Schinkel Klause has turned into a stage for a violently sexy love story between Lee’s new animatronic work Endless House (2021) and Giger’s iconic Necronom (Alien) (1990) sculpture. Lee’s sculpture is inspired by Frederick Kiesler’s Endless House – an unrealised architectural project of a biomorphic, continuous space, which Kiesler saw as ‘endless like the human body – there is no beginning and no end’. The idea of body being an endless house becomes something more sombre in the case of Lee’s sculpture. Her Endless House is a metaphor for a fear of entrapment: an entrapment of a body that is endlessly abused. Lee’s sculptural ‘cell’ is protruded with holes – exposing the fragility and vulnerability of the slime smeared insides that rotate hypnotically. In a homage-like gesture, the artist matches the colour of the gooey ‘slime’ and ‘intestines’ that turn in the middle of her Endless House with that of the Alien sculpture – as if the creature had implanted itself inside Lee’s work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ HR Giger & Mire Lee ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sep 18, 2021 - Jan 02, 2022⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Curated by Agnes Gryczkowska @agnesgryczkowska ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Assistant Curator: Hendrike Nagel @hendrike.nagel ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Funded by Hauptstadtkulturfonds #hauptstadtkulturfonds, Mondriaan Fund @mondriaanfonds and Koreanisches Kulturzentrum #koreanischeskulturzentrum.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Special thanks to Antenna Space, Shanghai @antennaspace and Tina Kim Gallery @tinakimgallery for their generous support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Additional thanks to Schweizerische Botschaft in Berlin #schweizerischebotschaftinberlin ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sequence: Mie Lee, Endless House (2021) (detail).

The second episode of Human Fly takes us back to ://aboutblank @aboutblank - in August Bendik Giske @bendikgiske and Wojtek Blecharz @voytek_blehash performed “RHIZOME for saxophone and 160 wireless speakers”, with lights by Theresa Baumgartner - the composition of their piece unfolded in the overgrown garden between the performers and the bodies of a listening crowd. While the performance seized the space temporarily, destined to disappear when its protagonists leave, POLIGONAL – Office for Urban Communication @poligonal.berlin and Noam Brusilovsky @dernoam have created two sound installations that will tangibly stay at ://about blank. “Nothing that ever was changes” sets out in search of disappearing queer spaces in Berlin.

DISAPPEARING BERLIN CAFÉ KEESE HANIA RANI & DOBRAWA CZOCHER 8 OCTOBER 2021 8PM Doors open 9PM Concert 10.30PM DJ Special guest >> Let’s dance Please register here https://forms.gle/ewpEUpNx5GK3NbYQA Ticket 10 € ***Tickets can only be bought at the door at the day of the event. Only cash, no card payment <3 The Charlottenburg based Café Keese is one of Berlin’s last, long-established and active dance halls. Ladies' choice, gentlemen's choice, desk phones - terms that belong to an everyday experience at the third generation run Café Keese sound rather alien to a younger generation today. DISAPPEARING BERLIN celebrates the place’s fallen-out-of-time character. A classical piano and cello concert is followed by a long-desired night of dancing. The pianist and composer Hania Rani and the cellist and composer Dobrawa Czocher, both at home in the context of classical music, present their new, not yet released album Inner Symphonies (Deutsche Grammophon). In their new album the two young musicians combine their classical approaches with an ever-curious interest in other forms of music and art, without restricting themselves to genres. The theme of connectedness, both personal and musical, runs like a red thread through their compositions. Cast: Hania Rani (piano) @haniarani Dobrawa Czocher (cello) @dobrawaczocher, Kornelia Gradzka (strings) @korneliagradzka, Pawel Czarny (strings), Agata Dankowska (sound tech), Deutsche Grammophon (label) @dgclassics DISAPPEARING BERLIN is a performance and music program produced by Schinkel Pavillon that explores the potentiality of a city in change. Some of Berlin’s iconic and disappearing architectures and spaces will temporarily transform through performative and sonic experiences. DISAPPEARING BERLIN 2021 is funded by the Federal Cultural Foundation @kulturstiftungdesbundes Artistic Director: Marie-Therese Bruglacher @m_a_r_e_s_e Project Management: Anja Lindner @anja_li_de Production assistant: Patrick Kohn @
