Mies van der Rohe Haus

In the project series On and Off, the Mies van der Rohe Haus commissions new artistic works in collaboration with partner institutions and sites beyond its own exhibition spaces. On and Off aims to create conditions for artistic practice and thinking to engage with diverse spatial and social contexts.

Marking the 100th anniversary of the unveiling of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Revolution Monument, the Mies van der Rohe Haus presents Monument to a Monument to a Monument, a project by artist Nils Norman at Friedrichsfelde Central Cemetery. Monument to a Monument to a Monument takes as its starting point the absence left by the original memorial, which was destroyed by the National Socialists in 1935. The project asks what utopian visions and their ruptures might mean for contemporary social and political debates.

At the centre of Monument to a Monument to a Monument is a temporary, participatory architectural structure designed by Nils Norman, around which events, discussions, and encounters will take place over the course of a month. By thinking from the perspective of what is no longer there, the project understands itself as an attempt to make memory tangible as a living, collective process.
