JOSHUA FINEBERG | ELANA KATZ | DARIO SRBIĆ


The Other One is a site-specific performative exhibition by HEW (House for the End of the World), featuring the work of three interdisciplinary artists and presented in October at Goethe Institut Boston and subsequently at Kwadrat Galerie in Berlin, Germany. The project confronts the topics of dependency, displacement, and distortion through live performance, AI-driven sculpture, and sound installation. HEW, a nomadic contemporary art platform founded in Berlin by Elana Katz in 2020, presents its first edition outside of Germany.

Through endurance-based performance, Katz's work activates the space and triggers Dario Srbić's AI-driven 3D printer —  a non-human performer translating her ephemeral gestures into sculptural artifacts. Joshua Fineberg's spatialized sound environment immerses viewers in a visual-sonic experience that induces a sense of disorientation.

The core conceptual themes of dependency, displacement, and distortion consider and reshape the notion of perception and interaction, encouraging reflection on shifting histories, the fragility of place, and the transitory nature of belonging.

This installation is made possible by generous support from the Internationaler Koproduktionsfonds, Goethe-Institut Boston, HEW (House for the End of the World), KWADRAT Galerie Berlin and Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Music and School of Visual Arts.
