“Konterfei”, “Counterfeit” or “Contrefait”; whether in German, English, or French, it connotes something false. Tomorrow’s pop-up exhibition (Fr 17.6.2016) will explore the tension between truth, beauty and reality, building on the theme of counterfeits from which it takes its name. The international art collective Zeitguised will present an experimental film sequence of their textile design study, created in collaboration with textile designer Nadine Goepfert. Together, they will showcase the exciting synergy between imitation and material reality. The virtual “counterfeits” were first created digitally, and then brought to reality, and these simulations aim to evoke emotions that are normally restricted to a narrative context. The evening will be documented by Lukas Gansterer and will feature a soundtrack by Andrew Claristidge – an unmissable addition. Remixes to accompany films from artists such as Superimposed Void and Yukkon, among others, will be available as a one-of-a-kind limited edition EP, with only 99 available.
