Elastic Dogmas:
A Presentation of Transdisciplinary Positions
February 14 – 16, 2025
Elastic Dogmas presents artworks that explore questions about human and technological (co-) existence in today’s world. Conventional boundaries of art categories are challenged in the exhibition through the use of new media, performance, and collaborative processes. Elastic Dogmas is a fusion of material and virtual realms, and a reaching for what is beyond, where spectres are revived, the souls of computers are channeled, and new relational threads woven. Dogmas are stretched and strained, elasticised and expanded.
Opening February 14, 4 -10 pm
@ Projektraum, Kunstquartier Bethanien, Mariannenplatz 2, Berlin
In the context of room to expand, students are encouraged and inspired to critically examine the common notion of art, and to experiment with seemingly fixed parameters such as authorship, exhibition space, production conditions, and art recipient, so that these are renegotiated within the framework of their art project.
