MICA MOCA http://micamoca.com/index.htm
MicaMoca is an independent and temporary centre of performing arts in Berlin. The centre is operating from May to September 2011 in the old safe factory, in Wedding. The international team of curators who run MicaMoca aim at supporting production and presentation of the most interesting performing projects created by the artists working outside the institutional framework of culture. MicaMoca is a guerilla-project, operating with no permanent grant but providing tangible evidence that independent artists need new space to work desperately. Since May MicaMoca has presented over 90 performances, concerts, exhibitions of artists from more than 27 countries, including Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Burkina Faso, Japan. On a surface of 6500 m2 there are several permanently busy studios.
AADK (Aktuelle Architektur der Kultur) www.aadk.org
The AADK Berlin GbR is an artistic network based in Berlin, branching out in Spain and Portugal. Its members (Jochen Arbeit (DE); Anders Bigum (D); Thierry Decottignies (FR); Jan Ferreira (GR/PT); Abraham Hurtado (ES); Kotomi Nishiwaki (JP); Vania Rovisco (PT); and Maria F. Scaroni (IT)) regularly present their work – performance, live installation, soundscapes, video work, literature – in Berlin, Spain, Portugal and elsewhere. AADK’s anti-systematic vision, in constant adjustment and formation, is permeable to the outside of its various centers, and privileges an intuitive and critical approach to the fields it decides to visit, occupy, utilize, dissect, transform or fracture.
The art making is peculiar to each individual artist, but presentation settings and strategies of fruition hold a discursive and social interest, therefore members and guest artists come together in creating live events. The group of artists shared a vision to create a platform that would support their ultimate needs but also uphold the essential working relations with others. AADK’s focal point has always been a keen interest in creating a network that is self-generative and accommodates others.
DANCE_PL / Polish dance in Berlin
Dance_PL is an exceptional presentation of new Polish dance in Berlin. The curators of MicaMoca, in cooperation with the Institute of Music and Dance in Warsaw, decided to invite Polish performing artists into art space of Berlin, one of the most important centers of European culture. On 13–28 August, the following artists will perform in MicaMoca: Artistic Group KONCENTRAT (13-08-2011), Harakiri Farmers, Karol Tyminski, Ramona Nagabczynska (20/21-08-2011), Anna Nowicka (27-08-2011). Those presentations will be of unique value: the artists will bring their latest works, the majority of which have never been presented in Poland.
