Run-time Projects
Conversely Yours
1 May –7 Jun
Jan Werner
Conversely Yours, 2024
Intervention
Conversely Yours is a travelling sound piece consisting of a wooden loudspeaker with two asymmetrical membranes. The object can be placed temporarily in different spaces, where it connects with the surrounding environment and uses an infinitely randomized sequence to create a continuous acoustic experience, with no fixed position.
Unhörbar
1 May –7 Jun
Käthe Kruse
Unhörbar, 2026
Open Studio
Using twelve secondary colours – already developed in the 1990s for her annual colour-stripe paintings on the basis of astrological colour associations – Käthe Kruse paints the records of the double LP 3927 Wörter. As she does so, the brush dipped in oil paint and the turntable’s pick-up arm move towards one another. The music plays only until the brush and the needle are touching.
Unwalling Hanseatenweg
1 May –7 Jun
Arno Brandlhuber, Constanze Haas
Unwalling Hanseatenweg
Research Project
The project “Unwalling” examines the accessibility of Werner Düttmann’s 1960 Akademie building and the hierarchies contained in it. In their research, Constanze Haas and Arno Brandlhuber explore the curtain rails: where the curtain fabric was originally intended to create a “soft” transition between inside and outside, between open and closed, today it acts more as a marker for access control. Manuel de Villiers and Jakob Deider respond to the site with a “Manifesto by Lyrics”.
fm-scenario.net
1 May –7 Jun
Eran Schaerf
fm-scenario.net, 2013
Listening & Editing, DE/EN
fm-scenario.net uses the internet as a production platform, with users taking on the role of co-producers. The project is based on five radio plays by Eran Schaerf, whose narratives the artist offers up anew for reassembly. On the website, users can sample audio tracks from these fragments and listen to tracks compiled by other users. During Berlin Carousel, visitors’ activity on fm-scenario.net will be broadcast in Halle 3.
fm-scenario.net is a co-production by: Bayerischer Rundfunk/Hörspiel, Medienkunst; A Production e.V., Berlin; Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; Hartware MedienKunstVerein, Dortmund; Les Complices, Zürich; Museum für Konkrete Kunst, Ingolstadt; ZKM, Karlsruhe; Kulturstiftung des Bundes
Wehende Gedanken
1 May –7 Jun
Raul Walch
Wehende Gedanken, 2026
Interventions
The textile installations designed by Raul Walch blend – inside and outside the building – into the Akademie’s open architecture, complementing it with flowing, colourful elements. This gives rise to ideas for spaces of engagement, encounter and transformation. A textile workstation will be integrated into the overall structure developed by raumlaborberlin. The project will also involve a collaboration with students from the Academy of Fine Arts Mainz.
Various materials, acrylic paint, found textiles
