GBB_edits #4: A RELIC IS A STICKY MATTER
Annual exhibition of the Graduate School for the Moving Image (GBB).
A relic. Something from the past to which new meanings cling. A part of a former whole that has survived. It remains, cannot be shaken off. A starting point for looking at actual or possible pasts and futures.
The works in this exhibition explore the concept of the relic as a threshold space between decay and emergence. They examine anti-queer legislation, the construction of private ownership of land, an abandoned space history site, living artifacts, museumized houses of famous artists, and memories fragmented by trauma.
The Graduate School for Moving Image: Analog Realities, Digital Materialities (GBB) was established as a pilot project at the School of Art and Design in 2020. The GBB continues to develop the third phase (i.e. postgraduate, after an MA, diploma or equivalent artistic degree) at the Kunsthochschule and spans the field of moving image between games, animation, video, new media and film. Artists, designers and filmmakers come together here to develop and discuss their research projects over the course of four semesters. Together they realize public presentations and self-designed workshop formats.
A RELIC IS A STICKY MATTER is the annual exhibition of the Graduate School for Moving Image, which presents the projects of the participants as a series under the title GBB_edits and is also the final exhibition for those who complete their two-year participation in the GBB.
On display are works by Paula Berger, Zirui Chen, Anna Ilin, Sarah Veith (in collaboration with Alisa Kossak & the Other Gods), Annkathrin Kluss and Max Hilsamer.
