Daniel Kötter, Constanze Fischbeck
Exhibition/ Films/ Salon-Conversation
Venue: Teatro Fondamenta Nuove / Sestiere Cannaregio, 5013

Daniel Kötter, video artist and director, and Constanze Fischbeck, set designer and video artist, work where theatre, fine arts and theory meet: “state-theatre” is a set of case-studies which explore the value and relation based on architectural transformation. In a project co-funded by the Goethe-Institut, the two artists visited abandoned and reinterpreted sites in Lagos, Teheran, Berlin, Detroit, Beirut and Mönchengladbach — urban sites which were originally meant as gathering places and once served as monuments of national identity. Their work is a unique presentation of intercultural links and at the same time an enquiry into where actually performance happens/ happened in state-made theatres.
Open from 10 am till 6 pm, free entrance
