GALLERY // Futureless – Queer-feminist Group Exhibition

With imagination and fiction as tools, the Futureless group exhibition presents the myriad possibilities of queer/feminist futures within our increasingly digitized and ecologically precarious planet.

A generation of artists is emerging who view the dreams of economic progress and unlimited growth at their end. Simultaneously, we are witnessing the extent of humanity’s damage to the globe becoming exposed. The loss of a future once thought by some as great and bright leaves us in a futureless state. Such a state may feel at once empty and ominous, yet also appear as a promising site for speculative fiction and fantasy. From an insightful standpoint, queer/feminist voices articulately shine through this futureless void, offering visions of how society can be continuously shaped and reshaped differently. What does it mean for queer/feminist thought and art that the future is missing? How can we dream of and interpret the present as seen from the future?

The artists participating in the Futureless group exhibition speculate on these questions and more, recognizing an important history of queer/feminist futurism. Drawing from this historical sensitivity, Futureless understands queer/feminist lives as existing within an ecosystem; in a constant exchange with the rest of nature and society that renders them as interdependent. In this way, various worlds, or perhaps universes, emerge from the artworks, performances, workshops, and lectures that are presented during Futureless, worlds that detail imaginative proposals for queer/feminist futures, with fiction and reality appearing in unentanglable forms. Standing before a backdrop formed by the ever-shifting relations between human beings and the globe, Futureless looks forward, viewing the emerging political and ideological void as an opportunity to envision queer/feminist dreams of future life.

SOCIAL // Klunkerkranich Rooftop Beer Garden

THE KLUNKERKRANICH CULTURAL ROOF GARDEN above Neukölln Arcaden

The Klunkerkranich is a cultural roof garden that, in addition to spacious and green outdoor areas and the most panoramic view of Berlin indoor, now offers concerts, a DJ program, readings, cinema, culinary delights and more over two floors.

The greenery sprouts in the garden, flocks of birds hover over the roof in a formation flight and inside there is a first-class cultural program. The Klunkerkranich, located in the pulsating heart of North Neukölln, is an integral part of the neighborhood. Since 2013, the Klunkerkranich has been attracting old Kiez rocks, new Berliners and visitors from all over the world to the top parking level of the Neukölln Arkaden. In addition to the spacious and green outdoor areas, cozy huts with a diverse cultural program attract visitors: from readings to poetry slams, from concerts to DJ sets, from cinema to markets. With the opening of the second hut “Behind the Alps” in October 2017, the Klunkerkranich creates space for new formats and rentals and is increasingly developing into a cultural village on the roof. Sequel follows!

GALLERY // Nothing To See Hear – Adrian Williams @ Retramp

Incorporating collage, woodwork, handmade stamps and line drawing, Williams’ mixed media pieces evoke a sense of imaginative familiarity and comfort within an often isolating, puzzling existence.

William’s is a graduate of the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Canada) and was one of the original members of the Royal Art Lodge.

His work is generally drawing-based, often incorporating elements of collage, print, varnish and other miscellaneous material. His work tends toward narrative imagery and subject matter: the philosophical, the despondent, the amusing… etc.
