In a world of globalization and migration, where do I belong to?
They say that knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom, and through this workshop Maryse and Johanna, will guide you through the journey of discovering our own identities. Using a de-colonial perspective the workshop will question how the world around us defines people’s paths towards their own identity. Using individual visions and combining them, Maryse, Johanna and the participants will build the tree of identities, the Arbol of Ubumwe, where all of your stories come together to represent diversity, inclusiveness and togetherness.

Thu, 15 Jun 18-24h at gr_und Opening Other people’s clothing
with: Kévin Desbouis, Pati Hill, Charlotte HouetteI curated by: Fiona Vilmer (Les Bains-Douches) und gr_und
Exhibition, Live Music (Cesar Palace), Publication (Suckcess 2)

Other people's clothing is a group show with Kevin Desbouis, Pati Hill, Charlotte Houette, curated by Fiona Vilmer. In partnership with Les Bains-Douches (Alençon) & Gr_und (Berlin). The first occurrence of the exhibition Other people's clothing took place at the art centre Les Bains-Douches in France. For this second part of the exhibition hosted by Gr_und, other people's clothing presents itself as a version that suggests another way of appearing, continuing its investigation into attitudes of disappearance and possible fictions of self. The works by Kevin Desbouis, Pati Hill and Charlotte Houette, brought together for this exhibition, play with surface effects of attraction, suspicion and a promised intensity that operate through tactics of diversion, or what might be identified as a special effect or a joke. The exhibition questions the possible ways of being and being situated in reality, with the idea that something is always - and already - happening elsewhere, by summoning mechanisms of fictions and shifts within their own practice. These phenomena of absorption evoke, through their forms, more or less dramatic, more or less comical changes of state.

On the occasion of the Project Space festival, we will launch the edition of "Suckcess 2" by Kevin Desbouis, followed by a concert by Cesar Palace, the unstoppable drummer of La Colonie de Vacances (and the late Electric Electric).

Fri, 16 Jun 17-22h at WIRWIR presents Kino Rinia!
Project Space 17 from Prishtina, Kosovo hosted by WIRWIR & Project Space Festival 23
Metamorphosis aims to bring arts and culture into the dialogue in order to discuss the importance of utilizing public space. One of the last interventions of Metamorphosis is the first modern cinema Kino Rinia in Prishtina. A building of great cultural and social value, which was on the verge of privatization, likely to be repurposed into a market or parking lot. Actions in the frame of Metamorphosis project such as in-depth research on collective memory, a site-specific artistic intervention, public discussions, a documentary and a book on the capital’s cinema, Kino Rinia, resulted in the
ultimate rescuing of the cinema.

Until July 9th Broken Machines & Wild Imaginings, Akademie der Künste 

The exhibition “Broken Machines & Wild Imaginings” is a presentation of ten new installations by JUNGE AKADEMIE fellows whose artistic research examines artificial intelligence. These speculative and experimental practices question and materialise how power and ethics are dealt with in the context of AI. The focus here is less on artistic innovations that improve existing systems by making them more ethical but rather on giving visibility to the social, historical, cultural and political realities and forces that have given rise to AI and continue to shape it. In response to the fragile realities of machines and their extractivist logic, algorithmic violence and techno-solutionism, the artists create poetic worlds, playful concepts and strategies of repair. They develop alternative paradigms, narratives and imaginings of technologies and a digital life beyond the systems of Big Tech. Themes range from deep-sea cables as historical power conduits to Indigenous technologies and cosmologies, AI-based human models, queer and decolonial computing and questions about digital immortality.
With the fellows:
Sarah Ciston, Sara Culmann, D’Andrade & Walla Capelobo, Petja Ivanova, Pedro Oliveira, Sahej Rahal, Aarti Sunder, SONDER (Peter Behrbohm und Anton Steenbock), Natasha Tontey, Tin Wilke & Laura Fong Prosper

Until July 9th at Axel Obiger – Raum für zeitgenössische Kunst Opening Artefakt und Interferenz

Harriet Groß | Susanne Piotter

Disorder as stimulation. The small sculptures in Susanne Piotter's Artefakt series evoke an impression of architecture, reminiscent of building shells and architectural failures without function. As autonomous objects, they are a plea for imperfection. Harriet Groß's installation Interferenz records phenomena of amplification and extinction. Like waves hitting obstacles, competing ideas set the space into rhythmic oscillations and turn into strings of an instrument.

Finissage: Sunday, 9 July, 4-7 pm

Until July 22nd The Bureau of Melodramatic Research High Heel Communism  at L40

High Heel Communism will be the first large-scale presentation of the work of the Romanian duo The Bureau of Melodramatic Research in Germany. The Bureau of Melodramatic Research (BMR) was founded in 2009 in Bucharest by artists Irina Gheorghe (b. 1981) and Alina Popa (1982-2019) as an institution whose aim is to investigate the role of emotions, as key elements of melodrama, in a wider social context. For the exhibition at the Kunstverein, the project was developed into a mixed media installation including photographs, mannequins, costumes, prints, performances, as well as a newly produced 16mm film. The film starts from existing footage from the shooting of the titular photograph and the opening performance at the exhibition Heart Beat Detection Systems in Bucharest 2022. From there it expands into a wider reflection on ideas of social equality, gender representation and the role of the high heel as a symbolic instrument of subversion.

A new performance was developed in connection with the film. Premiere with  Irina Gheorghe and Silvia Costin on 7 July 2023, 20h.
