LEAP (Lab for Electronic Arts and Performance) begins 2012 with a monthly
presentation and lecture series, featuring primarliy Berlin based video artists.
The artists themselves will not be showing their own work, but curate a
two-part programme featuring on the one hand a genealogy of their artistic
work, and secondly by presenting the works of young contemporary artists,
therby offering a discursive way into their oeuvre.
This method of deconstruction allows the audience to reinterpret the work of
the artist by opening a disourse into the various elements which make up
their work and influence.
The deconstruction serves as a new beginning and basic framework for the
uncovering of developments and directions in their work, without showing the
actual work of the artist.
In addition, non-established artists are given the opportunity to show their
work through the curation of the presenting artist.
The new exhibition series “Deconstructing …” will run initially for a period of
one year offering an insight into the presenting artists work through their
influences and the curated works
The content of the 12 exhibitions, the artists and their curatorial work will be
later published as a comprehensive archive.
The series opens with “Deconstructing REYNOLD REYNOLDS” on
January 19th 2012, 20.00.
