Force & Circumstance is a series of conversations around practice, survivalism and desire on Sunday afternoons at Café Weiß. Using the setting of a bar, usually closed on Sundays, the gatherings take the form of semi-public conversations that exist somewhere between a talk about work, and its holding environment.
The first session brings together Stephan Dillemuth and Saim Demircan in a part-screening, part-conversation on the 'control image' and 'giving up' as a method of reinvention. They will question these terms against the backdrop of Dillemuth's work – from his early paintings and 'Disko Dekorations' in the 1980s to his most recent installation and assembly of animated kinetic bodies, 'The Damned'.
Stephan Dillemuth is an artist and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Recent solo exhibitions this year include 'The Damned' at Reena Spaulings Fine Art, New York (2015) and 'Neueröffnung', Galerie Nagel Draxler, Cologne (2015). www.societyofcontrol.com
