An evening on the occassion “State of Conservation” by Tobias Sjöberg at Grimmuseum.

Tobias work deals with repetition and rhythm. One can read the rhythms as reference to accelerated tempo in times of accelerated growth : Contemporary time is jam-packed with appointments, is growing faster and faster. Everyone is striving for more – and our world keeps evolving. We will encounter a ̶r̶̶e̶̶l̶̶a̶̶t̶̶e̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶(̶̶?̶̶)̶ modern movement: the Futurists. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti published in 1930 the “Manifesto of Futurist Cooking“. We will eat a Futurists meal and have a glass of wine, while sitting in Tobias´installation at Grimmuseum.

The encounters are open to the public: At www.performingencounters.de you will be asked to give a short notice, who you are and why you are interested in joining the event – after that you are cordially invited.

Initiated by Yvonne Reiners, Performing Encounters is a new critical, curatorial format, that will visit Berlin-based institutions like Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Kreuzberg Pavillon and District from 2014 til 2015
