Abiogenesis: Forms of Language

In the version room, Abiogenesis: Forms of Language, Kseniia Stavrova and Qianxun Chen come together to examine different approaches to language, something fundamentally human, through the perspectives of non-humans.

The meaning of Abiogenesis is the origin of life from nonliving matter. Taking this as the meeting point, the two artists attempt to reconfigure language as organic or inorganic matter. The exhibition consists of various stations where viewers are encouraged to explore different physical states of language and growing textual beings. Language in organic and inorganic forms is in dialogue here to create a space for activation, imagination, and reflection on language, matter, and humans.

Eröffnung am 30.03.2023, 18 Uhr; Öffnungszeiten: 01.04-02.04.2023, 16-19 Uhr
