HABEN UND BRAUCHEN Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2011, 20 Uhr Am 13. Dezember vergangenen Jahres diskutierten wir im Salon Populaire gemeinsam mit zahlreichen Akteuren des Berliner Kunst- und Kulturkontextes die für Sommer 2011 geplante "Leistungsschau junger Kunst aus Berlin" sowie den damit in Verbindung stehenden Bau einer temporären Ausstellungsarchitektur am Humboldthafen. Aus der intensiven Debatte, an der auch einige der Projektverantwortlichen teilnahmen, ging die Entscheidung hervor, es nicht bei dieser einen Veranstaltung zu belassen, sondern die Auseinandersetzung über die Idee einer Berliner Kunsthalle und ihre weitreichenden kulturpolitischen Implikationen öffentlich fortzuführen. Weder wurde in der Diskussion eine schlüssige inhaltliche Konzeption erkennbar, noch konnte überzeugend dargelegt werden, inwiefern der finanzielle Aufwand der "Leistungsschau" abgesehen von stadtmarketingstrategischen Effekten und Wahlkampfinteressen des Initiators den Kulturproduzenten in der Stadt selbst zu Gute kommen könnte. Angesichts der chronischen Unterfinanzierung sowohl der Berliner Kunstinstitutionen wie auch der freien Projekte und Projekträume halten wir es für notwendig, gegen eine solche Vereinnahmung Stellung zu beziehen. Daher möchten wir im Rahmen einer weiteren Veranstaltung mit allen Anwesenden die Vorlage eines offenen Briefes diskutieren, der es den Künstlern, den Vertretern der Institutionen und allen Kulturproduzenten der Stadt ermöglicht, gemeinsam Kritik zu üben und eine Gegenöffentlichkeit zu diesem Projekt und der aktuellen Berliner Kulturpolitik im Bereich der zeitgenössischen Bildenden Kunst herzustellen.

Aktualisierte Version Artists Open Call vom 25.11.2010:
TO HAVE AND TO NEED Thursday, January 13, 2011, 8 pm Organized by Salon Populaire and Basso On December 13, 2010, Salon Populaire hosted a discussion on the "achievement show of young artists from Berlin" (projected for summer 2011) and on the related construction of a temporary exhibition architecture at Humboldthafen. The intense debate amongst numerous practitioners from Berlin's artistic and cultural context, and some of the responsible organizers of the project resulted in the decision to continue public discussions on the idea of a Berlin Kunsthalle and its far-reaching cultural-political implications. There was no coherent concept visible, nor was it convincingly demonstrated how the financial investment for an "achievement show" would benefit the cultural producers in the city despite having the effect of city marketing along with serving the initiator of the project in his political campaign. In light of chronically under financed art institutions, free projects, and project spaces, we consider it necessary to take a stand against such a form of political pick-pocketing. Therefore we would jointly like to discuss the draft of an open letter, which enables artists, representatives of the institutions and all cultural producers in the city to collectively criticize this project and the current cultural politics, in the field of contemporary visual arts in Berlin, in order to establish a counter public to this.

//// BERLIN OPEN YOUR WINDOWS by Anthony Marcellini
"The moment finally arrives...Oh, come, don't be late."*
Berlin, Open Your Windows is a project using open apartment windows as platforms for a series of temporary public declarations. From these windows a trained opera singer will project sung declarations in German regarding the city of Berlin to the passersby below. These declarations are being presented from apartments in several distinct neighborhoods throughout Berlin: Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Mitte and Prenzlauerberg. The content of each declaration is based on details specific to each neighborhood; drawn from interviews with tenants, news stories, historical and literary references, and the artist's own personal impressions and reflections on this city. Each performance will begin exactly at the stated time. It will last no longer than 5 minutes. Each performance will only be presented once.
SCHEDULE Thursday, February 25th: Kreuzberg Friday, February 26th: Friedrichshain Friday, February 26th: Mitte Saturday, February 27th: Prenzlauerberg
Berlin Open Your Windows has been made possible through
a residency at Sparwasser HQ. *Susanna's recitative and aria from Le Nozze di Figaro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
SPARWASSER HQ presents
Solvej Helweg Ovesen | Anthony Marcellini | Karin Laansoo Monday, March 1st, 8pm at FEINKOST Within the frame of the topic "public sphere-rhetoric/ offentlighed-retorik" we are delighted to welcome our two new residents Anthony Marcellini and Karin Laansoo. At the presentation they will talk about their projects that deal with the ultimate exchange between artist and audience in the making. These projects are both realized more as interventions, rather than as 'art event's. Also last years curator-in-residency Solvej Helweg Ovesen will present the work she did during her residency at Sparwasser HQ. Her work inspired us and she was part of the jury for "public sphere-rhetoric/ offentlighed-retorik". The last part of this year residency, the appointed 10 text writers, will be ready for publishing in the end of march. The residency program is here.
