MORE FOTOS

tamtamART have the pleasure to invite you to our opening for exhibition : “MASA # 6 : VIRUS/SUPERSTAR” by Yuki Jungesblut. The show is organized by Isabel Schmiga and Sandra Teitge and will open on 19. 20. Nov. 2011.

For MASA BERLIN Berlin-based artist Yuki Jungesblut (*1974) explores the metaphoric power

of the concepts virus and superstar in our everyday life. Originated in the sciences in the last

century, the term virus has since entered other fields (»computer virus« p.e.). The superstar is

also a creation of the 20th century and closely linked to mass media. In a growing mental map

of associations, the artist invites the audience at MASA BERLIN to either draw, write down, or

verbally communicate ideas concerning notions of VIRUS/SUPERSTAR. Jungesblut will

subsequently structure and model the collected remarks in the further development of the

project.

MASA SPREAD YOURSELF! Masa is the Turkish word for table and simultaneously provides

the title for the mobile and independent exhibition space MASA BERLIN. It is an alterable table

vitrine, which appeared for the first time in 2006 in Istanbul, where it was initiated by artist

Vahit Tuna as a space for contemporary art. In 2011, MASA multiplied and starting from April

its offspring has been invading Berlin’s artistic and urban landscape. In-between-space itself,

MASA – a table set with art – will appear in in-between-spaces, attest them, open up a dialogue

and simply embody the notion of hospitality.

MASA BERLIN - BEING HOSTED AS THE HOST To invite has a twofold meaning in Hebrew and means additional to its conventional use also »to make time«. The notion of double hospitality, triggered via its peregrination and its halt at the most different locations, will be framed by a condensed and focused two-day exhibition format.

»As an extension that excludes art created for the system, as an environment that aims to

compose an area with no boundaries for the Artist, MASA welcomes everyone!« Vahit Tuna

MASA BERLIN is initiated and organized by Isabel Schmiga and Sandra Teitge.
