Everything Is Just for a While – 70 years of Berliner Festspiele revisited

Previously little-known video footage from our own, public and private collections are boldly edited together in “Everything Is Just for a While” to mark the Berliner Festspiele’s 70th birthday and offer a new perspective on artistic positions from around the world that continue to amaze us today. The exhibition will be on view in the Gropius Bau from 28 May to 17 October 2021.

The Sun Machine Is Coming Down

To mark their 70th anniversary, the Berliner Festspiele will take over the International Congress Centre Berlin (ICC) and open up the long-disused building for Live art, installations and films. Many younger people and a significant number of Berliners have never seen this architectural icon designed by Ursulina Schüler-Witte and Ralf Schüler from the inside. In a time dominated by coronavirus the project that takes its title from a line in David Bowie’s song “Memory Of A Free Festival” (1969) will offer light, space and transformation.
