Aram Bartholl: "REMINDER! - Package Ready for Pickup"

"REMINDER! - Package Ready for Pickup" is a solo exhibition by the artist Aram Bartholl in the nave of the Kunsthalle Osnabrück. 

Aram Bartholl is one of the pioneers in Germany who artistically deals with socially relevant conflicts of digitality and automation. Originally coming from architecture, he uses his performative interventions, sculptures and workshops to question our current media behaviour as well as the public spheres linked to social networks, online platforms or digital dissemination strategies. He puts socially relevant topics such as surveillance, data security, cyber war or technology dependency up for discussion by transferring the gaps, contradictions or absurdities of our digital everyday life into spatial settings.

For Kunsthalle Osnabrück, artist Aram Bartholl will transform the church space into a sensually imposing, functional as well as metaphorical installation that invites us to reflect on the consequences and future perspectives of our daily consumption of media and goods. In a walk-through parcours made of electronic waste, critical questions will be asked about our responsibility for our handling of energy resources, raw materials and labour rights in the digital society within the framework of diverse mediation offers.
