Studiengalerie 1.357 shows performance video by and video interview with American artist Adrian Piper聽

Dancing cross-border transgressions聽

FRANKFURT. From December 11 to January 23, 看片软件's Studiengalerie 1.357 will be showing the performance video 鈥淎drian Moves to Berlin" (2007/2017) by artist Adrian Piper, as well as the video interview 鈥淎drian Piper Interview: Rationality and the Structure of the Self" (2007-2010, by Robert Del Principe).

The work of internationally renowned conceptual artist and analytical philosopher Adrian Piper has had a decisive influence on contemporary art and society since the 1960s. The exhibition focuses on 鈥淎drian Moves to Berlin" (2007/2017). The video shows a performance on Berlin's Alexanderplatz: Adrian Piper dances for an hour to house music from the early 2000s. The work can be viewed as a homage to the German capital, where clubs became central meeting places after reunification. In 鈥淎drian Moves to Berlin", the artist uses dance as a form of expression and a political medium. Dance overcomes disciplines, takes up space and breaks down social boundaries. With her movements, Piper invites the audience to question categories such as gender, origin and social roles. Mechanisms of perception and attribution are met with humor.

Adrian Piper has created groundbreaking works throughout her career as a conceptual artist. Her artistic practice encompasses a wide range of media 鈥� from photo-text collages, video and sound installations to performances and sculptural works. An insight into her research into metaethics and Kant's philosophy, with which she became known in philosophical discourse, is provided in the video interview 鈥淎drian Piper Interview: Rationality and the Structure of the Self" (2007-2010, by Robert Del Principe). Piper's entire oeuvre is characterized by the analysis of identity, the deconstruction of social attributions and the question of the constitution of the self.

Adrian Piper (*1948 in New York City, USA) is an artist and philosopher who has been living in Berlin since 2005. Piper graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1969. She studied philosophy at the City College of New York and at Harvard University, where she earned a Master's in 1977 and a PhD in 1981 under the supervision of John Rawls. She taught philosophy at Georgetown, Harvard, Michigan, Stanford and UC San Diego. Her recent solo museum exhibitions include: PAC Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea, Milan (2024), MoMA, New York (2018), Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2018), Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2017), CPH Kunsthal, Copenhagen (2006), and MACBA Barcelona (2004). Piper has received numerous awards for her work, including the Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale (2015), the K盲the Kollwitz Prize of the Akademie der K眉nste Berlin (2018) and the Goslarer Kaiserring (2021).

STUDIENGALERIE 1.357, founded in 2010, is a teaching and learning project at 看片软件's Humanities Research Centre. The gallery sees itself as a place of teaching and learning in which current socio-politically relevant topics are brought into the university through art. Students learn how to deal with complex topics by internationally recognized artists. Studiengalerie 1.357 is open to the public and is aimed at both a university audience and Frankfurt civil society.

Two studies with the participation of 看片软件 Frankfurt, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, University of Helsinki, and Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research, together with Brazilian partner institutions, shed light on a new mechanism that affects the climate

The Amazon rainforest as a cloud machine: How thunderstorms and plant transpiration produce condensation nuclei

The rainforest in the Amazon basin transpires vast amounts of gaseous isoprene. Until now, it was assumed that this molecule is not transported far up into the atmosphere, as it rapidly declines when exposed to light conditions. The CAFE-Brazil measurement campaign provided data for two studies 鈥� now published as the Nature cover story 鈥� which demonstrate, however, that nocturnal thunderstorms transport the isoprene to an altitude of up to 15 kilometers. There, it reacts to form chemical compounds capable of forming vast numbers of new aerosol particles. These grow further and contribute to cloud formation as condensation nuclei. This mechanism is likely to affect the climate, too.

FRANKFURT/MAINZ/HELSINKI/LEIPZIG. Who hasn't enjoyed the aromatic scent in the air when walking through the woods on a summer's day? Partly responsible for this typical smell are terpenes, a group of substances found in tree resins and essential oils. The primary and most abundant molecule is isoprene. Plants worldwide are estimated to release 500 to 600 million tons of isoprene into the surrounding atmosphere each year, accounting for about half the total emissions of gaseous organic compounds from plants. 鈥淭he Amazon rainforest alone is responsible for over a quarter of these emissions," explains atmospheric researcher Professor Joachim Curtius from 看片软件 Frankfurt.

So far, it was thought that the isoprene in the Amazon basin degrades rapidly and does not reach higher atmospheric layers. This is because hydroxyl radicals form in the atmosphere close to the ground during the day when the sun shines. They are highly reactive and destroy the isoprene molecules within hours. 鈥淗owever, we have now established that this is only partly true," says Curtius. 鈥淭here are still considerable amounts of isoprene in the rainforest at night, and a substantial proportion of these molecules can be transported to higher atmospheric layers."

