27.01 - 26.02.2011 - INTERNATIONAL PROJECT 'SIGN & TIME'
In cooperation with “Transmediale 11” (www.transmediale.de)

Concept

Cultural and social memory consists of signs and coding systems. The transformation of the signs over time (through the development of communication technology, computer science, etc.) and its transfer to another artificial milieu or medium, creates a new intercultural environment, offering a possibility for new and diverse interpretations. The works - cultural mutants or hybrids - are objects of immunization and deconstruction, dissolving the social and cultural canon. A game between the cultural archetypes and society develops, allowing for the permanent exchange between form and content.
In the project "Sign & Time", artists are analyzing the discrepancy between sign and content within the structure of existing cultural sign systems.

Artists of the project:
Alexandra Dementieva (Belgium), Koen Theys (Belgium), Costantino Ciervo (Italy), Don Ritter (Canada), Jan-Peter E.R. Sonntag (Germany), Anna Frants (Russia - USA), Georgi Begun (Germany), Raphaele Shirley (USA)

Opening reception – January 27th at 7 p.m.
