The TROPEZ in Wedding’s Humboldthain Summer Pool is an outdoor kiosk and platform for young international culture. This year’s AMOUR summer exhibition comprises works of art related to the swimming pool that examine the effect of the park, are interested in communication between bathers, and view the body as a sought-after and desirable object.

In and around the TROPEZ, visitors to the bath will encounter sculptures, photographs, films, virtual reality installations and digital works of art at the boundaries of ecology, technology, linguistics, statistics, poetry and politics. The AMOUR performances present artists whose practice distinguishes unusual venues and audience involvement. Whether puppet theatre, sound performance or dance, all events consider different facets of community, their merits and limitations. The children’s programme 1,2,3 SOLEIL is aimed specifically at young bathers.
AMOUR is curated by Nele Heinevetter and includes artistic contributions by Gili Avissar, Kira Bunse, Natalie Czech, Constant Dullaart, Julie Favreau, Bertrand Flanet, Richard Frater, Das Helmi, Luzie Meyer, Hayal Pozanti, Dylan Spencer-Davidson, Michael Sports, Elisabeth Wood & TAWG, Young Boy Dancing Group as well as readings, sound performances, live sets and screenings compiled by Broken Dimanche Press, Clara Meister, Clare Molly, Creamcake and Starship for AMOUR.
Since 2017, the space initiated by Nele Heinevetter has been inviting outstanding Berlin and international artists, musicians, authors and curators to explore this special place. During the summer weeks, the aim is to bring contemporary culture out of the context of classical presentation contexts such as museums, theatres and concert halls and to provide a heterogeneous audience with uncomplicated access to various art forms.
The artworks are presented in and around the kiosk. The cultural events take place on the terraces and in the outdoor pool area during the bathing season and during the summer holidays workshops led by artists actively involve the young bath visitors.
