ONGOING till MON, 8 FEB
Draftmen's Congress - LIFEZONE LIFEPOINT
The Draftsmen’s Congress: Life Zone – Life Point is an
ongoing project initiated by Pawel Althamer,
originally presented at the 7th Berlin Biennale in 2012
and then at various art centers around the world. Not
an exhibition in the traditional sense, the project
starts off with an empty room with white walls, and
everyone is invited to create, engage and converse
using images rather than words. Using paint and a
brush, visitors are encouraged to react to issues such
as politics, religion and current events. Althamer
believes that this ‘common space’ allows hierarchies
to be broken down and enables both bonding and
debate. The artist, along with his various
collaborators, will also host a series of workshops to
encourage visitors to communicate and react in a
non-verbal way.

A Godsend (Ein Geschenk der Götter)
Germany 2012 – 2014; Director: Oliver Haffner, 102 min.
Anna, an actress, unexpectedly loses her job at a
small German town theatre. She can't expect much
help from the local employment agency – but as it so
happens, there is an administrator at the agency who,
while not very militant, is enthusiastic about theatre.
Anna takes on the job of teaching drama to eight
long-term unemployed people. Initially, none of them
are particularly enthusiastic about it, nor are they
exalted about the drama “Antigone”, which Anna
wants to rehearse with them. But then the skeptical
and difficult individuals manage to draw together and
form a collective after all, giving all of them renewed
hope. A GODSEND is a tragicomedy, where the stage
is the setting for a collective restoration of the selfrespect lost by each of the individuals.

thrown together again in a foreign country. As a
young girl Sulamit falls in love with Friedrich, a young
German boy, whose family lives in the house directly
opposite – without knowing that he is the son of a
son of a Nazi official who went into hiding. When
Friedrich learns that his father was a high-ranking
officer in the SS, he breaks with his family and goes to
Frankfurt to study. Sulamit follows him, but their love
fizzles out due to his involvement in politics.

reporter in East Germany - but the fall of the Wall put
an end to his career and he is striving to survive

gambling. After the death of his mother, the bankrupt

building a rocket with her beloved Uncle Mike and
two friends. This carefree space game is interrupted

Friederike is heartbroken by his departure. While
under the constant suspicious watch of the village
policeman, she intends to bring her uncle back by
developing a machine with her two friends, which can
beam him back to his homeland. Yet, it seems as
though their experiment has the opposite results.
