CURATORIAL WORKSHOP REAL PLAYERS
on the occasion of the 6th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art
Based on the success of the curatorial workshops held in relation to the 4th and 5th Berlin Biennale, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, supported by the Goethe-Institut Munich, Allianz Cultural Foundation, and BMW takes the 6th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art as an occasion to once again strengthen the initiative of young curators by organizing a workshop for thirteen young, international aspirants of this field.
The curatorial workshop Real Players will take place around the opening days of the 6th Berlin Biennale from June 5 to 15, 2010. Consisting of ten days of seminars and debates, as well as exhibition and studio visits, it aims to enhance the young curators' professional development by exploring in depth topics of this year's edition of the biennial. The workshop will thus emphasize the question of how to navigate, think, and create new perspectives within our current social context and realities. Further it will provide the young participants with an exclusive look 'behind the scenes' of the 6th Berlin Biennale as well as give insights into the current art production of Berlin, supplemented by a two-day excursion to Warsaw.
Public Lecture by Boris Groys
As part of the curatorial workshop a public lecture by Boris Groys will be held on June 9, 2010 at 6 pm in Festsaal Kreuzberg (Skalitzer Straße 130, Berlin-Kreuzberg).
Lecture in English, admission free.
The curatorial workshop Real Players was organized by the Berlin Biennale in cooperation with Goethe-Institut e. V., Munich, Allianz Cultural Foundation, and BMW.

Satellite Projects
In cooperation with the Institute for Art in Context at the Berlin University of the Arts five so-called "Satellite Projects" have been developed, which, based on the 6th Berlin Biennale's contents, create alternative approaches to art and bring the local public and various social groups into dialog with the exhibition.
Amongst others these include:
Mein lokales Modell and Visionsbox
Two projects in cooperation with students of the Nürtingen Primary School in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
The starting point of the projects is the architectural model of the quarter of Kreuzberg that is on display in the Kreuzbergmuseum (Adalbertstraße 95A, Berlin-Kreuzberg). It is here that the project's results are on show.
Opening: 2.7.2010, 5 pm
Werkzeug Wahrnehmung - A walk between guided tour and self experiment
An approximately 1-hour walk with visually impaired and sighted persons.
Including talks and practical exercises (e. g. "Does your nose understand the 6th Berlin Biennale?"), the walk will lead to the works of the 6th Berlin Biennale and into the neighborhood of Kreuzberg.
Dates: 13.6.2010, noon / 18.6.2010, 5.30 pm / 20.6.2010, noon / 2.7.2010, 4 pm
Admission: 2,50 EUR, Booking: visit@berlinbiennale.de
