Cumulus Berlin Inauguration of the sculpture of Thorsten Goldberg for the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection, Berlin/DE A stylized white and shiny cumulus cloud is set rotatable on the very tip of a traversable mast with arm inside the newly build garden of The Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV), Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin. The cumulus is made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) Size of the cloud ca. 3,5 x 2,5 x 2,5m. The chrome surfaced mast is slewable by wind and via a steel handle by hand ca. 200° around the corner of the building. Mast height ca. 11m with 6m arm. Thorsten Goldberg is well-known for his architectural art projects. Dealing intensivly with science and environment and inspired by the relation between people and nature he creates poetic sculptures. „Cumulus Berlin“ combines the playful easiness of a child’s mind with serious considerations of an adult. The careful handling with ressources affects at the same time our thoughts referring to trancendency and Utopia. On the occasion of the realization of the sculpture „Cumulus Berlin“ the exhibition "Constructing Clouds" at the Borsig-Villa shows drawings, sketches and other cloud objects. |

Television André Wagner (DE) 20.10.2010 – 20.11.2010 LOCATION: Giesebrechtstr. 13, 10629 Berlin - Charlottenburg In cooperation with Gallery Horst Dietrich further information
OPENING: 20.10.2010, 7 - 9pm
Wed - Fri 2 - 7pm, Sat 10am - 3pm, and by appt. In the context of the European Month of Photography Berlin André Wagner (born in Chemnitz in 1980) is in search of the primeval forces of nature. Inspired by the situations he finds, sometimes supplemented by imaginative staged scenarios, he captures powerful impressions of people and places. The exhibition shows two series from the year 2010. The central theme of these works is the overlap of different levels of time and space. With a sure sense of ‘the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous’ (Ernst Bloch), Wagner catches moments of privacy that are determined by the atmosphere of the room. The portrait of a man meditating on a roof is juxtaposed with the view of an interior that is illuminated only by the light of a television set. In Wagner’s work every moment seems to be loaded with content which goes beyond the purely aesthetic message. This effect is enhanced still further when the photographer works with long exposures. ‘The light imaged is my path through time,’ as he once described it. |

Count for Nothing Katrin Korfmann (NL) 19.11.2010 - 23.12.2010 LOCATION: Zimmerstrasse 90/91, 10117 Berlin - Mitte In cooperation with Gallery Kai Hilgemann, Berlin/DE further information
OPENING: 19.11.2010, 7 - 10pm
Tue - Sat 12am - 6pm In the context of the European Month of Photography Berlin Katrin Korfmann focuses on the apparently ordinary. Her emphatically neutral vision suggests a high degree of objectivity, while at the same time taking us into a fictional world. In a process embracing a variety of materials and media, she documents daily situations with the photographic or video camera and combines the individual shots subsequently into a complete work. A carefully planned choreography makes it possible for the artist to control the perception of her pictures. She places the evanescence of an event at the centre of observation, brings different moments in time to a single point and so gives the impression of a kind of ‘magical moment’. The viewer becomes the victim of illusion – the more secure you imagine yourself to be, the more persistently effective the artist’s manipulation. The fascination of Korfmann’s pictures lies in her creation of an illusory simultaneity, which unfolds into a world of details. |

cities in flux Private show with Susanne Kessler (DE/IT), Karen Lebergott (USA), Greg Murr (USA), Mayumi Okabayashi (JP), Michael Yuen (AUS/CN) 22.06.2010 - 15.08.2010 LOCATION: Brunnenstr. 47 - 10115 Berlin-Mitte Lecture "cities: what is a city? city in flux." by Michael Yuen: 21.06.2010, 4:30pm further information
Cities of flux are places of infinite possibilities. They begin as infinite chaos. They occur at the birth of a nation: post war Tokyo or New York, during 1860, during the steam boat era or present day Beijing are examples. In these cities we can test philosophy and reality. Here, when we make an intervention the stakes are higher than in a stable city, the repercussions greater. Within these cities of flux, we find rapidly changing social structures and built environments with no clear direction. And, in them it is not enough tomerely describe and document, but rather it is important to find tools for acting in them. Ideas from Europe and America which have been for a long time useful in the city, no longer fit comfortably with the reality of Asia´s mega cities. By testing it and by intervening into it, what might we learn from the city of flux? By living in it.
