POWER NIGHTS: Being Mothers

A growing exhibition curated by Lucia Pietroiusti in collaboration with Helen Turner, Katharina Worf and Adriana Tranca

The expansive programme comprises an evolving curatorial concept, exhibition and live performances centered on slow, sustainable exhibition-making. It features newly commissioned works by Revital Cohen & Tuur Van Balen, Cooking Sections, Karrabing Film Collective, Tabita Rezaire, Himali Singh Soin and Isabel Lewis & Sissel Tolaas in collaboration with Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop and Ethan Braun.  

The group exhibition has been growing, evolving and unfolding since autumn 2021. It will continue to do so until 31 July 2022, forming a dynamic programme of film, performance, smell, sound, food and installation across E-WERK’s varied spaces, in the streets of Luckenwalde and the Erich Mendelsohn Hat Factory which neighbours E-WERK. The programme is presented as a long-term, cumulative exhibition, in an effort to champion new exhibition formats focused on slow curating and sustainable deceleration. 

The programme for April 30 will unfold as follows:

13:47–14:20​ RE3 Train: H_SPACE_H by Sissel Tolaas & Isabel Lewis
On 30 April catch the 1:47pm RE3 train from Südkreuz (direction Falkenberg) to experience the inaugural train intervention composed of smell. Then, join the walking procession to E-WERK Luckenwalde. Approaching the train ride from Berlin to Luckenwalde as a site itself for meaning-making and storytelling, Isabel Lewis, Sissel Tolaas in collaboration with Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop and Ethan Braun score the 30-minute journey, addressing multiple senses in H_SPACE_H. This work is a partitur in which smells, movements and sounds are guiding elements that amplify the experience of the bodily passage. H_SPACE_H unfolds in multiple stages on 30 April (smell), on 11 June (smell and movement) and comes together as a new ambulatory live artwork, to premiere on 30 July 2022. 

From 15:00
All exhibitions by Himali Singh Soin, Revital Cohen & Tuur Van Balen and Karrabing Film Collective open to view across the exhibition spaces of E-WERK.

15:30: Grundbrot by Cooking Sections 
Turner Prize nominees Cooking Sections have developed a bread to reimagine human and more-than-human relationships to soil, created in collaboration with Luckenwalde organic flour mill Steinmeyer Mühl and regenerative farm Güt & Boesel in Brandenburg, and which will be available to purchase at E-WERK. Grundbrot is a recipe to address soil exhaustion after decades of intensive fertilizers and agrochemicals that moves us to enhance biodiversity in ground biota around Brandenburg and at E-WERK. Grundbrot forms part of Cooking Sections' ambitious multi-site CLIMAVORE, and is the first step for E-WERK Luckenwalde in Becoming CLIMAVORE, one of the first cultural institutions to do so in Germany. 

17:00: Static Range by Himali Singh Soin with a therapeutic performance
