A Dress for the “kunstauto”
venue: Altes Museum Neukölln
Fri 19:00 — 22:00
Sat 14:00 — 22:00
Sun 14:00 — 19:00
To mark the anniversary of the establishment of Rixdorf, the “kunstauto“ would like to bring a German birthday tradition into the celebrations.
For the occasion, the car will be covered in a special party dress made from old vinyl tablecloths with textural flowers. In the process, the car's shape is abstracted and perceived in a different way. The sweetness of the flower patterns provides a stark contrast to this abstraction. Individual flowers will be cut out where the windows are; at night the car's interior will be illuminated, and the space where art is presented therein visible. A small, precious porcelain setting for a birthday serving of coffee, made in 1920 can be viewed therein. The coffee service was made in the year that the district was incorporated into the city of Berlin.

DIE RIXE
venue: Passage
Fri 19:00 — Sun 19:00
A worm meanders through the “Passage Neukölln“.May I introduce “RIXE“: she is 650 years old and just as long.
She won't forget the 650-year anniversary of Rixdorf's first mention in records because it is also her birthday. She knows every single corner of this area and lived to see a lot over the last 650 years. Will she share her experiences?
Rixe is also very interested in culture and this motivated her to lay some eggs in the Passage. Who'll find them?

Not too long ago, a spectacular discovery was made in Rixdorf, arousing the attentions of both scientists and politicians.
A now-forgotten civilisation appears to have lived here around 6 centuries ago in a microcosm, a small clan of around 80 individuals who maintained their distance from outside influences.
Time has stood still there for 650 years.
Anthropologists, ethnographers and numerous other experts from the most diverse disciplines, as well as politicians are now in search of a way to integrate this group into present day Neukölln.
There are a number of ideas of how to best solve this dilemma...

Remembering...
venue: Altes Museum Neukölln
Fri 19:00 — Sun 19:00
A sound installation drawing attention to 48 forgotten or overlooked sites in Neukölln; some are real locations, some reflect personal memories, or oral histories. Guided by the artist Franz John, pupils at the Evangelischen Schule Neukölln have collected these stories and made them audible. Functioning as a web of rumours, an ever-changing "sound tapestry" of oral history about the area evolves...

urban memories
venue: Altes Museum Neukölln
Fri 19:00 — Sun 19:00
To mark this year's 650th anniversary of the founding of Neukölln, this exhibition focusses on the notion of urban memory. Six artists, all from different countries, have come up with participatory and performative projects involving local children, young adults and others who will directly interact with visitors to the show. The title highlights the fact that the area's history consists of numerous histories, from different perspectives, reflecting those of Neukölln's multicultural population.
Featuring: Jean-Ulrick Désert (HAI), Prinz Gholam (D, LBN), Rosa Mesa (E), Judith Siegmund (D), Sençer Vardarman (TRK) and Simone Zaugg (CH).
