Perform 2026 As part of the festival Trisha Brown’s Walking on the Wall will transform the architecture of the Neue Nationalgalerie into a space for movement.

Originally created in 1971, the performance will be restaged at the museum 55 years after it was first presented at the Whitney Museum in New York.

Trisha Brown (1936–2017) was one of the most influential figures in American postmodern dance. Her groundbreaking choreography challenged conventional ideas of movement, space and gravity, often bringing dance into unexpected architectural and public spaces.

Im Rahmen unseres jährlichen Performance-Festivals PERFORM! 2026 wird Trisha Browns „Walking on the Wall“ die Architektur der Neuen Nationalgalerie in einen Raum für Bewegung verwandeln.

Die ursprünglich 1971 entstandene Performance wird 55 Jahre nach ihrer Uraufführung im Whitney Museum in New York im Museum neu inszeniert.

Trisha Brown (1936–2017) war eine der einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten des amerikanischen postmodernen Tanzes. Ihre bahnbrechenden Choreografien stellten konventionelle Vorstellungen von Bewegung, Raum und Schwerkraft in Frage und brachten den Tanz oft in unerwartete architektonische und öffentliche Räume.

Saturday, 12 Sep anorak HISTORY, PRODUCTION, MEMORY: AN AUDIOVISUAL WORKSHOP WITH MARÍA RUIDO

Saturday, 12 September 2026, 12–3pm, at anorak, Gottlieb-Dunkel-Str. 43/44, 8th floor, 12099 Berlin.

Participation is free of charge, registration is required > link in bio.

In the context of the forthcoming publication of her selected writings in English (b_books, 2027), this workshop — led by the artist and the book’s editors Nicolas Helm-Grovas and Anna R. Winder — centres on Ruido’s ‚Plan Rosebud‘ project (2006–2008).

‚Plan Rosebud‘ focuses on the then-recent social debate around „The Historical Memory Act“ in Spain, and the relations between sites of memory and the politics of memory produced through the cultural industries; and on the Spanish Transition, the period after the end of Franco’s rule.

Through analysis of social movements and popular culture, it seeks to dismantle the idea that a pact among the Spanish ruling elite, led by Adolfo Suárez and King Juan Carlos, „saved“ Spain from a new civil war and paved the way for a „peaceful“ transition to a democratic regime. The project attempts to study popular culture in relation to the different social forces that were the protagonists of political change (unions, the feminist movement, neighbourhood associations and gay and le***an collectives) and analyse why and how certain images from militant cinema showing the collective efforts of these fights have been directly or indirectly censored to make possible the triumphalist, individualistic and linear narrative learned through television and the press.

In the workshop we will watch sections of the film ‚Plan Rosebud‘, collectively read fragments of Ruido’s accompanying text, and discuss these together.

The workshop will be held in English and Spanish (Spanish will be translated into English throughout).

This event is part of Nicolas Helm-Grovas’s and Anna R. Winder’s studio residency at anorak, and is supported by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion (Basisförderung für Projekträume).

It wasn’t just Alice who followed the White Rabbit…

This narrative image has become firmly anchored in the pop-cultural memory across generations and serves as a metaphor for different paths into the unknown. When we recall the images created by Lewis Carroll’s novel "Alice Adventures in Wonderland" or by its film adaptations, they transport us back to fantastical worlds. [...]

Hence, the exhibition "Follow the White Rabbit" explores our perceptual experience through a surreal arrangement. Rather than luring us into the abyss, it reinterprets seemingly inscrutable forms. At the intersection of (functional) art and (collectible) design, it opens a space in between. [...]

In This Economy?! With this almost aphoristic comment, Zuzanna Czebatul opens her solo exhibition at DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM in Cologne. One might follow it with another very dry, politely ironic form of non-commentary, such as “Is that so?”. For the highly topical bon mot used as the exhibition title is not really a question. Certainly not a question about what is possible under the present economic conditions. Rather, it is a very vague suggestion of a wide range of possible attitudes. Interpretation is thereby delegated to the person on the other side. And that is precisely why, with this title, Czebatul opens up a discussion of how indifference, an unmistakable multitude of choices and an unmanageable quantity of information lead simple answers and slogans to be so reassuring and so seductive. More fundamentally, she asks how, under these economic, political, cultural and social conditions, we speak, desire, communicate and present ourselves.

The above excerpt is from the exhibition essay Is That So? by Anna-Catharina Gebbers Anna-Catharina Gebbers, curator at Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, published by the gallery on the occasion of the exhibition.

„Cut Outs & Conversations“ by Hans-Peter Stark and Susa Templin

Exhibition: August 29 – September 26, 2026

Conversations: September 4, 11, 19 and 25, 7:30 pm – see below for more information
Finissage and reading: Sat, September 26, 7:30 pm

The exhibition Cut Outs & Conversations brings together works by Hans-Peter Stark and Susa Templin, which enter into dialogue through shared processes of cutting, layering, and superimposing their imagery. Stark and Templin approach the gallery space as a shared stage. Their works draw on individual experiences, which they explore through their visual exploration of the constantly changing urban fabric of Berlin. Alongside the presentation of their recent works, they are collaborating on an installation comprising photographic and painterly elements that opens up pictorial spaces composed of temporal and spatial layers.

Conversations
The artists have developed a series of open discussions to accompany the exhibition. The conversations will address questions relating to the art system: Who curates art, and how? How are themes and content developed? Why do artists make art, and why do curators organize exhibitions? Where do independent and established art spaces, such as institutions and galleries, intersect? How much freedom is there in working within the art world? Why exhibit art at all?

Friday, September 4, 7:30 pm
with Björn Brolewski, director of the Kommunale Galerie Parterre, Berlin

Group Exhibition “CHRYSALIS. ARTISTS IN LABS”
Opening: Fri, 25 September 2026, 8 pm

The international artists presenting their new artworks at the CHRYSALIS exhibition are all well known for their outstanding artistic research at the interface of art, science, and technology. Each is highly experienced in integrating art with new technologies and collaborating with scientists in fields such as neuroscience, artificial intelligence, climate science, soil ecology, or biodiversity.

For the CHRYSALIS project, Helena Nikonole Helena Nikonole is connecting current research on soil metagenomics with her ongoing practice with machine learning. Julius Holtz Julius Holtz is combining his practice with interactive sound art produced through a brain-computer interface with research into neuroscience and sleep science. Margherita Pevere is exploring under-researched ponds in the city of Berlin with a focus on death as an ecological driver. Marcus Maeder Marcus Maeder is translating measured environmental variation into a sonic form that makes below-ground microclimatic dynamics perceptible as a temporal and relational process.

Preview ETERNITY, a new vision of the apocalypse featuring Florentina Holzinger — a film about women, muscle cars and global collapse, with an eclectic cast that includes Holzinger and the musician Peaches

As the globe unravels, a group of friends reunites for one final summer. Escaping a world shaped by war and a collapsing climate, they hit the road in search of something real, finding fleeting moments of hedonistic freedom under the burning sun. But as they try to escape reality, the past catches up with them. Set against the backdrop of a melting glacier, ETERNITY features the art of performance artist Florentina Holzinger to explore the defining question of our time: How did we end up on a dying planet?
ETERNITY is a new film by writer and director Susanne Regina Meures

The premiere will take place at Kino International, 13th September, 11am
In attendance of Florentina Holzinger, the cast and the director.
