Die Himmelsnavigation ist eine uralte Praxis, die uns seit Tausenden von Jahren über Kontinente und Meere hinweg geleitet hat. Sich auf diese Weise im Raum zu orientieren, bedeutet, eine feste Gruppe von Punkten zu wählen und sich an ihnen zu orientieren, weit über sich selbst hinauszuschauen, um herauszufinden, wo man ist.

In diesem Projekt kartieren wir eine neue Konstellation, eine Reihe von Fixsternen am Firmament von Santa Maria la Ribera (Mexico City), und von diesen ausgehend eine neue Reihe von Beziehungen, die uns leiten.

Celestial navigation is an age-old practice, one that has sufficed to guide us for thousands of years across continents and seas. To orient yourself in space this way is to pick a fixed set of points and maintain your bearing in their relation, to look far outside yourself to find where you are.

Here, in this project, we chart a new constellation, a fixed set of stars in the firmament of Santa Maria la Ribera, and from these a new set of relations to guide us.

This is part of B-LA-M, a three year art exchange created to deepen the relationships between the independent art scenes of Berlin, Los Angeles & Mexico City.

a casual corridor is an outdoor vitrine exhibition space at WIRWIR with a monthly changing show.

WIRWIR is an artist run project space developed by Adrian Schiesser and April Gertler and located in former shop premises in Berlin-Neukölln. Over the years the need was recognised to experiment with varying formats of artistic presentation and creation and in doing so, we continue to create multiple access points including collaborative artist walks, an art bar, lecture/baking performances, exhibitions, video screening evenings and self-published zines and books which often correspond to events, exhibitions and actions that have taken place in or along side WIRWIR.

Have a listen to April and Adrian talk about WIRWIR for ART NEXT DOOR - a podcast by Tuce Erel.

TERRITORIAL CLAIM

by Uli Aigner 

Back in 2015, Adrian and April met the Austrian artist Uli Aigner. They invited her to participate in SONNTAG in 2016. She showed the first 250 vessels from her (then) new project EINE MILLION. The premise of the project was to make one million ceramic vessels for the rest of her life.
We were thrilled to work with her and she was equally happy to have a chance to show the new project in Berlin for the first time.

Since then, conversations, collaborations, apple strudels and much more have been shared. Uli entrusted her project TERRITORIAL CLAIM on long term loan to WIRWIR.

TERRITORIAL CLAIM is a project within EINE MILLION created in 2016 - it includes 206 vessels of all shapes and sizes. Every vessel has a country written on it and every country is a member state of the United Nations. Uli's TERRITORIAL CLAIM is a collaborating vessel and has already found its way
into many projects taking place at WIRWIR.

It is with incredible thanks to Uli Aigner and Michal Kosakowski for entrusting WIRWIR with this amazing work.