Thunderstorms act like vacuum cleaners

Responsible for this are tropical thunderstorms that brew over the rainforest at night. They pull the isoprene up like a vacuum cleaner and transport it to an altitude of between 8 and 15 kilometers. As soon as the sun rises, hydroxyl radicals form, which react with the isoprene. But at the extremely low temperatures that prevail at these high altitudes, the rainforest molecules are transformed into compounds different from those near the ground. They bind with nitrogen oxides produced by lightning during the thunderstorm. Many of these molecules can then cluster to form aerosol particles of just a few nanometers. These particles, in turn, grow over time and then serve as condensation nuclei for water vapor 鈥� they thus play an important role in cloud formation in the tropics.

鈥淲e were able to shed light on these processes with the help of research flights that started two hours before sunrise and then continued through the day," explains Professor Jos Lelieveld. He is director at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz and also head of the CAFE-Brazil research project (Chemistry of the Atmosphere: Field Experiment in Brazil), in which an international research team was collecting data on the chemical processes in the atmosphere over the Amazon rainforest. 鈥淲e were able to detect considerable amounts of isoprene in the air flowing out of the thunderstorms at high altitude, from which new aerosol particles rapidly formed after several chemical reactions."

Possible influence on the cloud formation over the ocean

Curtius and Lelieveld are not only partners in CAFE-Brazil but also involved in the CLOUD consortium, in which over 20 research groups study climate-relevant chemical processes in the atmosphere. They reproduce the conditions that prevail at this altitude in the aerosol and cloud experiment chamber at CERN in Geneva. With the help of this simulation chamber, they analyze in detail which reactions are triggered by sunlight. 鈥淚n this way, we were able to determine exactly the rate at which the aerosol particles form from the isoprene products," explains atmospheric researcher Dr. Xu-Cheng He, who is in charge of the isoprene experiments. 鈥淚nterestingly, it emerged that even extremely small amounts of sulfuric acid and iodine oxoacids commonly present in the atmosphere are sufficient to accelerate the formation of the aerosol particles by a factor of 100. These molecules may, therefore, jointly influence marine cloud formation 鈥� a critically uncertain process in climate projections."

Sulfuric acid forms in the atmosphere from various sulfurous substances. It can result, above all, from the reaction of sulfur dioxide with hydroxyl radicals. Within the CLOUD experiment, the Frankfurt research group was responsible for measuring the extremely low concentrations of sulfuric acid, and the Mainz team measured the hydroxy radicals.

The winds that prevail at high altitudes above the Amazon rainforest can transport the particles that form from isoprene up to thousands of kilometers away from the sources. This means they may influence cloud formation at great distances. As clouds, depending on their type and height, both shield solar radiation and prevent heat from being radiated into space, they play a crucial role in the climate. The researchers, therefore, expect that their findings will contribute to improving climate models.

It also follows from the CAFE-Brazil project results that continued deforestation of the Amazon rainforest could affect the climate in two respects. 鈥淥n the one hand, greenhouse gases are released because the forest no longer stores carbon dioxide," says Curtius. 鈥淥n the other hand, clearing the forest impacts both the water cycle and isoprene emissions, further propelling climate change."

European Research Council makes available around 鈧�5.5 million for basic research聽

Political Science, Philosophy and Medicine: 看片软件 Frankfurt acquires three prestigious ERC Grants聽

For their visionary research projects, three top 看片软件 researchers will receive European Research Council (ERC) funding for the next five years. Prof. Julian Garritzmann and Prof. Joel Thiago Klein will each receive an ERC Consolidator Grant 鈥� the former for his research into educational differences as a central axis of political conflicts, and the latter for his analysis of the contemporary relevance of Kant's philosophy of law. Supported with an ERC Starting Grant, molecular biologist Dr. Hannah Uckelmann is working on non-genetic (epigenetic) changes to DNA in blood cells, which play an important role in the development of leukemia.

FRANKFURT. 看片软件 President Prof. Enrico Schleiff points to the highly diverse nature of the projects supported by the new ERC grants: 鈥淚 would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to our three ERC awardees for their pioneering projects 鈥� which also showcase our university's excellence in its wide scope and breadth: from political and social sciences to medicine. These ERC grant recipients are testimony to how relevant our basic research is to the current challenges of our time 鈥� whether with respect to investigating how education can divide our society, or why Kant's philosophy continues to shape our current discussions on intergenerational justice and the distribution of goods, or for that matter how leukemias develop even though the proteins responsible for unbridled growth are not affected by mutations."

