Stadträume erinnern mich ein wenig an Webstücke. Im gemeinsam-geteilten Raum, gestalten wir unsere räumlich-sozialen Gefüge mit unseren Themen, Motivationen, Bedürfnissen, und durch unser Handeln. Verwebte Vielschichtigkeit. Wie passend, dass der Begriff „Gefüge“ auf Englisch mit „fabric“, dem „Stoff“, übersetzt wird.
Vor einigen Jahren hat dieser Gedanke mich an den Webrahmen gebracht. Weben als Tätigkeit zum Nachdenken, Verarbeiten und Sinnieren. Heute eine herzliche Einladung zu:

flicker film by graw böckler
istanbul / berlin 2015-2022
the political and cultural repression after a prevented coup d´etat was all over the media when we received a six month travelling fellowship to istanbul. also being for the first time in a country with a muslim population majority, we were a bit hesitant if we could film and photograph everyone and everything – which is our way of working.
after a period of familiarisation we realize that our worries were idle. people are friendly and generally do not mind to be photographed. police forces are visible but not interested in us as long as we don´t film them. a vibrant street life makes the culture very approachable. the architecture and the urban planning are mirroring the political structure and changes in society. the speed and dimension of gentrification processes are insane. the public transport is partly happening by boat and allows incredible views on the city landscape. the hilly structure opens overall views to other neighbourhoods all the time. during our tours to far away outskirts we noticed how endless and culturally diverse istanbul is. it feels like a whole country condensed in a city space. we were amazed how safe and freely we could move around. another sensation are the cats who are all over the place. people build little houses in the streets and feed them.
we started to make friends and realized that our enthusiasm was very different to what people from istanbul felt. the art scene was struggling with repression and a lack of financial support. the government shut down bars and outside restaurants. licences to sell alcoholic beverages were retracted. the music and nightlife scene was suffering. many artists were actually leaving istanbul, many of them towards berlin. people who had a connection to the gülen movement lost their jobs or worse, they went to prison. the same could happen if one was associated to the gezi-park-protests – an incident that many remembered as the last time they had hope for a change to the better.
during the six month stay in istanbul we were caught between an atmosphere of declining social freedom and the exhilarating pulse of a dynamic metropolis in constant transformation. after lots of experimentation we found a way to edit the material that reflected our experience: 6 frames one shot, 6 frames another shot, 6 frames one shot, and so on – always combining two images into a flickering video stream – as if two contradictory minds are melting together inside your brain.

+ Info
Nan Hoover (* 12 May 1931 in Bay Shore, New York as Nancy Dodge Browne; † 9. June 2008 in Berlin as Nancy Hefti-Browne) belongs to the pioneers of international light, video and performance art. She also used the mediums of drawing, painting, photography and film and created art objects and sculptures. One of the main themes of her art was light and motion. The rigorous, minimalist handling of her means as well as the intense concentration with which she performed within spaces of light and shadow are the most salient characteristics of her artistic work. https://www.nanhooverfoundation.com/
Hanna Hartman
Having developed her very own language, the Swedish sound artist and composer Hanna Hartman creates compositions that are exclusively made up from authentic sounds which she has recorded around the world. Sounds are taken out of their original context and thus perceived in their purity. Hanna Hartman seeks to reveal hidden correspondences between the most diverse auditive impressions and in new constellations she creates extraordinary worlds of sound. http://www.hannahartman.de
Audrey Chen
Using the voice, cello and analog electronics, Chen’s work delves deeply into her own version of narrative and non-linear storytelling. A large component of her music is improvised, is completely un-processed and her approach to this is extremely personal and visceral. Her playing explores the combination and layering of an analog synthesizer, preparations and traditional and extended techniques in both the voice and cello. She works to join these elements into a singular ecstatic personal language. For nearly two decades, her predominant focus has been her solo work with the voice, cello and electronics, but she has more recently, in the last four years, begun to shift back towards the exploration of the voice as a primary instrument. http://www.audreychen.com
Tara Transitory
aka One Man Nation makes work which some consider art, some consider music and some consider trash. Clearly, it never quite fits into demarcated categories. She is trans, nomadic and is exploring the intersections of gender, noise and ritual through sound, performance and the collective trance.
Currently, she has taken a hiatus from running the space e x t a n t a t i o n in Chiang Mai as well as her solo work. Instead she is focusing her energies on her collaboration with Nguyễn Baly as Nguyễn+Transitory, a living work which tries to explore touch, vulnerability, vibrations, frequencies, noise, rhythm and performance from a slightly less colonial, intersectional feminist angle as well as attempting to empirically learn more of the various Southeast Asian+diaspora queer existences and lost narratives. Concurrently, she is working on the International //gender|o|noise\\ Underground, a collection of video documents made of ephemeral public interventions done in collaboration with other Asian trans* women such as Jenny Quỳnh Phương, Nguyễn Thiện Phúc and Kandy Zyanide (สุกุล ดงน้อย). http://onemannation.com/

