BRAINS + MINDS: FUTURA CEREBRA + MINDSCAPES
Kathryn Gohmert & Yuni Lee
Artist Talk & Performance @Ro2 Art Gallery & EIGENHEIM Weimar
The mind and brain come together through two international solo exhibitions: FUTURA CEREBRA (Future Brains) of Kathryn Gohmert at EIGENHEIM in Weimar, Germany and MINDSCAPES of Yuni Lee at RO2 Art in Dallas, Texas. Both series and artists intersect on Feb 18 at an event live streamed at both galleries: Kathryn Gohmert performs Brain Chorus live at RO2 Art (amid the breathtaking MINDSCAPES paintings of Yuni Lee) on the finissage of her solo exhibition in Weimar. Yuni Lee and Kathryn Gohmert then both discuss in a live streamed artist talk, the different paths their work takes in exploring the brain and mind, and the goals, challenges and processes of their separate practices.
BRAIN CHORUS:
The video performance Brain Chorus mimes and explores the human journey, from birth into making connection, migration and then, finally, death. We navigate our lives in near chaos, constructing codes to turn nonsense into sense, finding and losing connection, hoping then aging then dying (before starting over, reborn into something else). The value of life is brought into sharp focus in this piece in appreciating death in its periphery. Original electronic score by Bakläxa. Special thanks to Johannes Heller.
Ro2 Art Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery located in Dallas' Tin District, just West of Downtown Dallas, that represents a diverse group of emerging, mid-career, and established contemporary artists. A second location, Ro2 Art Projects, in The Cedars Neighborhood of Dallas, focuses on emerging artists, curator-led exhibitions, and an artist-in-residence. The gallery, founded in 2010 by mother-and-son partners Susan Roth Romans and Jordan Roth, regularly collaborates with organizations such as The MAC and Cedars Union, and is a proud member of CADD - Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas. Ro2 Art has twice been named Dallas Observer's “Best Art Gallery” and was presented with the 25th Annual Obelisk Award for small business by the North Texas Business Council for the Arts. The gallery’s art fair program has included the Dallas Art Fair, Texas Contemporary, and Art Aspen.
EIGENHEIM Weimar was founded as a space for contemporary art and communication in Weimar in 2006. Since 2016, with the support of the city of Weimar, EIGENHEIM Weimar has been at home in the gardener's house of the Weimarhallenpark, directly adjacent to the Bauhaus Museum. In addition to classical solo and group exhibitions, regular concerts and readings, project-related, curated thematic exhibitions are realized with the city of Weimar, the Cultural Foundation of Thuringia, the Bauhaus University Weimar, the Goethe Institute or the Kunstfest Weimar. EIGENHEIM Berlin moved into spacious premises on Linienstraße in Berlin Mitte in 2015. From 2018 to 2022, the gallery was present in Kantstraße in Charlottenburg.With the Berlin branch, the gallery expands its scope for exhibitions of its in-house artists* and the many curated thematic exhibitions with guest artists. The artists represented by EIGENHEIM Berlin work in various fields of the visual arts and convince with a varied portfolio that discusses current social issues and transports contemporary developments in the arts into the exhibition space. Bianka Voigt and Konstantin Bayer are responsible for the gallery.
