here & now

Critical Sunday is a one day-event on June 13, 2010:

Launch of the exhibition correct me if i’m critical
Felleshuset, Nordische Botschaften, Gemeinschaftshaus, Rauchstrasse 1, Berlin

2 pm: Solo Presentation: Daniel Knorr welcomes the audience!

3 pm: Lecture by Slavs and Tatars: 79.89.09 is an intimate visual, oral, and written study of two modern moments – the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and Solidarnósc of Poland – and a narrative strategy to read our recent past. The talk shows how these two events serve as bookends to two of the most important geopolitical issues of the last and current century, Islam’s confrontation with modernity and the fall of Communism.
Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum / KUNSTrePUBLIK e. V. Köpenickerstrasse 36/38, Berlin

5 – 7 pm: Discussion: ‘Is there a Berlin style?’ in collaboration with Program Gallery and Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum. Do the flux of artist-curator community in Berlin, and the transformation of the city into an art-center give us an alternative form of discussion language or context-specific grammar? Is there any specific way of discussing, producing, and working in the context of Berlin? What are the strategies and tactics behind some non-profit initiations such as Program gallery, Skulpturen Park etc. in relation to alternative economies, and autonomous structures; moreover how do these strategies/tactics influence the circulation of the artistic practices in the city? In comparison with 90’s, how does Berlin art scene look like from outside/inside? Can we describe the social, political and cultural aspects of this community?
