Fluss Bad Berlin at Bauakademie Berlin

For Berlin Art Week, the non-profit organisation Flussbad Berlin is hosting the exhibition and auction ›50 Für Bad Berlin‹ in the Red Salon of the Bauakademie. Fluss Bad Berlin is a civil society urban development initiative that is committed to making swimming possible in the Spree Canal and, in the long term, in other sections of the Berlin Spree.

›50 Für Bad Berlin‹ shows works by artists and architects who support the reconquest of the river as a natural resource for the city and its inhabitants, as they are committed to the sustainable development of Berlin for the common good.They therefore oppose the tendency to restrict for ideological reasons the debate on the future of the city (centre) to the historicising reconstruction of the Berlin of the early 20th century and the attempt to appropriate ›art and culture‹ for that purpose. Instead, they emphasise that art and culture are closely linked to development initiatives such as Fluss Bad Berlin, which aim to achieve social, ecological, sustainable, i.e. future-proof urban development.

The works donated by them for this purpose can be purchased at auction during the exhibition.
