♦ MPA–B PROGRAMME: May 31st ♦

And now, for one last time, here is today’s programme overview:

The ON OFF MOMENTS exhibition at Grimmuseum, curated by Amelie Wedel and displaying works outside the realm of performance art by young artists that reveal a moment of absence in different ways, thereby disclosing paradoxes of presence / absence, visibility / invisibility, and self-referentiality / external-referentiality, is still on view today from 14:00 to 19:00 (free entrance). The exhibition runs until June 9th.

Starting at 21:00 (entrance 7-5€) at OSHO Studio Berlin, Alexa Wilson & Friends will present EXTRAORDINARY ALIENS, a work that explores cultural, physical and emotional ‘outsiderness’ and ‘insiderness’ in a cross-disciplinary performance art, dance and video piece spanning Europe, America, New Zealand and Asia. The performance questions the elitism of power structures deeply embedded within our global and communal society in relation to the identity of bodies and the empowerment of self.
