“I am Flux” at Ur­ban Na­ti­on: Iden­ti­ty th­rough the ages

I am Flux — The Free­dom of Be­ing and the Pos­si­bi­li­ties of Be­co­ming

(Name of the exhibition in the original language)

The ex­hi­bi­ti­on “I am Flux — The Free­dom of Be­ing and the Pos­si­bi­li­ties of Be­co­ming” in the pro­ject space of Ber­lin’s Ur­ban Na­ti­on Mu­se­um opens up fa­sci­na­ting per­spec­ti­ves on the con­stant trans­for­ma­ti­on of iden­ti­ty in a dy­na­mic, tech­no­lo­gy-dri­ven pre­sent. Twel­ve in­ter­na­tio­nal ar­tists, sup­port­ed by the Fresh A.I.R. pro­gram­me and the Mar­tha Coo­per Scho­lar­ship, ad­dress the tran­si­ti­on of the self bet­ween trans­for­ma­ti­on, ar­tis­tic ex­pres­si­on and tech­no­lo­gi­cal in­no­va­ti­on. In their works, they search for new forms, re­flect on gen­der ro­les, ques­ti­on tra­di­tio­nal boun­da­ries and crea­te bridges bet­ween the bo­dy, tech­no­lo­gy and me­ta­phy­si­cal spaces of ex­pe­ri­ence.

Or­ga­nis­ed in­to the th­ree the­ma­tic are­as “Ho­ri­zons of Be­ing”, “Whis­pers of Exis­tence” and “Bey­ond Li­mits”, the con­tri­bu­ti­ons ran­ge from cri­ti­cal dis­cour­ses on iden­ti­ty and gen­der to poe­tic re­flec­tions on vi­si­bi­li­ty and ab­sence and crea­ti­ve ex­ten­si­ons of the hu­man th­rough tech­no­lo­gy and na­tu­re. The di­ver­se forms of ex­pres­si­on — from in­stal­la­ti­ons and sculp­tures to vi­deo, di­gi­tal me­dia, XR tech­no­lo­gies, pain­ting and per­for­mance — make “I am Flux” a mul­ti­me­dia ex­pe­ri­ence that makes it pos­si­ble to ex­pe­ri­ence ques­ti­ons about one’s own be­ing and be­co­ming in the cour­se of time bo­th ar­tis­ti­cal­ly and thoughtful­ly.
