Murat Adash

Museum of Angewandte Kunst | Frankfurt am Main, Germany

SAHA provides production support for Murat Adash’s work within the scope of a collaborative exhibition project between the Max Planck Institute and the Museum of Angewandte Kunst. As a guest artist at the presentation of the second iteration of the artist-in-residence programme INHABIT, Adash along with Céline Berger and Syowia Kyambi showcases works the artists developed or are still developing during their residencies as per the context of the scientific research institute. The title Contact Zones refers to the approach to a different culture of knowledge and the challenge of forging a dialogue between the artistic and the scientific field and formulating a common language as well as connecting factors. The exhibition can be visited between 7 October 2022 - 15 January 2023.

Murat Adash is an artist and researcher working across live performance, moving image, sound, installation and writing. Through a performance- and movement-based practice, Murat creates choreographies in a range of media that seek to explore the ephemeral nature of physical boundaries – particularly regarding the dynamic edges between bodies and the spaces in which they come together. Beyond the idea of animal or insect mimicry, Murat has been developing a performative research body that rethinks the phenomenon of camouflage as a spatial act, a process through which the self is negotiated in and through space – processes that are intrinsic to choreography as well.
