Our fourth Long Evening starts with a lecture performance by artist Theresa Weber in the Gropius Bau cinema, followed by a conversation between சிந்துஜன் வரதராஜா (Sinthujan Varatharajah), essayist and political geograph, and مشترى هلال (Moshtari Hilal), artist and author. The evening ends with a performance by artist Nazanin Noori and drummer and composer Andrea Belfi on the demo station, a stage-like sculpture by the artist Rirkrit Tiravanija.

As part of the public programme accompanying the exhibition DASGLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG by Rirkrit Tiravanija, the Gropius Bau invites you to a monthly series of Long Evenings. Film screenings, readings, food activations as well as performances and DJ sets take place on and around Tiravanija’s sculptural stage demo station. The events enliven the building in its various facets and activate Tiravanija’s artistic work, which always creates spaces for people to come together. 

During the event, photographs and video recordings may be made in which you may be recognisable. By attending, you consent to these recordings being used to communicate the event or exhibition.
