant 'Beautifull Heart' in Shenzhen, China, a
flat screen continuously transmits news and entertainment channels.
Information becomes like decoration.
One
looks at the screen only from time to time, often not at all, and
rarely with attention. We do not know if we agree on postures in
front of the screen and on what we see.
A dialogical
encounter between two video clips of the same screen in the same
fast food restaurant but at different moments were made by Paola
Yacoub and by Yao Zhiyan.
These
plasma screens in fast food restaurants and cafés show the
social modality of a contemporary gaze. This presentation from Paola
Yacoub is the first of Art Laboratory Berlin's new series of artists
talks, presentations, performances and events Artists in Dialog
