Transitory programs for recycling practices: art and music events as a social and urban renovation engine.
From an idea to the first achievement: a contemporary art intervention in form of installation as a direct reactivation phase for an abandoned public building located in a North-East Italian town. Storyboard of the process, actual situation, opportunities and future possibilities, bringing the case-study to the attention of the Berlin's scene, capital of recycling practices through arts and events. An open dialog to define possible onward developements.

"Are there any fun events happening tonight?" intends to explore the culture of event consumption in the metropolis. In fact, there are many fun events happening every night, from a variety of organisers, yet the question is continuously asked among friends each night. Each Artist has been curated into the program based on the various mediums they work with, from Poetry, Comedy, Theatrical work and Socially conscious performance. The event will be hosted by Sanford Wintersberger from Sanfordkaraoke, who will play with the idea of the host and what that means for a "successful" event structure.

Künstler, Künstlerin will be presenting four artists performing 30 minute sets in our first feature-based event. The artists are;

Beate Björkengren, Ian Memgård & Zola Gorgon
Ian Mbelle
Alexander Norton and Deer Dianx
Crista Siglin
Sanford Wintersberger

We begin at 9pm and advise people to come around 8:30pm to ensure a seat and a prompt start time. Admission is 3 euros and this money goes back to each Artist who performed and the production of the event.

Künstler, Künstlerin aims to provide a platform for artists of all mediums to express, explore, push and elaborate on their ideas without fear of failure. We work on a community basis working with artists whom are based in Berlin.

Rainbow Unicorn presents Death Star by David Amberg. The video installation investigates themes of authenticity and locality inside a Star Wars video game and tries to grasp how our understanding of these themes is shaped by contemporary digital technology as well as (art)historical images.

For the opening R&D will do a performative intervention.

Reading: 20:00 by David Amberg
Performance: 21:00 by R&D

A reactive system creates a sensorial landscape by tracing the resonant body in interaction with its surrounding frequencies.

Dear AUGB members,
our next meeting will be part of Club Transmediale (CTM) Vorspiel festival. We are glad to welcome the fabulous dj and producer Monibi. She will present her song project "Do you want me", that is the opener of her debut EP. Monibi will also talk about routing (yay!), her big enemies (mixing bass and arranging booo), creative strategies (how to move on when you stuck), her workflow (how do get to a finished track) and will show you some of her go-to tools. After the presentation Monibi will do a short showcase. So don't miss that date!
