DE-PLACE/RE-PLACE

Bus tour with sound art performances
Modern crises of reality are countered time after time by utopian visions of imaginary places that offer alternatives to apparently inevitable circumstances. Such utopias have, to some extent, already taken root — either as parallel contemporary worlds or as concrete initiatives with a decidedly pragmatic orientation. In an evening-long bus tour, we will be taking a look at four such places, for which artists have conceived particular sound performances. They investigate and consider place, people, action, desire, and reality. The tour begins at Haus der Kulturen der Welt and leads to the Kreuzberg network of Till Eulenspiegel kindergarten, which accommodates children from socially disadvantaged families. The route continues through dark industrial vaulted cellars — to heighten the senses — then to the postmodern Jesuit Community Church of St. Canisiuson the Lietzensee lake in Charlottenburg; and finally, in Tiergarten park, to the Research Institute for Water and Naval Engineering, also known as “the pink pipe.”
