El Arbi Bouqdib Archive
The El Arbi Bouqdib Archive (EBA) is an inter- and transdisciplinary long-term project that, with its self-conception as a 'running' archive, questions standard practices of remembrance and preservation. Based on the estate of the mathematician, poet, Islamic mystic, and Quran researcher El Arbi Bouqdib, who was born in Morocco and passed away in Bremen in 2016, a collective and processually open archival procedure involves artists from various fields as well as scholars.
THESAURÓS
Gabriel & Schindele
GABRIEL is a tale and cosmos by performance artist Edwin W. Moes and art historian JMH Schindele. Since 2019 they are operating as the artist duo Gabriel & Schindele. The main character of this narrative is called Gabriel and is embodied by Moes.

Hilarion Manero
„Thanks to the constantly effective miracle assumed by myth, the waking day of a people who are stimulated by myth, as the ancient Greeks were, does indeed resemble dream more than it does the day of a thinker whose mind has been sobered by science. If, one day, any tree may speak as a nymph, or if a god can carry off virgins in the guise of a bull, if the goddess Athene herself is suddenly seen riding on a beautiful chariot in the company of Pisistratus through the market-places of Athens - and that was what the honest Athenian believed - then anything is possible at any time....."
A statement about the Mnemosyne project
"In Europe, history and a vision of the future are very closely linked. Europe‘s promise revolves around two decisive transformations:
1. From war to peace – from European history we learn that erstwhile mortal enemies become peacefully coexisting and closely cooperating neighbours.
2. From coercion to freedom – from European history we learn that dictatorships can become democracies.
In order to safeguard these values, the EU‘s indifferent phase must be followed by a phase of revival, emotion, renewal and engagement. The project Mnemosyne. In Search of the European Identity is heading in precisely this direction. We therefore support it wholeheartedly."
Prof. Dr. Aleida Assmann & Prof. Dr. Em. Jan Assmann

Handlungsbereitschaft
Bublitz first exhibition cycle in 2011 was Handlungsbereitschaft – Skizze einer Generation am Ende der Geschichte. [Readiness to Act – Draft of a Generation at the End of History]. In this series, the sketch and psychogram of the generation born between 1980 and 1990 were designed. This was achieved by means of the works and positions of about 60 artists and guests, as well as by integrating cultural artefacts and a comprehensive dialogue and supporting programme.
Mυθοποίηση – Mythopoesis III
Nachricht vom letzten Menschen
The Mythology of Michal Martychowiec
Runtime: 30th August – 11th Oktober 2020
Opening 29th August, 6 PM
curated by Julian M. H. Schindele
Nachricht vom letzten Menschen [Message from the Last Man] is an exploration of the symbolic sign cosmos and the new mythology of Michal Martychowiec. The two main protagonists of this exhibition, which can also be understood as a parable, are the figure of the incredulous St. Thomas and the figure of the "panda". The latter can be understood as the "last man", how he was prominently described, e.g. by Max Weber or Friedrich Nietzsche.
The exhibition is also the third part of the cycle "Mυθοποίηση - Mythopoesis," curated by Julian M. H. Schindele. It is interested in forms taken by actualization, variation, the invention of myths, and archetypal narratives today as well as their poetological analysis.
