In the exhibition "On Frail Ground", works by the artists Petja Ivanova
and Mihai Grecu are placed in dialogue.
The tenor and the undertone could be described as the 'creation of an
existential feeling', a feeling of fragility, of imminent collapse.
Rigid monuments of an ideology expressed in cement are attacked by
forces of nature and show their last absurd steadfastness. Barren
surfaces show fragile shining traces of human existence. Delicate derma
structures are clothed and protected by a polysaccharide material
inherent to fungi, arthropods, and molluscs, which leads to the creation
of a new hybrid. Are we at the beginning of a changing materialism and
repositioning in the Anthropocene?
Bio: Petja Ivanova
Born in Shumen, Bulgaria and based in Berlin, Petja graduated from the
University of Arts Berlin in the class for Computational Art/Generative
Art in 2015. In her trans-disciplinary practice she combines
archaeology, biology, physics, computation and the poetic in order to
promote the ‘poetic method’ as a counterweight to the socially
dominating ‘scientific method’, understanding this practice in
non-linear relation with Fluxus & Avantgarde. She runs Studio for Poetic
Futures and Speculative Ecologies out of a little caravan in Berlin.
Early in her artistic work with electronics and sensors she began to
include mythological approaches, the magical and non-quantifiable to
analyses these connections in terms of deep time of media/technology.
Being a bit frustrated by the simple causalities in quantification she
turned to overcoming the conceptual divide of what is natural and what
is technological by working with crystals and electronic circuits and
later on also with plants, microorganisms and now insects and bacteria.
Bio: Mihai Grecu
Mihai was born in Romania in 1981. After studying art and design in
Romania and France, he has been pursuing his artistic research at the
Fresnoy Studio of Contemporary Arts. Recurring topics such as
environmental crisis, political allegories, new technologies and
catastrophes articulate the whole of his exploration of mysterious and
subconscious beginnings. These visual and poetic trips mix several
techniques and may be seen as propositions for a new dream-oriented
technology. His work has been shown and awarded in numerous film
festivals (Tribeca, Locarno, Rotterdam, Festival of New Cinema in
Montreal) and exhibitions ("Dans la nuit, des images" at the Grand
Palais, "Labyrinth of my mind" at the Cube, "Video Short list: the Dream
Machine" at the Passage du Retz, "Studio" at "Les Filles du Calvaire"
Gallery).
Art Claims Impulse is a gallery and platform in Berlin founded in 2006
specialised in video art, performance, and installations. Its main
interest is in art with an unusual approach, innovative from a thematic,
technical, and aesthetical point of view.

[rohrpost] Saturday, 04.07. from 6-8pm, ACI is Surfing with... Anna Anders
Art Claims Impulse invites you to an interactive online event tomorrow, Saturday, 04.07.2020, from 6pm-8pm Surfing with... Anna Anders Livestream Link: https://art-claims-impulse.com/de/surfing-with-front/aci-livestream VEILING AND DISAPPEARING Anna will surf through the World Wide Web and show examples in which things or people disappear through e.g. camouflage, disguise, masking or hiding. The examples can be excerpts from movies, works by artists or amateurs from the fields of documentation, music video, dance, slapstick or art. Anna Anders is a video artist and professor at the Berlin University of the Arts for the teaching field of moving images at the faculty of design. Since more than thirty years she creates single and multi channel videos works, objects and photo series. We have created three channels for you to interact with us, ask questions and comment while the surfing event is taking place. Normally, before Covid-19, this was a live event where people sat together watched and interacted live with the presenter. You can ask your questions on: Twitter: ART CLAIMS IMPULSE @ACI_Berlin Facebook: Art Claims Impulse Instagram:artclaims Art Claims Impulse We are looking forward to enjoying the event with all of you! The concept of “Surfing with…” Art Claims Impulse invites you to a personal informal evening. Get to know people from art, philosophy, urbanism and other inspiring fields. Spend an evening with the person we invited, during which you are taken along on a surfing trip and introduced to aspects of their internet world. Which trends, ideas or projects caught their attention lately? What do they find interesting to share with other people? Come along on a 2h trip, both inspiring and entertaining.

[rohrpost] Opening, Today, 09.07. from 4-7 PM @ ACI | "He Told Me to Remain Silent" | Dave Ball & Jörg Piringer
Art Exhibition Opening Today curated by Art Claims Impulse He Told Me to Remain Silent Opening today: Thu 09.07.2020 | 4:00-7:00 PM Exhibition: 10 – 30.07.2020 | Tue - Sat 12:00 - 06:00 PM Location: Projektraum 3 @ feldfünf Fromet-und-Moses-Mendelssohn-Platz 7-8 10969 Berlin In our last exhibition before the summer break we show art works by Dave Ball and Jörg Piringer. Both artists deal with the visualization of language. Jörg Piringer calls himself a "digital poet". He programs his computer to generate sound poems, to write independently and creatively. We have had him in our program since he won the ZKM App Art Award 2012. His exploration of language and poetry has now led him to be nominated for this year's Ingeborg Bachmann Prize. Dave Ball, shortlisted for the Berlin Art Prize in 2016, has taken on an unimaginable performance project: he visualizes a myriad of words of the Concise English Oxford Dictionary according to rules he has established. We followed his path since he first joined the art residency program at Art Claims Impulse in 2008. In this exhibition, we show individual sequences of A, B, C and D. Our curation shows two different positions (Jörg Piriniger: digital works, Dave Ball: drawings, illustrations and photos), thus creating a dialogue on the subject of language visualisation. "He Told Me to Remain Silent" is our response to Wittgenstein's last sentence in his treaty "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent", which we question with the artworks by Dave Ball and Jörg Piringer, who both offer an open and individual interpretation of language. partikel by Jör Piringer is a reflection on the attempts to establish pervasive voice control for devices and means of transport on a large scale. In contrast to so-called personal assistants such as Alexa or Siri, however, partikel is not concerned with subordinating one's own speech to the utilitarian computer system and its exploitation models and at the same time adapting one's own language to the machine, but rather with expanding the sound and speech possibilities of the voice and exploring new forms of expression. It is an interactive dynamic text-sound installation in which the audience control the visual and acoustic events through their voices. Everything reacts to each other: the sound influences the image and the image the sound. The audience can control the complex behaviour of the sounding letters with pitch, sound quality and volume of their voice and experiment with them with relish. A to Z by Dave Ball is an umbrella work comprising a series of successive semi-independent projects defined by a particular letter of the alphabet; each introduces some new conceptual parameter or media restriction, whilst adhering to the basic parameters of the overall work. The work originally developed out of an interest in utilising randomness as a generative tool, inspired in part by a well-known technique for encouraging lateral thinking, which is to pick a word at random in the dictionary and apply that to whatever subject-matter is being investigated – thus breaking out of the constraints of conventionally linear, logical thought. A to Z deliberately pushes the rationale behind this technique to an absurd level, where there is nothing left except the non-linear thought; divorced of any context, the efficacy of the operation is called into question. What remains is a farcically large collection of sequential images, whose meaningfulness is undermined by the excessive faith in semiotic cogency that drives the project’s relentless marrying of words and images. Looking forward to welcoming you!!
