Kulturpark | Stephanie Sherman + George Sheer

On Friday April 27th Stephanie Sherman and George Scheer gave a talk on Kulturpark which was followed by Berlin style ping-pong and a dance party.  Kulturpark is an investigation and re-animation of an abandoned amusement park in East Berlin, created and produced by 4 international curators, including Elsewhere founders. The park, originally called Kulturpark Plänterwald, was built in 1969 by the GDR and was a rare site for Soviet amusement and attraction. After the fall of the wall, the park became the family-owned Spreepark and suffered challenges of access, attendance, and economy. In 2001, the park closed from capital collapse. Ever since, visitors have regularly traversed the fence to explore this jungle of broken thrill machines.In June 2012, a series of events will explore the potential of these recent ruins, building upon the unique energy of Berlin’s urban, social, cultural, and political landscapes.
