Mies in Berlin is the title of the first vinyl record reposited in the Bauwelt Archive, documenting a long conversation with the architect Mies van der Rohe, upon his return to Berlin after 27 years. It took place in 1964 when he began preparations for building a gallery of the 20th century. This moderated monologue is the starting point of the exhibition Mies in Berlin – Flux of Experience. Prototypes, designs and original photographs from the Swiss Neumann Hug Collection are presented with works by contemporary artists, each individually addressing the different, even problematic, developments of modernity – all of which were decisively pushed by Mies van der Rohe’s designs.

As diverse as the artistic approaches and materials used are, all of the architect’s works combine a mixture of admiration and critical distance, not the least because of the fascinating spatial concepts and reflective qualities of his architecture.

Mies in Berlin – Flux of Experience presents artists and works predominantly based in Berlin, such as Wiebke Elzel & Jana Müller, Thomas Florschuetz, Alexandra Hopf, Andreas Koch, Sabine Boehl, Claudia Kugler, Jochen Lempert, Alexei Meschtschanow, Karina Nimmerfall, Heidi Specker, Wirkus. Additionally, it includes the permanent outdoor installment of the sculpture Bank & Bleibe by Michaela Meise, which is already in the possession of the Kunstverein, and of course – works by Mies van der Rohe himself.
