Wed, 6 Sep 18-23h at Camp Space IS IT NO MORE  BEAUTIFUL THAN THAT?   Add to my map
with works by: Roxanne Krumm and Skai

Camp is a bran new space in Berlin!!! The first show "IS IT NO MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THAT?" follows two young women artists as they navigate a complex, ever-deviating path from disillusionment and discontent to emotional fulfillment. Through new works in distinctly different yet complementary styles, artists Roxanne Krumm (b. 1988, USA) and Skai (b. 1992, Lithuania) document their determined, if not fraught, efforts to seek truth and sanguinity both within themselves and their perception of the world around them.

Thu, 7 Sep 18-21h at einBuch.haus Opening OLD BERLIN POSTERS Jonathan Monk  Add to my map

With a tongue-in-cheek approach, Jonathan Monk humorously combines Appropriation Art with autobiographical elements. Referring to earlier exhibition and book projects, Monk is showing paper work conceived especially for einBuch.haus, which will be realized both as a wall installation and as an artist’s book. In this project, Jonathan Monk refers to the publication OLD VIENNA POSTERS by Martin Kippenberger, published by the Grazer Kunstverein in 1992. Kippenberger’s book is composed of a poster board divided into A4 pages, originally on view in Graz, depicting the space of a Viennese bar with advertising posters. In OLD BERLIN POSTERS, Monk uses his own collection of German movie posters from the period 1979-1981.

Thu, 7 Sep 18-20h at Galerie im Turm Workshop: Haunted Waters with Nonhuman Nonsense     Add to my map
In this workshop we will join forces and become ghost hunters! We will go through imagination, storytelling, drawing and writing exercises to visualise invisible ghostly contaminants. We will explore bodies of water that are “haunted” by chemical contamination. Contaminants are substances that due to different factors have ended up in our waters. Just like ghosts, they are invisible to the naked eye, relate to local historic events and are trapped in places where they aren’t meant to be. We are attempting to make the invisible contaminants visible.

Virtual exhibition and research space with works and texts by Sarah Buser, fantastic little splash, Judith Hanke, Olga Krykun, Svitlana Matviyenko, Tactical Tech, Susan Sontag and others. The link to the show will be posted on the day of the opening.
Contemporary cyberwar is based on electronic control, communication, and weapon targeting systems. It also includes hacker attacks, social network monitoring and analysis, and more.

Fri, 8 Sep, 18h at Haus am Lützowplatz Opening of UNLEASHED UTOPIAS
Artistic Speculations about Today and Tomorrow in the Metaverse (VR KUNSTPREIS by DKB in cooperation with CAA Berlin) -Add to my map

In this exhibition, the winners of the VR ART PRIZE of the DKB in Cooperation with CAA Berlin show how we might be able to deploy new technologies for a more just, multifaceted, and personal coexistence. They are alert to the changes in values and norms currently going on in society and link their speculations to topical debates. With the help of virtual reality and site-specific installations, the artists create accessible, immersive, experiential utopias. They critically speculate upon artificial intelligence, 3D scanning, animation techniques, research in scientific fields, or the metaverse.

With works by Marlene Bart, Anan Fries, Mohsen Hazrati, Rebecca Merlic, Lauren Moffatt
Curated by Tina Sauerländer (artistic director)

with Dave Ball, Anke Becker, Erik Bünger, Ivor Cutler, Lise Harlev, Pablo Pijnappel

When Words Fail brings together a group of artists whose works explore what happens when the ordinary functioning of language starts to break down.

Sat, 9 Sep 18h at die raum Opening of Sophia Ioannou Gjerding: Broken Telephone

@die_raum  Add to my map

A bust of a person we later see reading a newspaper. Interrupted by a telephone call. A poster of another person crying while cutting an onion. Potato peels landing on your cheek. Vegetables being excavated from the kitchen garden. Onion skin. A group playing a whispering game. The telephone is broken. The installation Broken Telephone explores how reconstructions of prehistoric people are influenced by our ideas of heroism. Through reconstruction upon reconstruction, new characters are made. They interact in a surreal tableau of things and people, and hybrids between things and people. In the installation, Sophia Ioannou Gjerding introduces The Whisper Game (also called Broken Telephone) as a metaphor for how cumulative information is transformed due to biases and inaccuracies in communication. Biases such as assumptions about what is heroic.
The project is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.

On view daily 12 — 24 h

Sat Sep 9, 12-20h at Scharaun Opening of Akinbode Akinbiyi Abrie Fourie “Passage—a song.”

An exhibition of work by Nigerian-British photographer Akinbode Akinbiyi and South African artist Abrie Fourie, both based in Berlin. The project is a collaboration between Musée de la Musique Georges OUEDRAOGO de Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso and the project space SCHARAUN, Berlin. The curatorial emphasis turns the focus to the idea of sound in photography. What do we hear? Can we hear the stories that emanate from the visual information? Are we projecting from our memories? Can we hear the noise of the place or the deafening silence? Curated by Jaro Straub Soundtrack composition by Boris Baltschun Passage — a song.

Explaining Taxonomy to a Bird by Simon Faithfull @Changing Room

a Book Launch, a filmed Performance-Lecture + a casual Artist Talk over drinks
Berlin's Naturkundemuseum feels like an almost infinite library of life on this planet. Its millions of specimens form a kind of cathedral of Taxonomy – an attempt to name, to categorize, and to 'box' all the entangled diversity of life. 'Explaining Taxonomy to a Bird' is a series of artworks that came out of a 6-month residency within the Museum's collections – specifically the museum's 200,000 dead birds.

if you missed the lecture listen to the podcast series "In Conversation with Nature" - Episode #4 with Simon Faithfull! 

The event was part of the series "More-than-human: Music from other species.⁠"

Opening at SCOTTY CROSSLIGHT Katinka Theis, Benedikt Terwiel, Charlotte Bastian

CROSSLIGHT is a light that intersects the path of another light, illuminating what the first one leaves dark. It is meant to reveal a yet unlit perspective on a topic or an object and is indirectly shedding light onto something that can become a new source of knowledge. Katinka Theis, Benedikt Terwiel and Charlotte Bastian explore the transformation and perception of landscapes.
