ABA Projectspace | 10–20 June Isabelle Konrad & Gloria Müller
It’s okay now is an autobiographical work that, through the practice of remembering, questions, analyzes, and compares the origins and identities of the two protagonists. Remembering serves not only as a means of reflection but also as a form of dreaming and processing the past. Fictional scenes and archival material intertwine to create a narrative that merges personal and collective memories.
Join us tomorrow, 19 June at 18:00 for a performance by Isabelle Konrad & Glora Müller!
Finissage:20 June at 18:00

FIELD SCHOOL Berlin Field School in the Contemporary Arts
1 June – 15 July
This June and July, we’re excited to be co-hosting the Berlin Field School and welcoming a group of brilliant students from the Simon Fraser University (SFU) School for Contemporary Arts.
In this 9th iteration of the Berlin Field School, fifteen students are spending six weeks in Berlin. Their program, guided by ABA in collaboration with Judy Radul, offers a broad introduction to the contemporary arts in Berlin. Founded in the 12th century, Berlin has been both shaped and divided by history. Today, it is once again the capital of Germany and is recognized as a global cultural hub; a city where history is intertwined with artistic intervention and innovation, and where international visual art, theater, music, dance, and film thrive. The Field School introduces students to the formative forces and contemporary realization of art and culture in Berlin. A comprehension of the correspondence between the arts and their social, political, and material contexts will be enriched through simultaneous study, discussion, and an experience of art and the urban fabric of this complex city.
The Berlin Field School in the Contemporary Arts is a collaboration between SFU School for Contemporary Arts, Vancouver, and ABA (Air Berlin Alexanderplatz) [removed], Berlin.
The SFU School for Contemporary Arts has an interdisciplinary structure, and this year’s Field School participants are pursuing BFA degrees in Dance, Theatre performance and Literature. The research program in Berlin includes visits to galleries, museums, performances, screenings, urban sites, and studio visits, along with discussions with a range of artists.
Field School directors: Judy Radul Susanne Kriemann Aleksander Komarov
Program coordinators: Judith Milz Alice Hesnan
