Exhibition statement: The exhibition at the Crematorium Lilienthalstraße
7 showcases all artists’ works around the theme “The Peculiarities of
Khôra”. Khôra is an ancient Greek word coined by Plato as a term for
space, receptacle or site. He proposed that Khôra is a space that holds
no characteristics in itself, it cannot permanently contain anything but
bodiless, ephemeral, time based media and simply reflects the character
of the medium passing through. It is interpretable as a darkened room
unknown to a spectator, into which he/she is brought, deprived of
sensory input. To sensibly and intelligibly explore this space from
within, an observer can interpret the reflections of sounds, light and
shadow to grasp the room, its size and architectural geometry. The topic
was approached individually by each project member. The developed
strategies and methods aim to deliberately articulate the room and
emphasize its peculiarities in an individual artistic manner. The
exhibited works explore the cuboid space on several levels of perceptual
reality.
I am looking forward to seeing you.
All the best,
Prof. Volker Straebel
