Rory Macbeth / The long march back to progress
curated by Elke Gruhn and Katharina Klara Jung
The site specific installations of Rory Macbeth (*1965) tackle the great ideas of the humanistic sciences with subtle humour. He puts together a requiem for postmodernism, after which the only remaining option is to go back to a flawed idea of progress.
Sebastian Buerkner / Empire Stencil
curated by Elke Gruhn and Katharina Klara Jung
In his multicannel video installation, Sebastian Buerkner (*1975) examines
structure and syntax of filmic representation. His animations' almost hypnotic flashing and thumping of seemingly abstract shapes and rapid single-image sequences emancipate the viewers to become the authors of their own vision.
Katharine Segura Harvey / 'cabin'd, cribb'd, confin'd'
curated by Elke Gruhn and Katharina Klara Jung
The shortfilms of Katharine Segura Harvey (*1982) are concerned with the painful and desolate aspects of human existance. With the protagonists' advanced age, the implicit loses its sense of familiarity and safety, leaving barely anything other than an every-day sentiment of tristesse and forebording.
