Marking the 100th anniversary of the unveiling of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Revolution Monument, the Mies van der Rohe Haus presents "Monument to a Monument to a Monument", a project by artist Nils Norman at Friedrichsfelde Central Cemetery.
"Monument to a Monument to a Monument" takes as its starting point the absence left by the original memorial, which was destroyed by the National Socialists in 1935. The Project asks what utopian visions and their ruptures might mean for contemporary social and political debates.
At the centre of "Monument to a Monument to a Monument" is a temporary, participatory architectural structure designed by Nils Norman, around which events, discussions, and encounters will take place over the course of a month. By thinking from the perspective of what is no longer there, the project understands itself as an attempt to make memory tangible as a living, collective process.
The entire public program is free of charge and can be viewed on the website of the Mies van der Rohe Haus:
