OPENHAUS 22/06/2017
OPENHAUS - Offene Studios, Installationen, Filmvorführung und Resident*innengespräche dieses mahl als Teil des OPENINGS des Pop-Up Chess Palace - On Architecture, Ideology and Chess.
Das OPENHAUS ist ein regelmäßig stattfindendes, öffentliches Format des ZK/U. Das Publikum ist eingeladen das Residenz Programm kennenzulernen und mit ihnen über ihre Projekte und Prozesse zu diskutieren.
Das Juni OPENHAUS lädt ein, Entwürfe potenzieller zukünftiger urbaner Räume in Installationen und Filmvorführungen, zu entdecken. Bei einer Reise in die Vergangenheit kann man erfahren, wie Erinnerungen an bestimmte Orte, Symbole von Geschichte werden können und somit Bestandteile eines kollektiven Gedächtnisses kleiner Gemeinschaften werden. In einem räumlichen Archiv werden Erinnerungen, die alltäglich von Top-Down-Veränderungen vor Ort beeinflusst werden, verortet und erfahrbar gemacht.
Wie können wir uns diese urbanen Räume wieder aneignen? Eine interaktive Installation im Stadtgarten des ZK/U untersucht diese Frage im Kontext des Rumhängens an öffentlichen Orten. Der Ortsbezug wiederum wird durch einen weiteren künstlerischen Prozess beleuchtet, der veranschaulicht, wie die Bedingungen eines Ortes dessen Ergebnis beeinflussen.

[Translate to Deutsch:] Unearthing the unrecorded: memory, history and urban erasure in Brixton
Working with various members of the community in Brixton, London, our work merges spatial practice and oral history to understand what is lost when community spaces fall victim to government-backed regeneration projects. Through codifying alternative community histories in response to neoliberal practices that wreak havoc on local urban life, we have begun to produce a spatial archive that documents the communities, networks and micro-histories of the built environment that are lost in the transformation and destruction of everyday spaces in urban settings.

[Translate to Deutsch:] #kreutzbit
#kreutzbit is the attempt to create a framework in which ideas about public space can intersect and develop, to find a common ground between individual visions, paths and expectations. In a series of immersive tours through a few square meters of terrestrial ground, Adela will guide participants through unfolding trajectories and implications, old patterns of conditioning, and expanding layers of meaning, projecting unforeseen dimensions and outlining new depths on a seemingly commonplace terrain.
The display initiates the public dissemination of an ongoing research on loitering as a statement against the capitalization of public space. Adela will share her work process and discuss different leads that she chose to either abandon, or to follow thoroughly, exploring the possibility platform where diverse approaches to public space can converge. #kreutzbit is the junction between different private worlds.
[Translate to Deutsch:] Haeyoung Seo
[Translate to Deutsch:] In two video works that are registrations of past projects Haeyoung Seo invites the public to discover her practice. Showing the time consuming and gradually developing sculptures that become part of the work as a whole. Giving us an insight in the working process, and the method she uses while making her work.
Sculpturing in Mountain (2012~) reflects the artist’s physical experiences and avoids the traditional sculptures. Carrying and using only materials she could carry herself to the mountain is a process of determining the amount of materials and contents by my physical condition. Also, combining mountain climbing and sculpture interconnects her daily life and art, which was completely separated before. This eventually violates the traditional sculpture’s position advocating the autonomous art.
Currently, Haeyoung is working on Making Tool for Female Artists (2014~2016). Finding a uniformly conventional work environment problematic, she began to create a tool for a tapestry collaboration with female artists, making an alternative working space for them. While collaborating with women, she created tools (8 combs and frames) out of necessity that reflect our bodily differences, establishing a new relationship. This project is being progressed in various aspects such as feminism, handcraft, collaboration, traditional western media, and contemporary Korean art

[Translate to Deutsch:] Ghost Architectures
There is a tradition among the Chinese in Southeast Asia to burn paper-based architectural designs in order to transmogrify them into ghostly spaces for the dearly departed. In an ongoing project work Jason Wee explores these traditions with his background in architectual design. The work is a re-imagination of these ephemeral spaces as a kind of modular, flexible architecture, ever adaptable to the needs of the haunted.

[Translate to Deutsch:] A Slight Flicker
Over the last 50 years the ports of the world have been standardised, automated and in a process known as containerization. While containerization allows for the rapid cheap transport of goods it has displaced thousands of port workers and allowed for the exploitation of labor and resources that are unregulated and geographically distant from their markets.
A Slight Flicker is a science fiction story that imagines the global transportation as a global organism one that has evolved specifically for exploitation. Told live in front of the view of the Behalla Westhafen Port and incorporating digitally manipulated video, the work asks what might happen were this organism to wake up and try to communicate.
