Through October 18 A final exhibition as well as the last Probebühne (rehearsal stage) undertakes a review of the collaborative experimental exhibition program by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) and the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation). Projects with different approaches show what contemporary presentations of non-European historical collections can look like. The Laboratory Principle. The Path to the Forum: The Humboldt Lab Dahlem, the concluding exhibition of the Humboldt Lab, is a retrospective, a perspective, and a synthesis all in one. All the experiments that took place from 2012 through 2015, and which were subsequently discussed within the seven Probebühnen, are to be displayed and reflected upon—including their premises, aims, experimental form and their outcomes. Among the projects of the Probebühne 7, there is a mediation laboratory for teenagers, an online communication platform developed with representatives from one collection's region of origin, as well as various artistic interventions by Nevin Alada?, Kader Attia, Sunah Choi and Mathilde ter Heijne, among others. Symposia and workshops are other integral aspects of the program—the discussion remains as lively as ever. About Humboldt Lab Dahlem For the past three years, the Humboldt Lab has accompanied the Ethnologisches Museum (Ethnological Museum) and the Museum für Asiatische Kunst (Asian Art Museum) of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (National Museums in Berlin) on their journey to become the Humboldt-Forum. With its exhibitions, events and discussions under the Probebühne title, it regularly provides inspiration and new impulses for the planning process. The following individuals, among others, have contributed to the first five editions since 2013: artists Waseem Ahmed, Yael Bartana, Theo Eshetu, Alexandra Pirici, Kirstine Roepstorff, Karin Sander, Simon Starling, Yuken Teruya and Zhao Zhao; architects Andreas Heller, Barbara Holzer and Tristan Kobler, raumlaborberlin; designer Konstantin Grcic; curators Nicola Lepp, Florian Malzacher and Angela Rosenberg; and musician Robert Lippok.
