//// BERLIN OPEN YOUR WINDOWS ___________ by Anthony Marcellini "The moment finally arrives...Oh, come, don't be late."* Berlin, Open Your Windows is a project using open apartment windows as platforms for a series of temporary public declarations. From these windows a trained opera singer will project sung declarations in German regarding the city of Berlin to the passersby below. These declarations are being presented from apartments in several distinct neighborhoods throughout Berlin: Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Mitte and Prenzlauerberg. The content of each declaration is based on details specific to each neighborhood; drawn from interviews with tenants, news stories, historical and literary references, and the artist's own personal impressions and reflections on this city. Each performance will begin exactly at the stated time. It will last no longer than 5 minutes. Each performance will only be presented once. SCHEDULE Thursday, February 25th: Kreuzberg Address: Lausitzer Straße 12, 10999 Performance: 16:00 Friday, February 26th: Friedrichshain Address: Weserstraße 25, 10247 Performance: 18:30 Friday, February 26th: Mitte Address: Linienstraße 131, 10115 Performance: 24:00 Saturday, February 27th: Prenzlauerberg Address: Kastanienallee 73, 10435 Performance: 15:00 Berlin Open Your Windows has been made possible through a residency at Sparwasser HQ.
