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.
