KH門 Festival
Organized by the ctrl-space seminarrrr featuring videos, interventions, performances and various uncategorizable works by participating students.
The works on display reflect the difficult conditions for art during the pandemic and are partly very personal reactions to the experience of being locked out, from each other and from the social space KHM. The proclamation of the KH門 Festival is the counter-proposal, the ceremonial opening of all spaces to the public. The title is a pun on “KHM”. 門 is the Chinese and Japanese ideogram for gate/door and is pronounced [mu:n] / moo͞n in Korean, and similarly in many East Asian countries.
Video works are exhibited at windows facing the public sidewalk (along with a live view of the “Netze Open” site) featuring Jey Yoo, Kihuun Park, and Ting-Chun Liu; portals to an augmented reality work by Julia Vergazova are distributed around the area; Bidisha Das performs an audio walk capturing electromagnetic interferences; Kihuun Park invites immigrants to share stories; cryptic artifacts and invitations to connect and share by Cao Bijun can be found in various places around KHM; Jeesoo Hong and Hye Young Sin question the interaction with non-human agencies; and Naoto Hieda hosts an exhibition of a browser-based performance project with Jorge Guevara on a construction site. — The ctrl-space seminar is led by Christian Sievers.
?Netze Open
An online exhibition featuring a collection of artworks electronically posted on Netze Discord, an open platform for KHM students and anyone interested in participation.
Since the Netze curatorial team is taking a vacation and failed to deliver meticulously selected artworks, all the latest artworks on Discord are indiscriminately exhibited in the online gallery and updated in real time by a competent bot:
