Céline Mathieu's Ghostly Industrial Exhibition at Kunstverein Schwerin
At the Kunstverein für Mecklenburg und Vorpommern in Schwerin, Céline Mathieu's exhibition delves into themes of industrial heritage and materiality, showcasing pieces that utilize ESP32 chips, gold investments, and aluminum ingots. This exhibition pays homage to the venue's history as an E-Werke electricity facility, with remnants of water tubing still visible. A posthumous Reader will feature a collection of commissioned fiction. Additionally, the display includes a postcard and poster featuring a rabbit photograph from two decades ago, which was uploaded to Wikipedia by the artist's partner. Robots from the M-4 Institute for Mechatronics in Mechanical Engineering at the Ligeti Center are also on loan for this showcase. The rabbit image serves as a subtitle for the exhibition's title.
