Home Sweet Home International Performance Festival

Recording

Werkstatt der Kulturen, Berlin-Neukölln – 9,10,11 July 2010

Our goal was to bring together and network artist working in the field of performance and video art, that coming from different geographical and social backgrounds work and live in Berlin.

In the past years this two generes gained position in the contemporany art scene and more artist took them as their main medium. Both are expressions of our eclectic historical moment, produced at the crossroads of other disciplines such as installation, conceptual art, dance, theater, architecture, design, sculpture, electronic, net and digital art or other documentary aspects of artistic practice. The aim of the festival has been to show the wide range of possibilities that these genres include. 

Home Sweet Home hosted a total of 15 international artists among which  we created  a network and a dialogue between them, established new working partnerships as well as we archived and catalogued their works. Alltogether genetaring a “performance reference centre” in the conflictive multicultural area of Berlin-Neukölln.

 Within the Videoart programme we invited 6 curators who represented international institutions from around Europe. Curators selected and showed works related to live art and public intervention. Site-specific video and performance interventions were done, showing how the two genres can interact with the daily life of the neighbourhood.
