In Reading Exercises for Political Desires, Sergio Zevallos activates his Scores for Political Desires (2025) together with Maricarmen Gutiérrez and Raras Umaratih. The starting point are transcriptions of political speeches and media statements on war, territorial occupation and cultural and economic dominance, which the artist rearranges word for word.
In the style of a public speech, Ania Nowak examines in To the Aching Parts! (Manifesto) (2019) is critical of language used by and against queer communities.
İpek Burçak transforms one of her homemade server cabinets into a stage for a puppet theater performance in collaboration with Maru Mushtrieva. Servereserveserverse is a virtual house inhabited by various LLMs that offer health advice. In the intimacy of this private space (for LLMs only), they reveal the secrets of their models’ architecture, the hyper-personalized collection of patient data, and the external threats to their systems.
At the same time, the residents of Künstlerhaus Bethanien will provide insights into their studios and work processes as part of the Open Studios.
