DIFFRACTIONS––Transforming combines performance and discourse events with an exhibition that engages with the history of the site. Contemporary artistic approaches from contexts that are, in part, post-socialist, are set against the GDR past of the gallery space. Both the installative and sculptural works, as well as the subsequent event program, present the space as a performative site spanning different eras and regimes, highlighting its multi-layered nature and changeability — while illustrating the everyday aspects of political activism.
