Alicja Rogalska, Actions That Cannot Happen

Actions That Cannot Happen is the mediation program accompanying the exhibition Shifting Perspectives: If the Berlin Wind Blows My Flag, realized by artist Alicja Rogalska, a recent fellow of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program. The workshops’s title is borrowed from Milan Knížák and can refer both to the political and social conditions of possibility across different times, and to more speculative approaches. 

Through a series of printmaking workshops, artist Alicja Rogalska, together with members of the public, will actively engage with themes and motifs from the artworks and archival material presented in the exhibition. Referencing conceptual art of the 1970s, concrete poetry, and Mail Art, as well as official documents and graffiti, Actions that cannot happen invites audience members to literally and metaphorically put their own stamp on the issues raised by fellows from the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, such as migration, gentrification, ecology, and internationalism, and to reflect on their contemporary relevance.
