What images does research itself produce? How can images, in both an artistic and documentary sense, themselves become tools of research? As if the images themselves could observe, analyze, comment or measure.
A project that brings together 16 new artistic works that deal with research in museums as an aesthetic practice. Artists from the
@expanded_cinema @hgbleipzig class at the HGB Leipzig met with numerous museum stakeholders over the course of a year: conservators, electricians, scientific staff, directors, X-ray technicians and provenance researchers from the SKD. Among other articulations, video installations, textiles, an imagined computer game, transformed angels, AI-generated porcelain and an interview with a pistol were created and exhibited.
In reference to Antje Ehmann and Harun Farocki’s “Labour in a Single Shot”, one could also say that 16 “Takes on Research” have emerged. Images that not only document, but also have a researching effect. Observing, organizing, interpreting, they recognize the museum as a place of knowledge and history production.
