The focus of the G.A.S-station project Das DING - THING is the juxtaposition of different medial and formal approaches.
Therefore, we welcome artistic contributions of all sorts - filmlets, installations, plastic & fine arts, performances, literature, music as well as scientific contributions, presentations, lectures or accompanying texts concerning the subject.
Contributions should broach the following issues:
1. What is a thing?
Reflexions on the use of the terminology, ways of thinking, and conceptions of materiality and dinglichkeit.
Questioning the thing doesn't only initiate reflexions on the use of a terminology: what are we talking about when we talk about a thing? Is it just a common word or are some of it's conceptions more rich in content? Asking about the thing initiates reflexions about what a thing is. A concrete object or an abstract object? Something strictly individual? Just an object or even a person? What does the term thing mean to us?
2. Works in the field of tension and in the connection between object and individual, objectively and individually regarded.
These works deal with matters such as our material dependance and imprinting. They may equally ask for the manifold ways of producing or constituting things.
DAS DING – THING is our third interdisciplinary exposition after eMOTION 2008-2009 and CHAOS 2009-2010. If you're interested in the exhibition project, be it as contributing artist or in another form of cooperation, please contact us. Please don't forget to attach a brief summary of your work or a draft of your idea.
We're looking forward to receiving your suggestions and proposals!
Yours,
the G.A.S-station-Team
