KATYA SANDER
My work is about production of social imaginaries through production of spectatorship – or what could also be described as circulation of both images as well as the bodies these images address, depict and exclude. It often involves questions of address, desire and language in relation to architecture, public space, speech, view, landscape, abstraction and power.

‘It’s a legal black hole’
Susan Mansfield meets the artists behind a newshow marking the tenth anniversary of Guantanamo Bay
NOT all birthdays are celebrations. The tenth anniversary of the detention centre at GuantanamoBay might have gone unnoticed altogether were it not for human rights campaigners keen to draw attention to the fact that it still exists. Opened in January 2002 to house those suspected of being connected to terrorism, it has long been criticised for holding prisoners without trial. Since it opened, the detention centre, on a US military base in Cuba, has seen 779 men pass through its doors. It currently holds 171 prisoners. In most cases, we don’t know the reasons why they are detained there. In some, we don’t even know their names.

n.b.k Video Of The Month: Exterior City
neue berliner kunstverein: In 2010, the series Video Of The Month, curated by Kathrin Becker, presented international artists from outside the collection. In 2011, selected works of the n.b.k. collection can be seen online here. For the month of March, Exterior City by Katya Sander is chosen.
The emphasis is placed on young video art from Berlin that reflects the international art scene, and thematically underscores the emphases of the collection. Parallel to the presentation on the website, Video Of The Month will also be screened in the space of Video-Forum.

THE MANY LIVES OF IMAGES
@ THE SANDBERG SERIES # 1
The Sandberg Series is an ongoing lecture series initiated by the new Master of Fine Arts program at the Sandberg Instituut in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut, Amsterdam.
The speakers in the first series are: Goldin + Senneby (SE), Celine Condorelli (United Kingdom), Katya Sander (DE) and Raimundas Malasauskas (LT).
Hard Drive: An Experiment in intervisuality
What images are on your computer? Do you know what they look like out of context? What might an image outside its context be? What is the context of an image, and how would we define the framework in which an image gains its meaning? And, ultimately, what image of readers and users is produced if those images are understood in terms of the “image archive” or “image history” they’ve accumulated?
Hard Drive is an art-project & intervention into the online magazine Red Hook, published by CCS Bard. Project curated by Tirdad Zolgadr and Jaime Baird.
To see the piece, you have to enter several articles and re-enter on several different computers. You will get different images illustrating the texts. Find out why and more on Red Hook.
A Landscape of Known Facts
Circular video-recordings of painted panoramas.
A Landscape of Known Facts transforms the gallery into a circular space with a projector in the middle, turning slowly on it’s own axis. The landscapes of the video are projected as from a lighthouse; a beam that scans the circular room in a slow, continuous, 360 degree revolution.
