In a New Context
Exhibition, Performances and Workshop
Tue, Sep 11–Sun, Sep 23, 2007
at St. Johannes-Evangelist-Kirche, Auguststrasse 90, Berlin-Mitte
This exhibition, with works by Helen Cho, Hanayo, Yoon Lee, Yudi Noor, Yukihiro Taguchi – all young Asian artists who live in Berlin – proves that identity grows within context. For two weeks the neo-Romanesque church architecture will become the scene of constant reconfiguration. The installations, which the artists transform daily, are accompanied by performances and workshops. In her workshop Berlin Flowers, Yuka Oyama, drawing on a Japanese tradition, invites visitors to produce decorative artificial flowers from objects they bring with them.
