City Vista Kino Club - stay hungry

About City Vista Kino Club
The intervention series City Vista Kino Club will take place on three dates at three different locations in the public space of Berlin during this summer and will always start after sunset. On each individual intervention a video art work by one of the invited positions will be presented and integrated into the cityscape at a selected location, using the urban and architectural structure as a screen.

This series thematically deals with creating a connection between the realities and ambience of the respective location in the urban space and the chosen video works of the invited artists shown therein. The particular locations where the video works are shown, open a closer look to the content as well as formal orientation of the works and try to generate potential new perspectives for the visitors on both the location and the cinematic works on display.
Each intervention is divided in two parts: At first there is the screening of the video work by the artist. It is followed by a second filmic contribution, that is a choice of the artist and is referring to the video work seen before. Here, cinematic references, inspirations, counterpoints, additions, comments, etc. to the previously shown own video work can be made and pointed out, thus creating an interesting link between the own artistic works and personal preferences and inspirations, and possibly inviting a subsequent discussion.

As an accompanying element to each individual intervention, that can be enjoyed by the visitors while watching the video works, stay hungry and Andrea Nicolò will serve:

City Vista Kino Club wants to address the issue of the extinction of classic cinema that is advancing with digitalization and the various global crises, and it seems that the tipping point in the commercial distribution and consumption of films and videos has already passed. The collective and concentrated experience of a visit to the cinema is increasingly giving way to the fast-paced and unfocused browsing in the infinite possibilities of the Internet, thus permanently changing the perception and consumption behaviour of films and videos. City Vista Kino Club starts exactly at this interface and takes the possibilities of both worlds as an opportunity to create a social meeting place through these filmic interventions in public spaces in the spirit of classical cinema, where people can watch films and video works together and discuss them. At the same time the project aims to take up new tendencies of digitalization and technification in the form of contemporary video art works in order to put these two poles in relation to each other and to question them.

About Don't Rush: Three young men, two brothers and their cousin, meet on a dense summer night to feel the "high" of a dozen "Hasiklidika" songs, Rebetiko songs from the beginning of the 20th century which celebrate the effects of Hashish. But beyond the pleasures of drugs, it is here question of love, joy and sadness, search for freedom and political commitment... Little by little yesterday's counter-culture, made out of poverty and violence, and built on the pains of exile, reverberates the one of today. (https://michiganfilms.be/film/dont-rush/)

stay hungry presents the new intervention series Zur Verkieselung des Stadtraumes which will take place in three parts in Berlin's public space in 2023 and 2024, starting with the first intervention on the historical perspective of urban modifications with site-specific works and contributions by Dennis Fuchs, Georg Scherlin, Stefanie Rübensaal and Anna Firmberger on 02.09.23 from 2-8 pm at the upper pool of the waterfall in Viktoriapark/Kreuzberg.

About
Zur Verkieselung des Stadtraumes examines on the basis of three selected sites in Berlin, each symbolizing a temporal perspective of change - the past, the present and the future - those significant but also silent modifications of urban architecture by city planning measures and their influence on the people who inhabit them. For this purpose places are selected that offer potential for reflection on the achievements and failures of transformation processes through their specific histories of origin. The linking and merging of local historical, cultural and urban political parameters from different temporal perspectives found in such processes play a central role for the project and form the basis of the artistic contributions and investigations.
The transformation of urban landscape and architecture is an essential part of the formation and formulation of urban space and the basis for the continuation of cultural as well as social development of an urban society, which in its process of emergence and the nature of its intentions, however, also holds potential for conflict.

The title of the intervention series plays with the concept of silicification, which can be found in connection with geological-chemical processes, as well as in the construction sector, in which, to generally speak, stone changes in its structure through external influence or is even formed in the first place. A connection can be made here to social processes within the constant change of urban environment with all their layerings, overlappings and concentrations, which take place in cities. A silicification in urban space also causes a compression of the common living space and accompanying positive as well as negative changes.

Zur Verkieselung des Stadtraumes
1- Die Vergangenheit

The first part of the series is dedicated to the artificial park and waterfall in Viktoriapark on the slopes of the Kreuzberg and its history and changes over time.
The Kreuzberg, back then called Tempelhofer Berg, was an idyllic place where wine was grown on its slopes before the Nationaldenkmal für die Befreiungskriege, designed by Schinkel, was opened in 1821 on what was then the highest mountain on the outskirts of Berlin. The construction of the tower-shaped national monument, however, was to fundamentally change the place and shortly thereafter the so-called Tivoli was built, an amusement place in the green, which attracted more and more Berliners to the countryside. Thus, over the next decades, a settlement of houses was built until finally, in 1888, work began on transforming the sandy hill,which then already was called Kreuzberg, named after the iron cross by Schinkel on top of the monument, into a romantic-looking park with a mountain-like character, the so-called Viktoriapark.