“Beneath the City – Uncovering the Old Melbourne Cemetery below the Queen Victoria Market”
The research project “Beneath the City – Uncovering the Old Melbourne Cemetery below the Queen Victoria Market” examines the “Old Melbourne Cemetery” in Melbourne (Australia) where the Queen Victoria Market is now located. The work in progress was developed by the artist Julia Herfurth in collaboration with Melbourne filmmaker Scott Lewis during an artist residency at Testing Grounds in Melbourne in 2023. The mixed-media installation consists of interviews, prints, film and photographs. This is the first presentation of the project in Berlin.

#Marina Cyrino is a Brazilian flutist, sound artist and researcher currently based in Berlin. She works across the fields of improvisation, composition, instrument building and performative audio-visual installations. Her flute playing is characterized by singular techniques developed through the use of inside amplification. She explores subtle transformations of the air streams inside the flute’s tube and inside the flutist’s oral cavity, creating a constant kaleidoscopic movement of air-sounds shaped through unvoiced consonants, vowels and plosive sounds. The rhythmic use of the flute, the extensive use of objects and balloons attached to the instrument, and the use of disassembled flute parts are other striking elements of her playing. One of her main performative strategies is to play with flute stereotypes, revisiting and re(hear)sing Western flutist figures. By removing these figures from their original context and performing them in relation to the construction of Western modes of thinking, she experiment with playing-the-flute/ performing-the-flutist as a method for dismantling the different economies of an ‘universal’ narrative that imposes Western thinking as center of knowledges, languages and imaginations.
#Laura.aLL the brazilian artist works and lives in Berlin and since 2004 she has been the guitarist of the band M.i.p.V _ Músicas intermináveis para Viagem (“Endless Music For Tripping”). She is an artist and researcher with a multidisciplinary background encompassing music and its relateds, performing arts, photography, video, chemistry and communication-journalism. Her work ranges from experimental art to ambient music, psychedelic rock, electroacoustic, noise and minimal.
#Roberta WJM Andreucci is a percussionist, an experimental producer and DJ, and on air personality. She has more than twenty year of experience organizing and promoting alternative music events. She practices plagiarism and the cutting and mixing of musical and ambiental aural sources. Early in her career she started focusing on the use of voices and on vocal metalinguism, focalizing on her personal practice of “cuttingandslicing” and on rhythm patterns obtained through an improper use of her tools of the trade (cdjs, cd player, md, me mixer). Through the years her percussion set morphed into a hybrid encompassing a dj booth, a radio dj one, a microphone station for electroacustic experiments, and a mnemonic butcher’s slab. She is a founding member of performing music units such as Jealousy Party, Semerssuaq, The Secretaries and Sistemi Audiofobici Burp. She is the director of the music label Burp Publications.

