Conference: Performing Transformation: Shifting Landscapes in Art, Science, and Technology

TU Dresden, Andreas-Pfitzmann-Bau, Nöthnitzer Str. 46, 01187 Dresden

September 29–30, 2025

Organized and hosted by Dr. Özgün Eylül İşcen

Performing Transformation is a two-day event at TU Dresden that examines how knowledge is produced, embodied, and challenged in times of rapid social change at the intersections of art, science, and technology. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers, artists, and practitioners to shed light on performative and collaborative research practices in the context of economic, political, cultural, ecological, and technological transformations.

The conference is organized by inter- and transdisciplinary institutions at TU Dresden, including the SchauflerLab@TU Dresden, TUDiSC, the Interactive Science Lab, the research priority area Societal Change, and the Artist-in-Residence program S+T+ARTS Ec(h)o based at the Office of Academic Heritage (Kustodie).

Opening: September 26, 2025, 7 p.m.

In the third exhibition of the newly founded Raw Lemon Gallery, the medium of photography—and specifically the subject of portraiture—is explored. On view are works by five contemporary photographic artists from different generations. Margit Emmrich, Emanuel Mathias, Volker Renner, Anett Stuth, and Jule Würfel each find their own distinctive approach to portraying portraiture, corporeality, or the human condition. What unites them is their modernist expansion, intensification, or questioning of the genre. The exhibition is curated by Björn Siebert.

The exhibition This is Turbulence operates at the intersection of visual art and science communication and is based on a year-long process of artistic research. In collaboration with faculty and alumni from the Department of Engineering and Natural Sciences (INW), the project explored working and knowledge-production processes, as well as rituals and gestures within the scientific disciplines, while reflecting on the historical and spatial relationship between the university and its regional network. At its core, alongside history, were the discipline’s present-day self-conception, regional knowledge transfer, and the close connection to the chemical industry hub of Leuna. The exhibition presents contemporary photographs, installations, scientific and historical objects, as well as multimedia works.
