Nicole L'Huillier - Rehearsal Room

Exhibition Opening

On April 23, 2026, Rehearsal Room opens at the Schering Stiftung Project Space, marking the first solo exhibition of the Chilean, Berlin-based artist Nicole L’Huillier in Berlin. Rehearsal Room is conceived as a kind of sleep laboratory and immersive experiential space, focusing on acoustics, technology, and resonance. The exhibition explores embodied listening and an openness to unconscious processes and phenomena.

We warmly invite you to the exhibition opening, which will begin at 6 pm with welcoming remarks by Dr. Jörg Maxton-Küchenmeister and Dr. Christina Landbrecht.

Nicole L'Huillier: Rehearsal Room 

Exhibition — April 24 – July 05, 2026

Rehearsal Room acts as both a sleep laboratory and an immersive space, centered on acoustic and vibrational elements.

Nicole L’Huillier (b. 1985) is a transdisciplinary artist and researcher from Santiago, Chile. Her practice centers on exploring sounds and vibrations as construction materials to delve into questions of agency, identity, collectivity, and the activation of a vibrational imagination. Her work materializes through installations, sonic/vibrational sculptures, custom-made (listening and/or sounding) apparatuses, performances, experimental compositions, membranal poems, and writing. She holds a Ph.D. in Media Arts & Sciences from MIT (2022). Her work has been shown at the 36th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts (2025), 14a Bienal do Mercosul (2025), 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia (2024), Tabakalera Donostia (2025), Kunsthalle Bern (2024), Ming Contemporary Art Museum (McaM), Shanghai (2023), ifa-Gallery Stuttgart (2023), Bienal de Artes Mediales Santiago (2023, 2021, 2019, 2017), Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (2022), transmediale, Berlin (2022), Ars Electronica, Linz (2022, 2019, 2018), Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MAC), Santiago de Chile (2022), 6th Ural Industrial Biennale, Ekaterinburg (2021), and 16th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia (2018), among others.

Nicolas Sanchez aka Nyksan is a Bogotá-born, London-based sound artist and producer who leans toward the adventurous end of the sonic spectrum. He works primarily with mutant electronics, bass technologies, ambient music, drone and experimental sound practices.

Under the Colombian Drone Mafia moniker, his work focuses on the intersection of synthesis and field recordings, creating immersive sonic spaces that operate between unconventional and primitive structures. His compositions weave through atonal layers of texture and timbre, generating a constant tension between memory and dream territories.

He is also the co-founder of TraTraTrax, a key Latin American label and platform dedicated to amplifying cutting-edge electronic music erupting from Sur América and the Global South.

Adam Haar Horowitz, PhD, is a neuroscientist, designer, and founder of DUST, the company pioneering the field of Dream Engineering. His research explores how dreams shape memory, creativity, emotion, and wellbeing, and how emerging technology can safely and meaningfully interface with the sleeping mind.

Adam holds a PhD from MIT, where he co-created the first targeted dream-incubation devices at the Media Lab’s Fluid Interfaces Group. He is jointly affiliated with the Dream Engineering Lab at Université de Montréal’s Department of Psychiatry and Harvard Medical School’s Center for Sleep and Cognition. His work bridges neuroscience, mental health, and culture, appearing in Nature, Science, The New York Times, BBC, NPR, Stanford HAI, and global art institutions such as the MIT Museum, LUMA, Tribeca, and CPH:DOX. Through DUST, Adam leads a multidisciplinary team building tools that help people explore, understand, and shape their inner landscape through the science of dreams.
