“Chromatic Wednesdays”is a bi-weekly event series organized by Apartment Project, which promotes artistic expression across various disciplines and formats. Each month, Chromatic Wednesdays focuses on a new theme, for which two events are realized. In 2022, the themes were: Improvisation, Exile, Precarity, Mutualism, Recurrence, Echoes, Divergence, Instability, Curiosity, Resonance, Sanctuary and Inversion. In 2023: Solidarity, Upheaval, Resistance, Light, Comma, Mythology, Position, Urbanism, Unbound, Dystopia, Home and Intelligence. Chromatic Wednesdays invited artists, musicians, performers, scientists and cultural practitioners to collaborate, experiment and share their unique research, practices and experiences with each other and the public. The events included a wide range of multidisciplinary, hybrid formats, including concerts, performances, workshops, film screenings, lectures, exhibitions, readings, and panel discussions.

In 2021 the project came to life as a reaction to artistic disruption caused by the pandemic.  Today numerous challenges persistently endanger cultural production. How do artists and  audiences from different backgrounds and mediums come together? What forms of new expression can be explored or can be expanded? What kind of new networks between institutions and artists can be established? How can these networks sustain the survival of the artists?

As part of Chromatic Wednesdays’ Season 2 and 3, a total of 167 participants from countries, such as Turkey, Germany, France, Italy, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Ukraine, Norway, Japan, Iran, Poland, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Russia, China, the U.K, USA, Portugal, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Namibia, Israel, Egypt, Spain, Austria, Ireland, Russia, Taiwan were invited. Of them, 92 female, 63 male and 12 non-binary participated.

The very first editions were streamed online due to Corona measures. Since June 2021, the events have been held in a hybrid format, mainly at the Apartment Project and online.

MATHS, EUPHORIA AND MISINTERPRETATIONS


Lecture performances:
«New Work – Embodied Metaphoria» by Iuno Christin Bolte
«Misinterpretation of Dreams» by Mert Akbal
«Maths and Crushes and so on» by Cornelia Fachinger
The ambition to explore the unknown was the main engine driving the artists’ presentation of their lecture performances under the «Chromatic Wednesdays’» theme «Curiosity». Iuno Christin Bolte explored new working techniques and forms of action in digital space and beyond. After working on a reconceptualization of touch as an embodied metaphor of artistic reception, Iuno’s research shifted to exploring visual economies of virtual spaces as they became increasingly important with the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic.
Mert Akbal’s lecture-performance presented animated paintings accompanied by spoken thoughts on the fear of war, virus, and failure and their paralyzing effects; on the simulation and memory functions of imagination, dream, and art; and on curiosity as the driving force of our intellectual development and the antagonist of fear, as both fear and curiosity are directed toward the unknown. For her improvised lecture-performance Cornelia Fachinger entered a special state of rapture and spoke about everything that interests her besides art.

Iuno Christin Bolte is an artist, critic and somatic practitioner based in Berlin. Focusing on somatosensory experiences as a means of understanding reception aesthetics and artistic knowledge production, Iuno’s work alienates popular artifacts and texts on a cryptographic mission for change. A museum becomes a martial arts hall, a networking conference a Live Action Role Playing world, a hotel room a museum, an art fair a rave and the gallery a space a care.

Mert Akbal is a visual artist and researcher. His artistic work and scientific research include topics in cognitive science such as consciousness, dreams, and visual expression, as well as the exploration of new digital media and visual art in scientific research. He has worked at the Saar College of Fine Arts with a focus on interactive media art and at the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Neuroscience with a focus on experiments in virtual reality. His artistic works have been presented on numerous international platforms, such as the International Symposium on Electronic Arts in Hong Kong (2016), in Durban (2018) and at Ars Electronica in Linz (2021).

Cornelia Fachinger studied fine arts in the fields of sculpture, art in public space and performance in Saarbrücken and Vienna. She is a master’s graduate of the Institute for Art in Context at the Berlin University of the Arts. She develops concepts that incorporate structures and conditions within (artistic) spaces and events, such as a room spray of essential oils for the Kunstraum Niederoesterreich based on the result of its energetic evaluation, the short-term training of an art association to become a canon choir, or a family sculpture as a video performance in the context of a historic building in Berlin. Currently she is engaged in statistical programming.