# Vivienne Dick was born in Donegal in 1950 and studied at University College, Dublin. Between 1977 – 1982 she lived in New York, part of a group of filmmakers whose affiliation to the music and aesthetic of punk became known as ‚No Wave‘. Working mainly on Super 8, Dick’s films from this period feature many musicians from the punk movement in NY with performances and music from Lydia Lunch, James Chance, Pat Place, Adele Bertei, and Ikue Mori. Dick returned to Ireland in 1982 and then to London in 1985, where she was a member of The London Filmmakers Coop for many years and produced a number of films in 16mm, and in video. She lives in Galway, Ireland, where she teaches and continues to make films.
# Anaïs Tuerlinckx is a pianist, composer and sound artist from Brussels. She moved to Berlin in 2008, interested in the local improvised music scene. Tending to a rather physical and expending way of playing, her performances are characterized by a decidedly harsh and noisy but at the same time elegiac, breezy and spacious sound.
# Florencia Curci is a sound & radio artist and curator based in Buenos Aires. Her work focuses on noise and rhythms as relative concepts that can configure perception, communication and subjectivity. Her interest is to open meeting spaces through sounding and listening.
Her work has been presented at Centro Cultural Kirchner, Cultural San Martín [AR], Medialab Prado [ES], Tsonami Festival[CL], Aural Festival [MX], Kunst Radio [AT] and Mayhem [DK], amongst others. Florencia completed her studies in Expanded Music at the UNSAM University, and was part of the Artists’ Program of the Torcuato di Tella University. In 2017, she founded CASo – Centro de Arte Sonoro. Florencia is part of Investigaciones del Futuro (IF), a non-specific institution and a permanent workshop of thought and construction in Villa Lynch, in the Buenos Aires suburbs.
# Tatiana Heuman works in the fields of sound, movement, and media arts. She is passionate about creating and maintaining spaces that facilitate the exchange of narratives and rituals, encouraging diversity, mutual care and the formation of bonds. To achieve this, she actively organizes labs and workshops that combine Deep Listening®, sound creation, dream sharing, and somatic movement practices.
Her musical journey began in 2009, playing trumpet and drums with the free improvisation band Ricarda Cometa. In 2014, Tatiana embarked on her solo electronic music project and released two EPs in 2014 and 2016. Her first album, ‚QEEI,‘ was released in 2018 under the label Astro Nautico. She has performed in various festivals such as CTM, Heroines of Sound, and Tauron Nowa Muzyka. Recently, she released ‚Luminous,‘ her latest hybrid-club-sound work, in 2023 through Infinite Machine. Tatiana has also worked as a composer and musician for theater and dance productions with choreographers Olivia Hyunsin Kim/ddanddarakim and Constanza Macras/Dorky Park. Throughout her career, she has had the opportunity to work as an artist-in-residence at various esteemed establishments, including PACT Zollverein, Theater neben dem Turm, and Hellerau European Center for the Arts.

Als Kotti-Shop/SuperFuture haben Julia Brunner und Stefan Endewardt eine gemeinschaftliche künstlerische Praxis mit den Nachbar*innen am Kottbusser Tor etabliert. Neben dem Verweilen gehören dazu unter anderem großformatige Installationen im Außenraum, kollektive Spielplatzplanung und das wöchentliche Format „collagebasiertes Kaffeetrinken“. Dabei steht im Fokus, den öffentlichen Raum als schützenswertes Allgemeingut zu verteidigen und den Menschen in der Umgebung etwas zurückzugeben. Das Projekt „Formen der Verhandlung“ in der Berlinischen Galerie präsentiert erstmals über einen längeren Zeitraum in einem musealen Kontext die Arbeitsweisen und Strategien dieser sozial engagierten Kunst.
Anhand von theoretischen Einordnungen aus zwei unterschiedlichen Feldern kontextualisiert der Fachtag die künstlerische Praxis von Kotti-Shop/SuperFuture. Dabei wird zum einen ihr transformatives Potential beschrieben. Zum anderen arbeiten die Vorträge Beziehungsarbeit und Fürsorge als zentralen Moment der Arbeit von Kotti-Shop/SuperFuture heraus und erörtern Möglichkeiten einer emanzipatorischen Stadterneuerung.

