KUNSTVEREIN SCHWERTE CORRIDOR PLATEAU II
Nov 26, 2011 - Feb 25, 2012
The exhibition series of Corridor Plateau explores the threshold in the thin width of human existence. Starting with the darker forces, the remote regions, and the depth of ones own anxiety, the invited artists develop a unique kabinett of shadows, a chamber, an apartment, a plateau. And for the time of the show their collective search appears visible. Our common messenger is found in the stories of H.P. Lovecraft. With their energies and sounds, the monstrous writings are of great actuality as they conduct themselves misshapen, in a lost in civilization. Conceived by Christian Freudenberger and Markus Karstieß, directors of Kunstverein Schwerte, GER.

REPUBLIC OF THE MOON
Dec 16, 2011 - Feb 26, 2012
Imagine living on our closest celestial neighbour.... Seven international artists are declaring a Republic of the Moon in Liverpool in this new exhibition.
 
Curated by The Arts Catalyst and FACT, Republic of the Moon presents major new commissions by Agnes Meyer-Brandis and WE COLONISED THE MOON, and works by Leonid Tishkov, Andy Gracie, Liliane Lijn and Sharon Houkema.
 
Weaving together fact, imagination and storytelling, the artworks offer alternative visions of lunar life: a remote lunar habitat for mythical “moon geese”, an immersive encounter with the smell of the moon, DIY astrobiology experiments and the tale of a man who met the moon (and stayed with her for the rest of his life).
 
Who will be the first colonisers of the Moon? Perhaps it should be the artists.
