NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN

In the organizer's words:

Listening Session / Workshop
Group improvisation with ANNA ZETT

The exhibition project NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN includes an immersive spatial installation and participatory formats that enable the audience to perceive their own physical and associative experience through discussion formats and improvisation.

In a research-based approach, the artist Anna Zett develops new formats and methods that involve the audience's own experience in the artistic process. Her project NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN (NEW FORUM OF NERVES ) explores emotional and sensory levels of self-organization in groups and societies. The New Forum was a grassroots democratic opposition movement that actively helped to shape the revolutionary end of the GDR. Based on Anna Zett's research in the archive of the GDR opposition, from which her film Es gibt keine Angst emerged, her work is dedicated to the physical activation of (post-)socialist experiences that were cut off from the present. Following on from this, NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN opens up the physical space for current experiences of fear and control in a polarized political situation.

Listening Session / Workshop
Group improvisation with ANNA ZETT

The exhibition project NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN includes an immersive spatial installation and participatory formats that enable the audience to perceive their own physical and associative experience through discussion formats and improvisation.

Using embodied research and experimentation, artist Anna Zett develops new formats and methods that involve the audience's own experience in the artistic process. Her project NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN explores the emotional and sensory levels of self-organization in groups and societies. The New Forum was a grassroots democratic oppositional movement that actively shaped the revolutionary end of the GDR. Based on Anna Zett's research in the archive of the GDR opposition, from which her film Afraid doesn't exist(Es gibt keine Angst) emerged, her work is dedicated to the embodied activation of (post-)socialist experiences that were cut off from the present. Continuing from this research, NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN opens up the physical space for current experiences of fear and control in a polarized political situation.
