Group Exhibit at the Henry Art Gallery
Goethe Pop Up Seattle is proud to foster German-American friendship by supporting the group exhibition Between Bodies featuring German-speaking artists Susanne Winterling and Ursula Biemann as well as the works of aspiring U.S.-American artists.
Sensory and affective explorations are central to the artworks in this exhibition, calling attention to the limits of quantified data and the compartmentalizing structures of Western scientific study. Participating artists include Caitlin Berrigan (U.S.), Ursula Biemann (Switzerland), micha cárdenas and Abraham Avnisan (U.S.), Carolina Caycedo (U.S.), Candice Lin and Patrick Staff (U.S. and England) and Susanne Winterling (Germany).
Winterling’s polyphonic video and sound-based installation
Glistening Troubles at the Henry is an immersive experience that invites the viewer to reflect on interspecies relationships and solidarity in changing ecological and technological contexts. It explores the ecology of bioluminescent, single-cell organisms in the waters of Glistening Bay, Jamaica. The creatures light up when agitated, indicting the health of the water and its toxic potential. Winterling also remains focused on historical feminist practices and the commons.
Berlin-based artist Susanne Winterling studied philosophy and art history in Tübingen and London and visual arts in Braunschweig and Hamburg. From 2011 to 2015, she was a Professor of Contemporary Art at the National Academy of Arts in Oslo. She has been a Professor of Sculpture at Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach since October 2015. Recently, Winterling opened solo exhibitions at HOK Oslo and Kunstverein Freiburg (both 2017), Barbara Weiss Galerie, Berlin (2016), and The Cologne Room, Los Angeles (2015). She works across a range of media to explore the relationship between technical media and human subjectivity. Her recent practice reflects upon political as well as aesthetic solidarity among human and animal species in today’s challenging geopolitical context.
