U3 - BERLIN 2002




















U3 POTSDAMER PLATZ 2002 BERLIN
ART EXHIBITION DESIGN and ONE-TIME EVENT - 5.000 SQM
Artists Bär + Knell and various international artists in cooperation with DKR Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kunststoff-Recycling mbH
The DKR and other sponsors commissioned an exhibition to enhance awareness to plastic recycling through art, design and information. MAR Exhibition and MAR Architects were appointed for overall design coordination, including all technical, logistics and construction aspects, while Bär + Knell, together with other internationally renowned artists and designers were invited to stage this exhibition.
The venue, the yet to be completed U-Bahn Station for the U3 under the bustling Potsdamer Platz, had a combined area of about 5.000 sqm. Through consentual and integrative detailed planing, the unassuming bare-faced concrete underground venue was transformed by applied materials, sound and light into a multi-sensual dynamic space for presentation of the artist's works.
The six weeks of the exhibition in the heart of Berlin proved to be yet another contribution to the livelyness and innovative forces in the new capital of Germany.
