After the turbulent spring Titanik opens up for audiences with an exhibition consisting of five individual video pieces. The artists in the exhibition are Cara Tolmie, Sepideh Rahaa, Sorbus-collective, The Miracle Workers Collective and Johanna Billing. Each piece is on view for one week according to the schedule above.

This is How We Walk on the Moon offers a frame where to reflect our recent state of being. The exhibition, consisting of various voices, builds a subtle narrative from being isolated to longing for loved ones and communities, as well as the significances of those communities. Above all, the exhibition aims to bring forward the energies and power collective action may summon. The pandemic has turned out to be not only a health-related issue, but essentially also an economic, social and political one. In the beginning of the summer, we have witnessed that racism and other structures that effectively create inequality are still very much harboured in our societies. However, the world has changed since the start of the year, and it is now actively being transformed further.

The title of the show, This is How We Walk on the Moon, has been loaned from a song by American musician and composer Arthur Russell (1951–1992). The tile and the soundscape of the song is also repeated in Johanna Billing’s video piece. In the frame of the exhibition, the song can be associated with a communal movement heading forward. Each step is moving us on, as Russell sings.

The exhibition opens without a private view on Tuesday the 30^th of June. Titanik is open Tue-Fri 12–6pm and Sat–Sun 12-4pm. Each piece is on view on loop for one week. If necessary, we will restrict the number of visitors in the black box so that everyone gets to experience the pieces with safe distances.

Welcome!
