Martin Kohout – Jokes Machines Make About Humans: 2nd infusion

Curated by Isabel Halene

Many places and very busy. Martin Kohout's persistent, sometimes serial questioning involves several artistic disciplines. They are all combined and mixed with elements from the latest technology, perception and production. Martin Kohout initially reveals a pure curiosity for living conditions. He shapes, burns, glazes, he calls upon nature to superficially grasp liquid, follows the flow through light and movement machines. Precise observations, considerations and manipulations are used to prepare the steps that become part of a great event. Kunst Raum Riehen as a test tube. In the middle of it is the welcome visitor. Machine jokes about us, humans.

Martin Kohout was born in Prague in 1984 and studied at the FAMU there and at the Städelschule in Frankfurt. He lives in Berlin and Prague.
