TALES FROM A THIRD SPACE
Axel Obiger at EL PALMAR, Mexico City
TALES FROM A THIRD SPACE is divided into Chapters. It all starts with Chapter 1: vice, which will be combining a 14-day artist residency of six members of Axel Obiger with a presentation and an artist talk at Galeria de dibujo at El Palmar. Chapter 1: vice intends to introduce the Berlin based artists into the local art scene of Mexico City. It will also include lectures, studio visits and artist dinners in order to open up an intense dialogue between Axel Obiger, El Palmar and the local art scene.
The exchange with El Palmar is Axel Obiger`s first collaboration with a space in Mexico. It deals with the artistic production and living conditions of both metropoles and focuses on global transformation processes viewed from each culturally shaped perspective. In Chapter1: vice, stories (TALES) will be traveling with the artists from Berlin across the Atlantic in order to draw a direct link to Mexico as a country of immigration with its countless migrant biographies, all including their individual stories and projections connected to Mexico. The show at Galeria de dibujo at El Palmar will be containing these imported narratives and memories to bring all aspects together, both historical and fictional, individual and collective.
Chapter1: vice will feature works by Alke Brinkmann, Susanne Britz, Thilo Droste, Saeed Foroghi, Nathalie Grenzhaeuser, Harriet Gross, Gabriele Künne, Jorge Lopes, Matthias Moravek, Enrico Niemann and Maja Rohwetter.

Künstlerinnen-Gespräch mit Bruno Besana, Philosoph, im Rahmen des Gallery- und Sellerie Weekends
Aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven verhandeln Silvia Beck und Claudia Schmitz die existenzielle Frage von menschlicher Identität und künstlerischem Selbst. Die beiden Künstlerinnen entwerfen für die Ausstellung eine experimentelle Anordnung, in der sie sich mit Mechanismen künstlerischer Selbstinszenierung einerseits sowie dem Phänomen der Künstlichen Künstlerischen Intelligenz andererseits auseinandersetzen. Die spielerisch synchronisierte Installation mit den Medien Video und Projektion auf Skulptur sowie Zeichnung und Text lädt dazu ein, die Zukunft von künstlerischem Selbstverständnis und Authentizität neu zu betrachten.
English text
Starting from different perspectives, Silvia Beck and Claudia Schmitz negotiate the existential question of human identity and the artistic self. The artists create an experimental set-up for the exhibition in which they explore both the mechanisms of artistic self-staging and the phenomenon of artificial artistic intelligence. Their playfully synchronised arrangement uses the media of video and projection on sculpture as well as drawing and text and invites visitors to take a fresh look at the future of artistic self-understanding and authenticity.
