Artneuland Berlin, Berlin

Curator Yael Katz Ben Shalom

The artists will work on the project as on a research study. They will serve as 'agents' and they will deliver signs, impressions, traces, reports and images to the gallery which will be turned to a kind of 'Control-Room' with the help of a multi-media-desk.

The project 'Nova Paranoia' is based on the model Artneuland, a platform dedicated to the trialogue between the three monotheistic cultures based on pictures, the written word and personal contact. The main emphasis is on intercultural dialogue and coming to grips with topical issues. This building of bridges between people and cultures should encourage artistic products and results.

The project is being staged by artists in collaboration with a team of curators and academics, resulting in a kind of laboratory situation that is designed to cast light on the background and mechanisms of paranoia.
Paranoia in this connection is interesting as a phenomenon that exacerbates people's anxieties, and so can be made an instrument for the processes of political decision-making. Having grown from an isolated phenomenon to achieve global proportions, paranoia is fundamentally based on a latent quality of 'suspicion'.
This exercises an influence on the entire condition of society, as well as having political and legislative consequences.

Artneuland creates a home for trialogues among image, word & people.

Artneuland approaches realities with an artistic inter-disciplinary discourse in order to bridge engaging cultures, focusing on the Judaism - Islam - Christianity trilationships.

Artneuland is committed to its new form of communication we call Trialogue.

Artneuland is a non-profit and non-political organization, established in order to create cultural activities using interdisciplinary art. Artneuland is pioneered and directed by the curator, Yael Katz Ben Shalom.

Artneuland is an open platform to co-operations. We encourage inter-disciplinary artists to create, debate & celebrate their voices, beliefs & ideas reflecting one another.

Our gallery is dedicated to works mainly based on photography and video.
