Opening: 8.10., 19 h
 
 
The Japanese artist Tadashi Kawamata creates nests of civil disobedience with his tree houses in Berlin that spread from the Haus to the trees in the park, while interrogating the architecture of modernity. His "social sculptures" were exhibited at both Documenta 8 and 9, the Venice Biennale and Shanghai. The Gallery-to-go offers a platform for creatively thinking about the exhibitions. Artists' talks and the conference: “Negotiating Difference - Contemporary Chinese Art in the Global Context” (22 - 24.10.) focus on the working conditions for artists and the relationship between the local and global in Chinese contemporary art.
