… is a seven-month exhibition project on Alexanderplatz, the five shows of which deal with the politics of surface and marking as intervention. In various ways, the artists examine forms of marking in fields such as urban space, gender politics, the staging of bodies, club culture, and language. The film program curated by Elena Zanichelli and Jörg Franzbecker expands the frame of the exhibition by video works, feature films and shorts, which visualize the constructedness of these forms. The focus is on markings as they can be created by tactically employed moments of disruption, alienation and narrative breaks. The contributions show, among other things, the indefiniteness in the desire of the characters (March 9); they play with irritations and feints (March 16); vacillate between recent practices of re-enactments of scenes from the history of film and earlier reactions to Hollywood’s illusionism (March 23).
