As part of STATES OF UNCERTAIN DOMESTICITIES, the exhibition spaces in Haus Kunst Mitte will be designed through performative and installative interventions in such a way that they recall their original function as living spaces. Built in 1870, the Berlin apartment block is the ideal place to stage themes such as living and the home in a variety of artistic ways. Transforming old industrial complexes into white cubes and opening them up to the world of culture has been common practice in the art world for decades. But what about an apartment block at a time and in an urban context where there is a housing shortage? Haus Kunst Mitte offers a space to reflect on this question through artistic contributions. Works have been selected from international artists who approach the topic in a multi-layered way using painting, film, video, audio, photography, installations, performances and sculptures. Further venues for the show, which is planned as a travelling exhibition, are the House of Art in Brno in April 2025 and the Museo Bilotti in Rome in 2026. The extensive accompanying programme includes performative interventions in the rooms that change the exhibition over time - similar to the processes in real living spaces. Performances and actions in the neighbourhood extend the radius of the exhibition. A film programme deepens the theme of house and living.
