Project Space Festival Berlin
The PROJECT SPACE FESTIVAL BERLIN invites visitors on a month-long trip through Berlin’s independent art scene. During the Festival, 30 Project Spaces will open their doors for a new surprise event occurring every day of August. Each participating space will realize one event within a 24-hour period. The program of the festival is as diverse as its participating project spaces: planned events include performative city tours, one-day-only exhibitions, and culinary get-togethers. Here on our website, you will find the location, date and time of each space’s event, however, the content of the event itself will be revealed only the week prior. With a broad selection of participants the PROJECT SPACE FESTIVAL BERLIN provides a momentary slice of the city’s independent scene, offering a platform to consider the idea of what the term ‘project space’ can mean. Usually what project spaces share in common is what they are not – not a white cube, not institutional, usually not commercial. Project spaces typically focus on artistic experimentation, spark dialogue, nurture local art communities and are a labor of love of those who run it. Creatively working with limited funds the project spaces are seismographs of cultural trends, operating under conditions of simultaneous freedom and fragility. It is the PROJECT SPACE FESTIVAL BERLIN’s intention to put the work of its hosts in the foreground and celebrate with the public the ever-shifting independent art scene in Berlin. www.projectspacefestival-berlin.com FOUNDERS ONGOING SINCE 2014 Agora «Stravaganza» with Beth Dillon, Tomás Espinosa, Renata Har and Caique Tizzi, Day 2 of Project Space Festival 2014.
