The fading tromp l’oeil from Schinkel Klause’s days as a restaurant during the DDR will be painted gray and renovated into an exhibition space for the Schinkel Pavillon this summer. Over the next six weeks, concerts will fill the space in and around the Schinkel Klause before its renovation, and before the tenants move into the new Kronprinzengärten condominiums under construction a few meters away — the same construction which destroyed the foundation of the neighboring Schinkel-designed Friedrichswerdersche Kirche. The brick church is now collapsing in on itself, held up internally by the scaffolding that also wraps every building surrounding it. The concerts will take place in the evening, transitioning into darkness, and soon into summer.

with ongoing installations and works by Grayson Revoir, Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff, and Marlene McCarty
