Opening The Future by Joanna Grochowska
DEAD ARE ALL GODS: NOW WE DESIRE THE POST-HUMAN TO LIVE
Joanna Grochowska is a contemporary artist exploring trans-humanism and human enhancement technologies.
Her work contributes to the dialogue about morphological freedom and the future.
The conceptual basis of her art are the notions of Transgression and Singularity.
An artist defines herself as a Project.
Opening the Future constitutes an immensely powerful and sophisticated body of work, which pursues the aim of exploring new post-human figurativeness. The dominant theme addresses the subject of transgressive corporality and encompasses the contexts of future, morphological freedom and human enhancement technologies.
The logical and inevitable progress of technology evolution implies the emergence of new paradigms of gender, body and identity. The body becomes a symptom of the unnatural, edited and superior life form, posing a question of the possible shift of ethical lines and a change in definition of what is human.
Opening the Future extends the discourse of the Post Human, a visionary series of exhibitions curated by Jeffrey Deitch in 1992, which manifested the embrace of artificiality and projected the role of artists beyond redefining art; towards redefining life. The work of Joanna Grochowska integrates with the concepts of human enhancement technologies, the ideas of Elon Musk, Raymond Kurzweil and Jennifer Doudna, awarded the Nobel Prize for the development of a revolutionary genome editing method; seeking the new aesthetics of the future.
The exhibition Opening the Future is presented at the Størpunkt Gallery Munich; on view until August 7, 2021 every Thursday to Saturday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The general corona rules apply.

Roman Casus
Russian artist Roman Casus explores conflicts, politics, nudity and anonymity. Painting allows him to impart these digital phantoms with a substance.
“I observer the digital stream. The modern content delivery methods such as instant posting and live broadcasts, allow viewer to be in the epicenter of events without physical participation. I construct my own stories based on these impressions. Painting allows me to impart these digital phantoms with a substance.
Sketches for my works are assembled from digital artifacts. I produce digital manipulations with fragments of news, videos, and live broadcasts. I combine contradictory elements to deconstruct the original narrative.
While creating painting I combine figurative and abstract painting. Elements of realism make works plausible. But random deformations, cropping of forms, breaking of space, and color distortions make the interpretation almost impossible. Each fragment dissolves its meaning within the frame. Blurring one image into another, one narrative into another, one way of seeing into another. Stories behind these forms capture the unpredictability and redundancy of reality.”

Exhibition World Cities by Andrey Denisyuk
Modern video art is a video that is based on the latest technology. With 8K Super UHD resolution, the video art has huge image detailization. Dynamic range allows you to see details even in the night scene, while not losing the details of bright neon lights. The Rec.2100 color space provides the video artist with colours previously unavailable in other visual arts.
Finding artistic beauty in an urbanized landscape is what inspires Andrey Denisyuk to create his video art of the City of the World. To create this video art, Andrey traveled across three continents and continues to create cycles of these videos. Previously, Andrey's works were shown at the IFA exhibition in Germany and CES in Berlin. The color solution, bright colours, choice of shooting location, construction of the composition, experience, personal view, and creative view of the architecture of cities turn this video into a work of modern art. Being one of the first to create video art in a new resolution, Andrey is the founder of a new movement at the intersection of video art and high technology.
