Curation of SUB ZERO Exhibition
09.01.24

As part of the PACE Festival and Xenorama, we organised and curated the media art exhibition SUB ZERO at Waschhaus Arena Potsdam from 21st – 22nd Dec 2023. Eight art installations illuminate the fragility, beauty and mediality of frozen formations and structures. The exhibition presents works by artists who challenge our imagination and provide insights into the deep global interconnections of the frozen world. Through interactive, walk-in works of art and generative media formats, the exhibition traces the complex levels of meaning of ice, glaciers and arctic cold. Inspired by the silence of winter and the tectonic sounds of the glaciers, “Sub-Zero” invites you to pause and linger. The immersive experience is a tribute to transience, a call to appreciation and at the same time a celebration of the sublime beauty that lies in fragility.

Participating Artists:

  • Mikos Meininger: “Die Kathedrale” – der große Wirbel
  • Jenny Alten: wh/te out
  • Katharina Kleinhans: SurFace
  • Lucas Wolfram: Ein Traum
  • Tim Georg Heinze: Geheimnismutation
  • Udo Koloska: coincidence
  • Xenorama: GLACIAL MEMORIES
  • Xenorama/AWI: AUFBRUCH

Performances:

  • Schaltgeraete Studios
  • OXYMORON Dance Company (Xenia Argyri)
