The exhibition What is Modern Art? (Group Show) which takes place in Berlin from 29 September until 29 October 2006 in parallel to ArtForum Berlin gathers a series of art projects that have contributed to the development of a specific art practice based on anonymity and copying. These projects examine authors, exhibitions and institutions central to 20th century art (and its historiography), using copies to de- and reconstruct their specific art historical events and narratives. Some of them, with roots in the (South-Eastern) European art scene of the 1970s-80s, became a central point of inspiration for a younger generation of artists. So far, Salons, Mausoleums and Museums with permanent exhibitions have been established in New York, Belgrade and, most recently, Berlin.

What is Modern Art (Group Show) is the first exhibition internationally to gather these projects in a comprehensive group exhibit at the Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien, the Galerie 35 and the Museum of American Art in Berlin. It is being curated, or rather edited, by Inke Arns (Berlin) and Walter Benjamin (New York).

The exhibition at Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien includes Collection of Drawings of an Art Amateur Made on his Travels through a Mysterious and Faraway Land, 1900, Moderne Kunst from the Museum Folkwang, Hagen 1904, and From the Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1905-1913). All three works are by the Salon de Fleurus (New York), and examine the art of the 19th and the early 20th centuries. They are on display at the Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien in Studio 1 on the first floor. Studios 2 and 4 feature the International Exhibition of Modern Art (Armory Show), 2013, and Kazimir Malevich's Last Futurist Exhibition 0,10, two important exhibitions that took place in the US and Russia between 1913 and 1916. Studio 2 also contains Alfred Barr's Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1936, while new works by the Museum of American Art focusing on documenta 2 (1959) can be found in Studio 1, ground floor: Arnold Bode, Documenta II - Opening (1959), Arnold Bode, Documenta II - Visitors (1959), Porter McCray, Documenta II - Americans (1959) and Dorothy Miller, Neue Amerikanische Malerei (1958).

As the Museum of American Art in Berlin-Friedrichshain shows its permanent collection (predominantly representatives of Abstract Expressionism 1953-59), the Galerie 35 presents Recent Works by Piet Mondrian, accompanied by video recordings of lectures by Walter Benjamin and Katherine Dreier.





A number of galleries and art spaces are also having openings,performances and events over the weekend, so keep your eyes open ; - )

The season gets going

21 - 23 September 2006

Walid Raad/ The Atlas Group
at the Hamburger Bahnhof, berlin
Opening 21 September, 2006 8 PM
Exhibition 22 September, 2006 - 7 January 2007

The Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin is to present the first large solo exhibition of The Atlas Group. The Atlas Group was founded by Walid Raad (b. 1967 in Chbanieh/Lebanon) in 1999 to research and document the contemporary history of Lebanon, in particular the years of the civil war (1975-1990). The Archive set up by The Atlas Group focuses on found and produced photographic, audiovisual, and written documents of everyday life in Lebanon. These include snapshots from the private albums of the (fictive) Lebanese historian Dr. Fadl Fakhouri or the videotapes of Souheil Bachar, who together with five Americans (allegedly) was a hostage in Beirut in 1985 (Hostage: The Bachar Tapes (#17 and #31), 2000). Everyday experience of the civil war is ever present without being explicitly represented, such as in the series of engines which are found scattered throughout Beirut after the detonation of car bombs, or in Walid Raad’s own photographs of the Israeli invasion into Lebanon in 1982 (We Decided To Let Them Say, “We Are Convinced,” Twice, 2002). Walid Raad’s works are characterized by an aura of the documentary while fracturing it at the same time. Because the authenticity of the written, pictorial, and audiovisual document is always queried, with The Atlas Group project Walid Raad is also continually posing the question how history – in particular one marked by the trauma of a civil war as in Lebanon – can be told and represented.
With eleven photographic and video works from the last ten years as well as two newly produced photo series, the exhibition presents a comprehensive review of The Atlas Group project. A film program featuring works by Harun Farocki, Lisa Steele, Peter Greenaway, and John Smith complements the exhibition.

23. September - 4. November 2006
daadgalerie Berlin - Zimmerstraße 90/91 - 10117 Berlin
Eröffnung: 22. September 2006, 19 - 21 Uhr

Die daadgalerie präsentiert ab 23. September ANATOMY, eine neue Installation der belgischen Künstlerin Ana Torfs (1963).

Torfs setzt sich in ihren Arbeiten oftmals mit Gegebenheiten unseres westlichen kulturellen Gedächtnisses auseinander. Dabei spielt die Verbindung zwischen Text und Abbildung, zwischen Lesen und Visualisieren eine zentrale Rolle. Ana Torfs eröffnet mit ihrem Werk neue Perspektiven auf vermeintlich bekannte Geschehnisse und lässt diese überraschend aktuell erscheinen.

Taking Control - Spaceflight For Humans/SPACE SOON
9 SEP 2006 – 10 SEP 2006 / Main Space
This is a two day event in various Roundhouse Spaces (Main Space and FREEDM Studio).
Featuring Marcus Ahlers /Takt Galerie, Berlin

THE ARTS CATALYST PRESENTS
SPACE SOON
ART AND HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT

9–13 September

What do artists think about the human desire to leave the Earth's cradle? For a short, intense period the Roundhouse will be transformed into a mixture of rocket factory, Mars rehearsal habitation and spaceship sleeping quarters in a series of installations and events about Space.

Aleksandra Mir, renowned for her large-scale sitespecific performance 'First Woman on the Moon', constructs a vast rocket from ready-made materials in the cavernous main space. Outside, N55 and Neal White build a 'Space on Earth' station, a rehearsal for living on other planets, while below, the Roundhouse
Studios is transformed as London Fieldworks perform 'SpaceBaby', a real-life experiment into the genetics of sleep.


Taking Control - Spaceflight For Humans:
THE SYMPOSIUM

In this 2-day symposium, scientists, artists and entrepreneurs discuss the future of space exploration from the human perspective, exploring the past, present and near future of human space exploration, the human body in space, the design of space habitats conducive to human beings, and current moves by artists and space entrepreneurs to take space travel out of the exclusive control of the space agencies.
