About

Vasl’s resident artist Johannes Paul Raether hosted a performative lecture through the collaboration of Vasl Artist’s Association with the Goethe-Institut Pakistan on the Vasl rooftop. Raether lives and works in Berlin, Germany. His works are constructed identities (Avatars, Alter-Identities or Self Sisters) emerging at various sites in public spaces in order to research, educate and story tell. As colourful beings made up from everyday objects, they discuss complex topics as bio and reproductive industries, globalised tourism or occult substances in regard to contemporary technology. Raether’s works and performances have been showcased at numerous public spaces and eminent art galleries, globally. Raether publishes in Texte zur Kunst and is currently a professor at the arts academy, Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf.
