 Celebration (Berlin), a public ceremony orchestrated by Einhoff, was dedicated to Berlin’s marginalized clubs and community groups. Einhoff invited various organizations including a garden community, dog association, BMX club, artists collective, and a group of urban farmers. Each was asked to design a flag, pick a song, and provide an image emblematic of their respective group. One-by-one, the flags were hoisted as a trumpeter played the club’s song. The fanfare unfolded, captured on cameras and enhanced by a high-powered wind-machine directed at the flags. Swept up in choreographies resembling an olympic ceremony or moon landing, the associations’ alternative activities stood in absurd contrast to the interests of mainstream media and concerns of urban developers. Celebration, situated on the Stallschreiberblock, the state-owned collection of lots, recognized the clubs’ need and creative use of open and vacant space. For the duration of the exhibition, Celebration created a temporary space dedicated to their activities.
Performance, Video and Installation produced in March 2009 at Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum as part of the exhibition series ‘Landreform’.
