The PalaisPopulaire invites you to a weekend full of art, encounters, and creative experiences!

In the coming weeks, more program information will follow here.

Free admission.

When it comes to funding, cultural institutions have long been unable to rely on public money alone. Partnerships with businesses and private patrons are becoming ever more important. What new approaches and creative solutions are out there? How can civic engagement be strengthened? And how can cultural institutions become more resilient at a time when funding is uncertain?

Joining the discussion are Christine Würfel-Stauss, member of the Leadership Council of the Hamburger Bahnhof International Patrons; and Andreas Beitin, director of the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, and Britta Färber, Head of Art and Culture at Deutsche Bank. Moderation: Elke Buhr, editor-in-chief of Monopol, the magazine for art and life.

For decades, Berlin has been a dream destination for artists from all over the world. But its identity as an international art capital is coming under pressure: public funding is being cut, the art market is proving fragile, and private institutions are closing. So what remains of the Berlin myth? What still makes the city an attractive place for art today, where do its particular strengths lie—and where might fresh momentum come from? What does Berlin’s art scene need in order to preserve its diversity and international appeal? And what do artists expect from the city and its cultural policy?

Discussing these questions are Till Fellrath, director of the Hamburger Bahnhof; artist Antje Majewski; and Moritz van Dülmen, managing director of Kulturprojekte Berlin, a company owned by the State of Berlin. Moderation: Elke Buhr, editor-in-chief of Monopol, the magazine for art and life.

This workshop celebrates Moving Clouds with moving words: a stimulating afternoon in the studio, surrounded by Lucia Tallová's works. At its core are specially developed creative impulses that flow effortlessly into one another, change their form, and open up space for personal memories, shared exchange, and anything spontaneous that wishes to emerge. The experiments are inspired by the artist's own fascinating cloud cosmos: her mindset, her methods, and materials. All interested individuals, with or without prior experience, are warmly welcome to let their creativity flow. 

Sandra Miriam Schneider is a writing coach, lecturer for literary, creative, and autobiographical writing, and author of the book Mindful Writing. Head of Literaturschneiderei.

In the chamber music series "Werkstatt.Dialog.Musik" at the PalaisPopulaire, members of the Berlin Philharmonic introduce themselves and their instruments and talk in a relaxed atmosphere about the featured works, their interpretations, and their approach. Questions and a dialogue with the audience are expressly welcome!

In 1962, John Cage visited the world-renowned Zen Buddhist temple garden Ryoan-ji in Kyoto. Laid out in the 15th century, 15 natural stones of different shapes are arranged in five groups on a rectangular area of evenly raked, wave-like sand. The sand recreates the movement of water, while the reciprocal relationship of the stones unfolds in harmonious asymmetry to the viewer's eye, depending on the perspective.

The garden inspired Cage to create a series of compositions that can be variably assembled depending on the instrumentation. Cage processed the visit not only compositionally but also graphically. In the concert, the work will be performed with a lineup of flute (Egor Egorkin), double bass (Martin Heinze), percussion (Jan Schlichte), and tape. With its poetic and meditative character, the concert corresponds with the exhibition of Lucia Tallová, who, in her work, explores the fragility of memory in an accelerated, digital present.

Price: € 22 incl. French breakfast
Free choice of seats on site. Doors open at 11 am.
