Playground Berlin http://www.playground-berlin.org/ Established in 2009, Playground Berlin is a collective of international artists dedicated to art collaboration, creation and presentation. Using a variety of media, the group creates extravagant experiences, giving a home and visibility to the independent contemporary world wide art scene. Blurring generational, national, cultural and sexual boundaries, Playground Berlin's projects offer an unique synaesthetic experience; integrating visual art, music, sensuality, technology and ecology, allowing life and art to deliriously converge. Playground's skills combine architecture, visual- and graphic art, electronic music production, interactive & sound art, food art, urban gardening, ecological agriculture, event & cultural management, curating, performance and choreography. The team has cooperated successfully on several artistic events, notably the La Crèche exhibition project that took part in the 7th Berliner Kunstsalon art fair, reaching over 10.000 visitors.

Clemence de la Tour du Pin
"What owes the space to the silence? Still not sure" 2011
(video projection, neon light and writing)

Clemence de La Tour du Pin is a French artist currently working in Berlin. Her performative installations "become messy monuments to their own creative process," capturing elements of the everyday, with found materials and familiar themes recurring throughout the spaces she manipulates.

At the midpoint of the Mica Moca project at this location, Clemence de la Tour du Pin presents an animation which refers to the ephemeral nature of such art projects. With Berlin changing and getting more commercially developed, she questions whether the possibilities it offers to artists will still be available in the future.

Noted photographer and documentary filmmaker J.Jackie Baier presents us with a deeply personal and unglamorized view of Berlin's sexual underground. Baier portrays in a non-voyeuristic way the lives of transsexual prostitutes, drag queens and other "misfits".

Abstract graffiti inspired backgrounds live with color and texture are met with intensely realistic images. Highly rendered portraits float atop layers of ambient space and geometric forms. Contemporary street art techniques and materials collide with those of the realist oil painters James admires. </p> <p>Addison’s purpose (it seems) is three-fold: to amuse us the first time we discover one of his pieces, to draw us in—inviting us to take a closer look, and to make us stop and see every minute detail—and in a sense, to stop and see him.</p> <p>More Info: <br /> <a href="http://www.jamesbullough.com">www.jamesbullough.com</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.idrawalot.com">www.idrawalot.com</a> <br /><a href="http://www.playground-berlin.org/">www.playground-berlin.org/</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/playground-berlin?a=tOHR6dsrt6I:cnG42CvOBg8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/playground-berlin?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/playground-berlin?a=tOHR6dsrt6I:cnG42CvOBg8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/playground-berlin?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/playground-berlin/~4/tOHR6dsrt6I" height="1" width="1"/> Thu, 21 Jul 2011 18:34:12 +0200 FDF77D7C-AABD-4F7F-8E92-D24084B77B8A http://www.playground-berlin.org/ Paul Polaris, Tobias von Glenck & Martin Lorenz - von und zu - at Playground Berlin/Mica Moca Paul Polaris, Tobias von Glenck & Martin Lorenz - von und zu - at Playground Berlin/Mica Moca

For the "von und zu" performance which Paul Polaris presented at Kunstverein Zurich she worked with objects covered in wood-, marble,- and steel-like material and experimented with their sounds and meaning. She has now developed this idea into a cooperation with the two musicians Tobias von Glenck & Martin Lorenz and their project Trabant Echo. With e-bass and turntables they improvise on classical music samples, "imitating" acoustic instruments and thereby generate new sounds. Jointly the three artists explore their aim to work on fragile moments, creating a dense carpet of sounds, movements and images.

Playground Berlin Weekend at Mica Moca: site-specific installations & performances.

An international selection of artists has been invited by Playground Berlin to conceive site specific work for the Mica Moca building, a former safe factory in Berlin Wedding. The presentation covers performances, installations, video-art and concerts.

Established in 2009, Playground Berlin is an international collective dedicated to independent art collaboration and presentation. Blurring generational, national, cultural and sexual boundaries, Playground Berlin's projects offer a delirious convergence of visual art, music, mixed media installations and performances.

From subtle architectonic interventions, to participatory performances, to installations made from found materials to projections; many of the invited artists have ample experience creating informal ephemeral installations for Berlin's much quoted „temporary spaces“ - the city's special post-Wall situation of limitless derelict space, small means, and a lack of professional art structures has created the setting for what has become an art historic niche for independent artists.</p> <p>PLAYGROUND BERLIN:</p> <p>Established in 2009, Playground Berlin is an international collective dedicated to independent art collaboration and presentation.

An old safe factory on Lindowerstrasse 22, Berlin is the setting until the end of September.
