From the seventh heaven to the dead stars and back – exhibition tour, screening and bar with Josch Hoenes and Nanna Lüth at Edith-Ruß-Haus für Medienkunst, Katharinenstr. 23, 26121 Oldenburg,
Admission free.
The group exhibition “Wild Sky”, which can be seen at the Edith Russ House for Media Art from May 27 – August 14, 2011, shows twelve artistic positions that deal with the depiction of the sun, the moon and other celestial bodies. They reflect the desire to fathom the sky, to measure it and to record it using technical means.
During the tour of the “Wild Sky” exhibition on July 6, Hoenes and Lüth will discuss and develop queer interpretations of the artistic works. In the search for alternative perceptions, the following questions can be asked, for example: What ideas of gender or sexuality become visible in the artistic representations? Where are social norms invoked and confirmed? Or are these representations, are these skies not so heterosexual after all?
After the tour, queer skies can be projected and enjoyed in the bar. You are welcome to bring your own found objects, images and associations (digital and analog).
