Final exhibition of the Humboldt Lab Dahlem. Until October 2015 the Lab will show how a contemporary presentation of non-European, historical museum collections at the Humboldt Forum can look like.
Review and Preview at the same time : Six new projects in the frame of « Probebühne 7 » are the prelude to the finale of the Humboldt Lab Dahlem. The « Probebühne 7″ awaits you with the projects „(K)ein Platz an der Sonne“, „Korea ausstellen“, „Paradies der Kopfjäger“, „Sammlungen schauen“, „Springer, nochmals“ and „Wissen teilen“. The artists , artists , curators will be present. The projects of » Probebühne 6 » are still on view.
« Principle laboratory » – All of the experiments realized and debated in the seven „Probebühnen“ (rehearsal stages) of Humboldt Lab Dahlem will be recalled and reflected – with their issues, objectives, experimental set-ups and results. They illustrate the way in which the current exhibition planning for the Humboldt Forum has resulted in a partly intuitive, partly methodically progressive program. Looking back on an inspiring series of experiments « principle laboratory » is somehow an exhibition about exhibiting.
It was designed by Martin Heller, together with the scenographers of the arge gillman schnegg.
