Mapping the Invisible City
Atmospheres and Subnatures at Arat Kilo
Workshop by Makeda Begashaw (Addis Ababa), Polina Chebotareva (Copenhagen) and Christina Werner (Berlin) at the Alle School of Fine Arts, Addis Ababa, November 5th – 8th, 2019
Presentations on November 11th, 2019 in the context of a workshop by the research network Atmospheres in the Urban Anthropocene – International and Cross-disciplinary Research Network held at Guramayne Art Center, Addis Ababa
The course introduces the participants to the terms ‘Atmosphere’ and ‘Subnature’ that allow to critically reflect upon the invisible things that make up a city. It introduces a method for documenting the atmosphere by registering the sensory and affective perception, the commented city walks, as well as a variety of artistic methods of mapping of atmospheres in specific urban contexts. Participants are encouraged to collect data on atmosphere and subnatures, mapping the Arat Kilo area and to rethink the scientific method of mapping atmospheres in their own artistic interpretation. The produced maps of the atmospheres and subnatures at Arat Kilo were presented at Guramayne Art Center as part of an international research workshop.

Memories revisited; postcard from Baghdad
Arts Seminar in Baghdad - Workshop SeriesCultures of Memory
Arts Seminar in Baghdad is a workshop series that prepares the participants to engage with their art works and interventions in the urban space of Baghdad. The seminar starts with a kick-off session – an intense 3-day workshop at TARKIB Baghdad Contemporary Arts Institute –, followed by regular skype sessions and will result in an exhibition, that is also a guided tour of the city, titled Baghdad Walk.
The seminar examines questions on memory cultures. It explores how memory understood as both a psychological and a social–cultural process can find its forms in the immaterial and material realm. Memory is deeply entwined with social relationships, with stories orally transmitted, as well as passed on in film, social media or literature, it leaves traces in form of buildings and monuments, ritual practices or commemorations, material artifacts or other cultural devices.
The exhibition Baghdad Walk will present site-specific interventions that address the paradigmatic shifts that the city of Baghdad has witnessed; historical, ideological, sociopolitical, and symbolic turns of events seen through the lense of the personal. The artists zoom in and out, finding microscopic details or distant perspectives, always looking for locations that are part of the collective memory or part of a personal trajectory within the larger frame of society’s past. The question is not whether to be part of the city’s history but how and on what terms. And what should change and what shouldn’t?

A-B-A-B-A : Workshop, Day 1
17, 18, 19 July 2014: workshop and rehearsal
Spoken poetry has a long history in Ethiopia. Often traversed with hidden meanings, this lyrical form is known as “Wax and Gold”. During A-B-A-B-A : from hear to here contemporary expressions of this tradition will be tested in an artistic dialogue. Ethiopian poetry today refers to itself as Jazz Poetry. Jazz Poetry crosses genetic material from music and poetry in a way, which discovers a style and forms based in listening. Through listening, rhythms and styles and modes of playing are created between the musicians and the poets particular to the poems and poets performing. During the workshop and presentation we will use this structure of listening and playing. Music and artistic styles and styles of critiquing poetry, particular to some European and US poetry today, will be mixed in.
Participants: Eric Ellingsen (poet/writer, Berlin/US), Mihret Kebede (poet, Addis Abeba), Robert Lippok (musician, Berlin), Abebaw Melaku (poet, Addis Abeba), Jorga Mesfin (musician, Addis Abeba), Ari Benjamin Meyers (composer/conductor, Berlin/US), Rike Scheffler (poet, Berlin), Misrak Terefe (poet, Addis Abeba), Uljana Wolf (poet, Berlin), and others

17./18./19. Juli 2014: Workshop und Probe
In Äthiopien hat insbesondere die gesprochene Lyrik eine lange Geschichte. Oft mit verborgenen Bedeutungskomponenten durchzogen ist die lyrische Form auch als „Wax and Gold“ bekannt. Zeitgenössische Ausdrucksformen dieser Tradition werden im künstlerischen Dialog mit anderen Wort- und Dichtkünsten erprobt. Die eingeladenen Künstler aus Äthiopien kreuzen in ihrer als Jazz Poetry bezeichneten Performance Einflüsse aus Musik, Poesie und Rezitation, wodurch ein Zusammenspiel aus Rhythmen, Metren und Stilen erst beim Zuhören zwischen Musikern, Dichtern und Publikum entsteht. Im Rahmen des Workshops fließen diese musikalischen und künstlerisch-poetischen Stilmittel, aber auch Rezitations- und Kritikformen, die in der europäischen und amerikanischen Lyrik verbreitet sind, ein.

