PAKUI HARDWARE
EXTRAKORPORAL
NOVEMBER 17, 2018 – FEBRUARY 24, 2019
OPENING: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 7 PM

Pakui Hardware is interested in the close relationship between materiality, technology and economies. Central to their work is the question as to how far technology actually does alter economics and our physical perception of reality. They investigate questions of automation, robotics, synthetic biology and the significance of new materials. The artist duo produces sculptures and installations suffused with various materials, images, and shapes, which are often reminiscent of futuristic or biological settings. Here, fabric and material produced by technology encounter transparent, ephemeral materials; they determine the equally organic and synthetic appearance of their objects and spatial installations.

To mark the exhibition, a 24-page brochure will be published (German/English) with texts by Thomas Thiel.
