17 Volcanoes

U5, The Human Crater (2017), film still.

Presented by NUS Museum, in collaboration with the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL), this exhibition is part of the research project “Tourism and Cultural Heritage: A Case Study on the Explorer Franz Junghuhn”. The contour of this project is shaped around a series of expeditions from Singapore to Java that traces the itinerary of Junghuhn to seventeen of his favourite volcanoes. It aims developing new methods and narratives of research and contemporary exploration. The expeditions consists of small groups of artist, scholars and professionals operating within the fields of humanities, science, urbanism and architecture. They pass through densely populated areas and volcanic areas, questioning the traditional opposition between the urban and the land. 17 Volcanoes performs this multi-disciplinary lens that confronts and reconfigures methods of knowledge exchange and research experience.

The exhibition includes works of art by Armin Linke, Bas Princen, Deni Sugandi, U5, and Wermke/Leinkauf and contributions by Elisabeth Bronfen, Adrianne Joergensen, Alexander Lehnerer, Sebastian Linsin, Clive Oppenheimer, and Philip Ursprung.

Opening: 5 October, 7pm

Venue: NUS Museum

When: 5 Oct 2017 - 15 Feb 2018,

By: NUS Museum, NUS Centre For the Arts (CFA)
