Ion Grigorescu. In the body of the victim
Ed. by Marta Dziewanska
Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, 2010
with texts by Cosmin Costinas, Georg Schöllhammer, Jan Verwoert, and Magda Radu
Ion Grigorescu, born in 1945 in Bucharest, was one of the first Romanian conceptual artists and advocates of anti-art, postulating a radical consolidation of artistic activities with quotidian life. He is the author of numerous films, photographic series, and actions recorded on film, as well as drawings and collages, which documented both his private life as well as the passage of the Romanian people from life under communist regimes to the realities of expansive capitalism. From a formalist perspective, Grigorescu’s oeuvre can be seen as a classical example of Central European experimental art, which the artist deploys in his search for a place within the extremely oppressive political system.
The publication is the fruit of the exhibition prepared in 2009 by Kathrin Rhomberg and the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, which for the first time gathered works from 1969 to 2009. As part of the 6th Berlin Biennale Grigorescu’s film Sleep (2008), the photograph Topbottom (2008) and a diary of the artist are shown at KW.

A two-part program of the 6th Berlin Biennale presents works by Friedl vom Gröller (Kubelka) and George Kuchar. Vom Gröller (Kubelka) is a photographer, psychoanalyst and filmmaker. Since the 1960s she has shot filmic portraits that are reminiscent of Warhol's Screen Tests. Yet in contrast to Warhol, she is occasionally also in front of the camera.
Kuchar is a pioneer of underground cinema. Many of his idiosyncratic melodramas have become avant-garde classics, while his video diaries have gone largely unnoticed. Their documentary perspective opens up a level of self-perception that lends depth to Kuchar's melodramatic exuberance.
There will be an introduction by Marc Siegel and Ulrich Ziemons.
The 6th Berlin Biennale will show Passage Briare by vom Gröller (Kubelka) at Oranienplatz 17 and video works by Kuchar, selected by Marc Siegel, at Mehringdamm 28.

Admission: 5 Euro, concessions 3 Euro
The drummer, performer, artist and composer Sven-Åke Johansson is one of the legendary protagonists of free improvised music. As a drummer Johansson defined the European Free Jazz with EMT and the duo with Alexander von Schlippenbach. In the 1970s he began to record his ideas for performances in drawn scores. Searching for new sounds, since the early 1960s, Johansson has been working on the musicalization of everyday objects committed to the continuous expansion and poetization of the acoustic material. Within the framework of the 6th Berlin Biennale his large-scale drawings of helicopters are on view at Oranienplatz 17.
