Teams of workers, aided with heavy machinery, tractors and lifts, have been building an immense architecture on the wild, fallow land of Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum. On this occasion, Skulpturenpark has employed its own one-man construction team. In the last few weeks, Christoph Ziegler has constructed Camp Exodus, an architectural assemblage of envisioned utopias of the past, a convergence of a space station, garden plot and a 70s module house. What has already been attempted on a grand scale will be presented and understood on a personally achievable DIY scale. Camp Exodus consists of five interior working-stations open for public use. Away from the routine of daily life, observations can be collected, assimilated, reflected and transformed here. Camp Exodus is a performative architecture that is dedicated to the praxis of utopi-sizing. Its functions and potentials will be further employed by a series of invited artists, researchers, architects and musicians.

MONDAY - THURSDAY Daily 4pm-9pm Camp Exodus archive is open and grows. FRIDAY JULY 24th 8pm, Oracle (of the world): LE ECK LYPSEHÖHLE, an open-air-oracle-spectacle The oracle offers an alternative method of questioning. Thoughts and assertions are deconstructed and recomposed in a different way. Response = (question) + deformance. Some people say the oracle makes things clearer. Others say it makes them more complicated. The oracle is neither exhibition nor performance. It is an attitude and a deformance. SATURDAY JULY 25th Wunderland Curatorial Committee Wunderland is supported by the European Cultural Foundation.
