Joachim Koester - Poison Protocols and Other Histories

About

Joachim Koester - Poison Protocols and Other Histories 6 Aug 2009 - 25 Oct 2009 In this first UK solo exhibition of Joachim Koester's works, Stills pays attention to the artist's exploration of invisible and forgotten histories of transgression. Joachim Koester uses strategies of montage, archiving and storytelling to illuminate and complicate historical events that form a collective mythical construction of the recent past. His works explore the legacies and mine the fictions that form around movements and experiments - be they in the systems of art, mind-altering substances or the occult.
