Artist Statement:
Eva Duerden aims to create a perpetual feeling of novice-hood. The works employ symbols and aesthetics from memories, reamalgmating them to create novel approaches from the user/viewer, to create contradictions, double takes, and (mis)understandings. Fascinated by how we categorise and standardise objects, how they belong to hierarchies of value by mode, material, and context, determining their ‘correctness’, Eva aims to highlight the performativity that permeates these objects and, in turn, ourselves when we engage with them.

Eine Ausstellung zu dem Thema „patriarchalischen Auswirkungen auf die jetzige Weltordnung“. Medien, die uns umgeben, sind von männlichen Belangen geprägt. Macht ist Liebe, meinen einige immer noch. In der interaktiven Ausstellung wird die Diversität der Druckmedien dargestellt, die unseren Alltag füllt. Dabei hinterfragt das Konzept die symbolische Deutung der Charaktere und der Abbildungen.
Zäune, Zölle und Staubsauger, diese Dinge umgeben uns und geben das Lebenstempo vor. Dabei ändern sich mediale Texte, doch weniger die dazu gehörende Bilder. Diesen Fragen geht die Ausstellung nach.

Veronika Volkova told the participants of the meeting a summary of Rosi Braidotti’s book: Posthuman.
„The Gaidar Institute publishing house published a book by Rosi Braidotti, a philosopher and feminist, professor at Utrecht University, and also the head and founder of the Center for the Humanities at Utrecht University. This work is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of posthumanity – technocracy and digitalization, modern bio- and necropolitics, problems of humanism and posthumanism.“
Briefly about Veronika Volkova, Architect at LAVA (Laboratory for Visionary Architecture), Berlin, Deutschland
„I aim to approach architecture as a form of a participatory art that provides people with a space for realizing the total freedom of self-realization. An architect can inspire playful interactions between people and their environment by transforming a building or urban space into a sandbox. Architecture that approaches the users in a sensual and fun way makes people conscious of their environment and reinforces their emotional correlation with it. An inventive spatial conceptualization helps people to approach surroundings with an innovative attitude. „
