Events

The performances Cognitive Dissonance by Ben Glas and Smoke in Mirrors by Selma Lindgren invite the audience to explore the boundaries between language, perception, and trust. While Glas creates an evolving soundscape through the collective repetition of words, Lindgren examines the mechanisms of trust in times of social uncertainty through the medium of a magic show.

The performances by Susanne Grau and Selma Lindgren explore questions of encounter, trust, and human relationships. While Xenia // is it urgent? takes the form of a collective reading, dance performance, and participatory theatre piece that blurs the boundaries between observing and acting, Smoke in Mirrors examines the mechanisms of trust through the format of a magic show. Both works invite audiences to reflect on their own role in relation to others and to reconsider how connection is formed in times of uncertainty.

The group exhibition explores how capitalism shapes urban life and often suppresses invisible processes such as care, resistance, and collective solidarity. Twelve artists and performers use magic as a method to challenge these structures and bring alternative forms of coexistence and survival to light. The exhibition combines installation, painting, sound, and video into a dynamic structure that is continuously expanded through performances, inviting visitors to re-experience power, community, and urban spaces.

We cordially invite you to the closing event of the exhibition “Fenster Türen Wände”.

In her lecture performance, artist Klara Hobza recounts her endeavour of diving through Europe and illustrates her stories with temporary drawings on the asphalt, created using water from the adjacent Landwehr Canal.
