As part of the public program for the exhibition HAPPINESS IS NOT ALWAYS FUN by Rirkrit Tiravanija, the Gropius Bau invites you to a monthly series of Long Evenings.
In addition to the film screening, the same evening will feature a book presentation with Josephine Apraku, Eric Otieno Sumba, Sharonda Quainoo and Nadine Nzambisa Ngolo, a performance by Petra Hermanova, a cooking show by Luiza Prado De O. Martins and a DJ set with Ayzon.
In the film, Tiravanija accompanies Holmqvist for a day through Berlin:
from getting up in the morning and brushing his teeth, across the city to meeting friends, to reading aloud on the balcony. Since the 1990s, Holmqvist has been crossing and recomposing different types of text in his work - from poetry to advertising slogans.
The film is a detailed portrait of a day with Holmqvist, which adapts entirely to his rhythm.
Karl Holmqvist lives and works in Berlin. Holmqvist's recent solo exhibitions have been shown at Laxart, Los Angeles, Fridericianum, Kassel, Centre d'Art Contemporain, Geneva and Indipendenza, Rome (with Klara Liden). He has participated in several editions of the Venice Biennale and Performa in New York.
The event may involve photo and video recordings in which you may be recognized. By visiting, you agree that these recordings may be used to communicate the event or exhibition.
