A trans featuring EX-MÊKH: PROBE
Haus der Statistik,
Berlin (D), December 8 until December 31, 2019
The exhibition and weekend of performances are featured by A TRANS at
the Haus Statistik as part
of the ‚Pioneer Uses‘ program organized by The Network of the independent
Berlin Project Spaces and Initiatives in collaboration with Haus
der Statistik.
In this exhibition EX-MÊKH will show their inspiration and working method, the themes
that have always been important to the collective. The preceding acts together
with the collective of KRAATZ during the performance weekend will be used as
fertilizer for the process that will eventually result in an exhibition about
the creating of an exhibition.
A Weekend of Performance EX MEKH Performance Berlin
2019
Saturday December 6
16.00 h- KRAATZ (Marian Wijnvoord and Forbes Morlock): Writing on Art
17.00 h – Kees Koomen:
Tssssss K-BAM
In the context of writing The Diaries and writing down what enters my senses I
will now try to visualize the sounds that I hear. Working together with
improvising musician Yorgos Dimitriades
who will improvise on percussion I will try to translate this sound into
images.
17:30 Ellen Rodenberg and Yorgos
Dimitriadis: Feed
In this “In between time”- space of the Haus der Statistiek I want to do a performance in which I will show
a working attitude. It originates from a barrel full of experiences in my studio,
daily life and education which I feel to be socially and constructively useful
in my functioning as a human being.
18.00 h – Saturday December 6 – Maarten Schepers:
Stelle
Can we live in any place on Earth and call it Home? What is home? Is it the
stuff that keeps us warm? Is it our past we recognize in our surroundings? Is
it in the place we act to keep on living? Schepers
will try to elaborate on this question in the performance he proposes.
18:30 Yorgos Dimitriadis
DUO: Das Sahnehäubchen
Sunday December 7 – EX-MÊKH: The Act
EX-MÊKH was invited to make an exhibition in the space on the invitation of
A-Trans which will be shown during the month of December. We came together as a
collective that wants to think about the nature and process of making exhibitions.
For this occasion the opening of the exhibition will be a theatrical
performance about our practice. We will start a process in front of the
public culminating in an exhibition.
In this exhibition EX-MÊKH will show their inspiration and working
attitude, the themes that have always been important to the collective. The
preceding acts during the performance weekend will be used as fertilizer for
the process that will eventually result in an exhibition about the creating of
an exhibition.

EX-MÊKH is the name for the collaboration of visual artists Ellen Rodenberg, Kees Koomen and Maarten Schepers. From the beginning of 2007 onwards EX-MÊKH
organized exhibitions in a number of spaces, varying from small intimate rooms
to large, more intimidating halls. The context in which the artworks were
presented has been determined each time again.
