Open Space

Since the 1990s, Arnold Dreyblatt has worked with the concept of overlapping time frames in scores within various performative installation projects. John Cage’s groundbreaking work Theater Event No. 1 (Black Mountain College, 1952), in which artists performed simultaneous activities of their choice among the audience within predetermined time slots, remains an important reference for Dreyblatt’s artistic practice to this day.

Berlin-Karussell takes up Cage’s processes of circulation and further develops the idea of a non-centered composition; over 40 international artists from various disciplines create simultaneous, non-linear events.

The public project space in Hall 3, conceived by raumlaborberlin, becomes a production site where the boundaries of artistic categories are crossed and expanded. The interdisciplinarity of the overall work and the time-based art forms experienced in the process form the core of the project.

Over 40 international artists from various disciplines create simultaneous, non-linear events in a composition developed by Arnold Dreyblatt, inspired by John Cage.
