TACTICS & MYTHOLOGIES
by Andrea Orejarena & Caleb Stein


at PHOXXI, Deichtorhallen Hamburg
7 September 2024 - 26 January 2025



TACTICS & MYTHOLOGIES is the first European solo exhibition by the New York duo Andrea Orejarena and Caleb Stein and presents a photographic road trip through the visual worlds of viral conspiracy theories from September 7, 2024 to January 26, 2025. ⁠ TACTICS & MYTHOLOGIES will also be the first show at the PHOXXI curated by Nadine Isabelle Henrich as a new curator of photography at Deichtorhallen Hamburg.⁠

Orejarena & Stein's photographic and filmic works deal with simulation techniques and narratives of disinformation. In reaction to the growing distrust in the distinction between reality and fiction that characterizes the present, the duo began an exploratory journey through social media and photography in 2020.⁠ They have created an initial archive of over 1.500 photographs and current visual forms that manifests the influence of conspiracy narratives on American society and individual perception.⁠

This archive of photographic forms of “alternative facts” engages in dialogue with landscape photographs by Orejarena and Stein in the installation “American Glitch”, which documents and decodes the supposed locations of conspiratorial events. By embracing traditions such as road trips and street photography, American Glitch interweaves continuities from American photographic history with the new phenomena of contemporary online culture.⁠ (Click here for more information)

Gangwon International Triennale 2024
Ecological Art from Beneath


26 September - 27 October 2024




The upcoming Gangwon International Triennale 2024 is the completion of a three-year event under the theme ‘High Land of Art, Pyeongchang.’ It will take place in the beautiful fall in Pyeongchang, where Woljeongsa Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, is located. Inspired by the symbolic meanings of ant tunnels, known for their alternative, microscopic perspective, and the organic social structure of anti-communities, this year’s Triennale seeks to look at ecological art from the perspective of shifting attitudes, entailing the redefinition of the relationships between humans and nature, humans and humans, and the local and the global.

This year, our artist, who is also at the same time an Independent curator, Richard Streitmatter-Tran has been joining the curatorial team. Alongside this great news, three of our artists, Ngoc Nau, Bui Cong Khanh and Le Phi Long will be joining the lineup with other international artist on this triennale. We are excited to update you more details about the artwork presenting by them.
