Peer to space’s curator Peggy Schoenegge curates the solo show PORTRAIT OF A FUTURE. of the artist Charlie Stein. The exhibition takes place at PRISKA PASQUER’s virtual gallery space as a part of the ONE TO ONE exhibition series from March 10 to April 6, 2021, followed by a solo exhibition at the gallery’s premises in Cologne, Germany later this year.
The exhibition title PORTRAIT OF A FUTURE is derived from Charlie Stein’s series Portrait Of A Future Self (2019-2021). The female robots free themselves from the constraints of their intended purposes and turn both gender clichés and the relationships between humans and machines on their heads. In light of the increasing significance of robot technologies in our daily lives, questions emerge about their social functions. Robots are produced by humans and therefore shaped by our norms and values. Charlie Stein's works open up the opportunity for reflection. In the future, will we continue to reproduce stereotypical role models in the machines we are creating? Or do we have a desire to change and develop a more open, diverse and fair existence to shape our future?
