directly on the upper level platform
Platform-Berlin is pleased to invite you to the opening of Let 'em Kuchen essen, an installation by the Berlin based artist Andrew Thomas Parry with a electroacoustic performance by Adam Asnan in his absence and an oratory by Ian Warner from Slab-Mag.
Let 'em Kuchen essen is a social critique on 'die Modernisierung' or the energy efficiency renovations currently happening in Berlin.
Across the city, a cheap and fraudulent material, EIFS polystyrene is being applied like a second skin to the exterior of buildings. It is a renovation measure subsidized by the Federal government and lauded as an environmental practice. Paradoxically, this styrofoam material is anything but environmental.
The use of this material is highly problematic from a social and environmental perspective and a main driver of rent rises that lead to eviction.
Andrew Thomas Parry is a contemporary artist with a background in architecture. He lives and works in Berlin.
The event is sponsored by Straussenbrau brewery and drinks are complimentary.
Exhibition is from 1st - 30th June 2016.
Drinks are on us thanks to Straßenbräu Brewery!