„Ästhetik der Fürsorge“, Vortrag, Leila Haghighat
In sozial engagierter Kunst steht eine Beziehungsarbeit im Fokus, die als Fürsorgearbeit betrachtet werden kann. Diese liegt insbesondere im gemeinsamen Verweilen und Zuhören, im Bemühen, den*die Andere*n zu erkennen und zu verstehen. Künstler*innen nehmen in dieser Praxis eine Rolle ein, die sich an die durch Antonio Gramsci beschriebene Figur des organischen Intellektuellen annähert. Dies, indem sie durch diese Praxis der Fürsorge die vielfältigen Stimmen sammeln und repräsentieren und sie so in die Verhandlungen um die Nachbar*innenschaft einbringen. Dabei verdeutlicht die Betrachtung der organischen Intellektuellen als ‚Care Taker‘ den politischen Aspekt künstlerischer Beziehungspraxis.
Leila Haghighat ist derzeit Verwalterin der Professur für Kunstvermittlung an der HBK Braunschweig. Sie promoviert an der Akademie der Künste in Wien zum Thema des „double bind“ zwischen Befriedung und Ermächtigung in sozial engagierter Kunst. Hierbei fungiert die Praxis von Kotti-Shop/SuperFuture als eine ihrer Fallstudien.
„Kooperative Planungsweisen“, Vortrag mit Bilderflut, Dagmar Pelger
Mit dem Begriff Commons werden Ressourcen, die für alle zugänglich sind, wie Gewässer, Gebirge, Luft oder Sprache, aber auch die Stadt als Gemeingut bezeichnet. Ausgehend davon lassen sich in der Stadt zahlreiche Orte aufspüren, an denen eine selbstbeauftragte Planungsarbeit stattfindet, die als Commoning lesbar wird. Durch solche Praktiken des gemeinsamen Raumgebrauchs werden auch am Kotti Räume für Nachbar*innenschaft und Kunst sowie für den Kampf um verbleibende Raumressourcen offen gehalten und solidarisch geteilt. Wie lässt sich diese gemeinsame Planungsarbeit als emanzipatorische Stadterneuerung sichtbar machen und politisch operativ nutzen?
Dagmar Pelger ist Architektin und Teil von coopdisco in Berlin, einer Architektur- und Planungskooperative, die sich für gemeinwohlorientierte Stadtentwicklung einsetzt. Derzeit lehrt und forscht sie als Gastprofessorin für Nachhaltige Städte und Gemeinden am Fachbereich Architektur – Stadtplanung – Landschaftsplanung der Universität Kassel.

#Corazón de Robota – Handcrafted love synths and electronic anarchy
Corazón de Robota (aka Constanza Piña) works in various fields including new media, dance, performance, focusing in DIY synthesizers, electronic textiles and wearable technology. She focuses on experimentation with electronic media, free technologies and DIWO methodologies (do it with others / let’s do it together). Her work explores noise as a sonorous, political and cultural phenomenon. She reflects on human/non-human technological assemblages and the role of machines in our culture, questioning academia, anthropocentrism, capitalism and techno-hetero-patriarchy as agents that oppose open knowledge and the valorization of manual technical work. https://corazonderobota.wordpress.com
Teresa Riemann is a multiinstrumentalist that started to learn the piano when she was 6 years old. She abandoned classical education at age 16 and started to explore different instruments on her own: guitar, cello and – since 2012 – the drums. Since then she has developed her very unique style of convulsive percussion meanwhile being fully conscious about every tone she plays and the precise moment it is going to break into being. She accompanies her drumming with the eclectic use of her fragmented voice, spontaneously reciting frazzles of the living memory of humankind. Apart from her solo projects on drums and piano, she plays in the groups Shake the Train and Naked in the Zoo. https://soundcloud.com/teresariemann/no-such-thing-like-home

