Lecture | The Future: A Female Civilization Again?


While researching the histories of love and sexuality for his novel La Gula del Picaflor (The Gluttony of the Hummingbird, 2003), Juan Lechin found interesting clues of what appears to be the existence of lengthy cycles in history which go from female civilization to male, and, currently, heading back to a female era. The female societies of common property have been permanently overlooked, even though the very long processes of agriculture and animal domestication were some of their exceptional achievements.

Opening Reception | Photography: Florian Reischauer's Grüss Gott - A Fairy Tale


Florian Reischauer's solo show is a narration based on childhood memories which takes place in a little village in the countryside. It deals with traditions, recurring seasons, the feeling of being protected by a familiar constant and a certain consciousness of being stuck in time. It's a never-ending story with an unwritten plot, which is nevertheless created by its protagonists. Florian Reischauer (b. 1985) is an Austrian photographer and blogger based in Berlin. In 2013, a solo exhibition of the project was shown at the Austrian Cultural Forum in Berlin, and a book of the same name has just been published.
