About
All the Power That Remains is a project by Ben Greber and Bram Kuypers dealing with hopes and loses of utopian visions on futuristic innovations in rail mobility. In the wake of technological inventions follows always a vision on how such an invention will offer solutions to contemporary problems and create a more comforting future. Corporations and their marketeers often make use of utopian visions, using almost biblical aesthetics of the life after implementation of the technology. Ben Greber and Bram Kuypers made a trilogy of performances on video, each taking place up and around test facilities for futuristic trains that were - or are a promising development ahead of their time. These 'Processions' are a way to commemorate that what's lost by the (unsuccessful) attempts of implementing new concepts of land travel and infrastructure.
515
515 is an artist-run space. It presents works mostly by Los Angeles artists in a variety of media.
LAGE EGAL
Founded 2010 by French artist Pierre Granoux, LAGE EGAL is an exhibition space showcasing international Berlin-based artists. It regards itself as an laboratory on tampering with the prevalent mechanisms of art presentation and mediation in a rather playful way. The emphasis is on curatorial projects that scrutinize and reconsider the stature of exhibitions as such, also as a creative act that repeatedly provides the audience with new ways of viewing art. LAGE EGAL is not only a word–play, it also describes exactly the process of a textual and programmatic dynamism and flexibility where the location of the space displays on a local level the global structures of art production and displaying itself.
