MATERIAL SHIFT Ausstellung

In the organizer's words:

EXHIBITION with Göksu Baysal, Sophia Hallmann, Nanna Kaiser, Lasse Müller, Bianca Phos, Anna Raoh, Aylin Derya Stahl and Leah Zhang, curated by Helena McFadzean.

In a world characterized by acceleration and digital smoothness, Material Shift focuses on what resists compression. The exhibition asks: How do time, memory and transformation leave traces in the material world?

Lasse Müller, Sophia Hallmann, Göksu Baysal, Aylin Derya Stahl and Anna Raoh from Berlin as well as Nanna Kaiser and Bianca Phos from Vienna and Leah Zhang from Amsterdam combine photography and sculpture to create new hybrid forms, work with molds and place materials in unusual contexts.

Their works show what eludes visibility: Residues, imprints, afterimages. Materials become actors: they bear traces of use, heat and transformation and tell of processes that go beyond the obvious.

Material Shift shows how human action is alienated from natural and digital systems.

The exhibition takes place in the Techne Sphere Leipzig, a functioning industrial area in which handmade machines are created. Materiality can be experienced here: friction, work and transformation are present.