A-B-A-B-A : from hear to here
A-B-A-B-A : from hear to here is an experiment on rhythms of poetry, soundings, in-voicing, performing, playing, rehearsing, and talking together. In this exercise of style, poets and musicians from Ethiopia joined international poets, musicians, artists, and translators based in Berlin for a workshop taking place at the Institut für Raumexperimente and the Roter Salon at the Volksbühne Berlin between July 11 – 19, culminating in a poetry night on Saturday, July 19.
Spoken poetry has a long history in Ethiopia. Often loaded with hidden meanings, this lyrical form is known as “Wax and Gold”. During A-B-A-B-A : from hear to here, contemporary expressions of this tradition were tested in an artistic dialogue. Ethiopian poetry today refers to itself as “Poetic Jazz”. Poetic Jazz crosses genetic material from music and poetry in a way that discovers a style and form based in listening. Rhythms, styles, and modes of playing are created between the musicians and the poets and reflect the specific quality of the poems being performed. A weeklong workshop in Berlin blended structures of listening and playing. Music and artistic approaches and styles of critiquing poetry, particular to some European and US poetry today, entered the mix as well. The workshop led to a poetry concert night with contributions by Eric Ellingsen, Mihret Kebede, Robert Lippok, Abebaw Melaku, Jorga Mesfin, Misrak Terefe, Rike Scheffler, and Uljana Wolf.
Participants are: Eric Ellingsen (poet/writer, Berlin/US), Mihret Kebede (poet, Addis Abeba), Robert Lippok (musician, Berlin), Abebaw Melaku (poet, Addis Abeba), Jorga Mesfin (musician, Addis Abeba), Ari Benjamin Meyers (composer/conductor, Berlin/US), Rike Scheffler (poet, Berlin), Misrak Terefe (poet, Addis Abeba), Uljana Wolf (poet, Berlin), and others

Interrupting the Flow. Art & Activism in the City, Day 1
Interrupting the Flow. Art & Activism in the CityPresentation by Joanna Warsza & Florian Malzacher
presentation by Joanna Warsza & Florian Malzacher, Part I
presentation by Joanna Warsza & Florian Malzacher, Part II
In the course of the last two years – while researching on the 7th Berlin Biennale “Forget Fear” and on the 24/7 marathon “Truth is concrete” at steirischer herbst 2012 – our interest was focused on artistic strategies in politics and political strategies in art. Concepts such as citizen art, useful art, performative democracy, or political choreography mark a common field of art and activism. The urban landscape and the social tissue of the city is the most obvious agonistic playgrounds for these negotiations.
This workshop concentrates on very concrete and many local examples. After a fast and subjective view on site specific art and activism from all over the world (such as Reverend Billy, Occupy Museums, Public Movement, Rimini Protokoll and several examples vom BB7) we look – while walking through the city – at several initiatives and art projects in Berlin, that play with the political and the performative.
From Kotti to MoritzplatzA walk with Jochen Becker
Two nearby places shows past, present and future of urban struggles in Kreuzberg in a nutshell.
At Kottbusser Tor, the squatting moment of the 1980s started in opposition to the concrete high-rise buildings. Now “Kotti&Co” – a broad coalition of people with different ethnic, social and educational backgrounds – defends the right to live in these affordable social housing complexes. Moritzplatz in the 1980s was the studio of the so called “Neue Wilden”, a expressionist-queer group of painters. Now – with Aufbau-Haus, Planet Modulor, Beta-Haus or Prinzessinnen-Gärten – a “creative cluster” emerges right here.

