Berlin – famously “poor, but sexy” – is attracting increasing numbers of artists from around the world, but offers too few major venues to meet exhibition demand. The new series Labor Berlin is dedicated to the enormous creative potential of this growing community and the trends it is generating.

Dan Mihaltianu, a 1990s Berlin transplant from Bucharest, will set the series in motion. His “Plaques tournantes” revolve around the drifting, colliding continental plates, center and periphery, gravitational pull and flight. “Turntables” composed of video, audio, vinyl records and a variety of electronic devices make up a room installation which pivots on the classic of electronic entertainment: the 45 rpm single.
