Art, time, performance, space, and hybridity.
Art, sience, time, performance, space, and hybridity are crucial elements in the realm of contemporary art. Artists often draw inspiration from various sources, appropriating existing concepts, images, or objects and transforming them into something new and thought-provoking. Time plays a significant role as artists explore the temporal aspect of their work, whether it be through the use of time-based mediums, such as video or performance art, or by capturing a specific moment in history. Performance art allows artists to engage with their audience in a unique way, blurring the boundaries between performer and viewer. The concept of space is also explored, as artists consider the physical and conceptual dimensions of the environments in which their work is presented. Lastly, hybridity emerges as artists combine different artistic disciplines, cultural influences, or mediums to create innovative and diverse artworks. These elements intertwine and shape the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art.
Pi - π presents will showcase once a year Art Projects at the intersection of art, science, architecture, and performance. We are interested in developing noncommercial projects that address contemporary issues.
Raphael Lyon, Black Hole
฿l^¢к βθж - ฿l^¢к Ħσl£ ist eine Installation mit neuen Skulpturen von Raphael Lyon. Mit dieser Ausstellung erforscht Lyon die kryptischen Parallelen zwischen generativer künstlicher Intelligenz und der Entstehung von Leben aus Nichtleben. Durch den Einsatz von elektrochemischer Abscheidung, intensiver Hitze, kontrollierter Elektrizität und anderen wissenschaftlichen Methoden hat Lyon eine ortsspezifische Installation geschaffen, die eine Vielzahl von halborganischen Kompositionen, rekombinanten Skulpturen und sich entwickelnden Wandteppichen beherbergt.
Das dunkle Innere der Ausstellung, die minimale Beleuchtung und die labyrinthischen Qualitäten spielen auf die paläolithische Höhlenkunst an und stellen das Kunst schaffen und die Poesie im Allgemeinen in ein Kontinuum mit geologischem Druck. Seine verfremdenden Aspekte erinnern uns an unsere gemeinsamen, entstehenden und unleserlichen Ursprünge.
Durch die Betonung von Kräften statt von Absichten und die Gegenüberstellung des Belebten mit dem Unbelebten schafft Lyon einen Raum, in dem die Rolle der Kunst und des technologischen Fortschritts als gemeinsame Facetten dauerhafter natürlicher Prozesse betrachtet werden können: resistent gegen traditionelle Methoden der verkenntnistheoretischen Untersuchung, von Natur aus komplex, numinos, fantastisch und okkult.

The Center For Planetary Self Defense
Presents:
DAVOS ORGONE DEVICE
The exhibition coming up on the 6th of September 2024 at Pi - π documents how the Center For Planetary Self Defense (artist duo Mathias Kessler and Jakob S. Boeskov) traveled to the Jakobshorn in January 2024 to install an art homage to Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich in the mountains above the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
To create the project, the artist transported all art materials by ski. The artists created the project from a base in a mountain hut at an altitude of 1800 meters, accessible only by ski lift. Visitors to the exhibition will see artifacts from the art expedition, as well as video, photographic, and detailed drawings chronicling the expedition and documentation. We're excited to show a humorous and novel project that celebrates the power of new thinking.
Visitors to the exhibition will see drawings, expedition outfits, photos, and the Orgon Device sculpture, which the artists installed in the snow-covered mountains during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The show will also feature a short video documenting the performance.
Wilhelm Reich, author of “The Mass Psychology of Fascism,” was an Austrian psychoanalyst, inventor, and author of several books, including The Mass Psychology of Fascism. He escaped Austria in 1939 and later lived in Denmark, Norway, and finally Maine, USA. He died in jail in the USA in 1957.

Bio Jakob Boeskov:
Jakob S. Boeskov, is an artist based in New York City. His diverse practice spans drawings, 3D printing, text, music, paintings, sculptures, and videos. Boeskov's work has been shown at the New Museum, Frankfurter Kunstverein, Stedelijk Museum, and the Danish National Gallery.
Bio Mathias Kessler:
Mathias Kessler, is a New York-based artist who critiques and reimagines the concept of nature. Quoting from art history, philosophy and eco-political debates, Kessler re-stages representations of natural processes. Romantic painting, land art and digital renderings compete and collide in order to unhinge familiar oppositions such as nature and culture, representation and experience, and ideology and aesthetics. Kessler’s contribution to current utopian and dystopian debates is at once intelligent, grave, comic and visually stunning.
