Why we matter – Artificial Stupidity
Anne Duk Hee Jordan (Berlin) studied at the Weißensee Kunsthochschule and with Olafur Eliasson at the Institute for Spatial Experiments in Berlin. The central themes of her work are transience and transformation. Through movement and performance, Jordan adds another dimension to materiality – she builds mechanical sculptures and creates immersive landscapes. Her sculptures sharpen the viewer’s eye for the present and open a dialogue between natural phenomena, philosophy and art. Jordan shifts the focus away from humans and towards the whole ecology. www.dukhee.de

During the corona-induced lockdown period over the past months, the structural imbalances in the art field (and beyond) have become more apparent than ever. In this sense, there can hardly be a return to normality before Covid19. The complex situation we live in, with the overlapping of climate crisis, precarity, social ‘radicalisation’ will also have manifold effects on the art field.

What does this mean for artistic production and exhibiting? How does the work of artists, curators and mediators change in these crisis-ridden times? How do institutions deal with this? What alternative concepts of presentation and mediation do we need and what can a sustainable artistic and institutional practice in the digital present look like?

The series »Shifting conditions – working in critical times« discusses different practical approaches, ideas and theories by inviting artists, curators and researchers for discussion.
