Groupshow ***La Vallée Patibulaire***
Called by: Caro Bittermann, Caro Suerkemper, Peter Duka, Catherine Lorent

On the 25th, 26th and 27th of February 2011, a former butcher’s shop, located on the ”Red
Island“ in Berlin Schöneberg, is going to transform into an exhibition gallery. The event is entitled
”La Vallée Patibulaire“, and it will awaken this sleeping beauty before it is transformed and renovated. The ”image“ of the exhibition is constructed by this resuscitating place, the choices
of the artists hosting (Caro Bittermann, Caro Suerkemper, Peter Duka, and Catherine Lorent)
and its polysemous title ”Vallée Patibulaire“. ”Vallée Patibulaire“ (also known as the ”disturbing
valley“) is a French translation of the ”Uncanny Valley“ concept, which was born with robotics and has since spread through humanoid-like 3D animation. This concept asks the question of how our acceptance-level plunges as avatars resemble their human ”models“ more and more.

Opening Friday Feb. 25th, 18.00 - 22.00
Güstav-Müller-strasse 18, 10829 Berlin
Exhibition on view Sat. 26 and Sunday 27 Feb. 12.00 - 18.00
