Artist Talk & Screening: Bethan Hughes, Elastic Continuum
Tue 13.1.2026, 19.30 – 21.30
ZFM Seminarraum, Muthesius Kunsthochschule, Kiel
Please join us for the artist talk with Bethan Hughes on Tuesday 13th Jan at 19.30 in the ZFM Seminar room. We are especially happy that the artist will be present on site for this event. Before the talk there will be a screening of her work An Elastic Continuum. The talk will be moderated by Annika Larsson.
Bethan Hughes creates audio-visual installations, sculptures and publications that explore social architectures and their aesthetic dimensions. Interweaving archival research and speculative narratives, she examines the unnatural ecologies generated through industry, commerce and technology.
Her work has been exhibited at venues including LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Gijón (SP), gnration, Braga (PT), Kunstpavillon, Innsbruck (AT), nGbK, Berlin (DE), Ars Electronica, Linz (AT), Haubrok Foundation, Berlin (DE), and HAUNT/frontviews, Berlin (DE). In 2023, she was a European Media Art Platform fellow and in 2024, she completed an Art & Ecology residency at the Museums Quartier in Vienna.
In 2025, she published her first monograph with K. Verlag, Berlin. Titled Elastic Continuum, it traces the material and symbolic transformations of a rubber-containing plant known as the Kazakh or Russian dandelion.
