SORONG 1962
Installation by Alfred Banze, Wendela de Vries, Tanya von Barnau Sythoff
02 / 12 / 17 until 03 / 02 / 18
In my family there were maybe two photo albums, my mother’s hand-written recipe book and the odd slide show when friends from that time happened to visit – nothing more. My father, who as a Dutch officer volunteered to go to Sorong, hardly ever mentioned the time we spent there.
Neither did he talk much about his childhood in Indonesia: too many incomprehensible things had happened there. He was sixteen when he arrived by ship in Amsterdam from Jakarta. In the Netherlands he met my mother during his time at the Royal Military Academy where he trained to become an officer.
In the spring of 1960 he embarked for New Guinea, then still known as Netherlands New Guinea (NNG), the Western part of one of the big islands: Papua New Guinea. Finally, he was back in the tropics. I was just a few months old when my mother followed him. In 1962, however, the Netherlands handed over its last Asian colony to Indonesia.
Why New Guinea? Unspoken, the New Guinea experience has been with me all my life, like an unopened box sitting in the attic. Now I want to put it on the table. My childhood, its dream-like memories and the space in which it took place, and a geopolitical game between the powers that be. And why exactly have the Papuas still not been given the right of self-determination?
At Zagreus the two Dutch artists Tanya von Barnau Sythoff and Wendela de Vries, who both took their first steps in “discovering the world” in Sorong, pool their earliest childhood memories. They invite you to join them on a journey to a time marked by the clash of hard-nosed economic interests and ancient cultures. Caught in the middle was a group of young people who, voluntarily or involuntarily, were supposed to enable an idealistic political objective.
The third artist in this party is Berlin-based Alfred Banze. He stands for 2017 by making music and organising workshops with indigenous artists in Sorong. Over the duration of the exhibition there will be a digital sketchbook that takes the form of a Cadavre Exquis produced by Alfred in Sorong and by Tanya in Berlin. Sorong, 1962, is the beginning of a travelling project that engages with the stories of the respective stations.
The space at Zagreus can be imagined as a train compartment in which conversations are in progress while changing historical landscapes and the scents and fragrances of distant countries drift by on occasions.

WASSERERDE
Graphics and ceramics from Jennifer Oellerich
14 / 07 / 17 until 16 / 09 / 17
The exhibition WASSERERDE from Jeniffer Oellerich shows her new works, that deal with lwater, rain and snow. The element water is for Jennifer Oellerich a theme over long time, that explores the origin of our existence and perception.
She creates especially for Zagreus Projekt a ceramic installation with 36 elements, that are used for the first course of the menu. The glaze of these ceramics plays with the origin of subject matter and its transformation. A “pars pro toto” structure. During this exhibition we offer dinner nights that deal with the primordial soup and different conditions of fluid and solid food.

SWEET NOTHINGS – On Stage
Installation with evanescent and moving objects by Johanna Smiatek
05 / 05 / 17 until 01 / 07 / 17
Artist Johanna Smiatek presents in her exhibition SWEET NOTHINGS – On Stage the quest for happiness and shows promises which are made by mass media, advertising and online shops. Happiness, not as a sensory condition, but as a nondurable good.
The main piece of the exhibition is the modified “Love-Machine” – an installation, which the artist showed in 2016 and that allows each visitor to enjoy a moment of happiness.
In the space of Zagreus the artist modify the “Love Machine” and brings the visitors into the center of the installation. The work will be accompanied by the sound installation “Sweet Nothings”. During the runtime of the exhibition special aphrodisiac menus will offer and will support to find a little dose of happiness. To the opening will offer aphrodisiac appetizers.
Johanna Smiatek
*1967 Hannover (Germany), lives and works in Berlin (Germany)
Johanna Smiatek is a critical observer of the mechanisms of our society and the media. She looks behind the scenes and impeachs some sights of the society. She develops her own language of communication to disclose systems. Her artistic work is often in the borderland between two phenomena, the natural and the artificial, the reality and the virtuality, modern technology and human affectivity.
The big key issues are self-projection, narcissism, fashion, glamour and other affectations.
Her artistic media are objects (often moving), interactive installations and drawings, which will find the way to arrangements in space.
The artist participates in international curated shows and exhibited in different museums like the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, Georg Kolbe Museum, ROHKUNSTBAU, Kunstmuseen Heilbronn, etc.
TIME MACHINE / ZEITMASCHINE
Installation by Susanne Ring and Oliver Möst
28 / 02 / 17 bis 29 / 04 / 17
The installation is made of pottery and wall papers and refers to the film
“Time Machine” from 1960, that is based on the utopian novel by H.G. Wells who
wrote it in 1895.
It is a parabola around the question how to deal with resources and what brings the future.
