The first Long Evening begins with a book presentation of Ein ganz normaler Tag with publisher Josephine Apraku, author Eric Otieno Sumba and illustrator Sharonda Quainoo in the bookshop Walther König. Luiza Prado De O. Martins invites you to a cooking show at the Beba restaurant. The cinema will be open all evening to show the film Karl’s Perfect Day by Rirkrit Tiravanija. On the demo station, DJ and producer Ayzon play a set. The evening ends with a performance by musician Petra Hermanova with drummer Jon Eirik Boska will take place in the atrium.
As part of the public programme accompanying the exhibition DASGLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG by Rirkrit Tiravanija, the Gropius Bau invites you to a monthly series of Long Evenings. Film screenings, readings, food activations as well as performances and DJ sets take place on and around Tiravanija’s sculptural stage demo station. The events enliven the building in its various facets and activate Tiravanija’s artistic work, which always creates spaces for people to come together.