17.30 Walk to Markthalle Neun, Eisenbahnstraße 42/43, 10997 Berlin
18.00 – 18.15 Introductions to Markthalle and its concept by Nikolaus Driessen, one of the initiators.
18.15 – 19.15 Presentation „Chez Icke“ with Gesine Dankwart
Chez Icke is a virtuell-real barfactory, which happens at different real places and via internet as a good old favourite pub and at the same moment as an interactive performance of a world wide web pub. It first was presented in Berlin at Markthalle Kreuzberg as a production of HAU – Hebbel am Ufer and will continue now in the four cities of Impulse Theater Biennale 2013.
19.15-20.00 Presentation „Dinner Exchange Berlin“ by Sandra Teitge
Dinner Exchange Berlin is a supper club initiated by Sarah Mewes and Sandra Teitge. The menus are composed of fruit and vegetables, which would have gone to waste at the end of a market day. A part of guests’ donations go to organisations concerned with food waste. Dinner Exchange Berlin has cooked in different frameworks, including the dOCUMENTA 13 and the KW – Institute for Contemporary Art Berlin, and occasionally invites speakers from various fields to discuss and performatively present a specific topic. Dinner Exchange Berlin prepares Table Talks for the Georgian Pavilion in 55th Venice Biennale.

Den Fluss unterbrechen. Kunst und Aktivismus in der Stadt. Vortrag von Joanna Warsza & Florian Malzacher
Vortrag von Joanna Warsza & Florian Malzacher, Teil I
Vortrag von Joanna Warsza & Florian Malzacher, Teil II
Im Laufe der vergangenen zwei Jahre – während unserer Recherche für die 7. Berlin Biennale unter dem Motto „Forget Fear“ sowie den 7 Tage / 24 Stunden Marathon unter dem Motto „Truth is concrete“ beim steirischen herbst 2012 – haben wir uns verstärkt mit künstlerischen Strategien in der Politik sowie politischen Strategien in der Kunst beschäftigt. Konzepte wie citizen art, nützliche Kunst, performative Demokratie und politische Choreographie markieren einen Überschneidungsraum zwischen Kunst und Aktivismus. Für solche Verhandlungen bieten urbane Räume und das soziale Geflecht der Stadt die am offensichtlich vergesslichsten Spielplätze. Dieser Workshop konzentriert sich auf ganz konkrete und zahlreiche lokale Beispiele. Nach einem schnellen und subjektiven Blick auf ortsgebundene Kunst und Aktivismus aus aller Welt, wie beispielsweise Reverend Billy, Occupy Museums, Public Movement, Rimini Protokoll und mehrere Beispiele der 7. Berlin Biennale, werden wir bei einem Stadtspaziergang einige Initiativen und Kunstprojekte in Berlin betrachten, die mit der Beziehung zwischen dem Politischen und dem Performativen spielen.
Vom Kotti zum MoritzplatzEin Spaziergang mit Jochen Becker
Die zwei nahe beieinander liegenden Orte in Kreuzberg tragen Spuren der Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft urbaner Auseinandersetzungen. In den 1980er Jahren wurde die Hausbesetzerbewegung Berlins am Kottbusser Tor aus der Wiege gehoben, vor der kontrastiven Kulisse der hohen Betongebäude. Heute verteidigt „Kotti&Co“ – ein Kollektiv aus Menschen mit unterschiedlichen ethnischen, sozialen und Bildungshinteründen – das Recht, in diesen bezahlbaren Sozialbaukomplexen zu wohnen. Der Moritzplatz war in den 1980er Jahren das Studio der sogenannten “Neuen Wilden”, einer expressionistisch-queeren Gruppe von Malern. Jetzt entsteht hier mit dem Aufbau-Haus, Planet Modulor, dem Beta-Haus und den Prinzessinnen-Gärten ein kreatives Cluster.

Chez Icke ist eine virtuell-reale Barfabrik, die an verschiedenen realen und virtuellen Orten sowohl als Kneipe um die Ecke als auch als interactive Plattform in einem World Wide Web Pub besteht. Die erstmalige Präsentation in der Berliner Markthalle 9 fand im Rahmen einer HAU – Hebbel am Ufer Produktion statt und wird nun in vier Städten als Teil der Impulse Theaterbiennale 2013 fortgeführt.
19.15-20.00 Präsentation „Dinner Exchange Berlin“ von Sandra Teitge
Dinner Exchange Berlin ist ein Dinnerclub, der von Sarah Mewes und Sandra Teitge ins Leben gerufen wurde. Die jeweiligen Menüs bestehen aus Obst und Gemüse, das am Ende eines Markttages normalerweise als Abfall entsorgt worden wäre. Dinner Exchange Berlin hat innerhalb verschiedener Rahmenveranstaltungen wie der dOCUMENTA 13 und am KW Institute for Contemporary Art Berlin gekocht und gelegentlich Vortragende aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen für Diskussionen und Performances zu ausgewählten Themen eingeladen. Dinner Exchange Berlin richtet Table Talks für den Georgischen Pavillon im Rahmen der 55. Biennale in Venedig aus.

