About
Following two years of social distancing and isolation Art Laboratory Berlin will devote 2022 exploring what social possibilities can be thawed and revived. The project series Hacking, Making, Thinking proposes that Doing it With Others (DIWO) can be a way of rebuilding and re-energizing damaged social relations. After a period when most of us have been reliant on corporate technologies, Open (source) knowledge will form a basis for making and thinking. Above all we are interested in an open culture based on reciprocity, cooperation and exchange on a global level. Combining Berlin based artists and venues with guest artists from Latin America and Southeast Asia this project proposes art making as a tool for social empowerment and knowledge acquisition, collaboration, and working together.
The project will be based around a group exhibition featuring Indonesian artist Irene Agrivina, Taiwanese artist/designer Pei-Ying Lin, The Mexican collective Interspecifics, Berlin based artist Cammack Lindsey, Chilean artist Constanza Piña Pardo and Rice Brewing Sisters Club (RBSC) a collective from South Korea.
Connecting the exhibition to practical action will be workshops by Interspecifics, Constanza Piña, Irene Agrivina and RBSC and performances by Cammack Lindsey and Pei-Ying Lin (in cooperation with the Berlin collective Soy Division).
