About us
arttransponder provides a platform for discussions and exchange focussing on interdisciplinary, site specific, participatory and temporary art practices.
Our emphasis is on art which integrates the complexity of production, presentation and reception, as well as locates itself within and links to current discourses and theory.
Intention is, to broaden definitions and parameters of art production and its operating system and challenge common modes of practice and presentation. Therefore we maintain an active exchange with international artists, initiatives, scientists and theoreticians.
arttransponder organizes art exhibitions and projects, workshops, screenings, lectures, talks and panel discussions on the interface to architecture, science, natural science, theory and politics. Our events take place decentred and central.
Additionally we are working on expanding a reference library.
Founded in 2004 as artist collective, arttransponder operates since 2005 as a non profit organization.
arttransponder initialises and supports
- international art exhibitions, art projects and artist presentations with focus on experimental, interdisciplinary and cultural research
- projects and discussions with and between artists who integrate contextual reflections into the work, are working in the public space or produce work in the public realm
- the research of art practices being in direct relationship with theory
- participatory art projects within different social contexts
- the development of projects for art mediation that involve innovative methods beyond monological tours, involving the aspiration to evolve individual artistic positions
- active exchange with theoreticians, scientists, scholars and other interested persons whose contributions are of interest to contextual art practices
- the creation of a network and the development of an opportunity for exchange between artists and art initiatives
- active exchange with national and international institutions supporting the purpose of the organization or pursuing similar goals
- publications reflecting the work and projects
arttransponder is also initialising a network between the non profit art spaces of Berlin. Working title of this project is „Chances of Crisis“. arttransponder initiated this ongoing project, to look at the topic - through workshops and discussions - from a perspective of the possibilities and potentials and to allow - according to initial inventories - exchange and networking between artists and creative and non-profit project areas with the aim of finding new forms of cooperation and to create political articulation.
After a two day round table last year, in 2010 began a series of public meetings of non-profit project spaces and initiatives, to show the respective host's concepts, operation forms and its places and afterwards to focus on a central theme by the discussion, a round table or the workshop.
