+++++++ Art Laboratory Berlin welcomes you to our current series Permeable Bodies with artistic and feminist explorations of embodiment and identity in flux, as well as an investigation of our interconnection and interaction with the environment around us. With reading groups, talks, workshops and podcasts we propose a net of narratives of permeability to encompass a poetic (post)natural history of being woman throughout 2023. +++++++ Art Laboratory Berlin is glad to announce the solo show of bio media artist Saša Spačal with her newly produced artwork TERRA XENOBIOTICA based on her current artistic research. Terra Xenobiotica by Saša Spačal was realised through a collaborative effort with cultural theorist Ali Sperling and was supported and produced by Art Laboratory Berlin. More about the project HERE. +++++++ ALB would like to share with you an in-depth portrait on ALB in Berlin’s daily newspaper Tagesspiegel, at the RESEARCH section (print/ online).
