Jefta van Dinther
AUSLAND

Premiere as part of „Tanz im August“

Where do we draw the line between experimentation and transgression, freedom and violence? In a series of new creations working across movement, song, film, gaming, and objects, van Dinther examines the human longing for alternate realities. The audience is encouraged to navigate freely through an immersive installation – a maze of performances, each engaging with specific phenomena of our time, such as virtual escapism, deep fakes, or attachment to machines. “AUSLAND” emerges as a balancing act between subversion and illusion, where play can turn serious at any moment.

Minimum age: 12 years / english language

Duration 3 h 30 min | Admission any time

VEKTOR

MEMORIES IN LIGHT & SOUND

by Christopher Bauder

February 1st – April 7th 2024

The world premiere of the latest large scale light installation by Christopher Bauder at Kraftwerk Berlin.

After the great success of SKALAR (2018) and DEEP WEB (2016 + 2019), Kraftwerk will be filled once more by a captivating experience that seamlessly blends light, sound, and motion.

VEKTOR will be deeply rooted in Bauder’s fascination with light as a material, transforming this ephemeral form of energy into almost architectural structures that are skillfully designed to evoke abstract emotional responses.

BERLIN ATONAL 2023

Berlin Atonal returns to Kraftwerk Berlin in September 2023 for its first full edition in over four years.

The festival contains 6 concert nights spread over two weekends (07/08/09 and 15/16/17 September). Each concert night encompasses dozens of shows, all taking place in the Kraftwerk complex, which includes the powerplant as well as Tresor, Globus and OHM each day from 18:00.

Between these two concert weekends there will be a four day exhibition entitled Universal Metabolism. The exhibition invites audiences on a performative journey of artworks created or adapted for the building. Between audio-visual works, performance, in-situ sculptures, video art, and immersive sonic environments, these works materialise and dissolve in a dynamic temporal sequence, each day travelling toward a specific concert-based endpoint.

Festival passes are now sold out. Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 passes are still available as are day tickets and exhibition/concert tickets.

AROTIN & SERGHEI: Infinite Screen

For the first time in Germany the large-scale installation „Infinite Screen“ by artists duo AROTIN & SERGHEI will be shown at Kraftwerk Berlin. The immersive audiovisual art installation has been shown in changing form and contexts at the Venice Biennale, Ars Electronica, the Fondation Beyeler, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna and the Center Pompidou in Paris. Each time the modular artwork has been recomposed creating a dialogue with the collective memory of the specific place. Beginning with artistic recreations of the smallest components of digital pixels – the red, green and blue „light cells“, the artist duo questions the DNA of today’s imagery and the principle of transformation.

The artists reassemble the light cell modules of their monumental installation from the Center Pompidou and create a huge intermedial sculpture that crosses the entire building and opens up new perspectives. The main works of the exhibition are two large-scale installations, Constellations of The Future and Apocatastasis, which are specially created for the two main levels of Kraftwerk. The title Apocatastasis, refers to the ancient concept of a post-apocalyptic reset – An immersive exhibition that describes both the macrocosm and microcosm of our world, using screens as symbols and portals to infinity.

Exhibition: April 26-30.2023 daily from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Tickets here

Infinite Screen is a project by AROTIN & SERGHEI realized in cooperation with Ircam / Centre Pompidou / Festival Manifeste, La Biennale di Venezia, Klangforum Wien, WDR, Wien Modern, Ars Electronica, Fondation Beyeler Basel, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, Kraftwerk Berlin, and supported by Kira A.

Christian Hoosen „Filme, Werbung, Marx“ im Karton
im Karton International im Garten vor dem Kraftwerk & OHM-Club

VIDEO-INSTALLATION und KUNST von Christian Hoosen
MUSIC im OHM von SzaryMdslktr

Karton weltweit präsentiert neue Arbeiten von Christian Hoosen.

Christian Hoosen, geboren 1981 in Verden, lebt in Berlin.
Er behauptet vehement, ein Hund habe seine biografischen Daten gefressen. Geboren 1981 in Niedersachsen, lebt und arbeitet er als Maler, Keramiker, Pilot, Anthropologe und Therapeut in Berlin. In seinen Arbeiten analysiert er isolierte Essenzen von relevanten und irrelevanten Stimuli. Sie können sowohl physischen als auch psychischen Ursprungs sein und werden meist mit historischen oder gesellschaftlichen Themen in komplexen Gedankengängen zu einem endgültigen Werk verbunden. Grundlage dafür ist immer die Suche nach einem multikompatiblen kleinsten gemeinsamen Nenner innerhalb einer Rezipientengruppe. Es wird behauptet, dass Hoosen ein professioneller Tänzer und Vorbild für eine ganze Generation von Tänzern war. Das wird allerdings überwiegend in Frage gestellt.

