Vorspiel 2015

CTM and transmediale 2015 City-wide Partner Programme

Various venues across Berlin
Opening: 9.1. at Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik (ZK/U)
Runs 10.1. - 1.1.2015

Now in its fourth year, Vorspiel takes place as a city-wide programme where over 30 Berlin-based initiatives and venues invite the public to a series of exhibition openings, performances, interventions, artist talks, and special events.

An initiative piloted in 2010, each year’s Vorspiel series invites participating partners to develop programmes reflecting on CTM and transmediale festival themes. The 2015 festival themes Un Tune (CTM) and CAPTURE ALL (transmediale) were presented along with an open call through which this year's Vorspiel partners were selected. Each partner has elaborated a project or initiative representing their own individual or networked perspective of the themes. Connecting a wide array of cultural institutions, independent spaces, and art venues, Vorspiel 2015 highlights the diversity of Berlin’s lively and multifaceted cultural life.

This year's Vorspiel programme will be launched on 9.1. at the Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik (ZK/U) and continue until a common closing event on 1.1. at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt.

More information on Vorspiel 2015 partners and activities will be available soon.
