The CargoSpaceGallery engages with the central questions of the project title PREPARED // REVIVED: experiment, further development, transformation. Is everything prepared — or nothing? Everything revived? Not yet resurrected — or already alive? 

​

During LP26, the cultural cargo vessel Lorin becomes a walkable space for sound, image, installation and perception. The CargoSpaceGallery is the continuously accessible visual and spatial format.​

Nathan Gruno

Nathan Gruno Nathan Gruno presents his current work Ankerpunkt – the Little Boat, a kinetic sculpture conceived as a model for a larger project currently in development. A small metal boat is installed on a mechanical base and can be set in motion by a crank. It begins to move rhythmically — as if drifting on invisible water. Accompanying the work, a message-in-a-bottle intervention invites visitors to leave thoughts, wishes and messages. In this way, a growing archive of voices emerges.
The work understands itself as a work in progress between construction, imagination and lived experience.

Corentin Boubay
In the cargo space of the cultural vessel Lorin, Corentin Boubay’s video installation explores the dialogue between two grand pianos.
Macroscopic projections of the strings transform the architecture of the instruments into a vibrating resonant space.
A connection between chamber music and digital arts that makes the mechanical intimacy and the raw trembling of sound visible.

Anmari Mëtsa Yabi Wili

Part of the CargoSpaceGallery is the continuously evolving water installation from LP25, which keeps developing in unpredictable ways and may by now even have given rise to new life forms. It shapes the space as a walk-through art installation. The accompanying sound installation is created by Anmari Mëtsa Yabi Wili specifically for LP26, bringing together sounds, recordings, memories and resonances of the cultural cargo vessel Lorin into an immersive spatial listening experience.
Guido Wasser’s photographic work girl with bullet earring appears occasionally in the space in the form of applied art — a subtle reference to Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring in the colours of Ukraine.​