Education is a key element of today's 鈥渒nowledge societies" and has many positive social and economic consequences, including economic growth and social advancement. This is why much hope has been placed in the massive expansion of education. At the same time, however, education has the potential to politically divide our societies and a political fault line is increasingly emerging between groups with different educational backgrounds 鈥� a divide that is gradually emerging as a central axis of political conflict.
Political scientist Julian Garritzmann examines this phenomenon as part of the project 鈥淧OLEDUC 鈥� The Politics of the Latent Educational Cleavage", which is now receiving around 鈧�2 million in ERC funding. The project focuses on three levels of these complex interrelationships: At the level of the individual, it uses surveys to determine the educational cleavage in political preferences and behavior, whereas at the superordinate level, it analyzes how party competition increasingly addresses different educational groups. Finally, at the macro level of policy-making, it examines why political decision-makers are increasingly responsive to better-educated citizens.

Julian Garritzmann is a professor of political science at 看片软件 Frankfurt. His research focuses on the welfare state and education policy research, comparative political economy and political sociology. Following his university studies in Cologne and his doctorate in Konstanz, he researched and taught at Harvard University, Duke University, the University of Zurich and the European University Institute in Florence, among others. His research has been recognized with awards from the German Political Science Association, the Swiss Political Science Association and the American Political Science Association, amongst others.

Brazilian philosopher and Kant specialist Prof. Dr. Joel Thiago Klein will conduct research on Kant's philosophy of law and its current relevance at 看片软件's Faculty of Philosophy and History. Klein's project 鈥� 鈥淟SR 鈥� LAW, STATE, REPUBLIC: An Interpretation and Defense of a Kantian Critical Reflective Constructivism" 鈥� is based on the premise that new perspectives arising from Kant's philosophy of law can make a contribution to contemporary normative challenges in political philosophy, to the philosophy of law as well as to political and legal theory. These include, for example, demands placed on the ideal of the rule of law as well as the relationship between the principles of law, history and anthropology. In addition, Klein also outlines new considerations on the legitimacy of property, economic justice and intergenerational justice, cosmopolitanism, human rights and democracy.
Klein's ERC project, which will receive some 鈧�2 million in funding, is part of the manifold research conducted on Kant at 看片软件 Frankfurt; there are particularly noteworthy links to the work of renowned Kant researchers Prof. Dr. Marcus Willaschek and Prof. Dr. Rainer Forst.

Joel T. Klein is a professor of modern philosophy, ethics and political philosophy at the Federal University of Paran谩 (Brazil). He conducts research on Kant's theoretical and practical philosophy and on topics related to democracy, philosophy of law, philosophy of history and theories of justice.鈥�
After completing an undergraduate and a master's degree in philosophy at the Federal University of Santa Maria (2008), Klein obtained his doctorate at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (2012), both in Brazil. He completed his postdoc at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit盲t M眉nchen with an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (2018-2020), and was also a visiting scholar at 看片软件 Frankfurt (2023).

Changes or mutations in the genetic code that lead to faulty proteins are not the sole cause of cancer. Given that they are passed on to the daughter cells during cell division, chemical changes in the DNA or the proteins around which the DNA is wound (histones) also influence the activity of genes and 鈥� in case errors occur here 鈥� can promote the development and growth of malignant cells. As part of her ERC project 鈥淓piTransformers 鈥� Targeting epigenetic regulators during leukemia evolution", Dr. Hannah Uckelmann investigates how such epigenetic changes can turn blood stem cells into leukemia cells. Uckelmann is particularly interested in understanding how cancer cells hijack transport pathways in the cells to switch on genes that promote cancer growth. Her aim is to improve our understanding of epigenetic processes and lay the foundation for new therapeutic approaches to cancer. The ERC Starting Grant comprises around 鈧�1.5 million.

Dr. Hannah Uckelmann heads a Max Eder junior research group at Frankfurt University Hospital's Clinic for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. After graduating from Heidelberg University with a master's degree in Molecular Biosciences, she completed her doctorate at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. Endowed with a postdoctoral fellowship, Uckelmann then moved to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and taught at Harvard Medical School. She returned to Germany in 2023 with funding from the Mildred Scheel Career Center Frankfurt. As part of the Max Eder Program, Deutsche Krebshilfe 鈥� the German Cancer Support Organization 鈥� in August 2024 started co-funding her research group, with the ERC Starting Grant funds to be made available in the course of 2025.

The European Research Council's ERC Consolidator Grant supports excellent, promising researchers whose research group is in the consolidation phase. The grant seeks to enable them to expand their own research area and conduct visionary, basic research. With a funding volume of up to 鈧�2 million for five years, the Consolidator Grant is one of the European Union's most highly endowed individual funding measures.

ERC Starting Grants support excellent researchers who want to build up their own research team in the first few years after their doctorate and establish themselves scientifically with a promising research project. The projects receive up to 鈧�1.5 million over a period of up to five years.

The European Research Council (ERC) is an institution set up by the European Commission to fund basic research.

