≟, performative lectures

ABIOGENESIS, Gallery Huuto, Helsinki, 13.11.-29.11.2015

Group exhibition together with Marloes van Son (NL) and Erik Parr (USA).

Abiogenesis refers to the emergence of order from disorder, life from the inanimate. In abiogenesis order gains momentum: knowledge replaces the unknown, the factual replaces belief and technology replaces magic. We presented meditations on our technological age that forms a dialogue about how the definition of knowledge occurs in different contexts. In its performative, spatial and visual works, Abiogenesis examined a world that exists somewhere between scientific explanation and subjective interpretation.

≟ were series of performative lectures MAGICK, KHAOS & KOSMOS, dealing with ambivalent relationship between scientific terminology and readings. The lectures investigated the history of Western science in critical and imaginative ways: witchcraft, men with beards and inexplicable nature phenomena!
