Ars Viva Laboratory

Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Stuttgart

Since the 19th century, the natural sciences determine the discourse on what reality is. Artists have paid their tribute to this development by adopting practices and ideas from the natural sciences, or by commenting on them or by constructing counter-images to this field of knowledge. This exhibition enquires into recent approaches in art that artistically explore the "laboratory con­ ditions" of knowledge. The exhibiting artists are art award winners of the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI. Since 1953, the "ars viva" award is granted to three or four young art­­ ists living in Germany. The winners of 2010/2011 are Nina Canell, Klara Hobza, Markus Zimmermann and Andreas Zybach. The award is conferred according to a specific "search term" – in this year it was the term "Laboratory". The selection of works shown at the Kunstmuseum was put together especially for Stuttgart.

Klara Hobza (b. 1975 in Plzeˇ, Czech Republic) studied at Columbia University in New York and at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich. The starting point for her performances and artistic stories are playful and often daring tasks that she imposes on herself. What all the pieces have in common is that they have little chance of succeeding.

Nina Canell (b. 1979 in Växjö, Sweden) studied at the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Ireland. Her fragile installations, suspended between technology and nature, often appear like scientific experiments.

Markus Zimmermann (b. 1978 in Hanover, Germany) studied at the Kunst­akademie Münster and at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig. reality is.

The award is conferred according to a specific "search term" – inviewer to enter into atmospherically charged miniature rooms.

Andreas Zybach (b. 1975 in Olten, Switzerland) studied at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Zurich as well as at the Frankfurt Städel, Hochschule für Bildende Künste. Zybach is particularly interested in investigating questions of scientific relevance, from which he develops large-scale and occasion­ ally interactive installations.
