Panel Discussion
SURVIVE! – Who and what is taking shape here?
Alongside museums, galleries, and other kinds exhibition spaces, art project spaces and initiatives are an important factor in Berlin’s art scene and they have a unique artistic mission. Real estate and capital markets are putting pressure on the scene, so that project space initiators struggle to defend their spaces and survive. Their independence allows for a certain kind of distance from the market pressure of commercial galleries. But herein lies a dilemma: How to survive and retain the power to act?
Moreover, the aspect of a growing hipness and event character points to very different social climate in the city. An overly pragmatic and market oriented value system in urban planning models as well as institutional frameworks leads the discussion about the future of project spaces back around to the beginning: Who and what is taking shape here?

Stay hungry and NON Berlin are two project initiatives without a venue and prize winners of this year’s Art Project Space and Initiative Award. They show installations and performative formats.
stay hungry
In this exhibition, stay hungry presents a site-specific work by artist duo Pätzug/Hertweck whose main focus is to playfully challenge our everyday experience of space. By placing mechanically animated sculptural elements at the central points of contact between anthropological, architectonic and geometric spaces, the artists encourage visitors to re-evaluate and question their perceptions of space and ingrained habits.
NON Berlin
NON Berlin presents works by artists Chan Sook Choi (multimedia installation), Xiaowen Zhu (video & installation), Sylbee Kim
(Video & Installation) and Sumi Jang (performance), who seek out the hidden stories of migrants. Through personal interviews and pertinent locations, they reveal the social and political dictates of the past whose impact can still be felt today.
