On 3.6. the art space TROPEZ opens the group exhibition BELIEVE with works by ten artists and starts its seventh year since the foundation of the project space. This year's summer programme, called BELIEVE, makes various forms of belief, ideologies and mysticism tangible. The sculptures and installations of the artists deal with the interaction of believing and our everyday life. Why do we believe in higher (real or surreal) powers? What is the fascination of mysticism? The visual and performing artists, authors and musicians present moral guidance, comforting ideas and modern, sometimes humorous mythology
The exhibition will be on view from 3.6. to 3.9. during the swimming pool’s opening hours. The opening will feature musical accompaniment by Alexander Iezzi and Roman Lemberg. Throughout the summer there will be a programme of events including performances, readings and concerts by and with Anna Akosua, Broken Dimanche Press, Amala Dianor, Zoncy Heavenly, Miriam Kongstad, Mandla Rae, Trust and Unguarded.
Art at the public pool: Since summer 2017, the TROPEZ presents a three-month art programme during the outdoor pool season, including a group exhibition and series of performances and events.
TROPEZ takes art out of the environment of classic presentation venues and brings different art forms closer to a broad audience in the setting of the open-air swimming pool. The visitors encounter young local and international artistic positions, questions and arts in an uncomplicated way.
The invited artists create new exhibits for this unusual context, engage with their audience while developing their contributions, or rehearse the adaptations of their pieces in the middle of the open-air pool's everyday life: In Sommerbad Humboldthain, residents of the districts of Wedding, Moabit, Mitte, and the whole of Berlin come together in a very confined space – on sunny days, up to 3,500 guests fill the open-air pool.
