ABSTRACT: Der Mythos des Künstler-Genies – ein Einzel-Talent, von der Muse geküsst, egozentrisch – so haben wir Künstler:innen lange glorifiziert. Doch damit scheint es vorbei: Ob bei der nächsten Documenta oder der Architekturbiennale in Venedig: Kollektive boomen. Woher kommt das Bedürfnis nach mehr “Wir” statt “Ich”, nach Kunst im Kollektiv? Dieser Frage geht “Twist” in […]

A multi-week program designed for people who want to work with their body. “Contamination” and “immersion” sessions explore the theme of water – our relationship with it and our place in the water cycle. Our bodies are the most intimate ecosystems we know. Taking this as a starting point, it sets up a situation where people connect with their body’s ecosystem and the wetland’s ecosystem. It is a discourse between organisms and the environment.

ABSTRACT: This artefact is called “Müllzange” – a trash picker, present with us on site from the very beginning, collecting pieces of trash from the water of the basin. The tool is especially liked by children, who love exploring the basin hunting for treasures.

The contribution of the Floating University to the ICC as part of “The Sun Machine Is Coming Down” is an attempt to transport the praxis of this hybrid association into the disused relic of the ICC and to develop new impulses for a sustainable future. Conceived of as a “Bureau for Hybridising Encounters” the Floating University Berlin will bring into the ICC for 10 days, conversations, views and materials from three years of activities and, through various discursive formats, reflect on the ideas at the heart of our work: multi-species co-habitation in urban environments and the hybridising of urban infrastructure with cultural activity.

This project is funded by German Postcode Lottery.

Spatial Experiments 2020

The space group is composed of members with diverse backgrounds who are catalysts for the visions of the association of the basin. In summer 2020, after collecting spatial visions and knowledges from the association members, a “space task force” worked towards concretizing these wishes, as well as renewing the existing infrastructure of the basin, to offer a structure supporting activities and programs during the spring and summer

Climate Care is a festival engaged with theory and practice at the intersection of climate challenges, ethics of care and environmental humanities. Emerging from weathering the conditions of its site – a rainwater retention basin in Berlin – the programme is a result of in-depth cohabitation with the constructed water infrastructure, its human culture and its multi-species overlays. 

Urban Practice is at its best when holding the complexity of the city. A practice of transformation and in constant renegotiation, deeply rooted in the arts, Urban Practice works to intersect the spheres of the socio-political, the spatio-cultural, the ecological and the pedagogical. It can be understood as a transversal approach enacting urban transformation.
