The program of the KUB Arena will be divided into various categories: Architecture Series Once or twice a year, young established architectural firms will be invited to develop architectural presentation forms to serve as the setting for discursive events in cooperation with the KUB Arena. Above all, the themes addressed should be relevant to both the visual arts and architecture (e.g. issues relating to space, the public realm, urbanism). Interdisciplinary Forum In the KUB Arena the focus will be expanded to include the exploration of the interdisciplinary fields of cultural studies, feminist theory, philosophy, and aesthetic and political practice. In this context, the lectures, symposia, and film screenings will be augmented to include interdisciplinary educational formats held in the KUB Arena at regular intervals with the support and cooperation of experts from various fields, perhaps through the incorporation of music, dance, theater, and performance. Networking Models The KUB Arena should be seen as a place that encourages networking in the form of longer-term collaboration between local and international partners. Jointly conceived projects will be realized with other institutions, such as archives, trade journals, artist groups, collectives, art universities, art magazines, cinemas, and other public institutions. The Internet The new concept of the KUB Arena involves establishing a real place where the virtual space of the Internet can be activated and incorporated. It is conceived as a dynamic platform of exchange and interaction with its users. At the same time it will also be a space that reflects artistic web projects initiated by the KUB Arena and takes a critical look at digital media and their usability (Facebook, YouTube, Flickr). Documentation of all events held in the KUB Arena will be available for download as podcasts from our website. In this way we hope to further increase our audience significantly. Writings on Theory The themes addressed in the above-described events will also be available in written form. Curator Starting on February 1, 2010, Mag. Eva Birkenstock will be the new curator of the KUB Arena. Start July 2010 The new KUB Arena will launch its first installation with the architectural and urban design collective raumlaborberlin. This event will run parallel to the Cosima von Bonin exhibition. raumlaborberlin was founded in 1999 as an interdisciplinary community of architects and artists that forms project-related work groups to pursue joint goals and address common issues in architecture. |
