Artists at Work: Charlotte Eifler and Anton Kats

About

For this Artists at Work event, artists Charlotte Eifler and Anton Kats will stage an encounter between two semi-fictional characters named YEVA and ILYICH. Both characters are at once of this world, yet not entirely from it. Embracing cyber-entity anachronisms YEVA’s interest lays in the intersection between immateriality and the material impact of internet technology. Manifesting herself through the tactics of feminist media pioneers, her meeting with ILYICH will address sonic strategies in relation to the decolonized potential of sound, rhythm and ritual and the material dimension of listening. While ILYICH’s plans to reenact a spaceship that has not been built yet start to materialize, the public is invited to join this special Artists at Work, in which either the artists or their invented characters will welcome you.
