Between Repression and Awakening – German Literature of the Postwar Period
With Strauss, Ligeti, and Schönberg, the Berliner Philharmoniker will present the contradictory nature of generations of composers working at the same time. Similarly, Uslar & Rai will introduce you to a few works of German postwar literature that clearly show the disruption of society after World War II: between still convinced Nazism and repression, between the attempt to find a new language after the Holocaust and the dawn of the German economic miracle. Actress Barbara Frey will read.
Event as part of the Biennale of the Berliner Philharmoniker
In cooperation with the bookstore Uslar & Rai

Workshop.Dialogue.Music – Art and Music of the 1950s and 60s
Scarcely another epoch was so artistically characterized by awakening, wild confrontation, and rigorous intensity as the 1950s and 60s of the last century. After World War II, artists in music, painting, literature, and architecture sought new techniques and a radical artistic reorientation. Join us in our upcoming concert on February 15 in the Workshop. Dialogue. Music series. Join trombonist and Berliner Philharmoniker composer Thomas Leyendecker on a journey into this fascinating period and discover compositions by John Cage, Luciano Berio, Leonard Bernstein, and others.

Curator’s Tour – Isaac Julien: PLAYTIME
Philipp Bollmann, curator of the Wemhöner Collection, will give a tour of the exhibition "Isaac Julien: PLAYTIME" that he curated. The show focuses on Playtime, a film that Isaac Julien presented for the first time six years after the profound global financial and banking crisis in 2008. Celebrated for his compelling lyrical films and his video art installations, Isaac Julien is one of the leading artists working in film and video today.
In Playtime Julien addresses a fundamental question: can capital be rendered visible? The prelude of the exhibition forms a series of large scale photographs that were made in close relation to the film itself. During the guided tour, participants will have the opportunity to talk directly with the curator and ask questions about the work.
