Spatial technologies allow us to re-think the process of drawing, blurring the boundaries between line and space. After a series of drawing sessions in the ethnological museum, speculative future objects were drawn from the experience of engaging with mixed reality tools. In this event, VR allows viewers to walk though the spatial drawings and engage with the works differently. After the VR experience there will be a conversation with Bar Esh, Quang Vinh Giang, Inyeong Song, Jelisa Weber (student artists) and Elaine Bonavia, leading the course on spatial drawing.

„Mingled Living Forces“ is a contemporary art intervention into the exhibition Exhibiting.Omissions. at the Humboldt Forum presenting new works by students of the weißensee school of art and design. How to reflect artistically on the evidence of colonial violence? How to intervene in an ethnological museum while the restitution of looted material culture takes place? How to draw speculative futures? Engaging with these questions, new artworks in a variety of media and formats including performance, installation, print, sculpture, painting, video and VR find their way into the ethnological museum.
The intervention exhibition was developed in the context of the tandem seminars Colonial Presents: Artistic and Curatorial Interrogating led by Juana Awad and Zeichnen Farbe Fläche – Spatial Drawing led by Elaine Bonavia at the weißensee school of art and design berlin during the winter semester 22 /23 and summer semester 23.
