[syndicate] Fwd: Discussion Tonight

[beate zurwehme]

Sparwasser HQ recommends

a discussion tonight at 8 PM at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, in conjunction 
with Dellbrügge and de Moll's exhibition, New Harmony. Hope to see you!
Greetings, Lise/ Sparwasser HQ

Künstlerhaus Bethanien Studio 1, Mariannenplatz 2, D-10999 Berlin
NEW HARMONY

The Bethanien has been squatted and a struggle about the sovereignty of 
definition and conception of space has erupted. In the conflict about 
who should stay and who should go °©Dellbrügge & de Moll introduce 
fiction into the debate as they look to a new location. Meticulously 
they dissect the Bethanien, extract its space allocation plan and 
transplant it. The new site for this relocation is the grounds of the 
Spreepark - a former amusement park in Berlin Treptow. There the 
studios, offices, workshops, storage and communal spaces will be set 
down in a campus-like arrangement between Fun-Express und Dino-World, 
Kentucky-Ride und Megaloop. The urban artists' colony arrives on the 
city's stage and appropriates the ruins of the Spreepark as part of the 
process of Tivolization.
  After 30 years in the hospital an excursion into nature is an 
°©opportunity to ask how a Perfect Location is constituted within the 
coordinates of living and working, private and public, production and 
presentation, discourse and practice, audience and participation, 
inside and outside. How much institutionalization does such a location 
require? How much can it handle? What kinds of hybrids are possible 
between sedimentary and nomadic conditions? What is the potential for 
concepts of collectivity? What is the role of artists on the urban 
stage?

  On occasion of the exhibition a catalog will be published, 144 p., 
color, with texts in German and English by Benjamin Foerster-Baldenius, 
Karen van den Berg, Marc Ries, Dellbrügge & de Moll and Interviews with 
Christoph Tannert and Michael Haerdter.


3.5. 19 Uhr Eröffnung |
  Am Schlagzeug | on drums: Andreas Schlaegel. Am Mikrophon | on 
microphone: Anja Brietzke, Peter Farkas, Pia Fuchs (dt ID von Patricia 
Reed), Nikolaus Schneider.

After thirty years spent in a hospital we suggest moving the 
Künstlerhaus Bethanien out into the abandoned amusementpark in Treptow. 
The urban artists' colony enters the city's stage appropriating the 
ruins of the Spreepark and take on its part in the process of 
Tivolization. The exhibition and the get-togethers will shed a light on 
the plan.
