A constellation of works and experiences from artists that have been collaborating with Raum E116 in the last year.
Carousel
The revolving deck with its obliging animals skims the surface of the ground.
It is at the height best suited to dreams of flying.
Walter Benjamin, “The Carousel” From Berlin Childhood Around 1900
A Carousel is a reflection of the city, appeal to us through glowing dancing lights and its repetitive cadence, symbolizes an evocative melancholy, as do modern media and contemporary art, which evolve and dialog with the city, as one of those twinkling stars in the night. The show Carousel brings a selection of works that revolve around the absurd, bright and starving city that is the Metropoli, as well as about ugly feelings or uneasy emotions that invade us in such a constant turning, from anxiety to cuteness, in the cracks where private and common spheres breathe together.
...In the silence of the night, the music of the carousel could still be heard in the distance.
48 Stunden Neukölln
As a forum for artistic projects from all sectors of the Berlin art scene, the 48 Stunden Neukölln Festival, presents and promotes art that contributes to the discussion of current social issues and reflects on them. Since its founding in 1999, 48 Stunden Neukölln has established itself as Berlin´s largest independent art festival with its exemplary character. The artistic works created here act as impulses far beyond Berlin-Neukölln, take a stand on issues affecting society as a whole, and promote a sustained exchange with the international art scene.
Hybrid Art Fair is a dynamic event offering an atypical exhibition programme based on experimental practices and site-specific projects. The fair offers a range of local and international independent proposals and is a recognised springboard for emerging artists.
Spring explosion
Vallejo's refreshing and colorful proposal, navigating between abstraction and figuration, surrounds us in a dance where gesture and stain dialogue, filling and surpassing the canvas.

The infinite line
Nieto explores, in a geometric tour de force, and using only the line, from arcane numbers and hidden meanings, to mathematical expressions and constellations of stars.
The wave frozen in time
Marrero takes us to dreamlike worlds through experimentation with photographic emulsion and printing techniques such as cyanotype, finding with an accurate look immanent moments in small details of everyday life.
Digital intimacies
