Artist Talk / daadgalerie
Thursday 21st May – 6:30pm
A master of the moment, Jirí Kovanda nudges gently at the limits of freedom and the realties of our relationships both interpersonal and geopolitical with his thrilling, defiant, and intimate performances. For a glimpse behind the curtain at the concepts and the creator, begin your Berlin art weekend with the intellectual liberation of an artist talk from Jirí Kovanda at daadgalerie.

Vernissage / Autocenter
Friday 22nd May – 7pm
With an exploration of the performative power of language and speech as a political act, Autocenter offers up a group show dizzyingly relevant to the contemporary moment. Questioning the word, the voice, and the act, Re-Discoveries IV brings together the work of Erik Bünger, Peter Rose, Katarina Zdjelar for a rigorously aesthetic discursive analysis both broad and bold.
