INVITATION

    
Christoph brBreuerbrClaire Obscur
Exhibition Opening, 16 May 2018, 18:00

Christoph
Breuer
Claire Obscur

Christoph Breuer transposes chiaroscuro into the realm of colour, focussing on bright subjects in a muted field. Everyday objects such as pills, knives and gloves become unsettling in settings that are far from everyday. Human figures unfold a strange presence, even though their heads are covered with a scarf or motorcycle helmet.

Christoph Breuer studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Alfonso Hüppi and has lived in Berlin since 1999. He has spent time in Italy on a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service and at Etaneno in Namibia.

The exhibition will be on display from
16 May – 12 June 2018 in the ICI Library.

ICI Berlin, curated by Claudia Peppel

Media Anachronism

Media landscapes are far from being homogeneous. Media diverge not only because they perform diverse functions and elicit different practices, but also because they recall distinct stages in the media history. We deal with a number of “obsolete” media that nevertheless we still find useful and friendly—and whose ultimate destiny will be either to be discharged in a dump, or to be located in a museum. But how does the past speak to the present? The talk will challenge the idea of memory and illustrate its role in our cultural practices.

Fixation

The talk will examine how ‘fixation’ is associated with some of the most inventive and enigmatic moments in Freud’s accounts of the body, sexuality, and time. In one of Freud’s earliest clinical publications from the late 1880s, the term ‘fixation’ marks the moment where psychoanalysis veers off from psychiatry. Confronted with the paradoxical phenomenon of a woman whose speech is subjected to the mysterious force of what he calls ‘counter-will’, Freud begins to lay down the basic building blocks out of which he will go on to construct the architecture of psychic organization.

Conference, 13 - 15 Jun 2018

Ästhetische Eigenzeiten
heute

Just now? As part of the research programme ‘Aesthetic Temporalities: Time and Representation in Polychronic Modernity’, the annual conference of the DFG Priority Programme ‘Aesthetic Temporalities Today: Present, Presentness, Presentation’ seeks to raise the question of ‘the present’. The conference will focus on the ‘contemporary’ of art, global spaces of the present, and on aesthetic problems of presentness and presentation.

Organized by Michael Bies, Michael Gamper, Gabriele Genge, Ludger Schwarte

On and On and On

Serial killing is an extremely rare form of homicide that is nonetheless culturally ubiquitous. Much of what makes it so resonant is the very naming of it ‘serial’. The seriality of serial killing – the temporal form of narratives of multiple murder – touches on perceptions about the organization of time in modern culture and the fears and also pleasures it affords.
