ANNOUNCING: COSMIC ROMANTIC
jörg hasheider // alexine chanel
vernissage: freitag, 14/10/2016 19:00-22:00
finissage: sonntag, 16/10/2016 17:00-20:00
at
hochparterre berlin
prinzessinnenstraße 7, U8 moritzplatz
jörg hasheider will be showing material paintings, including his latest work: “pretty pressure dance". alexine chanel will stage a participative photoshooting event, “vanishing point” on the 14th. there will be three sessions, between 20:00 and 21:30. the images thus produced will be visible during the finissage on the 16th.
Den Protagonisten der deutschen und der englischen, „schwarzen“ Romantik gemein ist ihr Drang, sich dem Dasein absolut hinzugeben.
In den Momenten höchster Hingabe - an die Liebe, an die Natur -
lauert höchste Gefahr: der Wahnsinn und der Tod.
Die in der romantischen Bewegung geprägten Narrative sind bis heute virulent und treten mit der anscheinend zunehmenden Entschärfung der Risiken unseres Daseins in Konflikt. Partnervermittlungen versichern die Liebe, technologischer, medizinischer Fortschritt versichert das Leben.
Die Ausstellung „cosmic romantic“ sucht nach Spuren und Bildern
romantischer Sehnsucht im zeitgenössischen Weltbild, zwischen Bindungsangst und dunkler Materie.
The protagonists of german and english "black" romanticism have in common their desire to unite existence with absolute surrender. In the throws of the deepest devotion -to love, to nature- lurks great danger: madness and death.
The narratives embraced by the romantic movement are still virulent today. They come into conflict with the ostensible increase in defusing the perception of our existential perils. Dating Agencies promise love, technological and medical progress insure an improved life expectancy.
The exhibition “cosmic romantic” seeks for traces and images
of romantic yearning in the contemporary worldview, between fear of intimacy and dark matter.

SPINNING JENNY 2000 is a wide scale installation planned in the Bruder Gemeinde,
on a surface of around 16 meter by 11 meter. It will be show there for the first
time as part of and in response to the art festival “48 Sunden Neukölln” whose
theme for 2016 is “SATT”, as is surabondance, excess, glut, mass consumerism.
The installation consists of a large volume of white cotton gloves (around 1000 pairs) manufactured in Bangladesh, which are hung as so many pennants on yards and yards of string, ironically reminding one of national holidays and fêtes (Feiertage).
“Spinning Jenny” is a machine that was invented during the industrial revo- lution. The device reduced the amount of work needed to produce yarn, with a worker able to work eight or more spools at once. This grew to 120 as tech- nology advanced. This seems an adept reference to the thousands of workers, invisible and remote, whom make our garments in Bangldesh or China or other countries where labor is cheap thus ennables huge profits on a mass scale for wide-distribution fashion megabrands such as H&M and all of the “big” names of cheap outfitters.
The objective of this project is to bring the public attention to the persons behind the fashionable garments offered in wide-distribution fashion estab- lishments, reminding the consumers of the origins of the word “fashion”: from Latin factio(n-), from facere ‘do, make’, which implies a maker behind each item of clothing; to help end-users realise someone else on the other end of the chain is paying for the cheap T-shirts we buy.

The installation SPINNING JENNY 2000 is part of a wider project, “APPAREIL”,
and Günter Nest’s project “HABITAT FORUM BERLIN” and more precisely the theme:
“ARBEITER-INNEN VERLASSEN DIE TEXTILFABRIK* – LOKALE UND GLOBALE VERFLECHTUNGEN
DER TEXTILPRODUKTION IN BANGLADESCH / LOCAL AND GLOBAL INTER-RELATIONS OF TEX-
TILE PRODUCTION IN BANGLADESH”, which analyses the conditions of the workers in
the textile industry, a commercial enterprise that links the “rich north” and
the “poor south” with each and every transaction it entails.
Project APPAREIL and SPINNING JENNY 2000 concentrates their focal point on the humanity and existence of the workers of the Dhaka factories by means of a re- search into the phenomenon of anonymisation in the global economy and through this multinational industry; and the consequent discrepancy it creates in lo- cal economic markets. The project seeks to reopen the consumers eyes onto the existence, away from the consumer’s gaze, of the “makers” of any bought garment available for sale and immediate purchase on the western consumer shelves. It seeks to make these hidden hands present again to us, and once more connected with heads and bodies, to summon up the individuals threaded behind the seams.
The idea of anonymity is suitably embodied by the white gloves, an item that protect from leaving fingerprints behind, yet made on an industrial scale by thou- sands of invisible hands belonging to “anyones”, or even to “no-ones”, thousands of kilometres away.
The object “white glove” is therefore the proposed vector of investigation into the condition of of the textile workers in Dhaka, a process which starts on the internet, making the purchase of 100 dozen pairs of cotton gloves made in Ban- gladesh, the minimum amount for a BULK purchase.
A purchase over the internet seems an ideal illustration of the phenomena of anonymisation of the consumers as well as the sellers, and the further mystifica- tion of the innitial “makers” at the begining of the production line. It is as if the product fell out of the sky, magic and shiny, and object made by many and consummed collectively by many, like the great cathedrals of the middl-ages. In- ternet is the phenomena of anonymisation and glogablisation at its paroxysm and is therefore the chosen means of purchase of the item “white glove”.
