Site-specific Exhibition: THE OTHER ONE

OPENING with PERFORMANCE by ELANA KATZ in cooperation with DARIO SRBIC: October 10, 2025, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM PANEL DISCUSSION and FINISSAGE: October 14, 2025, 7:00 PM EXHIBITION HOURS: October 11 - 14, 2025, 12:00 PM - 7:00 PM The Other One&nbsp;is a site-specific performative exhibition by HEW (House for the End of the World), featuring the work of three interdisciplinary artists and presented in October at Goethe Institut Boston and subsequently at Kwadrat Galerie in Berlin, Germany. The project confronts the topics of dependency, displacement, and distortion through live performance, AI-driven sculpture, and sound installation. HEW, a nomadic contemporary art platform founded in Berlin by Elana Katz in 2020, presents its first edition outside of Germany. Through endurance-based performance, Katz's work activates the space and triggers Dario Srbić's AI-driven 3D printer — a non-human performer translating her ephemeral gestures into sculptural artifacts. Joshua Fineberg's spatialized sound environment immerses viewers in a visual-sonic experience that induces a sense of disorientation. The core conceptual themes of dependency, displacement, and distortion consider and reshape the notion of perception and interaction, encouraging reflection on shifting histories, the fragility of place, and the transitory nature of belonging. This installation is made possible by generous support from the Internationaler Koproduktionsfonds, Goethe-Institut, HEW (House for the End of the World), KWADRAT Galerie Berlin and Boston University. We are grateful to present this installation in teh context of the first Boston Public Art Triennial.&nbsp; HEW Artist Biographies Joshua Fineberg&nbsp;is a composer of contemporary/experimental classical music and sound artist. He has won numerous awards and his music is published by Editions Max Eschig, Gérard Billaudot Editeur and BabelScores. Fineberg’s works are widely performed in the US, Europe and Asia and CD’s are available from Universal France’s Accord/Una Corda collection, Mode Records and Métier Records. He has taught at IRCAM, Columbia and Harvard Universities, and currently teaches at Boston University where he serves as the Founding Director of the Boston University Center for New Music. In 2016 he was named a Chévalier of arts and letters by France. Over the last decade has become involved in immersive/participatory works and site-specific experiences.His art deals with intense experiences, strange and disorienting environments that allow one suddenly re-orient into new and unexpected perspectives. He seeks to create experiences that one does not merely passively observe but which are happening to the visitor.&nbsp; Elana Katz&nbsp;is a conceptual artist and curator working primarily with the medium of performance art. Katz’s work often examines memory, post-memory, and means of processing traumatic experience. She aims to provoke experiences of unlearning the assumed. Katz’s exhibitions and performances include the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium (2011), Diehl CUBE, Berlin (2013), PPOW Gallery, New York (2013), IEEB7 Biennial of Bucharest (2017), KWADRAT Berlin (2017-25), DFBRL8R Performance Art Gallery, Chicago (2019), Passagen Art Gallery Linköping, Sweden with her recent solo exhibition The Future Has No Memory (2024-25), and the Museum of Sundsvall, Sweden (2019-20), where her work was acquired into the museum's permanent collection. She studied at the Parsons School of Design in New York and the Universität der Künste Berlin (class of Katharina Sieverding), from which she earned a Meisterschulerin title in 2010. Katz is a recipient of the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art (2011) and worked as a re-performer of Marina Abramovic’s work in The Artist is Present at MoMA, New York (2010). In 2020, Katz founded the Berlin-based nomadic contemporary art space House for the End of the World (HEW) in cooperation with Galerie KWADRAT, where she curates a program focused on site- specificity. Dario Srbic&nbsp;was born in former Yugoslavia and currently lives in Berlin, Germany and London, UK. Srbic's work navigates the complex terrain where algorithms, particularly artificial cognition, intersect with realms of emotional sentience and 3D printing. In his practice, Dario intertwines machine learning with biometrical data and 3D-printing processes to sculpturally manifest the intricate dance of sensuousness and desire, such as the interplay between fear and excitement. At its core lie concepts of emergence and complex adaptive systems, in which artificial agents do not simply generate and replicate sculptures but are participants in cognitive and artistic processes, evolving from simple training to active learning through various forms of reinforcement learning. Furthermore, the practice reimagines the concept of "translation", specifically through the reinterpretation of algorithms in 3D printing. Here, machine learning frameworks breathe life into static algorithms, fostering a dynamic interplay between reinforcement learning agents, language models, and simulated environments. Merging diverse philosophical approaches, the artist constructs a landscape where art is understood as an emergent phenomenon within complex, distributed systems, challenging conventional distinctions between artificial and sentient, subject and object, form and matter. His exploration of the "ready-made" in a digital context challenges traditional art narratives, questioning the nature of replication and originality in the age of 3D printing. Dario holds a PhD from the Royal College of Art of London. His work has been in numerous publications including the Journal of Philosophy of Photography and is held in the Ursula Blickle Videoarchive.
