15 „Sonne“-Sonnenzimmer-Ideen für die Nebensaison

15 „Sonne“-Sonnenzimmer-Ideen für die Nebensaison

Wenn ich an Wintergärten denke, stelle ich normalerweise einen Raum vor, in dem die Grenze zwischen Innen und Außen verwischt, wenn nicht gar nicht vorhanden ist, und in dem der reine Genuss der Aussicht auf die Natur ein Highlight ist. In meiner Vorstellung ist der Wintergarten hell, hell und fröhlich mit vielen Frühlings- und Sommerblumen. Tatsache ist jedoch, dass Wintergärten im Herbst und…

I’m Not Trying to Change Anything, I’m Just Changing—Sonnenzimmer x AppleButter Animated

Painting robot p_a_i_r by AppleButter Animated & Sonnenzimmer 2019

28 September 2019 — 3 November 2019

Our collective ideologies are always one step behind our impulses. We fear the changing world, but we embrace material innovations, oftentimes unaware of their implications. Our actions are recorded and commanded through various layers of labor: from human gesture to robotic movements. Our impulses end up as part of a greater process, one we don’t fully grasp yet. In the exhibition “I’m Not Trying to Change Anything, I’m Just Changing”, we explore this conundrum through a series of graphic works, animation, and objects.

These works visit the crossways between gesture and intention and aim to collapse the space between seeing and feeling to encourage a shift in perspective.

Artist Bios

AppleButter Animated

AppleButter Animated are Megan Jedrysiak and Jackson Ammenheuser — a Chicago based animation duo. Since 2014, they have been making experimental shorts and commissioned animations together as AppleButter Animated. Their experimental film work has screened in the United States and internationally. Their creative practice delves into expanding the perception of animated media by experimenting with production practices, scale, and authorship. Their creative process is rooted in subconscious play versus conscious editing, thriftiness, and collaboration. Jackson and Megan expand their efforts in graphic and motion process by taking elements of digital animation (graphics, motion, sound, automation) and presenting them in physical space. https://www.applebutteranimated.com/

Sonnenzimmer

Sonnenzimmer is the collective practice of artists Nick Butcher and Nadine Nakanishi. They opened their print shop in 2006, so they could screen print with as many colors as they felt compelled to use in order to investigate the pictorial plane through improvisation and experimentation. After producing an estimated 57,000 printed works by hand (as of 2019), and exploring this in a decades-worth of exhibits and performances, they have come to the conclusion that the graphic impulse is the cornerstone to understanding our times. These thoughts have been formulated in their publications such as Graphic Arts Future (2015), Graphic Arts Future: Corporeal Knowledge (2017),  Shape Song (2018), and I’m Not Changing Anything, I’m Just Changing (2019); and have been exhibited at Hatch Show Print in Nashville, Shape Song (2018); at the Arts Club of Chicago, Sonnenzimmer: Graphic Timeline (2016); at Kunsthalle Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Greige Fabrik (2016); University Galleries in San Marcos Texas, The Past Is A Stranger, The Future is a Guest (2015); as well as performed at Yale School of Art, Print Catalyst (2018); Aalto, Helsinki, Graphic Arts Future (2017); the Arts Club of Chicago, Enactment (2015); the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Dubbing Stills (2015). Sonnenzimmer feels strongly that the graphic thread generated by humans or non-humans will be center stone to de-siloing the arts and thus reshaping humanity. This understanding might help us re-sculpt our relationships to one another and our environment. They ask of you, will you be ready to be “Wind, River, and Eraser” all at once? https://www.sonnenzimmer.com/
