The Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) is a guest at the Uferhallen and Uferstudios with the INDUSTRY project. This focuses on the entire complex of the former main workshops of the Berlin transport company and builds a bridge between the history of the Gesundbrunnen district in the 20th century, which is characterized by industrialization, among other things, and the current climate of discourse between deindustrialization and the culture industry. An expansive kinetic artwork by artist Oscar Peters refers to the former “Boulevard Badstraße” and a roller coaster built at Badstraße 8 in 1924. At the same time, it becomes a platform for diverse artistic interventions by locally based and internationally networked artists. INDUSTRY thus takes a humorous look at the possible futures of cultural and art venues and also enables an examination of the historical roots of the neighborhood.
The n.b.k. has been an active supporter of the Uferhallen location for over 13 years and, together with Uferhallen e. V., has worked to preserve the area as one of the most important artistic production locations in Berlin. The Uferstudios for contemporary dance are a listed site that currently brings together a total of six partners from Berlin’s independent dance scene and presents a wide range of artistic processes and aesthetics of contemporary dance to the public.
