Artists at Work: Fritjof Mangerich and Helene Nymann

About

Fritjof Mangerich will speak about his sonic interventions Neuroschuppen and eine andere Stimme and how they are connected to his ongoing research on the psychology of architecture and the physicality of perception. With this in mind, he will speak about the work of John Hejduk, Kiyonori Kikutake and others who have attempted to reconnect architecture with the human body in light of metabolic and mental conditions.

Helene Nymann will present her artistic research and practice addressing the notion of embodied knowledge—contextual and experimental forms of receiving and transmitting ideas. Nymann will show her most recent video works that question our relation to memory in the digital age, engaging the audience in systems of remembrance and future imaginings.
