<b>Illuminations of Wedding: digital expressions within transitional
urban space</b><b><br>
</b><b>Thursday 24 Jan—Saturday 26 Jan, 2013</b><b><br>
</b><b>Artists: Malcolm Levy (Revised Projects/New Forms Festival),
Peter Kirn (Create Digital Motion) & AUTO64 (Stattbad)</b><b><br>
</b><b>Curators: Kristin Trethewey</b><b> & </b><b>Michelle
O'Brien</b><br>
<br>
As Berlin's growth as a global creative hub continues, SUPERMARKT's
home in Wedding has taken on particular significance within the
city’s cultural atmosphere. Raw warehouses and their surrounding
‘street' stories reveal traces of history and layers of memories of
a Berlin gone-by. Wedding is a neighbourhood on the verge of
socio-economic transition. As young creatives begin to infiltrate
this part of Berlin, fears of rising rents and living costs give way
to frictions between communities past and present.<br>
<br>
"Illuminations of Wedding" is a project exploring forms of urban
expressionism from the perspective of Wedding and its identity, with
SUPERMARKT's facade and interior used as a digital canvas. Artists
explore Wedding's changing role in relation to their own artistic
developments. How does the city and this particular neighbourhood
reflect our desires and notions of identity? How can a place like
SUPERMARKT remain in balance with its surrounding communities?<br>
<br>
"Illuminations of Wedding" consists of an exhibition featuring
projection mapping, video art, A/V performance and photographic
works, an open workshop and a panel discussion. On Thursday
afternoon, artists will demonstrate their process-based practices of
video art in a roaming workshop, including hands-on camera and
editing techniques to capture location-based footage from the
streets of Wedding. On the Friday evening the "Illuminations of
Wedding" exhibition will be launched, featuring a video installation
and a series of photographic works by Vancouver-based artist Malcolm
Levy, all produced in Wedding's Brunnenviertel. A site-specific,
projection-mapping installation on the facade of SUPERMARKT by the
Wedding-based artist, AUTO64 (Stattbad) will celebrate the
community, with visual material filmed in the area mapped back onto
the physical structures in and around SUPERMARKT. The evening will
conclude with an audio-visual performance by Berlin-based digital
music and video artist, Peter Kirn, using field recordings from the
surrounding Kiez. On Saturday afternoon, a panel discussion with
take place with the artists and other guests, moderated by Kristin
Trethewey (Sourcefabric) and Michelle O'Brien (SUPERMARKT). In
fitting with transmediale's 2013 theme BWPWAP, the discussion will
focus on the themes of urban expressionism, shifts within network
culture and society, and the role of public art and
technologically-mediated interventions for evolving communities.<br>
