<font size="-1">Dear friends, liebe Freunde,<br>
<br>
due to unforeseeable time conditions, we had to <font
color="#cc0000">cancel </font>our scheduled event "The
Near Future. An evening with Starship and guests" at
Grüner Salon der Volksbühne on Saturday, May 18.<br>
We very much apologize for the inconvenience! Anyway, we
will hang around the entrance door for catching those who
do not receive this information in time.<br>
<br>
The good news is, the exhibition has been <font
color="#00cccc">extended </font>for 5 weeks, and will
last until June 16, which is just fantastic.<br>
Thank you to the whole Volksbühne team, all the artists
and contributors for making this possible.<br>

Duration of the exhibition: 16.03. – 16.06.19<br>
Thursday-Sunday, 2pm-8pm<br>
<br>
An installation by Ariane Müller and Martin Ebner
(Starship)<br>

Olesen, Gunter Reski, Nina Rhode, Nora Schultz, Till

The art magazine Starship was founded in 1998 in
Berlin-Mitte and 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?”<br>
<br>
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 everydaylife. 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.<br>

Die Berliner Kunstzeitschrift Starship wurde 1998 gegründet
und existiert nunmehr seit über zwanzig Jahren. In ihrer
ersten Ausgabe beschrieb sie das Umfeld, in dem sie sich
bewegte mit sechs Schlagwörtern: Routinierte
Selbstorganisation — halb entworfene Lebensmodelle —
vorbeieilende Ökonomie — ausstellbare Selbstbeobachtung —
weltläufige Kontakte — Kunst ?<br>
<br>
Zwanzig Jahre später produziert Starship weiterhin
Magazin-Ausgaben, blickt aber auch auf eine lange Tätigkeit
als Ausstellungsorganisatorin, Verlegerin und Produzentin
zurück. Aus der Gruppe der heutigen Herausgeber*innen Gerry
Bibby, Nikola Dietrich, Martin Ebner, Ariane Müller und
Henrik Olesen waren Martin Ebner und Ariane Müller neben
Hans-Christian Dany und Gunter Reski schon an der Gründung
der Zeitschrift beteiligt. Für den Pavillon der Volksbühne
haben sie Starship visualisiert und Künstler*innen mit
Arbeiten eingeladen, die in unterschiedlicher Dauer im
Gedächtnis oder Speicher der 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.<br>
<br>
Die Zeitschrift Starship existiert seit zwanzig Jahren in
der nahen Zukunft. Im Rahmen der Ausstellung am Pavillon der
Volksbühne 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 zeit-relative
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.<br>
