Alice Creischer’s newly commissioned installation takes its name from a (supposedly) self-perpetuating magnetic motor Stefan Marinov developed in 1992 with two collaborators from Treviso, one of many similar experiments. Its organic materials refer to Marinov’s day job as a horse groom and to the biological basis of all machines. Its elements explore the drastic ecological effects of our own time’s hunger for energy and the flawed idealism of Marinov’s heyday, when free energy was a utopia on the same level as that of the free market.
Alice Creischer (1960, Gerolstein, Germany) is an artist and curator whose artistic and theoretic agenda within institutional and economic critique has evolved over twenty years, recently focusing on the early history of capitalism and globalization. Recent solo exhibitions took place at The Wallach Art Gallery, New York; Galerie Wedding, Berlin; and Culturgest, Lisbon. She took part in the Kyiv Biennial 2015; Bergen Assembly 2013; 13th Istanbul Biennial; and Documenta 12, Kassel, among others. Her practice as cocurator of exhibitions such as The Potosí Principle (2010) correlates with her work as an artist and theorist. Creischer lives in Berlin.
