Special Events:

Thursday, 16.02. / 10-14:00h
Camouflage workshop with Rhona Byrne and Catriona Shaw and pupils from the Kurt Tucholsky Oberschule, Berlin


‘Lost in space’ Workshop with Rhona Byrne
This workshop involves the design and making of a series of site-specific wearable group costumes made out of found materials. The costumes would camouflage the groups to become invisible observers within the gallery space. This project considers the distracted states of mind of an urban dweller.

Rhona Byrne lives and works in Dublin, Ireland. Site or context is usually the point of departure for her projects. Byrnes practice employs an interdisciplinary approach and often involves collaboration with diverse industries, groups and individuals such as roller coaster enthusiasts, pigeon fanciers, pilots, ecologists and psychologists. Her projects explore the unstable conditions of environment, experience, meaning and emotion, navigating complex layers of physical, mental and social space. Her work manifests in many forms including sculpture, video, photographs, drawings, context specific installations, collaborative event-based projects and books. She graduated from NCAD with a BFA in Sculpture in 1994.

“LAND-INSTITUT - Der Ausstellungsraum als Land”
Der Workshop bringt die Idee vom Land im Galerieraum herein, mit der NGBK als spezifisches Beispiel. In der Workshop wird der Ort untersucht, wie es als ‘Land’ gesehen werden könntet, und was es bedeuten könnte. Durch ein Ortsspezifische Näherung und Erstellung eines Atlas wird die Fragestellung angegangen.

LAND-INSTITUT entstand im Jahr 2010 im Zusammenarbeit von den in Berlin lebenden Künstler_innen und Kunstarbeiter_innen Mónica Araus, Freja Bäckman und Vappu Jalonen.
Die erste Forschungsphase wurde in Berlin gemacht, im Kooperation mit das Finnland Institut, in dem eine Ausstellung zwischen Februar und April 2011 stattfand.
