Squaring the CircleSquaring the Circle 25 June – 16 July 2011 IAC Berlin Gallery &
GlogauAIR Brunnenstraße 29, Berlin "Squaring the circle",
metaphorically speaking, seeks to combine contradictions. In 1882 the
ancient geometric problem of squaring the circle was declared unsolvable, as
the Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem proved that Pi is a transcendental, rather
than an algebraic number. The impossibility to actually square
the circle is a consequence of the subjectivity defined by the point in time
and its cloud of knowledge and perceptions. Following the thread of
juxtaposing, in this exhibition, the conceptual and the narrative are
questioned as incompatible opposites. With works by Heike Bollig, Marco Bruzzone, Nine Budde, Channa Horwitz, Žilvinas Landzbergas, Michael Müller, Thomas Ravens, Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis Curated by Tanja Schomaker with Juste
