One of Xchange\u2019s main objectives was to create new formats of exhibiting which respond to contemporary society. And Carmen Loch\u2019s work \u201cStendhal Labor\u201d offered exactly that &#8211; a moment where art, chaos, hysteria and vehemence intersected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24857 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/energie2015-copy.jpg\" alt=\"energie2015 copy\" width=\"716\" height=\"487\" \/> Courtesy of the artist<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24858 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/laborleitung-copy.jpg\" alt=\"laborleitung copy\" width=\"716\" height=\"523\" \/> Courtesy of the artist<\/p>\n<p>In her one-day show, Loch wandered with ease around the recently converted gallery-cum-surgery in the heart of Kreuzberg. She was dressed in pale tones of greys and lilacs, a comforting cross between fashionable Scandinavian attire and typical lab wear. She stood amongst her assistants who glided over to the guests\/patients with caring smiles upon their faces.<\/p>\n<p>The initial ideas for \u201cStendhal Labor\u201d came from Lochs time in Cit\u00e9 des Arts, Paris, a residency programme she attended, where she became obsessed by the psychosomatic disorder know as Stendhal Syndrome. This disorder causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, confusion, hallucinations and can even result in long term dependency of anti-depressants. It can affect an individual when they are exposed to an experience of great personal significance, or immense natural beauty or &#8211; when viewing art. Initially Loch had toyed with the idea of allowing herself to take on the characteristics of the syndrome and declare herself to be in a state of ecstasy throughout the Paris art scene. In the end, she decided instead to seek those afflicted with the condition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24859 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/respiration-studio-copy.jpg\" alt=\"respiration-studio copy\" width=\"716\" height=\"466\" \/> Courtesy of the artist<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24860 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/sleeping-lab-copy.jpg\" alt=\"sleeping-lab copy\" width=\"716\" height=\"526\" \/> Courtesy of the artist<\/p>\n<p>Loch\u2019s early works act as a kind of schooling for her methods in \u201cStendhal labor\u201d. She has always been interested in medicine and psychology, for example, when she installed the \u201cRespiration studio\u201d in Paris or the \u201cSleeping laboratory\u201d in Nuremberg, where her viewers\/patients cited they had discovered ways of creating new worlds by using inter-subjective consciousness as a form of aesthetics. As Loch gathered methodology and procedures for her works she often contacted people working in the field of health and mental wellbeing, spending hours working alongside them and often swapping roles so they become her patients and vice-versa. Yet Loch was very direct in saying she didn\u2019t wish to reproduce or re-perform classic doctor-patient relationships, which is why she took a more auto analytical approach exploring all methods first on her own body before sharing it with others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24862 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/zeichnen2015-copy.jpg\" alt=\"zeichnen2015 copy\" width=\"716\" height=\"493\" \/> Courtesy of the artist<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24856 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/backview-copy.jpg\" alt=\"backview copy\" width=\"716\" height=\"494\" \/> Courtesy of the artist<\/p>\n<p>In \u201cStendhal labor\u201d one could encounter methods such as reanimating frequencies, olfactory stimuli, touch drawings, herbal elixirs and exercises in stress release. The \u201creanimating frequencies\u201d was an interesting piece coined and produced by Loch comprising a sound file of healing frequencies that reduce negativity in your body which work alongside to natural oils such as lavender and silver fir that were administered during the therapy. And it indeed had a positive effect on your personal sanctum, and helped you find a place of inner peace. Loch didn\u2019t just perform her remedies for an immediate reboot after the hustle and bustle of art berlin contemporary and too many free beers from the night before. Loch rightfully believes we are living in a world that is aesthetically overstimulated, and hence her show about personal concentration and de-acceleration came in at the right time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text by Penny Victoria Rafferty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More Berlin Art Week: <strong><a class=\"wpp-post-title\" title=\"\u2018Welcome to the Jungle\u2019 at KW \u2013 a Rewarding Experience\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/showroom\/2015\/09\/welcome-to-the-jungle-at-kw-a-rewarding-experience\/\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Welcome to the Jungle\u2019 at KW \u2013 a Rewarding Experience<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More Berlin Art Week: <strong><a title=\"There Is No Party Like the Sleek VIP Party\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/special-features\/2015\/09\/there-is-no-party-like-the-sleek-vip-party\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">There Is No Party Like the Sleek VIP Party<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courtesy of the artist This year Berlin Art Week introduced Xchange, a programme focusing on alternative working approaches outside of the large commercial galleries openings and fairs that invade the city over the course of a week. \u201cStendhal Labor\u201d was one of its projects, and it spanned over two sites known as Erratum and Vesselroom&#8230;.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":24866,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139],"tags":[1671,3300,2196,3301,3302],"class_list":["post-24854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","tag-berlin-art-week","tag-carmen-loch","tag-penny-victoria-rafferty","tag-stendhal-labor","tag-xchange"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Artist Carmen Loch offered Berlin Art Week the Ideal Detox Artist Carmen Loch offered Berlin Art Week the Ideal Detox<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/artist-carmen-loch-offered-berlin-art-week-the-ideal-detox\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Artist Carmen Loch offered Berlin Art Week the Ideal Detox Artist Carmen Loch offered Berlin Art Week the Ideal Detox\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Courtesy of the artist This year Berlin Art Week introduced Xchange, a programme focusing on alternative working approaches outside of the large commercial galleries openings and fairs that invade the city over the course of a week. \u201cStendhal Labor\u201d was one of its projects, and it spanned over two sites known as Erratum and Vesselroom....\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/artist-carmen-loch-offered-berlin-art-week-the-ideal-detox\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-09-23T08:38:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek team\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
