Produced as commissioned works, the photographs dramatize the situation of productions in Volkseigene Betriebe and the Internationale Leipziger Messe from 1967 to 1990. From the archive, Double Bound Economies moves toward contemporary artistic and spatial positions, historical and theoretical analyses, and the production of a video project. Artists, theorists, scholars, and former participants were invited to view, comment on, or select from the archive. This collective work method resulted in a polyphonic dramatization of the archive while also reporting on a nonlinear approach to the GDR. Following the presentation in Leipzig, Double Bound Economies will be exhibited at the Centre de la Photographie, Geneva (September–October 2012) and at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich (January–February 2013). <img src="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/rm_04439_05_ss.jpg" width="283" height="283" width_o="283" height_o="283" src_o="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/rm_04439_05_ss_o.jpg" data-mid="17397739" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/rm_00408C_10_ss.jpg" width="284" height="283" width_o="284" height_o="283" src_o="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/rm_00408C_10_ss_o.jpg" data-mid="17397683" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/_MG_5796.jpg" width="567" height="378" width_o="567" height_o="378" src_o="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/_MG_5796_o.jpg" data-mid="17223080" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/Nicolai_p01_Title-s.jpg" width="340" height="238" width_o="340" height_o="238" src_o="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/Nicolai_p01_Title-s_o.jpg" data-mid="17397907" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/Nicolai_p02-03_s.jpg" width="340" height="239" width_o="340" height_o="239" src_o="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/Nicolai_p02-03_s_o.jpg" data-mid="17397908" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/Kiluanji Kia Henda Karl Marx Luanda 2006_1_700.jpg" width="700" height="343" width_o="851" height_o="418" src_o="http://payload52.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3352302/Kiluanji Kia Henda Karl Marx Luanda 2006_1_o.jpg" data-mid="17222739" border="0" align="left"/> Image Credits (from top): © Reinhard Mende: Vertreterempfang in Falstaff Rundgang Minister Mozambique 16.03.1978; © Reinhard Mende: Leuchtenbau Leipzig, Polytechnik MMM Ausstellung 08.05.1974; © Installationview; (2 x) © Olaf Nicolai; Girlfriends, 2012; © Kiluanji Kia Henda: Karl Marx Luanda, 2006. http://www.bureau-n.de/Gallery-Weekend-Berlin-2012 http://www.bureau-n.de/following/bureau-n.de/Gallery-Weekend-Berlin-2012 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:40:42 +0000 Bureau N 3242771 This year's Gallery Weekend Berlin will take place from the 27th to the 29th of April. 51 galleries will open their exhibitions during the weekend, and six new galleries - which include Chert, CIRCUS, Supportico Lopez, Galerie Cinzia Friedlaender, VeneKlasen/Werner and Galerie Niels Borch Jensen - will enrich the spectrum of the annual tour with young positions, new genres, curatorially expanded exhibition concepts and international gallery branches. <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/AMC_Landscape_for_Fire_1972_Performance_view.jpg" width="567" height="417" width_o="567" height_o="417" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/AMC_Landscape_for_Fire_1972_Performance_view_o.jpg" data-mid="16761980" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/Bertalan_4113_web.jpg" width="624" height="458" width_o="624" height_o="458" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/Bertalan_4113_web_o.jpg" data-mid="16762144" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/JHO_1620_TOP_SECRET_green_fade_17361_web.jpg" width="369" height="483" width_o="369" height_o="483" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/JHO_1620_TOP_SECRET_green_fade_17361_web_o.jpg" data-mid="16697707" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/LucyCoggle_MG_0598_web.jpg" width="340" height="468" width_o="340" height_o="468" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/LucyCoggle_MG_0598_web_o.jpg" data-mid="16761743" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/FK1202_web.jpg" width="567" height="850" width_o="567" height_o="850" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/3242771/FK1202_web_o.jpg" data-mid="16762140" border="0" align="left"/> Anthony McCall "Landscape for Fire" 1972, performance view; Stefan Bertalan "Verwirrung" 1983; Jenny Holzer "TOP SECRET" green fade 2011; Lucy Coggle "OOO" 2012; Friedrich Kunath „The Inside Of The Outside Of A Dream“, 2012 http://www.bureau-n.de/ARTandPRESS http://www.bureau-n.de/following/bureau-n.de/ARTandPRESS Mon, 02 Apr 2012 16:25:06 +0000 Bureau N 2821276 Reflections of contemporary art on the newspaper medium Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin 23.03. - 24.06.2012 The newspaper has served as material and subject matter for art since the mid-19th Century. Artists deal with this medium in many ways, whether in its function as an instrument of information or of manipulation. The motivations and meanings behind the use of the medium are always different. ARTandPRESS shows around 55 artistic positions on this issue, from Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Joseph Beuys to Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer to Ai Weiwei, Julian Schnabel, William Kentridge, Richard Prince and Rirkrit Tiravanija. <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/Polke- Original_Faelschung 19_web.jpg" width="425" height="507" width_o="425" height_o="507" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/Polke- Original_Faelschung 19_web_o.jpg" data-mid="15251725" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/Longo_Robert_StudyForOldGlory2_web_700.jpg" width="700" height="366" width_o="765" height_o="401" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/Longo_Robert_StudyForOldGlory2_web_o.jpg" data-mid="15963450" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/Schnabel_Crazy People_website.jpg" width="283" height="378" width_o="283" height_o="378" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/Schnabel_Crazy People_website_o.jpg" data-mid="15654825" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/2_Warhol_Andy_FiveDeaths_website.jpg" width="425" height="418" width_o="425" height_o="418" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/2_Warhol_Andy_FiveDeaths_website_o.jpg" data-mid="15654875" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/Dumas- Figure in a Landscape- 2010- Zwirner_700.jpg" width="700" height="422" width_o="850" height_o="513" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821276/Dumas- Figure in a Landscape- 2010- Zwirner_o.jpg" data-mid="15654760" border="0" align="left"/> Credits from top: Sigmar Polke: Original + Fälschung 19 (der Kapitän und das brennende Schiff), 1973.

