Social Geometrism

About

The theme of this year’s festival came as an extension of “Social Geometry”, a term, which was introduced by the American sociologist Donald Black in an effort to measure social morphology, as it had been developed within the postmodern society.

Black’s model was a cluster, composed by geometrical lines and shapes, which was intended to symbolize and interpret social phenomena. The multidimensional geometric amalgams that arose were designed to convey the real space where people live, while also stand as a new type of geography.

In a time where social patterns are evolving in unprecedented ways, ‘’Social Geometrism’’ aims to explore and highlight aspects of those new spatiotemporal formations. This exhibition brings together lines, solids, surfaces and more complex polyhedral figures that present themselves as sociological models. Through the display of international Berlin-based artists, dealing with a different approach to materiality, and by their placement in a common space, a multidimensional environment emerges and confronts the viewer with new problematics that are present at our time.
