*Illuminations of Wedding: digital expressions within transitional urban 
space**
**Thursday 24 Jan—Saturday 26 Jan, 2013**
**Artists: Malcolm Levy (Revised Projects/New Forms Festival), Peter 
Kirn (Create Digital Motion) & AUTO64 (Stattbad)**
**Curators: Kristin Trethewey**& **Michelle O'Brien*

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.

"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?

"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.
