At the intersection of economically transformed area and multimedia installation in the gallery space, Nieves de la Fuente frequently employs virtual reality, browser-based experiences or augmented reality to immerse viewers of her work in historical events, surrealist scenarios or real locations of particular significance.
Her solo exhibition at the Kunstverein now conceives series of works that explore the themes of extraterrestrial mining and interplanetary communication. In doing so, she introduces a key thematic area to our TRANSHUMAN 2026 programme: the planned extraction of resources in space to support the preferred foundation of transhumanism: economic growth beyond all limits.
Following an invitation from Professur für Materialität des Wissens (the Chair of Materiality of Knowledge), artist Michael Schmid has, since 2022, been engaging extensively with the architectural, material and aesthetic conditions of various locations at the University of Göttingen. Through close collaboration with the Kunstverein, this artistic research is now culminating in a solo exhibition at the Künstlerhaus Göttingen.
The resulting photographs, objects, installation elements and sounds are set in relation to one another, thereby exploring, in a formative way, the conditions under which knowledge, images and meanings are made visible, stored and passed on. In this way, the exhibition also opens up unusual perspectives on the material nature and historical development of sites of science.
