12th Berlin Biennale Sculptures

The Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art takes place every two years at varying locations in Berlin and is defined by the differing concepts of its renowned curators. We are proud to be present at the 12th Berline Biennale with the Monuments apps for iOS and Android, including two special exhibitions ‘Monument #1 BERLIN CONFERENCE’ and ‘Monument #2 STASI HEADQUARTERS’.

The markers for the exhibition are present at the venues Dekoloniale and Campus for Democracy of the 12th Berline Biennale. Please click here for more information.

Utopian Tours

In Utopian Tours, augmented reality sculptures function as “Monuments of the Future”, and are interwoven in an alternative narration of Berlin, performed live by Mikala Hyldig Dal. The tour presents a radically optimistic futuristic perspective on the development of sustainable social structures in an urban context. Here urban space takes place as an expanded social sculpture; with humour and belief in the political potential of imagination, Utopian Tours aims to make the Freiräume, the utopian free spaces we dream of, experienceable in the present. In a city endangered by gentrification, artistic tourists are connected with urban activists in a sci-fi journey through Berlin, Kreuzberg. Invited artists and activists have created interventions in public space along the path of the guided tour. Multi-media installation, talks and performances at Galerie Alpha Nova Find out more…
