Description
Additional Info.

What can fluvial systems and glaciers tell us about climate change? What is at stake in terms of how we experience, understand and value water systems? And how can we measure the human impact on these complex water networks?With the exhibition "Melting Mountains", Berlin artist Theresa Schubert invites visitors to develop a new sensitivity for the connection between art and science. The three works on display are dedicated to what is probably the most pressing problem of our time: climate change and the associated melting of glaciers. Theresa Schubert offers visitors unique ways to become aware of the impressive and at the same time frightening changes in nature.The three works can now be visited for the first time with an extended supporting program as a complete "Glacier Trilogy" in the MEINBLAU project space in Berlin.Melting Mountains is funded by Bezirksamt Pankow of Berlin, Dep. Art and Culture. The artwork was created as part of a STARTS4Water residency funded by the European Commission.Exhibition: 12 April to 05 May 2024 | Thu-Sun, 2-7pm EVENTSSaturday, April 27 | 5:00 - 6:00 p.m.Lecture and talk with art historian and curator Ingeborg ReichleDuring Gallery Weekend Berlin, artist Theresa Schubert will talk to renowned art historian and curator of contemporary art, Ingeborg Reichle (Research Institute for Sustainability Helmholtz Center Potsdam).As a specialist in modern and contemporary art, with a particular interest in the connection between art, science and ecology, she will expand the context of the exhibition "Melting Mountains".Sunday, May 05 | 17:00 - 18:30Finissage: In conversation with Tobias Sauter, Adnan & Nina SoftićTheresa Schubert welcomes three discussion partners to the finissage on May 5: Professor Dr. Tobias Sauter, geologist at the Humboldt University of Berlin and expert in glacier research, will provide an in-depth insight into the scientific background.The artist duo Adnan & Nina Softić developed the musical instrument "Klimaton" in 2020, which converts the research data of an Arctic expedition into sound.

After completing her doctorate in media art at the Bauhaus University Weimar, she combines audiovisual and biological media in her artistic practice to create conceptual and immersive installations and performances. In doing so, she repeatedly touches on the boundaries between science and art. Her works move in an aesthetic sphere between alchemy and science fiction and challenge anthropocentrism while enabling alternative visions and new sensory experiences.Further information can be found at: www.theresaschubert.com, www.meltingmountains.de
