MOSI e.V., Museum of Superior Installation was first inaugerated in April 2024.
A specific space in the basement of Heinrich Buessing Hoefe, Wolfenbuetteler Strasse 31A, in Braunschweig, Germany is more than an exhibition space. It is a platform for space in the interdisciplinary field of contemporary art, a museum field, which offers various formats to involve viewers and accompany them in their creative participation. Its focus is diversity to shift sources, unleash materials to become objects in relation to the body and the conceptual and physical relation which each artist is involved with.
MOSI, Museum of Superior Installation has a shorter life story within a few speculative, long stories. The creation of a depository (in 2023) of old books, bones, stone collections, clothes, toys, furniture, works of art and antique printing machines from an indefinite time, from indefinite authors of the 20th century. What had been stored came to light, was sorted and organized and the remains became visible as the MOSI permanent inventory called the Depot.
The long history is based on Heinrich Buessing (born 1843 - died 1929), the “Buessing courtyards” in Braunschweig is a unique place of former mobility inventions with its own spatial landmark.
Dagmar I. Glausnitzer-Smith is co-founder of MOSI e.V. Chairwoman of the Executive Board. She is commited to the organisation of MOSI Weekend Events, MOSI Openings for Artists in Residency, the involvement and participation of Braunschweig’s regional artists and HBK students, international guest artists invitations, the curatorial and operational process for all exhibitions, Performance Events, International Workshops and the programme developement of new yearly projects.

Gilivanka Kedzior, born in Toulouse (France) in 1976, holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Institut Supérieur des Beaux-Arts of Besançon. She also graduated from the University Toulouse Jean Jaurès in Art History and in Psychology.
Her most recent works analyze the construction of meaning from the memory of an ephemeral event. Grouped under the title of Anatopisms, they develop in a collection of memories and - in reflection with it - in a series of actions, an installation and a performative exhibition of objects.

Konzept DE:
Der Künstler übernimmt die Leitung einer virtuellen Expedition und zeigt eine Partizipatorische Multimedia Installation für eine komplexe System Erfahrung.
Was ist ein System und wie ist es erfahrbar?
In der Interaktion ist der Besucher verwoben mit den vorhandenen Sammlungen, Materialien und Objekten aus dem MOSI Archiv,
die zu Exponaten heranwachsen und vernetzt sind mit generierten Metadaten.
Das kuratorische Modell bezieht sich auf multiplikative Feldversuche, das heißt partizipatorisches und aktives -DaSein -.
Als ob damit eine Situation geschaffen wird, die auf verschiedene Ebenen eine gleichzeitige Denk-und Wahrnehmungsstruktur
öffnet mit dem Hinweis da zu sein: das intuitive Gespür der individuellen Sinnesfähigkeiten wird gereizt und angesprochen.
Diese freizulegen und dem Besucher zu präsentieren, unterliegen der künstlerischen Freiheit und dem Experiment.
Es gibt keine passive Zuschauerschaft.
PVRx_MoSi_2024 ist eine komplexe System Erfahrung. ID_739762 schafft im Museum of Superior Installation eine Schwelle zur virtuellen Realitaet. Physisches verwebt sich mit dem Virtuellem im Bild und im Denken. Den Betrachtenden werden fragmentierte Elemente aus dem Mosi Depot gezeigt, die sich verzögert reintegrieren.
concept EN:
The artist offers to conduct a virtual expedition which is being presented as a Participatory Multimedia Installation for a complex system experience
What is a system? How can a system be experienced?
During the process of interactivity, the visitor is interwoven with the existing collections, materials and objects,
which have grown into exhibits and are connected to related Meta Data. The curatorial model refers to multiplicative,
like integrative and active role of -being - on different levels and possible positions and perception processes: intuitive sense of
individual sensory abilities are stimulated and addressed.
Exposure and presentation is subject to artistic freedom and experimentation. There is no passive viewership.
The exhibtion entitled PVRx_MoSi_2024 is a complex experience and journey in the attempt to probe how to become part of a system.
ID_739762, the author creates a threshold to virtual reality in the MOSI exhibition space.
The physical appearances are interwoven with the computer-generated simulations.
Viewers are shown reintegrated fragmented elements of the MOSI depot.

Willkommen und Einweihung - MOSI, Museum of Superior Installation
MOSI Museum of Superior Installation wird eröffnet erstmalig am 12. April 2024 im Zusammenhang mit dem Ausstellungs-Event-Wochenende WERFT FRUCTUS
Positionen der geladenen regionalen und internationalen Künstler:innen verbindet ein virtuelles Ideen/Gedanken-Gebäude, bei dem die Fassaden längst verfallen sind und sich ungeahnte ‚Geist-Räume‘ auftun.
Jedes der ausgestellten Werke und ihre Situationen umreißen eine einzigartige Gedankenwelt, hervorgebracht mit einer starken, visuellen Präsentation im Moment des Betrachtens. Hier begegnen die Werke einer längst aufgegebenen Beachtung für den ‚geschliffenen‘ Galeriemodus, und sind konfrontiert mit der einzigartigen Konstellation des „Basements“ und dem markanten Environment (Umfeld) des MOSI.
Fragen in der Performance und im Zusammenhang mit neuen Installationen werden während einer ersten Artist-in-Residence gestellt, die sich eine Woche lang vor dem Eröffnungswochenende WERFT FRUCTUS mit dem Fundus des MOSI auseinandersetzt.
Am Event Wochenende gewinnt der Betrachter Einblick in Situationen des Bisherigen und der Situation im JETZT.
Deutliche Zeichen sind gesetzt über das – Was war und was ist – und Zeichen als Bilder, bewegt, verändert oder still münden in die Ausstellung und Inauguration des MOSI.
EN: Welcome and Inaugauration - MOSI Museum of Superior Installation
The MOSI (Museum of Superior Installation) opens for the first time on April 12, 2024, in conjunction with the exhibition and event weekend "WERFT FRUCTUS."
The works of the invited regional and international artists are linked by a virtual structure of ideas and thoughts—a building whose facades have long since crumbled, revealing unexpected "spaces of the mind."
Each exhibited work and its specific setting outlines a unique conceptual world, brought to life through a powerful visual presentation at the moment of viewing. Here, the artworks encounter a setting that has long since abandoned the conventions of the "polished" gallery mode, confronting instead the unique configuration of the "basement" and MOSI’s distinctive environment.
Questions regarding performance and new installations are explored during an initial artist-in-residency, which involves engaging with MOSI’s existing collections for the week leading up to the WERFT FRUCTUS Exhibition and MOSI opening weekend.
During the event weekend, visitors gain insight into both the history of the space and its current appearance in recognition of notions of historical collections and museum-like displays.
Clear markers are set regarding "what was" and "what is," while signs - manifesting as images are moving, transforming, or culminating into the exhibition and inauguration of MOSI.
