Andrea will give an introduction into her artistic practice led research that investigates the co-constitutive relationship between attention and space: how – through altering their logic - a new ‘imaginal’ space might appear in their overlap. It works towards developing a cosmology of attention and modes of spectatorship – an experience of an expanded range and quality of perception and attention - practiced through artistic work as an interface with the world.

Working through ‘differentiated attention’, ‘weaving spaces’ and ‘mapping dreams’, the research explores the overlaps of spatiotemporal logic in dreams, gameplay and cosmology in site-responsive collaborations with architectural structures and their given systems and their spectatorship apparatus. It seeks to blur the edges between the stage and the world to consider the co-constructedness of the theatre and the world as imaginal spaces.

The performative show-and-tell research presentation will include excerpts from the performance How To Exit a Reality (Attempt 1 of 19) and from the colour and light installations The Light Archive and the Looking-Glass House in collaboration with Julia Willms and Billy Mullaney and a response to the research by Konstantina Georgelou, Joe Kelleher and Billy Mullaney.

Looking-Glass House at KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, Arne Jacobsen Foyer, Hannover

We are very happy to annonce a new audio-visual installation Looking-Glass House is presented at KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen.

Preview: Friday, 13 May — 21.00 hrs
Opening: Saturday, 14 May 2022 — 21.00 hrs

Exhibition: 14.05.2022 – 29.05.22, daily from 21.00-23.00 hrs

…

Looking-Glass House is a new work by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms in collaboration with the moon: an audio-visual installation for the Arne Jacobsen Foyer at the Herrenhausen Gardens taking place every evening of the festival after the sunset. It takes the visitors on a parcour of spaces from outside the building to an immersive environment inside it and back outside to the night sky.

Especially for the occasion of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, Božić and Willms have prepared the exact same night sky above Hanover as it was in 1965, the year the construction of the Arne Jacobsen Foyer began. Throughout the festival, the moon passes through the exact same phases, against the same backdrop of the star constellations, making a replica of the night sky in 1965: growing towards a full moon to then disappear from the skies on the closing night of the festival. With a special event: a lunar eclipse above Hanover on the 16th of May.

The new light installation inside the AJ Foyer brings the palette of the night sky colours into the modernist glass-house building, expanding its architectural inversion of the inside outside spaces and the play of mirroring and reflections.

Inside the building, the visitors can enter the audio-visual installation Through the Looking Glasses, sensory immersion within the space of colour and sound, a no- space experience based on the Ganzfeld effect.

The Cube at KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, KUBUS, Hannover

We are excited to announce The Cube is presented at the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, KUBUS, Hannover

Opening: Friday, 13 May 2022, 19 hrs

Exhibition: 14 May - 19 June 2022

…

The Cube is an audio-visual installation, an immersive environment for a white cube space where the entire room is part of the work. The installation re-organizes the apparatus of the white cube by overlapping the architectural space with images of the forces of nature at work.

For the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, The Cube has found a perfect host at the municipal gallery Kubus, seamlessly fusing with it.

The Cube fills a wall with a video projection of the gallery space itself, extending and doubling the white cube space through central-perspective projection. A series of very slow cross-fades overlaps spectacular weather conditions, dramatic natural landscapes and animals into this extended space. The relative scales of a mountain landscape or a snail are modified to fit into the same white cube, making everything either too big or too small relative to the eponymous cube or the viewers: The mountain appears in miniature but the snail is a giant both in relation to the room and the spectator. The extended white cube does not remain unchanged by the forces and animals it contains, but the walls also break open so the visitor finds themselves at the top of a mountain or in an aquarium. The installation brings images into this white cube that problematize human relationship with and interventions into nonhuman systems. Alpine pastures and rocky mountain ranges which look like ‘wild’ nature but are in fact landscapes co-created artificially through cultivation’ and heavily exploited for skiing and other nature sports and tourism.

The installation overlaps a cinematic procedure with the architecture, intensifying the presence of the resulting imaginal space. The very slow cross-fades invite the viewer into deeply immersive states while underlining the actual room. One’s gaze shifts between these two poles, internalizing the environment: One is both here and elsewhere. The Cube is a moving sculpture, a choreography of gaze, a performance of space.

The Cube is based on analogic dream logic: By weaving the organic, architectural and digital spaces, both the continuity of materialities as well as the logic of space constantly shift, placing the viewer into a perspective which is always multiple, allowing for the experience of multiplicity, and to occupy several spacetimes at the same time.

Opening: Friday, 13 May 2022, 19 hrs