Interrupting the Flow. Art & Activism in the City, Day 2
Rimini Protokoll - Remote XAudio-guided tour, 13.00 - 15.00, Meeting point: Café Rundum, corner of Stresemannstr. / Großbeerenstr., next to HAU 1 (finishes near Kurfürstendamm)
Hordes of people who have never met in the real world swarm out on virtual treasure hunts when playing online games. In “Remote X” we’re a horde of people wearing radio headphones, swarming out into the real city.
A synthetic voice in our headphones (of the kind familiar from GPS navigators or airport announcements) directs the movements of our swarm. Binaural recordings and film scores turn the cityscape into a personal film; artificial Intelligence explores unknown territories, mustering human activity from a remote perspective. And yet the voice sounds ever more human to us as we progress, while in the eyes of passers-by our remotely controlled horde starts to look like a kind of alien entity.
How are joint decisions made? Are we all hearing the same words? As 50 individuals observe each other the swarm breaks down into ever-smaller units, before re-forming as a collective in which decisions are ultimately taken individually. Might this be the beginning of a movement?
“Remote X” lays a trail through the city for this swarm of 50 people. It composes a soundtrack to streets, parking garages, churches and backyards. Each new city-specific version builds on the dramatic structure of its predecessor, writing more storylines for new sites.

Rimini Protokoll - Remote XAudio-Tour, 13.00 - 15.00, Treffpunkt: Café Rundum, Ecke Stresemannstr. / Großbeerenstr., neben HAU 1 (endet nahe Kurfürstendamm)
In Online-Games begeben sich Menschen auf virtuelle Schnitzeljagd, die sich in der Realität noch nie begegnet sind. In “Remote X” bricht eine solche Horde mit Funkkopfhörern in die reale Stadt auf.
Geleitet wird sie von einer künstlichen Stimme wie man sie aus GPS-Navis oder Flughäfen kennt. Unterwegs vertonen Kunstkopf-Aufnahmen und Filmmusik die urbane Landschaft. Die Begegnung mit der Künstlichen Intelligenz verleitet die Horde zum Selbstversuch. Hören die anderen tatsächlich dasselbe? Wie können wir gemeinsam Entscheidungen treffen? 50 Menschen beobachten sich gegenseitig in immer kleineren Einheiten und werden dann wieder Teil eines Schwarmes, in dem sich doch jeder individuell entscheidet. Könnte das der Anfang einer Bewegung sein? Die Reise durch die Stadt wird zu einem kollektiven Film. Und während die künstliche Intelligenz menschliches Verhalten aus der Distanz eines Artfremden beobachtet, klingt ihre Stimme doch mit jedem Schritt menschlicher.
“Remote X” ist eine Fährte durch die Stadt. Eine Tonspur zu Straßen, Parkgaragen, Kirchen und Hinterhöfen. Ein Soundtrack für einen Schwarm von 50 Individuen. Jede neue ortsspezifische Version baut auf der Dramaturgie der Vor-Stadt auf, sucht neue Orte in der nächsten Stadt und schreibt das Stück fort.