Seine letzte Ausstellung B-Ware war im Frühjahr bei Dittrich&Schlechtriem zu sehen.

Die Veranstaltung ist kostenlos.

!!! ACHTUNG !!! Das Event findet im Garten VOR dem Kraftwerk sowie im OHM Club statt, es wird keinen Zugang ins eigentliche Kraftwerk Gebäude geben.

X100 – A FESTIVAL IN THE SPIRIT OF IANNIS XENAKIS

Berlin Atonal is happy to announce X100 – a new one-off festival that celebrates and contextualises the legacy of Iannis Xenakis (1922 – 1997) taking place at Kraftwerk Berlin. Xenakis’ pioneering work initialised techniques and directions that continue to inspire a variety of disciplines from architecture and drawing to music theory and light design. But a hundred years after he was born, the continuing presence of this great composer is felt most strongly in the thriving and overlapping tradition(s) of experimental electronic music – the world in which Berlin Atonal has been working.

The music of this prolific utopianist continues to not only challenge modes of temporal existence, but of how music can be imagined and shared. For this special festival his work – electro-acoustic, instrumental and vocal – will be contextualised by performances and presentations by some of the most pioneering artists working in experimental culture today.

Details and tickets are available at www.berlin-atonal.com now for each of the three festival nights as well as a festival pass that will allow entry to each night of the festival and guaranteed access to a workshop programme that will be detailed in the coming weeks. Performances will be spatialised on the main floor of the Kraftwerk powerplant with afterparties in OHM.

X100 is organised by Outer (the team behind Berlin Atonal) curated together with Studio Labour.

October 23, 2022 from 6pm

Tegel Media Speed Lounge at Karton International in front of the Kraftwerk

at Karton International (NEW!) in the garden in front of the Kraftwerk & OHM-Club (GREAT!)

VIDEO-INSTALLATION by Prizesin Haralt

READING by Joshua Groß (at 19:30, in German language)
MUSIC by Pachinko&Slot + DJ Tryniti + Bruno DJ

Tegel Media and Kraftwerk Berlin present a video installation in the brand new Karton International in front of the Kraftwerk, followed by a PDF premiere in the club.

Fast & Furious is one of the most successful film series of all time. Writer Joshua Groß is positively obsessed with the franchise about car tuning, family conflicts and CGI explosions. For Tegel Media, he has written an essay and fanfiction about his favorite cinematic content. Joshua will read from these texts live, by disco light.
At the same time, VJ team Prizesin Haralt (Lilly Urbat and Karin Kolb) will present their specific take on Fast&Furious in a walk-through video installation that opens Karton International, ongoing from 6pm.

Tegel Media has been a label for light content and positive vibes since 2017, releasing five PDFs and one video in 2022 — less content than in previous years. With the Speed Lounge, the label around writers Jakob Nolte and Leif Randt reports back.

Karton International in the front garden of Kraftwerk Berlin is brand new and from now on sometimes shows time-based art.

Admission is 5€ at the box office, there is no presale.

!!! ATTENTION !!! The event will take place in the garden BEFORE the Kraftwerk as well as in the OHM Club, there will be no access into the actual Kraftwerk building.

