About
Science Fiction is the Best Friction at ROSALUX, the Berlin based art space is a collaborative exhibition assembling artists from Los Angeles’ Durden and Ray gallery, Nixxxon from Mexico City, and artists from Berlin. This experimental exhibition features imagery and scenarios of unforecasted inventions and artworks as a gestural attempt to engage with and affect the trajectory of affirmative future possibilities; toward not completely understood results.
Science Fiction is the Best Friction may be an amorous abrasive friction between the artists, objects and ideas for the experience of this event.
ROSALUX
ROSALUX is a project space with a strong interdisciplinary and international orientation that has been firmly rooted in Berlin for more than 15 years. It is named after Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, an interface between creative districts. Rosa Luxemburg’s courage and commitment to a fairer society have been a growing inspiration.
Durden & Ray
Founded in 2009, Durden and Ray is comprised of artist/curators who work together to create exhibition opportunities at their downtown Los Angeles gallery as well as in concert with artist groups and gallery spaces around the world. They concentrate on small, tightly curated group shows at the gallery, organized by the members, and hosts international artists as part of a commitment to global exchange and alternative networks. The Durden and Ray model expressly overlaps multiple strategies, including the commercial potential and visual identity of a gallery, the democratic structure of an artist group, the potential to create collaborative works of art in the manner of a collective, and the shared fiscal support of its programs by group members and project partners similar to a nonprofit organization.
NIXXXON
NIXXXON, is an independent space located in Mexico City dedicated to the research and exhibition of local and international contemporary art. Since its founding, the project has developed individual and collective exhibitions that aim to recognize and professionalize artists, curators and other creators of cultural goods. In recent years, the project has consolidated itself as an elastic, multi-faceted space in which more horizontal dialogues are proposed between creatives and with the public.
