🔜 in Berlin

What makes an image art? How are new technologies changing our understanding of artistic authorship? And what remains constant across the decades?

💭 I'll be discussing these questions with Max Mayer on November 18 at 7 pm at the Kienzle Art Foundation.

»Was Sein Kann« brings together two private collections representing different generations and areas of focus. While painting and conceptual art are central to the Kienzle Art Foundation's collection, digital art from the 1980s to the present occupies a particularly important place in the @wrngfrmt collection. The exhibition examines the art-historical and formal connections between these seemingly distinct visual worlds.

Artists: Klaus Merkel, @CurioFringe, @daniloxhema, @cydr, @lm_netwebs, @andreasgysin, Waffles, @no_hygiene, @toadswiback, Lee Mullican

@sssluke1 Yup, we mostly just have the right part of this diagram by Andrea Fraser atm. Also a function of time. Money is the fastest catalyst but usually the shallowest. https://t.co/dRSBNgwpyO

Pretty interesting Kurt Schwitters show at the Musée Picasso. This one made me think of @andreasgysin ✨

Excited to see @museumghostart with @lovidlovid as part of the Zero 10 Miami Beach this year ! Congrats 🥳

[LoVid🫂📼 @lovidlovid]

💥 thank you @jokawaharalino @museumghostart !

I finally make sense to me <3 finding connections and big picture when no one have looked before.

[Museum Ghost @museumghostart]

I’ve been waiting for the right moment to publish this...

But with the @ArtBasel Zero 10 artist list coming out, the timing felt right.

On @lovidlovid, and the signals, systems, and histories running through their practice:

'Was Sein Kann' is a Group show at Kienzle Art Foundation. Curated by Max Mayer with @wrngfrmt

The show weaves historical connections between the material concerns of painting and artists working digitally. It is puncuated throughout by small Lee Mullican digital works from the 1980s (himself primarily a painter), acting like a metronome for the exhibiton.

There is a real sculptural consideration gone into how the works are displayed, 3 Lorna Mills's works on interconnected TVs on the floor, Andreas Gysin projected from the ceiling onto the main floor and 5 Waffles artworks with their screen hardware exposed. The hardware is treated as an intrinsic part of the display, which gives the show a physicality that encourages you to consider the work as a material process, rather than just pixels to consume. Something that is often done lazily in digital art shows.

If you are in Berlin for art week or while the show runs (until Nov 20th) I would highly recco visiting. There is a real thoroughness of care in the curation. It's ambitious and really succeeds in opening up the conv it sets to have.

@sssluke1 @andreasgysin @toadswiback @lm_netwebs @no_hygiene @daniloxhema @cydr Thank you so much @sssluke1 for these kind words on the show and the great conversation about digital art! 🙏

[objkt @objktcom]

✦ Was Sein Kann brings together @daniloxhema, @CurioFringe, @lm_netwebs, @AndreasGysin, Waffles, @no_hygiene, @toadswiback, Lee Mullican, and all these artists with works on objkt worth exploring, and more.

The exhibition connects different histories of digital art: from Lee Mullican’s pioneering computer drawings and Lorna Mills’s GIF-based practice to artists formed by today’s networked image culture.

Several possibilities for what digital art it can be.
