Fracture|Fragments II

Wed-Sat 12:00 - 18:00, Markgrafenstraße 86, 10969 Berlin

For the first exhibition of the year, we present artworks that were ahead of their time – visionary, challenging, and groundbreaking. The works by our artists addressed political and societal upheavals years ago, which continue to resonate today. Bruch|Stücke II invites you to revisit past visions in a new light and experience the power of art to reveal fractures and tell possible future stories.

microforces, Nils Benedikt Fischer
exhibition: 17.10.24 - 30.11.24
wed-sat 12:00-18:00

Nils Benedikt Fischer (*1987 in Dessau) is a visual artist who combines sculpture, engineering, and filmmaking. In his work, he explores the boundaries and intersections between the individual and technology. Using contemporary manufacturing processes, he designs technical artifacts that often preserve a personal sphere in the form of memories, narratives, or dreams. These artifacts are tailored to convey a single message and break away from the system of technological mass production, thereby becoming objects with their own framework, often representing states of fragility and doubt. Born and raised in Dessau, Fischer reflects on the search for identity and belonging, raising the question of what can be done to find one's place in an over-regulated world.
Although natural forces are usually associated with powerful and destructive events, they also encompass subtle processes that appear as early signs of things to come. The exhibition micro forces brings together two different series of technical objects that engage with personal memory and decision-making. Based on the tradition of oracle inquiry, the model of a seasonal flooding becomes the central metaphor for playfully engaging with the forces that shape one's path through life.

Inhabited Basins (2024),  kinetic object.

The series Inhabited Basins (2024) unfolds an inner landscape and questions past decisions that have led to profound changes in the artist’s life. The works consist of basins filled with a cooling lubricant and platforms that set the basins in motion. Each basin moves at a certain speed and radius, creating its own temporal metric. The cooling liquids have varying degrees of turbidity, veiling pictorial arrangements that serve as markers for the biographical crossroads displayed on a map in the center of the installation. The map consists of various landscapes which refer to biographical contexts of the artist. Overlapping one another, these landscapes lose their geographical validity and become an imaginary place of memory. A basin in the center collects drops of cooling liquid and periodically pours them onto different sections of the map. The seasonal flood (a familiar experience during the artist’s childhood) activates different areas of memory and serves as the fertile source to replenish the adjacent basins.

Flying Carpets (2024), kinetic obejct

Encountering the disturbed reflections of the past is also a central theme in the series Flying Carpets (2024), in which sheets of Kodak clear film move over polished aluminum plates. Each film contains the image of a space once inhabited by the artist. Through a process of encryption, the original content has been transformed into patterns resembling the geometry of carpets. Floating above the water-like aluminum surfaces, these carpets are kept in a permanent dance
with their own mirror images.

Help Us Reach You: Expanding the Vision of Art Claims Impulse

Start 27.10.24, 9-27-24

Since 2006, Art Claims Impulse has been a sanctuary for bold, boundary-pushing art—and now, through our upcoming Kickstarter project, we're ready to expand this vision to reach new communities. Specializing in video art, media, installation, and performance, we showcase artists who transform technology into profound experiences. Here, art transcends the medium, inviting viewers to engage, question, and celebrate.

Our Kickstarter project is the next step in our mission to create space for authentic, innovative work that challenges the norm. We’re seeking to connect with audiences who value art that provokes thought and inspires change—people who resonate with our vision and seek a community rooted in authenticity.

Instead of shallow marketing tactics, we’re committed to meaningful engagement through pioneering research and VR and AR innovation, reimagining how niche galleries like ours can grow without compromise. Support our Kickstarter campaign to help us reach the people who value art with depth and meaning, and join us in expanding Art Claims Impulse while staying true to the integrity that defines us.
