The Way of the Novel @ Oracle Berlin, May 27 – Jun 20

27 May 2015
news

Oracle brings a new group exhibition to its Berlin space, titled The Way of the Novel and opening tonight, May 27.

The premise of the show takes root in the changes brought into being by the invention of Romanticism at the end of the 18th century, and the idealized notion of the impoverished, misunderstood genius working in solitary and eternal glory.

“Today,” The Way of the Novel writes, “this trick doesn’t work anymore, now the carrot goes by the name of artistic entrepreneurship.” In other words, whereas to be unappreciated was once a sign of authenticity and a kind of moral artistic success, nowadays only success is a sign of success. Inviting a handful of artists—including Thomas Jeppe, Flora Klein, vocaloid avatar Hatsune Miku, and Agatha Valkyrie Ice—The Way of the Novel comprises various perspectives on the possibilities of this evolution.

news

Artist Amitai Romm is bringing a new solo show titled Exfoliation to Berlin’s V4ULT, where it will open on January 22.

This show release comes accompanied by this abstract text: “So you made a bargain with that ferryman who transports substances and signs – he who deals in constant twilight: turning digits into plans, transposing networks onto contexts, grafting tissue, splicing slips of the tongue. A dissolving agent, forger, liar, patron of travellers – what better place to lay your trust?”

During the show’s opening will be an ‘INTERVENTION’ featuring Agatha Valkyrie Ice performing with Dorota Gaweda, Egle Kulbokaite, Zuzanna Ratajczyk, and Claire Tolan. The performance comes as part of V4ULT’s second episode, running between December 2014 and March 2015, and consisting of three solo shows, one group show, and two time-based interventions, created in collaboration with other artists, inserted into each exhibitions.
