Daniel Sinsel, Wandarbeit, Ausstellungsraum London, 2011–2014

For many decades Berlin has developed a lively, diverse, and independent way of producing culture and counteracting government decisions, based on, local, generous, and enthusiastic, but also worried, social communities that exchanged resources and ideas within a larger political debate. The city became a “natural” shelter and fertile environment for dissidents, artists, political refugees, and immigrants with any background also due to the need to overcome a traumatic past full of human generated atrocities that are still present in people memories and behaviour.We are interested in reaching audiences that are NOT part of the art world.I wish that politicians would realize how important funding structures are and how much these can shape an art scene – shape a city.
