„Moreth Anhuman“
Commission – two site-specific works for „Musik Installationen“ Festival in Nuremberg, Germany. From May 24 to June 1, 2025. Curator: Marie-Therese Bruglacher
With „Moreth Anhuman“ Anke Eckardt realises a cross-species sci-fi fable about intelligence, communication and coexistence. It unfolds between two locations – pedal boating on the Dutzendteich in the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds and a former fire station.
Ground, Wall, Verticality
2008–2014. A trilogy on imaginary architectures. The accompanying artist’s book ‘SONIC SPACES’ (2013) was published by Revolver Verlag, Berlin.
Within the framework of this trilogy, Anke realized a series of multimedia installations including various versions of ‘GROUND’ (2013/14), ‘BETWEEN | YOU | AND | ME’ (2011/2012) and ‘!’ & ‘! MULTICHANNEL’ (2008-2010). The works are based on an examination of power relations and the politics of materiality; aesthetically, they each develop their own poetics of space.
