Rythm of Rules and Irregularities

Colorful as the city’s movements, flamboyant as Berlin’s characters. From the showboxes of POP KUDAMM’s Creative Village, moving sculptures by contemporary South Korean artist VAKKI are transcending the Kurfuerstendamm.

With her colorful sculptures and video installations, VAKKI draws attention to energies and dynamics that arise when people and objects move in passing. These energies are transformed into geometric structures and together set in motion kinetically.

In doing so, VAKKI employs strong visual stimuli while simultaneously harkening back to the early 1980s through its visual identity. The resulting splashes of color are the basis of her work, which explores the cycle of being through various mediums and interprets them into kinetic works with graphics and movement.

POP KUDAMM is proud to present „Rhythm of Rules and Irregularities“ with works by VAKKI. Large-scale kinetic installations developed especially for POP KUDAMM will be on view beginning April 28.

About the Artist

VAKKI is a contemporary artist from South Korea. She currently lives and works in Seoul. She is working in a broad spectrum of visual arts focusing on videos, interactive media, space, three-dimensional installations and sound in her projects.
Her artworks have been shown in numerous national and international exhibitions including Amsterdam, Berlin, Thailand, and New York. She was introduced to the German audience with “Showcase in Berlin” – an exhibition presented at Platoon Kunsthalle Berlin.

Design meets function

Geberit presents itself with a pop-up showroom at POP KUDAMM, which focuses on the connection between function and design “Design meets Function”, which is reflected in the entire product world at Geberit. This connection is visualised by the Berlin artist Dave Großmann, who interprets the two worlds of Geberit – in front of and behind the wall – with a geometric abstract painting on an oversized canvas. In this unique setting, Geberit presents innovative products and solutions and makes them tangible for interested parties.

With a showroom almost 12 metres long at POP KUDAMM, Geberit invites visitors to discover modern ideas and solutions from Geberit. The centrepieces of the installation are the Geberit ONE bathroom series, which combines design and function, and the Geberit AquaClean shower toilets, which offer added hygiene and comfort thanks to gentle cleaning with water.

Combining design and function

The POP KUDAMM concept is the ideal setting for Geberit to draw attention to high-quality, forward-looking products and innovations. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover various shower toilets from Geberit. The company is also presenting the Geberit ONE bathroom series under the motto Design meets Function: the modular range offers a wide range of options for designing bathrooms that are aesthetically and functionally convincing. All components are perfectly coordinated and can be combined according to individual needs. One highlight is the mirror cabinets that match the bathroom range and feature the unique Geberit ComfortLight lighting concept, which creates the perfect mood in the bathroom at all times of the day. Four coordinated light sources integrated into the mirror cabinet can be controlled individually and continuously.

Dave Grossmann’s art brings multi-layered themes to life

In order to make the multi-layered theme world of Geberit tangible, the sanitary manufacturer from Pfullendorf invited artist Dave Großmann to interpret this world artistically. Dave Großmann studied design and was already interested in the material hidden beneath the visible surface during his studies. The connection to Geberit exists through the shared passion for design and for creative perspectives. This interest is also reflected in the oversized painting on a 2.5 by 5 metre canvas that he created for the Geberit showroom. In doing so, he plays with the interplay that all Geberit products stand for: They are always the result of a perfect balance of elegant design and outstanding functionality. In order to bring Geberit’s expertise in products in front of and behind the wall and their systemic connection to life, he opted for a concept in which the background and foreground are visually difficult to separate and interlock with each other. By bringing the background into the foreground again and again, and by using minimal means to create complexity, Dave Großmann’s installation emphasises the interplay of elements in front of and behind the wall – and how one cannot exist without the other.

Oliver Vogt presents his new 3D NFT collection ConstantVariable 2nd Generation.

Both projects operate in the transition zone between 3D digital NFT and physical objects, testing the emergence and production conditions of new phygital object realities. With the data linked in the NFT, the owners* can realize their own expression in different materials or use them as digital sculptures in the new metaverses. This expands the scope of digital art through additional applications.

Vogt probes the bridge between digital and physical object. His conceptual work „Common Wallet“ is a DAO, a decentralised autonomous organisation that uses the blockchain as a platform for interactions via a smart contract.

Guixé shows artifacts he designed and produced for a 21st century bar. In Weitenfeld Landaluce’s pop-up container, artistic practices that manifest the digital in the world of objects can be experienced in real life (IRL). Together with its artists*, Weitenfeld Landaluce gallery makes it a point to use the ecologically and socially responsible open source platform Cardano in blockchain technology and NFT production.

Your Barber in town

Your Barber in Town brings Afro-punk culture to Berlin’s City-West. Modern urban barbering as a pure event experience mixed with fashion, art and music from 6 July to 2 August at POP KUDAMM.

„The best barber in town.“ That’s what his customers and fans call him and that’s exactly how he named his shop: YOUR BARBER IN TOWN.

Emmanuel Lukoki, 30 years young, is a barber by passion. A passion that he has made his profession, and a true craft that is professional love for him. „Seeing the customer glow from the outside as well as the inside after a treatment does about the same to me as it does to him or her.“

His motto in the shop and in jobs is not the customer is king, but the customer is friend. After the first contact with the Magic Chair, as he calls his barber chair, the typical customer contact breaks. You becomes you, stranger becomes openness and communication.

He does not have a separate name for the profession as he practises it. He leaves this task to his customers. One simply calls him barber, the other therapist, marriage counsellor or stylist.

His clients include well-known influencers, actors, professional football players and ordinary schoolchildren and tourists. They are all treated equally, which is what makes his shop so special. A unique experience with music, rhythm and good vibes only. Or, as Emmanuel puts it, „a harmonious encounter between hair and man.“

It is precisely these vibes that Emmanuel Lukoki will be bringing to POP KUDAMM from July. A cultural spot that, in addition to the regular barber shop, will focus on fashion, art and music and, together with the Collective Freak de L’afrique, will turn your visit to the barber pop-up into an experience.
