style="font-kerning: none" class="">The glass pavilion
next to the Volksbühne is a small star, but its light
shines bright. It is the boat floating alongside the
theater tanker. Between its periods as a bookstore, a
ticket office, or standing empty, it was time and again
run as independent exhibition spaces. Beginning in March
2019 it receives one more new coat: from now on a fixed
venue of the Volksbühne named LVX and curated by Elodie
Evers, work by visual artists and collectives will be
exhibited regularly. As opposed to the monumentality of
its surroundings, the pavilion's transparent lightness
points to the historical open architecture typical of DDR
urban planning in the sixties. Thanks to its practically
see-through appearance, it is a public object per se,
intended primarily for passing pedestrians. It will be
launched by the Berlin-based art magazine Starship with a
look back to the future:</span></div>

Berlin-Mitte, Starship exists by now for more than twenty
years. In its first issue, it used six key phrases to
describe the environment in which it operated:
“experienced self-organization”; “halfway drafted life
models”; “passing economy”; “ exhibitable introspection”;
“ample contacts” and “art?”</span></div>

style="font-kerning: none" class="">Twenty years later,
Starship continues to produce the magazine, but also looks
back on a long life-span as an exhibition organizer,
publisher, and producer. Within the current editorial
board — which includes Gerry Bibby, Nikola Dietrich,
Martin Ebner, Ariane Müller, and Henrik Olesen — Ebner and
Müller had originally founded the magazine, together with
Hans-Christian Dany and Gunter Reski. For the exhibition
at the Volksbühne Pavilion, they have visualized Starship
and invited works by artists that have been in the memory
or storage of the magazine for varying lengths of time.
Seen in terms of theories of relativity, as material
objects, they are potential kinetic energy, and therefore,
together with their authors, they are the virtual
operating power of Starship, which has always also
consisted of publishing what it understood as the current
and new within its time. The magazine Starship has existed
in the near future for twenty years. In its exhibition at
LVX, it takes the form of a barn. This is not only because
the area around the Volksbühne is known as
“Scheunenviertel” (Barn District), but also because this
is the shape the Starship builders have developed for
their spacecraft as the most economical and suitable for
everyday life. In this form, Starship can function as a
‘magazine’ in its meaning as storage, but its parallel
function as a spaceship facilitates movements in various
time-relative relations. Either way, the barn and the
spaceship are a kind of shell for everything they
transport; its builders are the Volksbühne workshops.</span></div>

er einmal mehr ein neues Gewand: Als feste Spielstätte des
Hauses mit dem Namen LVX und kuratiert von Elodie

Künstler*innen und Kollektive aus. Im Gegensatz zur
monumentalen Umgebung deutet die transparente Leichtigkeit
des Pavillons historisch auf eine offene Architektur, die
für die DDR-Stadtplanung in den sechziger Jahren typisch
war. Dank seiner nahezu durchsichtigen Erscheinung ist er
ein öffentliches Objekt schlechthin, dessen Ausstellungen
vor allem den Passanten gewidmet sind. Den Auftakt macht die
Berliner Kunstzeitschrift Starship mit einem Blick zurück

Ebner und Ariane Müller neben Hans-Christian Dany und Gunter

und Künstler*innen mit Arbeiten eingeladen, die in

Zeitschrift existieren. Im Sinne der Relativitätstheorie
sind sie als materielle Objekte potenzielle Bewegungsenergie
und damit, gemeinsam mit ihren Autor*innen, der eigentliche
Antrieb von Starship, der immer auch darin bestand, zu
publizieren, was sie als für ihre Zeit das Aktuelle und Neue
verstanden hat.</span></div>

existiert seit zwanzig Jahren in der nahen Zukunft. Im
Rahmen der Ausstellung bei LVX hat sie die Gestalt einer
Scheune. Dies nicht nur, weil die Gegend rund um die
Volksbühne als Scheunenviertel bekannt ist, sondern auch,
weil dies die Form ist, die von den Starship
Konstrukteur*innen als die günstigste und alltagstauglichste
Raumschiffarchitektur entwickelt wurde. In dieser Gestalt
kann Starship als Speicher funktionieren, ermöglicht aber in
der parallelen Funktion als Raumschiff verschiedene
zeitrelative Bewegungen. In jedem Fall sind die Scheune und
das Raumschiff eine Art Hülle für alles, was sie
transportieren. Ihre Baumeister*innen sind die Werkstätten
der Volksbühne.</span></div>
