NOWs: AIRBORNE

Although lock-down measures across the world are slowly being loosened, cultural institutions and exhibition spaces still remain largely closed. We are therefore opening the guaranteed corona-free exhibition project Airborne – contactlessly transmitted messages, designed for this new, socially distant world.

On Saturday 25th April starting at 8 in the morning a balloon will ascend into the sky of Berlin every 15-30 minutes. Attached to each balloon will be a piece of paper carrying a thought, sketch, photograph or poem from artists, writers, curators and thinkers. They shall be released into the world like messages in a bottle.

The original works can be found scattered around Berlin and Brandenburg from April 25th, and the event will also be shared live on Instagram from @airborne_project starting at 8 am. The individual contributions can be viewed on the project website www.airborne-project.com from 8 pm.
