Rather than offering a stable vision of the world, the works summon open systems \u2013 hybrid and in constant transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the exhibition space, the artist designs a processual display that moves between construction and decay: a fragile architecture reminiscent of an archaeological excavation site, where traces of civilizational development become visible. The exhibition unfolds as a landscape of cognitive tensions, where history condenses into geological strata, ruins converse with technological debris, and human identity is reconfigured in relation to invisible infrastructures and collective organisms.&nbsp;Within this environment, the works function as thought-devices: they activate connections, stretch concepts, and allow us to glimpse other possible forms of intelligence, memory, and coexistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lamas presents knowledge not as linear accumulation but as sedimentation, erosion, and recomposition. In this framework, swarm intelligence \u2013 inspired by the collective behavior of social insects such as termites, ants, or wasps \u2013 emerges as a central metaphor for rethinking modes of cultural, technological, and biological production. In contrast to the modern ideal of the autonomous, rational, individual mind, the exhibition proposes a more porous subject: a temporal node within an expansive network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a heterogeneous materiality, ranging from bone remains to technological fossils and collaged photographs, Lamas questions the mechanisms of knowledge and historiography. In his works, intelligence is not understood as an isolated entity, but as an ecology shaped by interactions, encompassing various forms of knowledge and information storage that are not limited to humans.&nbsp;<em>fluid minds<\/em>&nbsp;offers a perspective on the world as a hybrid structure of matter, socialization, and overlapping temporalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition opens parallel to Gallery Weekend Berlin and is accompanied by an exhibition text by&nbsp;art historian, curator and author&nbsp;Dr. Luisa Seipp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening | Berlin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friday 2 May 2025<br>6 \u2013 9 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The artist will be present<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special opening hours during Gallery Weekend Berlin<br>Saturday 3 May | 12 \u2013 6 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunday 4 May | 12 \u2013 6 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artist Talk and Book Presentation<br>Saturday 12 July<br>four in the afternoon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 Exhibition text&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxgoelitz.com\/usr\/library\/documents\/main\/2025-04-30_exhibition-text_fluid-minds_max-goelitz.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Archeologies of What is Coming Next<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;Dr. Luisa Seipp<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mg-server.work\/index.php\/s\/M9An5ifNMp6gQbi\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u2192&nbsp;Press kit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 Mai &#8211; 5 Juli 2025<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibitions","category-forthcoming"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1388,"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446\/revisions\/1388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longartspace.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