Komm rHein
by Roya Noorinezhad
Time: 19:00
Exploring the intricacies of borders and the multifaceted concept of identity, this round discussion draws inspiration from the artist’s personal experiences as a migrant in Europe and U’s involvement on the Italian-French border. Additionally, U’s keen observations of the political situation in Iran have further fueled U’s artistic endeavors.
Residing in Basel, situated along the enchanting Rhein River, the artist’s motivation led to the inception of „komm rHein “ — a thought-provoking series aimed at illuminating the repetitive cycles that trap individuals within the confines of persistent border struggles. Through this round discussion, the artist embarks on a dialogue that seeks effective approaches and innovative forms of presentation, enabling a comprehensive exploration of diverse materials.
The round discussion and coming around with Roya showcases a compelling fusion of various artistic mediums, including photographs, videos, profound texts, geometric shapes, graphs. These elements have been meticulously collected from two distinct locations: the Rhein River Roya and the Roya River Valley.
Delving into the depths of history, the Rhein River Roya segment delves into the haunting tales of individuals who were unjustly labeled as witches and callously thrown into the depths of the Rhein River from the Mittlere Brücke in Basel. The artist, Roya, empathetically connects with these characters, further emphasizing the personal significance of this exploration as U navigates U’s own limitations in swimming ability.
Through this artistic exploration, the artist invites people to contemplate the complex interplay between borders, identity, and the human condition. By shining a light on these themes and intertwining personal experiences with historical narratives, it prompts reflection, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the profound struggles individuals face within the context of borders and society.
Attendees are encouraged to immerse themselves in this captivating journey, to engage with the artworks, and to become part of a larger conversation that transcends geographical boundaries, fostering unity and fostering an appreciation for the intricate tapestry of human experiences.
Thank you for joining us on this transformative artistic exploration.

Ausstellung: 5–10 pm – Adalbertstr. 9 und Kotti-Shop, Adalbertstr. 4
Talks: 6:30–8:00 pm – Stadtteilzentrum Familiengarten Kotti e.V. Oranienstr. 34, Hinterhof, 10999 Berlin
Samstag, 17.6., 2–8 pm | ab 8 pm Party mit Konzerten, Performances und DJ’s
Sonntag, 18.6., 2–8 pm, Filmprogramm im Kotti-Shop / Ausstellungsbesuch mit Adriana Tranca (Voranmeldung unter: speculativeproperties@gmail.com)
Das Wochenende der Protestausstellung Speculative Properties thematisiert den anhaltenden Verlust von Künstler:innen ateliers in Berlin und die Verdrängung der Künstler:innengemeinschaft in der Adalbertstraße 9. Die Ausstellung ist eine Reaktion auf die Übernahme des Gebäudekomplexes am Kottbusser Tor durch die Immobiliengesellschaft Coros Management und die damit einhergehende Vertreibung von ca. 40 lokalen und internationalen Künstler:innen und Kulturschaffenden aus ihren Atelierräumen. Die Ateliers werden zu einem Ausstellungsort, an dem die Auswirkungen des Verlustes von Arbeitsräumen und des über Jahre gewachsenen Netzwerkes reflektiert werden.
Im Rahmen dieses Projekts präsentiert der Kotti-Shop eine Ausstellung und ein Filmprogramm.
Die Ausstellung „Pflanti“ ist aus den Ergebnissen der Workshopreihe „Spüren/Spuren unserer Nachbarschaft“ hervorgegangen. Die von Talya Lubinsky und Eleni Mouzourou in Kooperation mit der Jens-Nydahl-Grundschule und dem FHXB-Museum veranstalteten Workshops führten in künstlerische Methoden der Beobachtung und Kartierung (un-)sichtbarer Transformationsprozesse am Kotti ein. Die teilnehmenden Schüler:innen konzentrierten sich auf die Koexistenz von Pflanzen im städtischen Raum und auf die Auswirkungen natürlicher Elemente auf die vom Menschen geschaffene Infrastruktur.
Ein umfangreiches Filmprogramm zeigt eine Auswahl aus Dokumentar-, Experimental- und Essayfilmen. Das Programm öffnet multikulturelle und internationale Perspektiven auf den lokalen Fall, mit dem sich die Ausstellung Speculative Properties befasst: Vertreibung, Gentrifizierung, umstrittene Stadtplanung und nachbarschaftliche Widerstandspraktiken werden an verschiedenen geografischen Orten von São Paulo bis Larnaca und in vielen Sprachen untersucht.

