15:00-16:00 ALIEN BODIES think tanks with the artists and Q&A
The exhibition is open between: 12:00-20:00
The artists will briefly talk about their works and how they resonate with the theme ALIEN BODIES. We will follow with 3 parallel think-tank sessions, each centered around a different type of alienness, and each led by two artists. These sessions will address the notion of identifying, confronting, and thereafter embracing the ‘alien’ in our lives.
Weihaw Wang & Tivon Rice: Alien Futures
A session on speculative futures and post-human realities
Alina Ozerova & Alcaeus Spyrou: Alien Forces
The geopolitical, our infrastructures and other major forces affecting our lives as a source of alienation
Natalia Papaeva & Maria Molina Peiro: The Alien Self
On isolation and alienation of the self, and on our sense of being and belonging in today’s society
