The exhibition ECHOHAUS, which we are realizing with the kind support of Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Berlin-Mitte mbH (WBM), takes the 30th anniversary of Haus Schwarzenberg as an opportunity to bring together artistic works on sound or acoustic memory, sonic traces and archive materials that are linked to the history of the house, its surroundings and Berlin's subculture since the 1990s. The works take up the idea of the echo - as a trace, repetition or fragment from another time. In addition to current and historical works, archive materials and personal objects are shown that create connections between past and present. These can be seen in installations, metal sculpture and photography, for example. The exhibition is complemented by text passages from Norman Ohler's novel MITTE, which are integrated into the exhibition space as a literary echo. A comprehensive accompanying program puts the trace on the stage in the Eschschloraque Rümschrümp artists' club: live tributes, concerts and a selected line-up reflect those sonic traces in the ECHOHAUS and implement them live on stage. Also featuring a reading by Norman Ohler from the novel "MITTE" as well as a discussion with Beate Kunath and a screening of her film "Abschied und Ankunft. Die Arbeitsbibliothek von Stefan und Inge Heym" (Reading & film screening dates tba).
