have a cold drink while looking at the exhibition »Blurry Gazes« by Anna
Boldt & Mathias Weinfurter we are open from 8-11 pm on the last Thursday
before closing.
TALK & WALK with Naomi Rado
28.5.2023, 3 pm
Visit us on the Sunday before closing for a talk on hostile
architectures, borders, and chains in public space, after which Synnika
member Naomi Rado will guide a curatorial walk through the exhibition.
Get insights on how repressive infrastructures correlate to the current
exhibition »Blurry Gazes« by Anna Boldt & Mathias Weinfurter, and
Weinfurter's sculptural works as such. The talk will focus on the work
series »P.P.« featured in Weinfurter's recent publication ARCHIVE I, as
well as on examples of hostile architectures in public spaces.
Afterwards Naomi Rado will give background information about Synnika's
program theme for 2023 »BEYOND BARRACKS« and the work body shown in the
current exhibition »Blurry Gazes«.
CLOSING // FINISSAGE »BLURRY GAZES«
29.5.2023, 3 pm
The current exhibition »Blurry Gazes« by Anna Boldt & Mathias Weinfurter
comes to an end. Visit us for a last time on Monday, 29th of May,
opening at 3 pm. The artists will be present, and happy to answer
questions about their work.
»Blurry Gazes« follows the interdisciplinary research work of @anna &
@mathias, which the duo began in Colombia under the title "Miradas
Borrosas" in 2019 and continued in the context of their residency at the
NIROX Foundation (2022-23) in the Republic of South Africa. The central
exploration of the artistic research addresses questions of private and
public space, functions and mechanisms of security architectures, and
examines their relationship to social structures that produce poverty
and exploitation under the sign of capitalism. Like through a magnifier,
Blurry Gazes thus functions as a mediator that not only focuses on
individual lived realities, but aims at global comparability.
