Fri 4.12. – Sun 20.12.2020
Presentation for public space: Mon to Sun 16 – 22 o’clock

Curators: projekt3drei with Annette Hünnekens and Sabine Schäfer

Large-scale video projections of artworks by GEDOK artists, exposed to the “second glance”.

The video installation can be visited in front of the GEDOK as well as on the GEDOK homepage.

This year’s SPECIAL PRESENTATION will feature video clips by aspiring photo designer Sophia Hünnekens, projected in a loop as a large-scale projection onto various interior surfaces of the GEDOK. They present to the outside viewer a selection of photographically captured artworks by GEDOK artists that have been exposed to the young “digital second glance.” It can be clearly seen which inner dimension and system logic the respective artwork follows, what holds it together inside.

‘projekt3drei’ is a conceptual international project of the specialist group “Photography/ Media Art” and was founded in 2014 by the artists Astrid Hansen, Birgit Spahlinger and Katrin Eschenberg. This year, the group has expanded to include Sabine Schäfer and Ina Annette Hünnekens.

With this year’s special presentation of ‘projekt3drei’, GEDOK is simultaneously launching its support program for young, aspiring female artists.

No special event is planned for the opening of the presentation. The video installation can be visited in front of the GEDOK. The art videos of Sophia Hünnekens can also be experienced on the homepage of GEDOK Karlsruhe from the beginning of the exhibition on December 4.

Art weeks for climate protection

Extinction of species. Climate change. We do not want to look on in helpless horror. But what can art do against the poisoning of our soils, against the pollutant emissions of misguided traffic, against the plundering of our planet’s resources? Against profit thinking in the traditional manner. For a turn away from comfortable habits to mindfulness towards the environment and fellow human beings?

Art appeals to both the intellect and the emotions. Art can create consternation where arguments fall flat. Art can make concrete what scientists theoretically recognize and present. Mindfulness requires perception. And only what we perceive, we will appreciate; only what we love, we will protect. Art perceives and lets perceive. Sensitively, precisely. With ever new ways of seeing, art releases colors, forms, sounds, words from their usual context and creates new unsuspected connections and references. It presents unexpected scenarios that lie dormant in things, as long as we only use our imagination. It thus shows that our environment can be influenced and changed. This is how art makes critical remarks. This is how political interventions succeed. Plastic waste draped in sculpture; plants in the dungeon of urban grids; birdsong drowned out by traffic noise; islands of quiet listening in the din of the city.

Many contribute to our “Art Weeks for Climate Protection”. Visual artists, writers, musicians, artists of the applied and performing arts. We cooperate with the environmental office of the city of Karlsruhe and several local environmental initiatives, which contribute accompanying events.
