Relationships
Kirstin Burckhardt (Berlin)
in English and German/auf Englisch und Deutsch
Relationships are the artistic material of Kirstin Burckhardt’s research and practice. Her interdisciplinary performances, videos installations, and publications expose how relationships are a real-time choreography and experience via the body – especially in care or power politics. Critically drawing upon her background in psychotherapy and neuroscience, she uses embodied voice and resonant listening to articulate poetries of personal and collective sensitivities, conflicts, and the complexities of healing. Her collaborative practice does not only mean to work together, but to confront and share what it means to be in a relationship – as a radical act. She has published in Frontiers of Psychology and is a member of IMHAR (Institute for Medical Humanities and Artistic Research). Her works have received numerous grants, most recently from the Fonds for Performing Arts, and has exhibited internationally in solo and group shows at Kunsthalle Nürnberg, Deichtorhallen /Sammlung Falckenberg Hamburg, and Goethe Institute Los Angeles, among others.

On the Subject of Tests: Performing with Objects
Sasha Bergstrom-Katz (Berlin)
in English

On the Subject of Tests is a multi-part project which recasts two twentieth-century intelligence tests, the Wechsler and Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, in a series of roles. It re-envisions the intelligence test kit as, in turn, an auto-archive, a rhetorical vessel, and a performance in a box. The project’s subsection, entitled Performing with Objects, uses artistic methods to reframe the test kits and their contents as props, highlighting both the materiality of the kits themselves, which are composed of toys, games, puzzles and booklets, and how these objects play a part in the performance of testing.
Bergstrom-Katz is an artist, researcher and writer living in Berlin. Currently, she is a visiting fellow at the University of Bielefeld in the History and Philosophy of Medicine having recently completed a visiting fellowship at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in a working group on the Practices of Validation in the Biomedical Sciences. She also co-runs the working group Performing Science and Medicine with Dr. Michele Luchetti and is co-editing a volume with Dr. Suzanne Hudson and Dr. Sarah Marks on art and psychotherapy for Oxford University Press. She has a PhD from Birkbeck, University of London in Psychosocial Studies and an MFA in Art from the University of California, Irvine.
