Exhibitions and Movies


Ausstellungen und Filme
The VIP lounge of balancity offers monthly changing insights in Germany's vibrant art scene. Six artists exhibit their works from the areas of photography, painting, and spray paint. Further exhibitions located on the event area in front of the pavilion's stage are open to all visitors of the German Pavilion. These exhibitions ask questions about the German identity, show urban youth cultures or focus on regional specialties. Interfilm Berlin composed a comprehensive programme of short films for the German Pavilion, which will be screened in the evenings. During Shanghai Film Festival in June contemporary German movies will be shown directly at the German Pavilion in cooperation with German Films.

Art in the German Pavilion - Yolanda vom Hagen

Yolanda vom Hagen - Karlstrasse 1
Karlstraße is a street of semi-detached houses on a miners’ housing estate in the Ruhr District. The residents’ homes are “living” houses, constantly sinking due to the mining works. Whereas rainwater used to flow to the left ten years ago, today it flows to the right. The situation led to many of the homes being sold in recent years and their new inhabitants redecorated them. So you see one semi-detached house with a newly painted, colourful façade whilst the other house in the pair still has the patina of decades past. The result is a bizarre, divided housing landscape, which photographer Yolanda vom Hagen has documented in her pictures.

Art in the German Pavilion - Juergen Chill

Juergen Chill - Zelle ha01
Jürgen Chill’s chosen form of expression is also photography. In the series that will be showcased in the German Pavilion in October 2010, the photographs show rooms that were built for a particular function and are furnished accordingly. The artist manages to capture individuality and architectural consistency with an unusually static view. Not a soul is to be seen in the rooms, which the Essen-based photographer depicts exactly as he found them – from a perspective that’s out-of-the-ordinary and thus fascinating: vertically from above.
