Lecture by Philip Ursprung
Design of the In/human: Absalon and the Spaces of Depression
What makes Absalon and his work so current almost 20 years after his death?
Do Absalon’s highly stylized dwellings mirror the isolation of the subjects, the pressure of competition and the anxiety at the possibility of being excluded?
Or, could we consider them to be models, showing us that everyone has the possibilty to change society.

Ends 25.02.2011
A striking difference of the Polly Pocket Museum of Modern Art in comparison to other museums focusing on contemporary art, is based to the fact that the rooms of PP MoMA, due to their small size (12 x 12 x 8 cm), can not be physically visited by viewers of the species Homo
Sapiens. The PP MoMA in this regard sees itself in the tradition of different entities like Herbert Distels Schubladenmuseum [1] and Marcel
Duchamps Boîte en valise [2], without denying a certain affinity to doll houses and Polly Pocket worlds.
Using the mobility of the museum's rooms, the curatorship mails them to selected artists in order for them to create a permanent exhibition in
their room. After reshipment, Polly Pocket [3] is added as a visitor of the museum to the modified rooms. The ca. 2.2 cm sized figures create an additional scaling factor of the rooms [4], as well as of the displayed art works.

The jokers, the jester, the fool and the clown, are well-known for expressing points of view outside the norms of an established system. Being a mirror of a society and its members, enacting the unreasonable and performing the tragicomedy of life, they have always held a place beyond good and bad, right and wrong. Continuously shifting perspectives, they were able to put on each man’s mask and make all of them their own.
Berlin
Ends 28.02.2011
But the greatest joke was played on the jokers: even if these exercises involved a great deal of knowledge and despite the relevance of their critics, they actually reinforced the border that kept them in the realm of foolery and their audience in the realm of reason. Their wit was taken seriously when it was convenient to do so, but they were nothing more than plain fools whenever they came up with disturbing ideas.
The jester lost his job and the fool is no longer touched by god but the jokers are still around. And from where they stand, they have a full view over a labyrinth of illusions and moveable walls, seemingly open to include countless points of view and more and more mirrored rooms. I’ve done no more than turning the mirror on the jokers. And I would like to invite you to reflect upon their images and wander inside their mazes.
