The Otolith Group: Medium Earth

For the painter and author Adam Avikainen, all of nature becomes a crime scene in an ongoing story that subsumes all the elements of his life in an extended artistic process.

The overarching exhibition of Anthropocene Observatory by Armin Linke, Territorial Agency (John Palmesino and Ann-Sofi Rönnskog), and Anselm Franke is dedicated to the analysis of spatial orders and political institutions in the history of planning, modeling, and control in the Anthropocene, and studies the relationship between new global planning scenarios in the age of climate change to politics, economics, and property relations.

With the traditional methods of knowledge acquisition – the natural sciences on the one side and the humanities on the other – mankind has reached a limit. What can we do, how can we know? With what means, methods and senses can we encounter the world of our own creation? In A Report, an extensive program of events in conclusion to the Anthropocene Project, the HKW will be exploring precisely these questions.
