The Barenzwinger (Bear Pit) in Koellnischer Park in Berlin housed several generations of brown bears over a period of some eighty years. Since September 2017, the former compound for the armorial animals of Berlin incarnate has been a venue for site-specific art. The publication Traces Architectures Projections documents the sensitive transformation of the Barenzwinger, whose contemporary exhibition program examines the particular historical and architectural features of the location from an artistic perspective and opens it up to urban, cultural visions and contemporary discourse.Artists: Katharina Bevand, Natalie Czech, Mariechen Danz, EASTER, Andreas Greiner, Kerstin Honeit, Miriam Jonas, KAYA, Anne-Sophie Kneer, Julia Koenig, Linda Kuhn, Alex Lebus, NEOZOON, Patzug / Hertweck, Lawrence Power, Reto Pulfer, Johannes Paul Raether, Marten Schech, Sarah Ancelle Schoenfeld, Mirjam Thomann, Alvaro Urbano.Texts by: Stefan Aue, Sandra Bartoli, Ellen Blumenstein, Claudia Bosse, Hanna Engelmeier, Evelyn Gregel, Nele Guntheroth, Sebastian Hager, Julia Heunemann, Anne Hoelck, Sacha Kagan, Alexander Koch, Marie-Christin Lender, Constanze von Marlin, Christina Katharina May, Natascha Meuser, Ute Muller-Tischler, Jessica Paez, Nadia Pilchowski, Christoph Rauhut, Sarah Sander, Nandita Vasanta, Christopher Weickenmeier, Hanns Lennart Wiesner, Sven Wirth, Imke Woelk.Text in English and German.
