zeit-bilder. Erscheinungsformen zeitbasierter Kunst

In the organizer's words:

The exhibition Zeit-Bilder focuses on the processes of artistic work and the visualization of temporality. Visitors can experience the temporal unfolding of art through visual works, sound and video installations, spatial stagings and live performances. Seven exhibition rooms and four cellar vaults will be used.
Christian Aberle explores the relationships between film and social media in video and painting. His series of colored prints shows the passage of (artistic) time and a sound work tells the legend of the Ship of Fools in a form never heard before. At the opening, Elisabeth Heil will be showing two new, site-specific performances whose documentary and sculptural elements will be on display for the duration of the exhibition. The work The Society is interactive and can be reactivated by visitors at any time. A selection of paintings, drawings and videos by Nicholas Grafia as well as a newly developed live performance provide an insight into his work to date. Arranged to form a complete work of art that changes on a monthly basis, themes such as exclusion or the culture of remembrance of marginalized figures are addressed. In Sugar Coating, Cristiana Cott Negoescu deals with uncritical media consumption as "sugar for the people". The fairground aspect of the installation with a slide and the smell of freshly prepared candy floss also stands for the distraction of attention and the filtering of circumstances.
In this way, time-based art presents itself in a wealth of manifestations that provide critical and sensual inventories of our present at the height of our time.