At that time, the city of Berlin had already grown up to the Kreuzberg and so it was decided that the national monument, which was threatening to disappear in the thicket of trees and surrounding houses, should be hydraulically lifted with elaborate technology onto a new 8-meter-high plateau, where it still stands today. The park, with its wild and romantic gorges, river passages, authentic mountain flora and waterfalls, was enthusiastically received by Berliners, and further amusement and recreational facilities were built in the park, such as the Victoria Terrassen tavern and a dairy spa with milk fountains. During the Nazi dictatorship, parts of the underground vaults of the Schultheiss Brewery, located directly on Kreuzberg, were used as secret production facilities for the armament industry, where forced laborers from Eastern Europe had to work under inhumane conditions. The national monument and the park were severely damaged during World War II and rebuilt after the war in a modified form. The currently visible forestation took place in the 1950s. In 1980, Viktoriapark was the first park in West Berlin to be listed as a historical monument. To this day, the Viktoriapark is freely accessible and is available to a heterogeneous group of users as a performable, urban activity and encounter area.

What was intended over 200 years ago with the constructions on the Kreuzberg and the buildings around it, namely the development of the area and subsequent connection to the urban periphery of Berlin,which was accompanied by major interventions in a formerly natural environment, has today turned into the exact opposite: the Viktoriapark, with its extensive and winding parkland and the still attractive character of the waterfall area, serves as one of Berlin's numerous green lungs and largely unsealed areas, providing a refuge of tranquility and proximity to nature in an increasingly crowded built environment.

In the three artistic contributions by Dennis Fuchs, Georg Scherlin, Stefanie Rübensaal & Anna Firmberger, aspects of the historical changes and contexts, as well as current strategies of use of the Viktoriapark are examined more closely. For this purpose, the artists have developed site-specific works in which questions are asked about the place and its history: What changes does a place need and tolerate? What were and are the strategies of use ? Which new paths can be taken in the culture of remembrance and monumentation? Preserve or destroy? Urbanity vs. or with nature?
The focus is on activating the site through the site-specific works of the invited artists in order to enable visitors and chance passers-by to gain new perspectives and experiences of a place that is perhaps perceived as familiar.

Zur Verkieselung des Stadtraumes 1 will take place on 02.09.2023 from 2-8 pm at the upper pool of the waterfall in Viktoriapark, Berlin-Kreuzberg.
4 pm: performative introduction and activation of the work by and with Georg Scherlin.
6 pm: Performance by Firmberger & Rübensaal

stay hungry will serve the three-part intervention series Gemischte Platte in the public space of Worpswede between 08. and 21.08.2023 on the occasion of the 3. Worpsweder Kunstfestival Über:windungen. Here, a mobile platform brought to Worpswede from Berlin will become the starting point and station for diverse artistic, culinary and social investigations that bring together both locally created and already existing works and actions.
On three dates, stay hungry invites visitors to go on a journey with Michel Aniol and Meike Kuhnert and to discover, taste and experience their stories and experiences from on the road.
Gemischte Platte does not stand for a random assortment, but for the conscious coexistence and cooperation of different life concepts and philosophies and the emerging new impulses, ideas and paths.

About ~Mobile Menu #14 - Eat The Artist~:
stay hungry presents Mobile Menu #14 - Eat the Artist, a culinary intervention series with contributions by the artists Çağdaş Çeçen, Laura Fiorio, Bhima Griem, Tomoko Mori, Johannes Rodenacker, Marco Schmitt and Xiaoyu Tang at Kunstpunkt Berlin on the occasion of the exhibition ICH ICH ICH.

The genius as a talented individual figure is opposed to the idea of swarm intelligence, and to this day minds are divided on the question of whether the individual can be replaced by collective practices. At the center of the conceptual idea of Mobile Menu #14 - Eat The Artist is the questioning of the (self-) perception and self-staging of artists in a world that is becoming increasingly competitive in all areas. The concept of the artist as genius, as a single, talented individual can be critically questioned. Based on these thoughts, stay hungry developed Mobile Menu #14 - Eat the Artist to explore this debate in a culinary and artistic way through a multi-part intervention series at Kunstpunkt Berlin, which will take place twice a week on Fridays and Sundays from 14.-30.04.2023.

On each date one of the six invited artists is asked to create a culinary self-portrait for one evening, which emergence can be observed and in part actively shaped by the visitors and which will then be offered for communal consumption.
The artists are called upon to artistically and culinary comment on these topics through their interventions and to open up possible new perspectives.

Please watch out for our upcoming newsletters and Instagram content for detailed information about each culinary intervention!

No RSVP needed!Free food!Donations appreciated!

Come by to eat and meet the artists! 🙂
