The ECHOHAUS exhibition, which is being realised with the kind support of Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Berlin-Mitte mbH (WBM), takes the 30th anniversary of Haus Schwarzenberg as an opportunity to bring together artistic works on sound or acoustic memory, sound traces and archive materials that are connected with the history of the building, its surroundings and Berlin's subculture since the 1990s.

ECHOHAUS, Key visual
The works take up the idea of the echo – as a trace, repetition or fragment from another time. In addition to current and historical works, archival materials and personal objects are on display that establish connections between the past and the present. They are presented, for example, in installations, metal sculptures and photography.
The exhibition is complemented by passages from Norman Ohler's novel MITTE, which are integrated into the exhibition space as a literary echo.
A comprehensive accompanying programme takes the trail to the stage at the Eschschloraque Rümschrümp artists' club:
Live tributes, concerts and a select line-up reflect those sonic traces in the ECHOHAUS and bring them to life on stage. There will also be a reading by Norman Ohler from the novel ‘MITTE’ as well as a discussion with Beate Kunath and a screening of her film ‘Abschied und Ankunft. Die Arbeitsbibliothek von Stefan und Inge Heym’ (Farewell and Arrival. The Working Library of Stefan and Inge Heym) (dates for reading & film screening to be announced).
