Talk: Glam & Underground: Katharina Sieverding and Klaus Mettig in New York 1976/77Katharina Sieverding
The joint archive of Katharina Sieverding and Klaus Mettig presented as part of the exhibition project - the source and material for many of their works - will now itself become the occasion and location for a discursive programme at the centre of the exhibition. A six-week changing presentation will focus on thematic areas that connect their works on a superordinate level. However, it will also give space to aspects and questions of her artistic practice that have been little explored to date, including her feminist and interdisciplinary teaching of Visual Culture Studies at the Universität der Künste (UdK) Berlin, which has shaped many generations of students. In public discussions, workshops and talks with invited guests, the socio-political themes raised in the presentations will be deepened and expanded upon.
In the 2nd archive talk: Erika Balsom (scholar, critic and lecturer in film studies at King's College London), AA Bronson (artist and founding member of General Idea, Berlin) and Prof. Dr Marc Siegel (Professor of Film Studies at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz).
The event will be held in English.

YOKO ONO. MUSIC OF THE MIND
Named after “Grapefruit” (1964), Yoko Ono's collection of artistic instructions, the fanzine “grapefruits”, founded in Düsseldorf, deals with composition and sound art from a feminist perspective. On the occasion of the exhibition YOKO ONO. MUSIC OF THE MIND, a special edition of the magazine will be published, focussing on works by Yoko Ono and artistic positions influenced by her.
On Saturday, 22 February 2025, the grapefruits team will present an all-day music and performance programme at K20 that links Yoko Ono's thoughts and works with various perspectives from contemporary art and music.

4.45 – 5.30 pm: Concert by she-dog
Somewhere between art-punk and dark post-punk, she-dog create their own sound. The Cologne trio's songs are hurtful and vulnerable, biting and sweet at the same time.
Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger not only influences a younger generation of artists. Her theory of the matrixial boundary space is also received in psychoanalysis, art philosophy and other sciences. On the day after the opening, international artists and academics will discuss the influence of Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger's art and theory. The focus will be on the role of art as a source of humanity, understanding and a sense of the future.
Speakers: Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Nicolas Bourriaud, Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger, Kolja Reichert and others.
The event will be held in English.
