50 Für Bad Berlin

›50 Für Bad Berlin‹ will present works by mostly Berlin-based artists and architects who show solidarity with the objectives of the Fluss Bad Berlin project and the team behind it. The artists and architects involved in the exhibition include Rosa Barba, Elmgreen Dragset, Simon Fujiwara, Thomas Demand, Katharina Grosse, Raumlabor, Shirin Sabahi, Michael Sailstorfer, Karin Sander, Sauerbruch Hutton, Wolfgang Tillmans and Haegue Yang, among many others.

While the works on display cover a wide range of types and techniques, they all relate to themes the Fluss Bad project addresses: for instance, in their interpretation of the essential significance of water for our world and for life, and the diverse relationships between humans and the element. They analyse the sensory, political and technical significance of water as a cultural asset, and the meaning of a free and equal access to it. They remind us that the river belongs to the city, that everyday culture belongs to high culture, and that the city is shaped by social values, which –at the same time– it is capable to mediate.
