25 April 2024, 19:00 FIGURES OF CONTINGENCY Based on images, materials and examples of his work artist and performer Nikolaus Gansterer will introduce in this artist talk into his on-going practice of notation and practices of translation. Gansterer understands the processes of thinking and drawing as analogous. He is thus concerned with the fundamental question of how to translate processes of thought both conscious and subconscious, and explores how the act of drawing can become a tool of communication. In order to approach the materiality of perception Gansterer applies a unique performative grammar, in which the artist’s flow of observations in relation to his environment manifest as captivating live drawings, diagrams and spatial assemblages. He questions how these situative constructions of meaning could be expanded towards a radical sympoiesis: where a line of thought becomes a line on paper, turns into a line in space, and then again a line articulated with the whole body or transforms into an expanded object. In collaboration with Oslo National Academy of the Arts and in nexus to Gansterers workshop Figuring Notions of Notation 22 April - 26 April. Artist talk at PRAXIS Oslo, Vestre Elvebakke 10, 0182 Oslo, Norway.