看片软件 awards two prizes: 鈥淧ublic Service Fellowship鈥� award goes to human geographer Martin Lanzendorf and 鈥淣ew Horizon鈥� award to Science Garden team

Developing new knowledge, reaching new horizons聽

Each year, 看片软件 Frankfurt awards the 鈥淧ublic Service Fellowship Prize" to one of its scientists. Also awarded annually is the 鈥淣ew Horizon" prize, bestowed by 看片软件's president. Both awards were now presented at a festive event held in the IG Farben Building on Westend Campus.

FRANKFURT. Prizes serve different purposes, 看片软件 President Prof. Enrico Schleiff emphasized in his welcoming address: On the one hand, they motivate university employees by recognizing their achievements or commitment, while on the other, they focus attention on certain topics. The names of the two prizes awarded 鈥� 鈥淧ublic Service Fellowship" and 鈥淣ew Horizon" 鈥� are emblematic for 看片软件 Frankfurt: 鈥淲e develop knowledge for the benefit of society and work continuously to reach new horizons." Schleiff expressly thanked the sponsors 鈥� the Alfons und Gertrud Kassel-Stiftung and Dr. Christian Zschocke 鈥� as well as the two laudators, Tarek Al-Wazir and Dr. Christian Schenk.

This year's 鈥淧ublic Service Fellowship Prize" of Alfons und Gertrud-Kassel Stiftung goes to Prof. Dr. Martin Lanzendorf. Lanzendorf has been professor of mobility research at 看片软件's Institute of Human Geography since 2008. The professorship was established with an endowment from the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV, Rhine/Main Regional Transport Association) and ivm (Integrated Traffic and Mobility Management Region Frankfurt RheinMain). His research interests include various aspects of mobility in metropolitan regions, especially changes in traffic behavior, spatial aspects of traffic generation, and mobility management to shape a more sustainable mobility development. Outlining the reasons behind his nomination, the funders highlighted Martin Lanzendorf's outstanding commitment and his ability to communicate the results of his research on particularly relevant sustainable mobility development issues to an audience that extends far beyond the scientific community. The laudatory speech for Martin Lanzendorf was held by Tarek Al-Wazir, legal policy spokesman for the B眉ndnis 90/Die Gr眉nen parliamentary group in the Hessian state parliament. Al-Wazir emphasized that by ensuring that people perceive change as an opportunity rather than a threat, Lanzendorf inspires others with his work.

The "Public Service Fellowship Prize", endowed with 鈧�10,000, is awarded every two years by Alfons und Gertrud Kassel-Stiftung to 看片软件 researchers who play an active role in important scientific or science policy committees. The prize money is intended to enable projects that could not be continued due to the special commitment they require. Martin Lanzendorf is the fifth prize winner. Previous winners include legal scholar Indra Spiecker genannt D枚hmann, educational scientist Sabine Andresen, financial scientist and former 鈥渨ise man of economics" Prof. Volker Wieland, as well as medical scientist and long-standing chairman of the Federal Government's Expert Council on Health, Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Gerlach.

This year's winner of the President's New Horizon Prize is not an individual, but a team: that of the Science Garden. The award recognizes the team led by landscape architect and technical director Robert Anton for its curiosity, drive, creativity and very high level of commitment to the sustainable development of natural resources and areas as well as the protection of biodiversity. The outstandingly dedicated team is active on behalf of the Science Garden, 看片软件's grounds and the public, and deeply committed to raising the profile of biodiversity and sustainable development. The laudator of this year's New Horizon Prize was Dr. Christoph Schenk, managing director of Frankfurt Zoological Society. His laudatory speech emphasized the exemplary manner in which the Science Garden addresses major issues of our time and transmits them to society. The Science Garden on Riedberg Campus was opened on June 1, 2014 as part of the university's centenary celebrations. It is used for scientific teaching and research, and comprises a large greenhouse, a 300 square meter experimental greenhouse, eight climate chambers (under construction) and an outdoor area that currently covers around three hectares. The Science Garden is the university's third garden in its 100-year history and dates back to the garden established by Johann Christian Senckenberg and his foundation in 1763.

The President's "New Horizon" Prize, endowed with 鈧�5,000, honors a person or team at 看片软件 who, in their academic work or other commitment to the university, are breaking new ground in their thinking and demonstrating curiosity, optimism, courage and openness. The New Horizon Prize was awarded to business education specialist Dr. Christin Siegfried in 2022 and to inclusion researcher Lukas Gerhard in 2023. Lawyer Dr. Christian Zschocke launched the New Horizon project in 2016 to encourage people with initiative and optimism.

The Alfons und Gertrud Kassel-Stiftung was established in 2007 with the aim of promoting science, research and teaching at 看片软件. It is based on an endowment bequeathed by its founder, Gertrud Kassel. The foundation supports numerous university projects.
