Pi - π Projects
Mathias Kessler, Jakob S. Boeskov
The exhibition coming up on the 6th of September 2024 at Pi - π documents how the Center For Planetary Self Defense (artist duo Mathias Kessler and Jakob S. Boeskov) traveled to the Jakobshorn in January 2024 to install an art homage to Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich in the mountains above the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
To create the project, the artist transported all art materials by ski. The artists created the project from a base in a mountain hut at an altitude of 1800 meters, accessible only by ski lift. Visitors to the exhibition will see artifacts from the art expedition, as well as video, photographic, and detailed drawings chronicling the expedition and documentation. We're excited to show a humorous and novel project that celebrates the power of new thinking.
Visitors to the exhibition will see drawings, expedition outfits, photos, and the Orgon Device sculpture, which the artists installed in the snow-covered mountains during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The show will also feature a short video documenting the performance.
Wilhelm Reich, author of "The Mass Psychology of Fascism," was an Austrian psychoanalyst, inventor, and author of several books, including The Mass Psychology of Fascism. He escaped Austria in 1939 and later lived in Denmark, Norway, and finally Maine, USA. He died in jail in the USA in 1957.