Influenced by Theodor Adorno’s philosophy, Isa Genzken in her recent show refers to Berlin’s landscape and its often-associated aesthetic and architectural mediocrity, and its contrast to New York's fascinating skyline. The artist Genzken shares a special and work-related relationship with the Big Apple's cityscape. This is the reason why one of the main works in "Hallelujah" resembles the construction of the "New Museum" building, which places cargo transportation boxes on top of each other. Flowers, grass and peacock feathers add to the intended monumental and sculptural happening of the artist. <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821673/IG2012_05_web.jpg" width="425" height="773" width_o="425" height_o="773" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821673/IG2012_05_web_o.jpg" data-mid="14407559" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821673/IG_264_s.jpg" width="355" height="472" width_o="355" height_o="472" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821673/IG_264_s_o.jpg" data-mid="15366106" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821673/IG_284_s.jpg" width="295" height="393" width_o="295" height_o="393" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821673/IG_284_s_o.jpg" data-mid="15366108" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821673/IGenzken_Halleluja_Inst_72.jpg" width="397" height="298" width_o="397" height_o="298" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2821673/IGenzken_Halleluja_Inst_72_o.jpg" data-mid="15365738" border="0" align="left"/> Isa Genzken, “Hallelujah”, 2012, Installation views, Schinkel Pavillon, Courtesy of Galerie Buchholz Berlin http://www.bureau-n.de/MONOQI http://www.bureau-n.de/following/bureau-n.de/MONOQI Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:01:15 +0000 Bureau N 2821408 Great Design.

The ingredients-based cuisine will be prepared to the highest standards by starred chef Siegfried Danler. It's about all things braised, sautéed, salted or marinated. Sausages will be made, vegetables pickled, breads baked in wood-fired ovens, pastries prepared onsite. In addition to stews served in cast iron pots, suckling pig from the rotisserie and traditional offal dishes will be on the menu. The former gymnasium of the school was remodeled and furnished according to the owners' designs.

The scheme for Am Lokdepot reflects an unconventional, experimental approach to alternative and future-oriented living structures, implemented on behalf of the UTB property development company, LLC. The project will repurpose a defunct Berlin railroad area occupying some 28,000 sqm , while maintaining its industrial flair. Am Lokdepot (at the locomotive rail yard) is an urban planning endeavor for the development of inner city space that has recently become available, which will transform the disused railway ground at Gleisdreieck into a public living space. <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2659903/Lokdepot_Ansicht.jpg" width="309" height="435" width_o="309" height_o="435" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2659903/Lokdepot_Ansicht_o.jpg" data-mid="13477062" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2659903/Lokdepot_Ansicht_1.jpg" width="311" height="438" width_o="311" height_o="438" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2659903/Lokdepot_Ansicht_1_o.jpg" data-mid="13477053" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2659903/Lokdepot_Isometrie.jpg" width="472" height="664" width_o="472" height_o="664" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2659903/Lokdepot_Isometrie_o.jpg" data-mid="13477055" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.bureau-n.de/Julius-von-Bismarck-Punishment-I http://www.bureau-n.de/following/bureau-n.de/Julius-von-Bismarck-Punishment-I Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:55:24 +0000 Bureau N 2680099 alexanderlevy 28.01. - 24.03.2012 With Punishment I gallery alexanderlevy shows new works by the artist Julius von Bismarck. The title of the exhibition points to a pre-Christian legend that says that the Achaemenid King and Egyptian Pharaoh Xerxes had the strait at Hellespont punished with 300 lashes, after bridges that had been built on his order were destroyed by a storm shortly after construction. At impressive locations in Switzerland, South America and the United States Julius von Bismarck plays with the rhetorical power of this traditional retaliation, whipping nature, defying its power, until he is exhausted. <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/punishment-2-jvb.jpg" width="638" height="425" width_o="638" height_o="425" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/punishment-2-jvb_o.jpg" data-mid="13586186" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/punishment-3-jvb_700.jpg" width="700" height="374" width_o="794" height_o="425" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/punishment-3-jvb_o.jpg" data-mid="13586373" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/still-punishment-10-jvb_700.jpg" width="700" height="393" width_o="756" height_o="425" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/still-punishment-10-jvb_o.jpg" data-mid="13586191" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/punishment-11-jvb.jpg" width="638" height="425" width_o="638" height_o="425" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/punishment-11-jvb_o.jpg" data-mid="13586423" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/punishment-7-jvb_2_700.jpg" width="700" height="374" width_o="794" height_o="425" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/104814/2680099/punishment-7-jvb_2_o.jpg" data-mid="13586407" border="0" align="left"/>