Workshop and Discussion: Ideas are Motion
Ideas are motion, the Poster as Travel ExperimentWorkshop and conversation for the poster project with Markús pór Andrésson
Participants of Institut für Raumexperimente
Ideas Are Motion: The Poster as an Experiment in Travel is prismatically structured to reflect the making of a class excursion, within the making of an individual art project, within the making of a collective project, within the feeling of a place, within an exhibition in that place.
Ideas Are Motion takes place in(1) Zagreb, Croatia (2) Japan (3) Iceland.
The Institut für Raumexperimente traveled to Kanazawa, Kyoto and Tokyo in February and March 2010 and brings back Ideas Are Motion as part of the exhibition Berlin 2000-2011: Playing amongst the Ruins at the MOT, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo from 29.10.2011 – 9.1.2012.
Some posters are sketches of ideas, some finished statements, others dreams, or personal distortions. They are autonomous projects soon to be realized, parts realized in other places, and pitches for projects to come. In a real way, each poster is a still from a moving stream.
Every place is a mangle of spatial relationships involving motions and emotions of scale, speed, perception, attention span, directionality, and distance. Posters are vehicles of urban communication, which materialize these spatial relationships. Posters mobilize populations of perception. We behave differently because of the promiscuity of these kinds of signs in public space. We slow down, think about, read, reflect on, change plans. Urban signs are coordinated around the rhythms of our movement but they also help to coordinate that movement.
Posters are mirrors, which confirm an approach, a direction of arrival, a route of passing through. Posters reflect the population’s psychological relationship to things we personally feel we want or need, and the things we go out of way for. Posters offer a phenomenal vehicle to hitchhike an encounter with art, a formal opportunity to subvert the complete commodification of our public space, while materializing diverse art projects without predetermining an artistic content.
The poster project makes the concept act the art. The act demonstrates a process of how thinking feedbacks into a transformed thought and that thought feeds back into a transformed action of change in the world.
Ideas are motion, the Poster as Travel ExperimentWorkshop und Gespräch zum Posterprojekt mit Markús pór Andrésson
Teilnehmer des Instituts für Raumexperimente
Ideas Are Motion: The Poster as an Experiment in Travel ist ein prismatisch strukturiertes Projekt, das die Erfahrungen einer Klassenreise reflektiert: Prozesse eines individuellen künstlerischen Projektes, Prozesse kollektiven Arbeitens, Prozesse des Erspürens eines Ortes, Prozesse des Ausstellungsmachens an diesem Ort.
Ideas Are Motion findet statt in:(1) Zagreb, Kroatien (2) Japan (3) Island.
Das Institut für Raumexperimente reiste Februar bis März 2010 nach Kanazawa, Kyoto und Tokyo. Ideas Are Motion bringt die Erfahrungen dieser Reise als Teil der Ausstellung Berlin 2000-2011: Playing amongst the Ruins im MOT, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo vom 29.10.2011 – 9.1.2012 nach Japan zurück.
Einige Poster sind Skizzen, einige präzise Statements, andere sind Träume oder persönliche Verformungen. Sie sind autonome Projekte, die in Bälde realisieren werden, an anderen Orten bereits realisiert sind oder Vorschläge für die Zukunft. Metaphorisch und tatsächlich ist jedes Poster eine Momentaufnahme eines Ideenstromes.
Jeder Ort ist durchzogen von räumlichen Verhältnissen, die Bewegungen von und Gefühle für Maßstab, Geschwindigkeit, Wahrnehmung, Aufmerksamkeitsspanne, Richtung und Entfernung einschließen. Poster sind Vehikel urbaner Kommunikation, in denen sich diese Verhältnisse materialisieren. Poster mobilisieren vielfältige Wahrnehmungsräume. Die Promiskuität dieser Zeichen im öffentlichen Raum beeinflusst unser Verhalten. Wir halten an, lesen, denken nach, reflektieren und ändern unsere Pläne. Urbane Zeichen werden choreographiert entsprechend unserer Bewegungsmuster, können aber andererseits auch helfen, jene Bewegungen zu koordinieren.
Poster sind Spiegel, die eine Annäherung, eine Ankunft, ein Passieren markieren. Poster reflektieren die psychologischen Beziehungsmuster unserer Gesellschaften zu Dingen, die wir persönlich attraktiv finden, mögen oder auch meiden. Poster bieten sich an als Medium einer unkonventionelleren Begegnung mit Kunst und als formale Möglichkeit, die vollständige Kommerzialisierung unserer öffentlichen Räume zu unterlaufen. Dabei können die unterschiedlichsten Kunstprojekte entstehen, ohne dass der künstlerische Inhalt festgelegt wäre.
Das Posterprojekt macht den konzeptuellen Akt zur Kunst. Dieser Akt der Umsetzung demonstriert wie Denkprozesse mit sich verändernden Ideen rückgekoppelt sind und diese Ideen Handlungen beeinflussen, die Veränderungen in der Welt bewirken.
