Julius von Bismarck, Tiere sind Engel mit Fell, 2018, video still

Julius von Bismarck: Immer noch der Lauf der Dinge

Opening: Friday, Apr 27, 2018 | 6–9 pm
Opening hours during Gallery Weekend Berlin:
Saturday, Apr 28 + Sunday, Apr 29 | 11 am – 7 pm

During the Gallery Weekend Berlin, Julius von Bismarck invites gallery visitors to become part of his artistic research process. One Solution Revolution: the entire floor of the gallery is being converted into a treadmill – it will be impossible to view the works at a standstill because the virtual standstill can only be achieved by uniform movement. Visitors are encouraged to experience the endless movement, albeit not alone, but collectively at the same pace.
The never-ending movement is already familiar in von Bismarck’s work. But in the performance Ecocentric System (2015) it was the artist himself who spent nearly a week sitting on a concrete wheel that turned so fast around his own axis, that for him the outside world was barely recognizable. The artist, surrounded by people, could hardly perceive the world outside his system and inevitably everything began to revolve around himself. Now there is a change of perspective and von Bismarck takes the audience into view. It creates a whole new viewing situation that does not tolerate passivity. Additionally Julius von Bismarck’s new video series Tiere sind Engel mit Fell is on view.

NOWs: Re-Imagining Berlin Noize Fabrik Elsenstr. 52, 12059 Berlin Saturday, 28.4.2018, 7 – 11 pm Doors open at 7 pm Show starts at 7.30 pm – “I was not born of city, but I will most certainly die in its arms. It is the least I can do, after it has moulded and cuddled me all these torrid years”. Berlin is more than concrete, it is a revolving and evolving cut and pasted being. As we shift and shuffle along its many pathways we imprint upon it our own mark, but let it not be underestimated the extent to which it itself imprints upon our souls. – ‘Re-imagining Berlin’ will showcase the work of some amazingly talented artists. These include spoken word dancers, comedians, dancers, photographers and visual artists. In their own unique language they collaborate to explore the importance and necessity of re-imagining Berlin. – The “Re-imagining” series is an effort to explore different perspectives and to un-box and de-box our approaches to key societal issues. It seeks to underscore the importance of unpacking polarisations and cyclical patterns and radically re-think how we address, tackle and perceive these all-important challenges. – Performers: Alexis Smith Angela Fegers Cedric Till Elena Francalanci Katie Kelly Michael Priebe Robin Czerny Soar Yusuf Rieger Yves Mettler This will be a BYOB event.

Launching Friday, April 27 at the Kranzberg Art Foundation’s .ZACK arts facility, Dwell in Other Futures will continue at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation on Saturday, April 28. – Eric Ellingsen and Species of Space:The earth is blue like an orange greenway Public performance: April 28, 1-2pm at the Pulitzer Foundation, PXSTL site (field across from the Pulitzer Foundation) The earth is blue like an orange greenway is (1) a social engagement design experiment (2) a communication process for citizen based co-design agency (3) a ceremony welcoming the coming of the St Louis Chouteau Greenway. Landscape design is an art form that co-produces knowledge, memories and stories through performance, perception and participation. When the design of our public spaces is inclusive, it becomes democracy in action.

You are invited to co-materialize a spatial design ritual welcoming the St. Louis Chouteau Greenway. ALL SPECIES ARE WELCOME. MAY GET MESSEY. Invitation to make statements Two ‘speakers platforms’ will be set up as social infrastructure in the PXSTL site across from the Pulitzer Foundation. Each platform will be provided with a bullhorn. Everyone is invited to make statements up to 3 minutes in length. The statements should be oriented around the topic of LAND, LANDSCAPE, or LANGUAGE. This can be playful, political, philosophic or poetic. Statement Examples: back-yard stories, bird encounters, nature play-grounds, gardens, forging, food recipes, landfills and lead, memories of Mill Creek Valley, trampoline beings, basketball courts, fishing holes, prairies burns, scientific studies, utility markings, milkweed and monarchs, monarchs, mounds, leaves of grass, SOS’s, future speculations on storm water and trickles, anything to do with the Commons. You are invited to make a statement. Please bring poems, songs, something to read, something prepared, something improvised. All ages welcome. All species welcome.
