We are excited to invite you to the 3rd edition of our Modern Body Laboratory <\/strong>series, taking place on Saturday November 27, 2021!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This edition is a performative exhibition exploring the theme PORTALS.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curatorial Statement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For more than a year we have been balancing on a threshold, at the precipice of something we cannot quite grasp, bracing ourselves to cross to some other side<\/em>.
We have a looming, collective sense of exiting the known and heading somewhere else; maybe this will be a radically different world, or maybe it will be exactly the same; maybe it will be a world with sweeping changes or one with small differences that barely matter; a step towards utopia or a plunge into dystopia.
As we find ourselves crossing through this portal, we take a moment to hover in the nebulous spaces it offers, to gaze into some of the darkest voids and brightest rays of what is possible, to look into the past, the present, and the future, into realities and hypotheses, into lived experiences, empathic sensations, and thought experiments.
For this third Modern Body Laboratory edition we present four works that act as portals, transporting us to spaces, situations and vantage points that offer new perspectives, new visions, and new experiences, enabling us to reflect on the inertial forces of this collective hyperbody we all inhabit together – what we call <\/em>humankind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Marko Ciciliani<\/em>‘s durational Rave S\u00c9ANCE<\/a><\/strong> is a pseudo-occult ritual that invokes the ‘dark magic’ of Artificial Intelligence to rediscover the spirit of the rave, <\/em>a trance-inducing gathering we have lately been deprived of.<\/li>
  • Future Voices \/ Zukunftsmusik<\/a><\/strong> by the Society for Nontrivial Pursuits <\/em>extends an invitation to think together about the world to come, opening a portal into our collective imagination about the future, and engaging with our thoughts, fears, and hopes. For this event we invite Ji Youn Kang<\/em> to take the helm in a special ‘takeover’, actively sculpting this journey as a durational performative installation.<\/li>
  • Mar\u00eda Molina Peir\u00f3<\/em>‘s The Sasha<\/a><\/strong> is a film that explores our human desire to extend the borders of our known world, and how we use technology to share life-changing experiences – like walking on the surface of the Moon and seeing the Earth from outer space.<\/li>
  • An Absurdist Archive of Isolation: a full-body workout radio play<\/strong> <\/a>by Bridge Fiske \/ Joseph Lau \/ Stelios Manousakis \/ Stephanie Pan<\/em> is a participatory radio play that opens a gateway in your own home, guiding you through a transformative reimagining of your relationship to space and time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