für gem. Chor zu 40 Stimmen

Thomas Tallis Spem in alium

Alessandro Striggio Ecce beatam lucem

Antoine Brumel Missa „Et ecce terrae motus“ à 12 vocis

Meredith Monk Earth seen from above

Alec Roths 2010 uraufgeführtes Stück Earthrise ist eine Meditation auf die Ausbeutung der Welt durch die Menschheit, auf Visionen aus dem Weltraum, ein Plädoyer für Weisheit und gegenseitiges Verständnis. Mit 8 Chören à 5 Stimmen bedient es sich dem Format von Spem in alium von Thomas Tallis. Die Motette für 40 unabhängige Stimmen ist ein Fixstern in dessen Werk. 1573 muss das Publikum bei der Uraufführung verblüfft gewesen sein, unabhängig davon, ob es die Entstehungsanekdote kannte oder nicht. Tallis soll seine Komposition als Geste des Übertrumpfens auf seinen italienischen Kollegen Alessandro Striggio geschrieben haben, der zuvor ein ähnlich monumentales Werk nach England schickte. Die 12-stimmige Missa Et ecce terrae motus des Franzosen Antoine Brumel kommt als ein Stück Zukunftsmusik daher, das die Vision einer besseren Welt entwirft. Ein Meisterwerk des Kontrapunkts, das mit dichtem Stimmengewirr, komplexer Rhythmik und schwebendem Klangbild magisch-explosive Stimmung erzeugt.

LAS presents

Robert Irwin

Light and Space (Kraftwerk Berlin)

Light and Space (Kraftwerk Berlin) is LAS’ newly commissioned and site-specific exhibition by renowned American artist Robert Irwin presented at Kraftwerk Berlin. For over five decades, Irwin’s oeuvre has been driven by his continuous inquiry into human perception and use of space. A pioneer of Light and Space, a loosely affiliated art movement related to Minimalism and geometric abstraction that originated in Southern California in the 1960s, Irwin is one of the most prolific artists to have emerged from that scene. His practice moved from early Abstract Expressionism in the 1950s to observation-based Minimalist painting, sculpture and wall-objects in the 1960s, before finally leaving the studio and object-centric practice altogether in 1970 for a strictly site-specific approach in which he conceived his art as closely shaped by the conditions of the surrounding space. The core tenets of his practice then came to the fore, favouring experiential relationships with built environments including museums and galleries, parks, gardens and other urban settings; Irwin began to work more extensively with fluorescent light.

Irwin’s Light and Space series consists of fluorescent light tubes in abstract, rhythmic yet undecipherable patterns spread on white walls with a high finish. Apart from being the largest work of its kind in Europe, this new iteration Light and Space (Kraftwerk Berlin) for the first time combines white with blue-coloured fluorescent light tubes – these are positioned on either side of a monumental 16×16 metre freestanding wall. With this work, Irwin combines his interest in Abstraction’s potential for a vision devoid of any precise object, alluding to his painterly experiments of the 1960s, with his more recent examinations of the conditions of colour perception.

The exhibition is a testament to Irwin’s ability to transform a space: he intervenes in Kraftwerk’s notable brutalist architecture to create an experience that invites viewers to immerse themselves in his experiments with light and space, challenging our perceptions and how perception can extend beyond a work of art, or, as the artist puts it: ‘How art structures the way we see the world.’

LAS presents

Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar
This Is Not A Love Show

LAS presents a series of live performances conceived by acclaimed Israeli choreographer Sharon Eyal and co-creator Gai Behar and set in the iconic building Kraftwerk Berlin.

Eyal & Behar have gained world acclaim for their artistic creations since they started working together in 2005. Trained in classical ballet and a long-term member of the renowned Batsheva Dance Company under Ohad Naharin, Eyal’s visceral style merges physicality, striking delicacy and uninhibited passion. Behar is well-known for having shaped Tel Aviv’s nightlife for years. Together their compositions are accompanied by the hypnotic sonic compositions of long-term musical collaborator Ori Lichtik, and characterised by nuanced expressions unique in contemporary dance.

Their dance company L-E-V (lev in Hebrew means heart) was founded in 2013 and is the confluence of movement, light, music, fashion and technology. Eyal’s signature style combines extreme emotions through movement. L-E-V is the culmination of years of momentum, and their original creations are delivered by fiercely talented dancers in cross-disciplinary stagings equally at home in a techno-club or opera house.

Berlin Atonal presents

Metabolic Rift

An (un)guided exhibition-tour through the entire Kraftwerk building.

The exhibition operates as a sequenced series of site-specific interventions from leading international sound and visual artists, channeling an audience’s experience through organised time. Small groups enter previously unused spaces of the former powerplant to discover a choreographed succession of artistic assemblages. Borrowing the logic of a ‘ghost-train’, the principle is accumulation and the sequence of artwork-apparitions is set as if according to a musical score. The boundaries between things shift and reassemble. Seeing and hearing happens in a chain reaction, a circulation of kinetic energy.

A full experience unfolds over approximately 2 hours. Visitors can now book a day and time to access the (un)guided tour, available until sold out.
