Circa refuses the determination that 106 suggests.
The space is to open a discourse of inclusivity for cultural practitioners from all backgrounds.

Version Room with Heike Kati Barath, Lui Kohlmann and Julian Hespenheide as part of The Dynamic Archive

In the middle of May 2022, during their Version Room residency at Circa 106, Heike Kati Barath, Lui Kohlmann and Julian Hespenheide will transform the gallery space into an open invitation to encounter chance and choice from three different perspectives. Between the three different components, a Projection-Animation, a Software Oracle and anthropomorphic life forms, common themes of repetition, randomness and selection are shared.

The opening of the exhibition is on 11.5.2022 at 19h / Opening times are 12-15-5-2022 14h-18h
