5th berlin biennial for contemporary art : April 5 – June 15, 2008 When things cast no shadow curated by Adam Szymczyk and Elena Filipovic Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum was selected as one of four venues to host the 5th berlin biennial for contemporary art, curated by Adam Szymczyk and Elena Filipovic. The biennial comprised two parts, day and night. During the day, artworks and specially commissioned projects were on view at Kunst-Werke Insitute for Contemporary Art, Neue Nationalgalerie, Schinkel Pavillon, and Skulpturenpark. During the night, the exhibition continued in the form of events held in widely different sites throughout the city every evening for the duration of the biennial. Thus expanding the spatial and temporal conditions of the typical exhibition, the 5th berlin biennial brought together artists of different generations and from around the world and aimed to privilege in-depth dialogue with artists, new productions, and context responsive projects.

SPEKULATIONEN : November 2007 - March 2008 Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum consists of 62 vacant lots on 5 blocks of downtown real estate. For years, the land has been most commonly identified for its political history, the Mauerstreifen, or militarized zone within the Wall. But recently, its property values have begun to react more like the sudden formation of mountains. Driven entirely by a speculative market, the land’s value and identity are shifting. Skulpturenpark does not own any land, but when necessary, works with the landowners to present its exhibitions. Six artists have been invited for the series. In Spekulationen, its intention is to present 6 diverse works which add a creative layer to its already rich, however uncertain and changing, landscape. The exhibitions series is generously funded by the Hauptstadtkulturfond, Berlin, Germany. • Press release   Artists Etienne Boulanger Valeska Peschke Sophia Hultén Kai Schiemenz Ulrike Mohr Daniel Bozhkov   Curators Eva Hertzsch & Adam Page, Berlin Birgit Schumacher & Uwe Jonas, Berlin Adam Sutherland, Grizedale, England KUNSTrePUBLIK e.V.
