This marks the first time in its history that the Akademie Schloss Solitude has expanded its profile with a content-related program. Both locally and digitally, international artists and creative thinkers have been engaging with the topic of \u00bbMutations\u00ab since October 2020 through immersive group labs:\r\n\r\nTo define the <strong>mutational<\/strong> is, at its most basic, to set apart a condition at odds with an established order. In the life sciences, this translates to alterations in chromosomal sequence, molecular transformations in cells, tissues, and organisms that are tracked within empirical con<strong>text<\/strong>s construed by <strong>modern science<\/strong>. Yet embedded in the idea of mutation are <strong>blind<\/strong> spots underp<strong>in<\/strong>ning<strong> the<\/strong> designation of order itself. This is true not only in conceptual terms, disciplinary methodologies, or institutional priorities, but also through socio-political configurations that frame what is deemed disparate or exceptional in the<strong> first<\/strong> <strong>place.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe thematic <strong>focus<\/strong> group \u00bbMutations\u00ab at Akademie Schloss Solitude is comprised of seven fellows representing a variety of artistic and interdisciplinary backgrounds. The group is marked by intersecting interests that expand mutation <strong>beyond<\/strong> bounded interpretations of bio<strong>logical<\/strong> structures and <strong>systems.<\/strong> Be it in the worsening eco<strong>logical<\/strong> <strong>crisis<\/strong>, the systematic persistence of capitalist and post-colonial structural violence, or the on<strong>going<\/strong> waves of a <strong>viral<\/strong> pandemic, the urgency of reevaluating mutations serves as <strong>a<\/strong> homing de<strong>vice.<\/strong> Over the course of nine months, the \u00bbMutations\u00ab fellows will eng<strong>a<\/strong>ge in discussions and reflection on the <strong>critical potential <\/strong>of mutations for <strong>rethink<\/strong>ing and reclaiming integrative <strong>concept<\/strong>ions <strong>of life<\/strong> and livelihood, where the individual connotations of the term converge with its planetary implications.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe thematic focus group \u00bbMutations\u00ab is comprised of the following fellows:\r\n\r\n<strong>Sabina Hyoju Ahn<\/strong>: Media and sound artist (Austria\/South Korea), <a href=\"http:\/\/sabinaahn.com\/\">Website<\/a>\r\n<strong>Angela Anderson<\/strong>: Video artist and researcher (USA\/Germany), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angelaolgaanderson.net\/\">Website<\/a>\r\n<strong>Grayson Earle:<\/strong> New media artist (USA), <a href=\"https:\/\/graysonearle.com\/\">Website<\/a>\r\n<strong>Ana Mar\u00eda G\u00f3mez L\u00f3pez<\/strong>: Artist, writer, and researcher (Netherlands\/Colombia\/USA), <a href=\"http:\/\/manual.vision\/\">Website 1<\/a><u>,<\/u> <a href=\"http:\/\/experiments.life\/\">Website 2<\/a>\r\n<strong>Clara Jo<\/strong>: Video artist (Germany), <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/channels\/clarajo\">Website<\/a>\r\n<strong>Maxwell Mutanda<\/strong>: Multidisciplinary researcher, visual artist, and designer (Zimbabwe), <a href=\"https:\/\/maxwellmutanda.com\/\">Website<\/a>\r\n<strong>Joana Quiroga<\/strong>: Visual artist and philosopher (Brazil), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joanaquiroga.com\">Website<\/a>"}],"intro_preview_headline":"","intro_preview_txt":"","intro_preview_img":24956,"news_id_old":"","news_date":"2020-11-27 00:00:00","news_taxonomy_news_type":[503],"news_txt_old":"","news_related_news":[29614],"files":null,"related_posts_news":[13958,13955,13956,13951,13952,13957,13187,0]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/24955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/0"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person\/13187"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person\/13957"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person\/13952"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person\/13951"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person\/13956"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person\/13955"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person\/13958"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/29614"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"news_type","href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_type\/503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_type?post=24955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
