BRAINS + MINDS:   FUTURA CEREBRA + MINDSCAPES
Kathryn Gohmert & Yuni Lee
Artist Talk & Performance @Ro2 Art Gallery & EIGENHEIM Weimar

The mind and brain come together through two international solo exhibitions: FUTURA CEREBRA (Future Brains) of Kathryn Gohmert at EIGENHEIM in Weimar, Germany and MINDSCAPES of Yuni Lee at RO2 Art in Dallas, Texas. Both series and artists intersect on Feb 18 at an event live streamed at both galleries: Kathryn Gohmert performs Brain Chorus live at RO2 Art (amid the breathtaking MINDSCAPES paintings of Yuni Lee) on the finissage of her solo exhibition in Weimar. Yuni Lee and Kathryn Gohmert then both discuss in a live streamed artist talk, the different paths their work takes in exploring the brain and mind, and the goals, challenges and processes of their separate practices.

BRAIN CHORUS:
The video performance Brain Chorus mimes and explores the human journey, from birth into making connection, migration and then, finally, death. We navigate our lives in near chaos, constructing codes to turn nonsense into sense, finding and losing connection, hoping then aging then dying (before starting over, reborn into something else). The value of life is brought into sharp focus in this piece in appreciating death in its periphery. Original electronic score by Bakläxa. Special thanks to Johannes Heller.

Ro2 Art Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery located in Dallas' Tin District, just West of Downtown Dallas, that represents a diverse group of emerging, mid-career, and established contemporary artists. A second location, Ro2 Art Projects, in The Cedars Neighborhood of Dallas, focuses on emerging artists, curator-led exhibitions, and an artist-in-residence. The gallery, founded in 2010 by mother-and-son partners Susan Roth Romans and Jordan Roth, regularly collaborates with organizations such as The MAC and Cedars Union, and is a proud member of CADD - Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas. Ro2 Art has twice been named Dallas Observer's “Best Art Gallery” and was presented with the 25th Annual Obelisk Award for small business by the North Texas Business Council for the Arts. The gallery’s art fair program has included the Dallas Art Fair, Texas Contemporary, and Art Aspen.

EIGENHEIM Weimar was founded as a space for contemporary art and communication in Weimar in 2006. Since 2016, with the support of the city of Weimar, EIGENHEIM Weimar has been at home in the gardener's house of the Weimarhallenpark, directly adjacent to the Bauhaus Museum. In addition to classical solo and group exhibitions, regular concerts and readings, project-related, curated thematic exhibitions are realized with the city of Weimar, the Cultural Foundation of Thuringia, the Bauhaus University Weimar, the Goethe Institute or the Kunstfest Weimar. EIGENHEIM Berlin moved into spacious premises on Linienstraße in Berlin Mitte in 2015. From 2018 to 2022, the gallery was present in Kantstraße in Charlottenburg.With the Berlin branch, the gallery expands its scope for exhibitions of its in-house artists* and the many curated thematic exhibitions with guest artists. The artists represented by EIGENHEIM Berlin work in various fields of the visual arts and convince with a varied portfolio that discusses current social issues and transports contemporary developments in the arts into the exhibition space. Bianka Voigt and Konstantin Bayer are responsible for the gallery.

seeds | hotel leipzig

this performance took place on 16 may, en route to the deutsche zentralbücherei für blinde from the leipzig hauptbahnhof.

roughly three million dandelion seeds were gathered in goethe’s park an der ilm. the seeds were relocated to a suitcase and then transported to leipzig by train. after carrying the suitcase to the entrance of the deutsche zentralbücherei für blinde [german central library for the blind], the suitcase was opened and the seeds handed out personally as ‘post’ to passing pedestrians.

as dandelion plants reportedly have medicinal properties which combat memory loss and decrease  the effects of dementia, the spreading of these seeds by way of this intimate, person-to-person method is intended to cure the repeating spells of memory loss human history continues to experience.

9 july, 2011 – august 31, 2011

opening reception: 9 july, 6 – 9 pm

what is loss, what is discovery, what is new and what is old? in the exhibition LOST AND FOUND, to be held at stage候台BACK gallery, a group of artists from around the world explore the issues of dislocation, re-discovery, transient life and re-invention of objects and ideas. these concepts bring the viewer and artwork into close collaboration within the space. following the eviction in may 2011 of around 70 artists and galleries from shanghai’s 696 weihai road studio complex, this arts diaspora has migrated to different spaces around the city. LOST AND FOUND is the first exhibition by stage候台BACK gallery in its new location of m50 district of shanghai: for this exhibition, the artwork as well as the gallery join in rediscovering and reinventing of old identities, transitioning between states of LOST AND FOUND.

什么是失去，什么是发现，什么是新鲜而什么又是陈旧。佛说,　親方貪心如水蕩，怨方瞋心似火燃; 取拾皆忘癡黑暗，拋棄故鄉佛子行。在群展‘轮回’之中，来自各国的艺术家将在stage候台BACK画廊的空间里与观众共同探寻物件，客体，构想，理念的转瞬即逝与重生的历程。在2011年5月威海路696弄艺术区被拆迁之后，70多位艺术家和画廊被迫散居到了城市的各个角落。群展轮回是stage候台BACK迁入M50新址后的第一个展览。此次展览之于艺术家们和候台画廊都是一次重新发现与塑造的历程。

“as one who in his journey breaks at noon,

”像一个行色匆匆的路人中午休息，

though bent on speed, so here the archangel paus’d

暂时停歇脚步，大天使在讲到毁了的

betwixt the world destroy’d and world restor’d

世界和恢复了的世界之间时暂作停息，

if adam aught perhaps might interpose;

看亚当是否要插话；

then with transition sweet new speech resumes.

然后高兴地转换话题，又开始讲开了：

thus thou hast seen one world begin and end;

这样，你看到了一个

and man as from a second stock proceed.

世界的开始和结束，

much thou hast yet to see, but i perceave

又从第二个始祖开始繁衍；

thy mortal sight to faile; objects divine

你还可以看到更多更多的事，

must needs impaire and wearie human sense:

但我认为你们人的视力变得越来越差了；

henceforth what is to come i will relate,

神灵有意损害并减弱人的知觉。

thou therefore give due audience, and attend.

从此，我要讲一些未来的事，

this second sours of men, while yet but few;

你必须好好听，并加以警戒。

and while the dread of judgement past remains

这人类的第二源头，人数还少，

fresh in thir mindes, fearing the deitie,

他们的心里还残留着过去审判的

with some regard to what is just and right

恐怖他们敬畏神，小心谨慎地

shall lead thir lives and multiplie apace.”

用正义引导他们过好日子.”
