♦ MPA-B PROGRAMME: May 24th ♦

Today, two new projects from our group of 23 Associate Curators, come to life: the BEYOND COMMEMORATION series curated by Dovrat Meron and the SHADOWS series curated by Laura Biagioni.

BEYOND COMMEMORATION questions the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin and explores alternative ways of commemorating the millions Jews killed during the Nazi regime, by inviting different artists to make site-specific works in Eisenman’s controversial monument. Today, starting at 19:00 at OKK Gallery in Wedding, you can see an exhibition of the work of the participating artists: Birgit Auf der Lauer, Moran Sanderovich, Valeria Schwarz & Maik Kerner. The exhibition runs until June 2nd. Performances will take place on the 26th.
