Shared Memories ; is an original exhibition of graphics by Lisa Maria Baier, created 

with the help of artificial intelligence powered by archival photos and historical
documents belonging to Polish refugees from the 1930s and 1940s and German
refugees after 1945. The exhibition is part of the monthly residency program
implemented by the Departments of Culture of the partner cities - Wrocław and
Dresden.
We invite you to the opening with the participation of the Dresden artist on April 3 at
7:00 PM at the Reception Café. During the opening there will be a conversation with
the artist. Posters with the resident works will also be available for purchase on site.
The source of the graphics generated by the resident using AI are stories from Bruni
Adler book Shared Memories - Poles, Germans and the War; and the memories of
the artist family. By processing these fragmentary stories – archival photos,
personal memories and historical accounts – using artificial intelligence, the project
revisualizes emotions related to exile, loss and longing.
Digital images will be captured using workshop graphics techniques in the City
Gallery studio in Wrocław. The artist also plans to use screen printing in collaboration
with the ASP Wrocław studios, combining modern technology with traditional printing
techniques. In this case, the multi-layer printing process symbolizes the complexity
and overlap of memories.

“The project explores the complicated histories of Germany and Poland in the context
of experiences related to war, displacement and memory. It is based on the personal
story of my grandmother, who was born in a village near Legnica. Her family owned a
farm there, from which they were expelled in 1945. Millions of Germans and Poles
experienced displacement in the 20th century, and the scars resulting from forced
migration remain deep in collective memory. In the context of such a past, today's
closing of borders is not only an act of forgetting, but also a betrayal of the lessons
that history has brought us.

The end result is not another reproduction of history, but a new perspective on it – the
past is combined with modern technology, questioning the notion of static memory.
The images encourage reflection on displacement as a current issue, not just a
historical event. If millions of Germans and Poles once sought asylum, why do we
now turn away from those who seek safety?” - Lisa Maria Baier
Lisa Maria Baier is a German visual artist, born in 1988 in Görlitz. She graduated
from the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden (HfBK) and the Academy of Fine Arts in
Budapest (MKE). She lives and works in Dresden.
Her work is based on participatory practices – she involves third parties who provide
the materials that form the basis of her documentary projects through conversations,
surveys and collaborations. Using these archives, the artist creates films and
installations that explore the complex relationships between the individual and
cultural heritage.
Baier's works have been presented in prestigious institutions such as the
Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn, the German Hygiene Museum and the Kunsthaus
Dresden. The artist thoroughly examines the ambivalences, anxieties and doubts of
the young generation towards cultural heritage, which is reflected in her films and
spatial installations. Her work shows the constant process of negotiating the
meanings of images and motifs taken from personal archives, giving them new
contexts and interpretations.

 INVITATION 05.06.2023 12:00-20:00 @dkcsarajevo, Kranjčevićeva 24, Sarajevo

Hello,
I am the artist who put up and distributed the A4 posters in public space in Sarajevo to ask for opinions about the EU. "Šta je za vas Evropa?". I myself am critical of the EU, that's why I'm doing this project. Especially when you look at the hot situation in Ukraine. Since many Bosnians have told me that they would rather talk to me live than write, I will do a Chat day @dkcsarajevo 

Zdravo,
Ja sam umjetnik koji je postavljao i distribuirao plakate formata A4 na javnom prostoru u Sarajevu da tražim mišljenje o EU. "Šta je za tebe Evropa?". I sam sam kritičan prema EU, zato radim ovaj projekat. Pogotovo kada pogledate vruću situaciju u Ukrajini. Pošto su mi mnogi Bosanci rekli da bi radije razgovarali sa mnom uživo nego pisali, napraviću Chat day.

Šta je za vas Evropa? Umjetnica sam iz Njemačke i nikad nisam iskusila rat.  U potrazi sam za složenim odgovorima i pitanjima. Molim Vas da mi napišete svoje iskreno mišljenje.

Sinoć su me pitali da li sam ja osoba koja je postavila postere u
javnom prostoru i postavljati pitanja o Evropi. Odgovorio sam da. Čovjek je pitao da li mislim na Evropu ili EU. Uostalom, Bosna i Hercegovina je dio Evrope. Rekao sam da se radi o EU. Pitao je i zašto nisam izrazio svoje mišljenje o EU. Mislim da moji plakati u svom vizuelnom obliku odlično izražavaju moj stav prema EU.

Rotterdam, 2. September bis 31.Oktober 2019

In ihrem Projekt Screening about Screens untersucht Lisa Maria Baier die öffentlichen Screens in Rotterdam, ihre psychologischen Aspekte, die Art und Weise, wie sie an architektonische Gegebenheiten angepasst werden, sowie die dargestellten Inhalte. Die öffentlichen Bildschirme werden von ihr dokumentiert und gefilmt, ebenso wie die Menschen, die sich die out-of-home-displays ansehen, und ihre Reaktionen auf die Inhalte. Daraus soll eine Pop-up Ausstellung entstehen mit Beteiligung von Rotterdamer und Dresdner Videokünstler*innen.
 

In Kooperation mit Kulturamt der Stadt Dresden und CBK R'dam.
