Talk | Nostalgia for the New


Currently, nostalgia is an omnipresent phenomenon. This goes for popular culture, where retro aesthetics have turned into a dominant mode of design, as much as for political decision making processes which – like parts of the race for the U.S. American presidency or the BREXIT – are driven by ‘longings for a time that never was.’ Yet how does nostalgia work? Why does it sell? And what do we actually talk about when we talk about nostalgia? In her talk, Sabine Sielke explores the complex cultural work nostalgia manages to accomplish in times of (supposed) acceleration and multiply motivated cultural anxieties. Nostalgia, she argues, is not so much a psychological disposition or a characteristic of certain objects, but a phenomenon of modernism and modernization inextricably entwined with the rise of technologies of reproduction.

Performance | 8000m - human relationship in extreme situation


8000m, by David Greig, takes us to the Himalayas, where an exhibition team attempts to summit Lhotse, the fourth highest peak in the world. As climbers undertake the Lhotse face, relationships fragment, shift, and cascade – just like the mountain surrounding them. What is the ultimate cost into this ‘Death Zone?’
