Berlin Atonal: Metabolic Rift
Curatorial assistance ︎︎︎Metabolic rift
Under the title Metabolic Rift, Berlin Atonal’s 2021 iteration takes the unusual direction of splitting into a (un)guided exhibition tour through the entire Kraftwerk space and a specially curated concert series that punctuates the exhibition during its month-long existence.
A unique exhibition tour that places over 20 site-specific works from large-scale audio-visual pieces, in situ installations and musical apparitions throughout the Kraftwerk complex. It operates as a sequenced series of site-specific interventions from leading international sound and visual artists, channeling an audience’s experience through organised time. It involves a walk through unexplored areas of the Kraftwerk with artworks appearing and disappearing in choreographed succession. Borrowing the logic of a ‘ghost-train’ the sequence of artwork-apparitions is set as if according to a musical score. The boundaries between things shift and reassemble. Seeing and hearing happens in a chain reaction, a circulation of kinetic energy. Follow the yellow light and don’t go backwards.
