Judith Raum. 'Disponible Teile' - Lecture performance in English language, 45 min
In a lecture performance harmless entrepreneurs (2011), Judith Raum will put up an installation Disponible Teile based on German efforts in Ottoman agriculture and infrastructure at the beginning of the 20th century. Through images, texts and sculptural actions, Raum's intervention at Chert reflects moments of improvisation and makeshift solutions within the construction of the Baghdad Railway, a continental route of transport, which was financed by Deutsche Bank during the early 20th century and was supposed to make the resources and markets of Anatolia accessible for a variety of German businesses. The provisional structures and archival material put up during the performance will remain installed at gallery Chert until August 24th. Lecture performance starts at 7.00 pm. Skalitzer. 68 invites artists, editors, performers for a series of lectures, presentations, exhibitions and events which will take over the spaces of Chert, Motto and Silberkuppe each Saturday, between July 21 and August 25
