Transart Triennale 2016, Aug 5 – 7

5 August 2016

Transart Triennale 2016 is happening at Berlin’s Uferstudios, running August 5 to August 7.

The free event and three-day programme, founded and run by artists, features exhibitions, performances, publications, screenings, workshops and seminars —as well as one-day symposium —responds to the increasingly nomadic nature of artists and artistic practice, questioning “how we live together in a global community”.

The project began in Vienna in 2003, then carried on to Los Angeles and is now in Berlin, where the theme this year is ‘The Imperceptible Self’, it will be documented in texts and contributions to be published in the third edition of ELSE – The Journal of International Art, Literature, Theory and Creative Media.

Events to look out for include:

A conversation about how “we live, work and think in the space between the no longer and the not yet” called Encounters, with Julieta Aranda and Elise Lammer, on August 5.

The Processed Beings: Intersubjectivity and Authorship group exhibition, curated by Lou Cantor and William Kherbek and running from August 5 to 6. It features the likes of Martin Kohout, Alex Turgeon and Anna Uddenberg, and includes an associated reading with Sarah M. Harrison, Felix Riemann and Tess Edmondson, plus more, on August 6.

Public readings and discussions for research and exhibition space, Halcyon, with Mehreen Murtaza among the participants, on August 5, 6 and 7.

The ‘HOW 2 DO: being other, being real‘ video screening featuring works selected by curator Gaby Cepeda and featuring work by Hannah Black among them on August 5, 6 and 7.
