Screening / Kleine Humboldt Galerie
Thursday 23rd July — 7pm
Settle in for another hot Berlin art weekend with a night of cool, sweet, screening stimulation at the Kleine Humboldt Galerie. Retooling found footage from Turkish erotica that managed to make its way past the censors of the 1980s, Zeynep Tuna constructs a new vision of melodrama, corporeality, and the stories we tell about sexuality — perfect fodder for a hot Friday night.

Presentation / KW Institute for Contemporary Art
Thursday 23rd July — 8pm
KW Institute for Contemporary Art is renowned throughout Berlin for exceptional curating and aggressive, boundary-pushing exhibitions that foreground artistic risk-taking. In conjunction with the latest KW exhibition to touch down in the contested landscape of the avant-garde, Thursday night Antonia Baum and Markcus Staiger will be discussing the social construction of violence as well as the development and production of their own work on the subject in an artist talk guaranteed to stimulate the mind and activate the aesthetic experience of the exhibition (in German only).
