SATELLITE BERLIN – art in collaboration
2014 -2018
When I launched SATELLITE BERLIN in 2014, I established my vision of an internationally active, genre and boundary-transcending, mobile cultural hub. Together with Rebeccah Blum, I created a neutral, moveable and flexible platform from which the natural and cultural sciences could merge with the visual arts. This vision inspired collaborative dialog about cultural and social developments and engagement in research, debate and exchange. |

FOUR CALLING BIRDS
Throughout the exhibition opening on November 29th, visitors were invited to experience the sensory delights of sight and taste by nibbling on a gingerbread house.

VITAL FORCES – FOOD IN CONTEXT
-- table talks -- teatime talks – concept dinners --
VITAL FORCES- FOOD IN CONTEXT was an event series, including lectures, table and tea time talks, workshops and excursions and took place at different locations. Leading director was food designer Inés Lauber.
The cycles in agriculture and food production are complicated and often absurd. our botanical inheritance is manipulated. VITAL FORCES explored food culture as a cultural artefact of the past, present and future and illuminated the connections and relationships of diverse fields. The series created dialogs and opportunities to discuss current issues. An example includes; how sociological changes and lifestyle diseases from mass industry-manufactured food production stands in direct opposition to the growing interest in regional, organic and artisan foods, including the preservation of biodiversity.
