ATRIUM PROJECT: "HEARTH" EDITION OF 250 PRINTS IN COOPERATION WITH 33 E WASHINGTON GALLERIES
This is a one-time edition of two hundred and fifty unique prints featuring two hundred and fifty continuous frames of “Hearth” – From four minutes and thrity seconds to four minutes and forty seconds. Realized in cooperation with SITE Galleries, 33 E Washington St, Chicago, United States on the occasion of the Atrium projection of “Hearth”.
The hearth, hypnotizing center of gatherings, of exchange and nourishment, is sustained by the eerie and volatile flow of the invisible gas.
Here, night vision technology allows us to see its sculptural body beyond the limits of our perception, giving myriad shapes to the resource enabling and sustaining the flames life. Taken to a vertical screen, a fireplace unto itself, the work creates a mere simulation that nonetheless exerts its mesmerizing elemental force, interrogating the psychosomatic links between light and darkness, seeing and blindness.
"HEARTH" AND "UNTITLED", NEW WORK EXHIBITION AT 33 E WASHINGTON
June 23 – July 23, 2022
New Work showcases projects by SAIC graduate students selected through portfolio reviews by the SAIC Exhibitions and Exhibition Studies Committee. The works examine the dualities of individual and collective spaces and experiences through ritual, history, technology, and environment. They address practices of both industrial and natural consumption, emphasizing forms of temporality as well as underlining relationships between imagined and existing realities. Through their works, the artists look to question and subvert these omnipresent ideas, creating areas for growth and new understandings.
Artists include Iréne Niké Alberty-Cardona, Elizabeth Burden, Tallulah Cartalucca, Matthew Cortez, Nick D'Alessandro, Clara Emery, Becs Epstein, Vivi Niya Gao, Philipp Groth, Lillian Heredia, Hai-Wen Lin, TONG LIU, Sino Park, Clark Woods, and Ryan Z.
"DIALECTICS AT A STANDSTILL" AT GOETHE INSTITUTE
Goethe Institut, Chicago

The Goethe-Institut is the cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany with a global reach. Programs feature important elements of contemporary German culture. Not only does the Goethe-Institut present art and culture from Germany, but we also convey the intellectual trends and social issues now under discussion.
Modern society is progress-driven and places extreme value on action and productivity. At the same time, the limits of this lifestyle are becoming undeniable. As a counterpoint to progress and movement, standstills have gained particular importance over the last few centuries — they fascinate us and terrify us. This magazine is dedicated to standing still.
STILLSTAND is a continuation of the collaboration between colleagues in Montreal, Munich, New Delhi, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., that began in 2020 with FEHLER, a digital zine celebrating mistakes. For STILLSTAND, colleagues in Boston, Chicago, Guadalajara, Mexico City, San Francisco, and Seattle joined the party. Together with wonderful authors, artists, and partners, this international team filled the STILLSTAND magazine with essays, anecdotes, photography, films, and music that exemplify standstills in all of their many forms

連帯はミセリーの唯一の敵です 2020、3つの画面でのビデオ 大規模なビデオインスタレーションである「連帯は不幸の唯一の敵」を表示することにより、ケーニッグ東京はPhilipp Grothによる最新の映画作品を上映できることを嬉しく思います。映画は多層映画の言語を使用しながら、アイデンティティと表現の相互作用に焦点を当てています。 互いに平行でありながら物理的に分離された作品は、3つの個別の画面に表示され、すべてが独自の視覚用語を使用して、民族、性別、大衆文化の交差点で対話します。そうすることで、この映画は、ボールルームシーンの創設家の1つであるニューヨーク市に本拠を置くセントローランの象徴的な家への洞察を可能にします。 映画を構成するインタビューとヴォーギングダンスパフォーマンスは、日常生活と夢の世界の間の複雑な対立を反映し、具体化し、自由と、の弁証法的な性質を交渉するために導かれました。明確に、この映画は、主観的な文書として、その主題の客観的な記録を実際に構成することはできないことを強調しており、それがacte tmが映画をドキュメンタリージャンルに帰属させることを控えている理由です。 その批評において、連帯は不幸の唯一の敵であり、LGBTQコミュニティのさまざまな物語や主体性へのオマージュであり、表現や連帯などのトピックを網羅しています。 「正しい」解釈方法を課そうとすることなく、映画は基本的にバイナリの位置と制限的な分類に基づいているシステムに疑問を投げかけています。
