For Markus Draper, houses often serve as a starting point, acting as repositories of complex and contradictory histories. His new work in the exhibition Memory Is a Strange Bell at n.b.k. is based on long-term research into the Glass House (1949), the iconic residence in Connecticut designed by Philip Johnson (1906–2005). The transparent structure consists of a single room containing a large dark-red brick cylinder that accommodates a fireplace and the bathroom. Johnson first revealed the source of inspiration for this unusual architectural element in a 1950 article in Architectural Review, stating that the motif and form of the brick cylinder were based on a burned-down village. In a foreword about Johnson, the architect Peter Eisenman questioned this statement: “Who would build a house as a metaphorical ruin?” Johnson’s work as a war correspondent during World War II and his embrace of fascist ideology are not mentioned in such contexts. Through an installation adapting the iconic building in the two-part work Mitreißendes Spektakel, Studie #1 und #2 and the display of extensive archival material, Draper traces the building’s ambivalent history and Johnson’s contradictory, at times ideologically driven biography.

A first look at the exhibition Memory Is a Strange Bell at n.b.k.!

Opening on Friday, March 13, 2026, 7 pm, with works by Nadja Buttendorf, Markus Draper, Martin Eberle, Noi Fuhrer, Shaun Motsi, Leonie Nagel.

With the exhibition Memory Is a Strange Bell, n.b.k. and Künstlerhaus Bethanien jointly present works by the recipients of the Berlin Senate’s 2025 visual arts work stipend. Taking place in parallel at both institutions, the exhibition brings together international artists living and working in Berlin. It underscores once again the crucial role that reliable funding structures play in the production and presentation of contemporary art. The works on view address social, political, and historical questions and critically reflect on power relations, norms, and ideologies across a wide range of aesthetic practices.

WOHNKOMPLEX - Kunst und Leben im Plattenbau
Kuratiert von @kitonedo
Im @dasminsk in Potsdam
06.09.2025 - 08.02.2026

Am letzten Wochenende war ich mir diese spannende Ausstellung ansehen. Gefallen haben mir die unterschiedlichen Werke aus verschiedenen Epochen in der Zusammensetzung, und die daraus entstandenen Beziehungen bei der Betrachtung. Hier ein kleiner Einblick. Die Ausstellung zeigt auf zwei Etagen Werken aus den Anfängen der DDR. Teilweise handelt es sich um prozesshafte Auseinandersetzungen ihrer Entwicklung bis in die Gegenwart anhand der Entstehung von und dem Leben in Plattenbausiedlungen. Diese sind charakteristisch für die Entwicklung des Landes sowie ihrer Kinder. Auch mich prägte das Aufwachsen in der Platte. Was hat es mit unseren Eltern gemacht? Wie geht die Gesellschaft heute mit diesem Erbe um?
Woher kam die rassistische Gewalt Anfang der 90er Jahre im Osten? Wie schlimm ist es heute (noch/wieder)? Was hat diese Architektur mit den Menschen und der Gesellschaft gemacht?

1) Christian Thoelke - Kaufhalle (2020)
