Curator: Kathrin Becker
Conceptual artist Mischa Kuball (* 1959 in Düsseldorf, lives in Düsseldorf) uses the medium of light to explore architectural spaces as well as social and political discourse. In his projects, he reflects on sociocultural structures and creates interventions that emphasise or reinterpret contexts of architectural history. For the KINDL’s striking Kesselhaus, Kuball is developing boiler house, a site-specific work that connects the present with the past.
At its centre is a system of rotating mirrors that render the emptiness of the space perceptible at different speeds: slow rotation seems to expand the space, while rapid rotation shatters it into fleeting splinters. Through the movement of these reflections alone, a space emerges in which emptiness is not a state but a dynamic process. The space extends through the rows of tall windows into the exterior of the KINDL: what appears inside as a fragile architecture of reflection becomes, outside, a public figure of light – a membrane between the institution and its neighbourhood.
For the opening, the installation is activated through sound and performance, with interventions by Severin Black and Abi Asisa.
The opening event is supported by Carhartt WIP.
As part of Berlin Art Week 2026
