In collaboration with
the Helmholtz Center for Cultural Techniques of the Humboldt University:

HER WAYS AND MEANS – FEMALE PROTAGONISTS IN THE ARTS AND
SCIENCE CONTEXTS

In March 2017, SATELLITE BERLIN - Art in collaboration started the talk series HER WAYS AND MEANS – FEMALE PROTAGONISTS IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCE CONTEXTS. We are happy to announce that the series continues in 2018 cooperating with the Humboldt University Berlin. The Helmholtz Center for Cultural Techniques together with SATELLITE BERLI N will plan and invite the guest speakers. TA T’s curator Felix Sattler and his team will concentrate on the selection of speakers from scientific areas and SATELLITE BERLIN on the artists.

HER WAYS AND MEANS – FEMALE PROTAGONISTS IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCE CONTEXTS presents major female artists in conversation with scientists, writers, and curators. All of them are known to be extraordinary creative workers and have at some stage in their career moved into the crossover-zone between the arts and science, both, independently and in collaborative projects with individual scientists or institutions. Their results and practices have been widely acclaimed by the art world and scientific community alike. We will use the historic auditorium (TA T) as a public place of contact and dialogue.

Being driven by questions such as “what is real?”, “how do structures and forces empower thought?”, “what is it that changes the perception of our world?” our guests` work addresses the wealth of topics and experience inherent in any interdisciplinary approach.

The artists will share with us stories of the actual process of making. They talk about what it was that first drove them to investigate the sciences and natural phenomena. How they went about contacting established scientific institutions, high-end researchers, and communities. What obstacles and prejudices they encountered, if any. Did scientific procedures affected their methods and thinking. Or was their collaboration with researchers and institutions smooth or choppy, a success or a failure? How did they steer through the various stages of intensity resulting from either a clashing or coinciding of visions?

The scientists share with us their experiences and the knowledge they gained in interacting with art and artists. How did the contacts come about and how were the meetings and conversations? Were they able to influence the work oft he artist and did they receive certain ideas from the artists? How did their work method change or their assessment of research?

Whatever may have been the case, the artists’ urge to overcome genre barriers and to translate their questions and intuitions into something productive required a similar amount of research, expertise, daring and curiosity to that of the classic researcher.