I am not West, I am not east
Performance by Sevgi Aka
I am not west, I am not east is performed as a response to the 350m square area legally Eastern property, which remained enclosed in the West in Bethaniendamm, Kreuzberg. This piece of land was squatted by a Turkish migrant Osman Kalın who used it agriculturally and built a gecekondu. This space offers a new look at the „wall as potential” as a testimony to the former division.
The performance deals with the inability of the relocated individuals to fully fit in one culture, trying to sustain double lives, meanwhile trying to figure out who they are in the cross sections between these two locations. The work also recalls the blind spots between who we think we are and who we truly are and the aspects of the personality that we reject, and push down into our unconscious psyches. Beneath that conscious “light” lies a whole world of “darkness”, the secret piece of the personality is the shadow self, containing those very aspects of ourselves that we have strived to ignore.

PERFECT IMMORTAL MACHINE_Record Release from Valentina Berthelon
_The album was recorded by Valentina at her home studio in Berlin and mixed at Non Standard Studios by Tobias Freund.
PERFECT IMMORTAL MACHINE
S/he is a glitch of the neoliberal era of information, a hybrid body
that enjoys the blurring of boundaries, the opportunity to shape
identities in new ways and to form alliances.
S/he is an upgrade or enhancement of possibilities, a new body
condition of total fluidity and porosity, pure flexibility.
For such a body it makes no difference on which side of the system
it is positioned.
S/he is a user and a system operator at the same time, a timeless
space, a vastness like a Matrix and a place of resistance.
S/he refuses to be categorized and demands.
Her/his right to range, experiment and try on different selves.
Valentina Berthelon, known for her visual work as a media artist on projects like Recent Arts produced her first full-length album. Expressing herself as a sound artist is a new territory for Valentina. Her experience as a DJ gave her a special kind of rhythmical understanding but her love of experimental music led her to this production of vocal collages combined with a rhythm corset and harmonic layers.

END OF STORY live #003: Novo Line + Estelle Quarino
For Kotti-Shop, Novo Line(Berlin) and performer/visual artist Estelle Quarino (Geneva) present a sound-movement collaboration, uniting the Novo Line Prime* project with Quarino’s own sound-movement persona**
Piezo sensors within a bespoke latex bodysuit are manipulated by Quarino’s movements and transformed immediately to MIDI information in the Novo Line universe; transposed, transformed, and recapitulated with live effects. This feedback loop creates a living circuit connecting movement and sound, fostering an environment of indirect control of each performer’s own intuited process.
*Novo Line Prime is a performatory experiment exploring the extinct art of cassette tape-sync, allowing pre-recorded sounds to sync with live instrumentation. The recordings allow the classic Novo Line studio sounds and a more varied complexity to be delivered on 2- and 4-track cassette via tape collage. The approach shares the obtuse poly-ostinato and intuitive unplanned ethos of our pre-pandemic world Novo Line with a new sensitivity, directed towards saturated textures, ambient feelings, and aperitivi.

**Estelle Quarino, perfomer / visuel artist / special effect makeup artist and props maker for film and theater – Explores the creative process using different artistic disciplines with the aim of assembling various project perspectives related to the body in space, inspired by different dance techniques such as butoh and classical dance allowing to incorporate strange gesture, sculptural material, sound, texture, sensory and emotions.
