Spotlight on Sadie Weis

it’s a nice day for a….white wedding.
Sugar Crystals grown on neon tubing, 2011

Are you ready for 48 Stunden Neukölln and our exhibition “Reality Swap – The Alternative Status Quo”? You don’t have to wait much longer, because it will start tomorrow!!! One of the participating artists is Sadie Weis. She does pretty cool art stuff: sculptures that look like melting wax or rocks, which are decorated with all sorts of shiny material, such as plastic figures, feathers, neon-lights and colorful crystals. But so you don’t have to keep waiting, you can see some examples of her work in our Spotlight interview and read about Sadie’s interest in different materials and her ideas for 48 Stunden Neukölln.

During this year’s 48 Stunden Neukölln Festival Artconnect Berlin will show the exhibition “Reality Swap – the alternative Status Quo“. We will present six artistic positions regarding the topic of the Festival: “A Change of Perspective”. Before the show commences, we’ve put some questions to the participants, who are Dariuz Fronczak, Erica Smith, Laura Gianetti & Daniele Jost, Ralf Obergfell, Sadie Weis and Sonja Trabandt.

We talked to artist Sonja Trabandt, who was born in Germany, grew up in Kaduna, Nigeria and later graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in Sacramento, California, USA and the Schule Schule Salem, Germany. She gained her Masters degree in Photography at the University of the Arts in London in 2012. The young photographer has published her works in Berlin, Potsdam, Cape Town, New York and London, and currently lives and works in Berlin.

Review: USB-Shuffle-Show by Institut für Alles Mögliche at Abteilung für Alles Andere

Don’t worry if you cannot pronounce the name properly. All you have to know is that the Institut für Alles Mögliche (Institute for all sorts of things) is one of Berlin’s most innovative project spaces and probably one of the few art spaces located simultaneously in several different neighbourhoods. Artist and founder Stefan Riebel established different artist residencies and exhibition spaces in Neukölln, Wedding and Mitte, with the aim of organizing artistic experiments rather than displaying art in a conventional way.
