A concertante spatial installation for a loudspeaker audience

A production by Costa Compagnie hosted by Kunstverein.

In September, the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof becomes the stage for six performers and the smart home assistant "Google Home". Costa Compagnie addresses the interaction of human beings and artificial intelligence.

"Stockholm Syndrome" takes as its starting point the inculcation of social roles at the point where the individual and the collective intersect. It examines the mechanisms of identification, attribution and suggestion in terms of their performative, spatial and social aspects.

A guest production by Ursina Tossi

Political activism was and is bodily: The resistant body in movement remembers its potentials. With "Resisting Bodies" Ursina Tossi presents the body through dance as a space, where political agency and "resistance" have their beginning and where the action of the one and the many are being put on trial.

Ruth Buchanan explores in performances, installations, sculptures, publications and films – which often include language as material – the conditions under which the processing of cultural production takes place, questioning the implicit agreements of the handling, organization, and presentation of such material and its respective formats. Or, a camera Or, a building Or, a screen focuses on the auditory and is made up of three sound works and an appendix combined with graphic, sculptural, and performative elements. Buchanan's linguistic operations are condensed text-based variations of the previously presented constituent parts of this cycle of work: a performance, an exhibition, and a film.

Daniel Laufer’s spatial arrangements combine painting, video, performance, text and music. Laufer’s exhibition at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof features paintings, objects and a two-channel video installation that was filmed partially in the Kunstverein’s galleries and the Golem club cinema in Hamburg.

Based on the idea of an archive, the exhibition at the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof focuses on Sherman’s performative works as well as their photographic documentation by Babette Mangolte. It also features his films, almost all of which are part of the collection at the MoMA New York.

Kerstin Cmelka's interest in the format of "microdramas" provides the focus in her exhibition at the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof. The short dramatic texts of frequently performed plays – considering their distribution – have gained the popularity of a folk play. Arranged in an installation of video projections, the plays physically direct the viewer through the exhibition space.

"Vortrag/Trag/Nachtrag: Versuch zum erfolgreichen Scheitern" ist die Rede über Kunst und die Frage nach der Sinnhaftigkeit von Professionalität. Innerhalb des Vortrags wird der Vortrag sich auf sich selbst beziehen, abschweifen, zitieren, aufzählen. Er endet im Scheitern, könnte aber immer wieder im Loop von vorn beginnen.
