Transformers: Coiled Potential

Atelierhof Kreuzberg, Berlin

We are transformers, alchemists at play, steeped in the fumes of our reflections, turning base experience into something more desirable. We are the arbiters of potential, conjurers of resistance, stepping up the voltage from one set of coiled emotions to another, spinning up just enough power to transmit our story across the globe. We are hard-wired components straddling our past and our future, turning our personal histories, mythologies, cultural genetics and ethnic dynasties into the future stories we want to tell about ourselves…

'Transformers' is the Berlin manifestation of two years work by eleven graduating artists from Transart Institute. Transart Institute has engaged Trampoline curators Miles Chalcraft and Anette Schäfer to oversee the presentation of final works developed over 2 years of rigorous development. We are invited to examine the fruition of their determined yet diverse trajectories, which have been harvested through the use of film, painting, digital graphics, installation, sculpture, photography and sound. Personal, social, cultural and political histories have been re-visited, re-interpreted, re-shaped and re-figured to reveal the depth of creative potential. Collectively, the body of MFA work speaks of transformation.

About Transart

Transart Institute offers an international low-residency MFA and a practice-based PhD program for working artists in a highly individualized format. The innovative MFA program consists of three intensive summer residencies with lectures, workshops, critiques, seminars, performances and exhibitions in Europe and two winter residencies in New York. The Institute's programs are geared towards the development of a sustainable artistic praxis rather than training in certain media or genres, challenging students to think conceptually and work creatively in new ways. Current students work with animation, curating, digital media, film, gaming, graphic design, installation, painting, performance, photography, robotics, sculpture, sound, text, video, virtual reality. www.transart.org
