*Further information*

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?

On Thursday afternoon you're invited to our 'Trash' Workshop on 
upcycling and creative uses of waste for Wedding's community, led by 
Julia Vernersson & Ruuta Vimba from Kulturlabor Trial&Error e.V.. On 
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, and sculptural works by architectural 
sculptor Hendrik Czakainski. A site-specific, LED-Throwie installation 
on the facade of SUPERMARKT by Semiramis Ceylan & Jaime Schwartz 
[Graffiti Research Lab Germany] and projection mapping installation by 
Wedding-based artist AUTO64 [STATTBAD Berlin] will celebrate the 
community, with visual material mapped onto the physical structures in 
and around SUPERMARKT. The evening will conclude with an audio-visual 
performance from Berlin-based composer and musician, Peter Kirn 
[Creative Digital Music & Create Digital Motion], an abstract musical 
topography produced from words and sounds recorded in the neighbourhood. 
Live visual performance by Jem the Misfit creates a collage representing 
these narratives in optical form.

On Saturday afternoon, a panel discussion with take place with 
artist/curator Malcolm Levy, curator/cultural manager Susa Pop [Public 
Art Lab Berlin] and representatives from Graffiti Research Lab Germany, 
moderated by Kristin Trethewey and Michelle O'Brien. 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.
