PALACE OF UN/LEARNING OPENING
We are happy to invite you to our exhibition „PALACE OF UN/LEARNING“ at DAZ – Deutsches Architektur Zentrum in Berlin!
The Grand Opening will be on 19 June 2025 at 19:00.
The exhibition will run from
20 June – 31 July 2025 with a residency program and great public events.
PALACE OF UN/LEARNING is a laboratory for imagining architecture otherwise, it is a space of discourse and action to collectively develop ideas for a multi-perspective, caring and fairer architecture.
The term UN/LEARNING describes the process of questioning and unlearning established spatial practices. It aims to achieve a shift towards an architecture of multiplicity, empathy, solidarity and circularity. The curators Bernadette Krejs and Max Utech therefore create a PALACE at the DAZ, a transformable exhibition landscape of spatial machines and objects of desire such as the Furry Bed, the Collective Skin Curtain, the Tentacular Being and the Caregiver, which form a playful infrastructure for an alternative production of space. The international collectives EXUTOIRE, PARITY FRONT, MATRI-ARCHI(TECTURE) and MOULD explore new perspectives and possibilities for action in the field of architecture by negotiating, unlearning and rethinking the notions of WE/CARE/POWER/WORK while working on site and in public events:
Who is actually planning for whom?
How do we overcome the restless exploitation of resources?
What becomes visible and thus part of the architectural canon?
And which design and planning processes in architectural production do we accept?
Curation/Scenography: Bernadette Krejs & Max Utech
