Kinesis – A Journey in Motion is the title of the new multimedia exhibition that will be shown at the P61 Gallery on Potsdamer Straße from 14 March 2024. The exhibition is curated as an experience of immersive art and installation on the border between reality and the digital world. Kinesis presents a mixture of light, sound and art over an area of 600 square metres. The exhibition breaks with conventional notions of artistic concepts and emphasises the idea that pure experience itself can be art. The aim of the curation is for this idea to develop within a dynamic dance between the artists and the viewers, and for the absence of a concept to represent the essence of liberation.

“kinesis” (κίνησις) is the ancient Greek word for movement or change. The verb “kineo”, means “to move” or “to set in motion”. In a broader sense, “kinesis” refers to any form of movement, be it physical or metaphorical. In the dark rooms of a former laboratory, visitors can embark on a journey of contemplation through nine installations and twelve exhibition areas. On an exhibition area of around 600 square metres, Kinesis presents 65 high-resolution screens, a 30-square-metre LED wall and various light and sound installations. Each room radiates an individual atmosphere and yet contributes to a holistic experience. The aim of the exhibition is for light, sound and works of art to merge into an emotional spectacle of sound and colour. It is aimed at visitors of all ages; younger children must be accompanied by an adult.
Curator Chams Knorr on the exhibition idea: “In Kinesis, the boundaries of conventional exhibitions dissolve and the conventional idea of artistic concepts fades into the background. In this fascinating space, we proudly declare: This exhibition has no concept. Here we promote the idea that not everything needs a deep meaning. Sometimes the pure experience itself is the art. Here, every installation is proof of the artist’s creativity.”
Kinesis claims to redefine the traditional gallery environment. Walking through the installations should become a personal odyssey and visitors should be encouraged to cast off the shackles of overthinking. The boundaries between viewer and artwork should become blurred. The only rule is to embrace the immersive.
