Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin

For a period of two years, 2008 – 2010, the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin has presented contemporary international art at a historically charged location. In a tensional relationship to the Museum Island and all previous and future uses of the Schlossplatz, it represents contemporariness in the center of Berlin. The architecture by Adolf Krischanitz is grasped as a “projection screen” from the inside and outside, on which artistic designs are shown to a broad public.

I worked for the project from the beginning. It was a hard fight – espacilly for Constanze Kleiner and Coco Kühn – and finally we won. I made the website for the political initiative, a lot of promotional content like the first art hall in Second Life with the exact architecture of the upcoming hall and much more. Here you see pictures from the initial website with the blue pixelsky fassade from Gerwald Rockenschaub and the first inside exibition from Candice Breitz. A lot of javascript functionality, dragging of the content pane, switching toi full screen views and so on. Graphic design was made by www.glow-berlin.de and www.veryvery.de.

After a period of two years Temporäe Kunsthalle Berlin has been closed as planned on August 31, 2010.
