Henrik Nieratschker

Henrik Nieratschker's (born 1990) artistic work deals with the social implications of our lives in the midst of digital infrastructure. In media installations, environments, and situations, as well as analogue and digital publication formats, Henrik Nieratschker combines a pragmatic-methodical approach of design with free, exploratory approaches of art. In his work he uses artistic, creative, and technical methods (video, graphics, sound, sculpture, electronics, programming, and much more) and provokes new insights that can hardly arise in other contexts.

He is co-founder of the artist collective and label Research and Waves, which since 2015 has developed record releases, exhibitions, and events.

His work has been shown in exhibition projects at GAK Bremen, Changing Room Berlin, Arebyte Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum London, and 3331 Arts Chiyoda Tokyo, among others. 
 

From October to December 2022, Henrik Nieratschker is a resident artist in the program Zu Gast bei Urbane Künste Ruhr at Haus der Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets Bochum.

Hamminkeln

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.

Hamminkeln by Erdem Teper

so müssen wohl die bäume über die menschen denken, 
der mensch ist ewig damit beschäftigt 
versteht, dass alles und jeder irgendwo
eins ist 
versteht, dass alles –  liebt und lacht und lebt in frieden existiert; stoa
versteht, dass es ist – ebenbild 
wenn mensch findet sich selbst 
vor uralten baumrinden 
ein wesen schaut das andere an, 
am ende haben beide einander
und somit sich selbst erkannt 
beide aus gerüst, beide aus haut 
nur dass der baum im wald sich zutraut
zurecht, dass er den menschen überlebt; 
während die zeit bereits 
das leichentuch des menschen webt 
und der baum schaut den menschen an, 
beide aus haut, rinde und knochen 
nur hat der neue mensch 
seine beziehung zur natur unterbrochen
