5 August through 27 September: Audio and video works from the collections of ‘Gelbe Musik’ and Mike Steiner.
In collaboration with Ursula Block and Mike Steiner, an archive of VHS and audio material was installed, tracing a selective history of Berlin in the Seventies and Eighties. Focusing on artists who took up residence in Berlin during these years, the archive displayed early experiments in video, sound and performance. Reassessing the notion of crossover in a historical and local perspective, ‘Journeys from Berlin’ was one step in an ongoing path of research.
