The exhibition Transitional Societies, initiated by NON in 2015, accesses the discourse about Transitional Justice, and transferres it with freely associated aesthetic, but politically motivated positions into a wider social context.
Georg Klein shows his interactive installation Na Na in the entrance area. Two opposing satellite dishes acoustically create the word ICH (I / ME), and its Korean equivalent NA, and abstracting it beyond recognition.
In his art work NEAR EAST SIDE GALLERY Sven Kalden transfers graffiti and paintings of the Berlin Wall onto concrete models of the Israeli boundary walls, which are built in the West Bank since 2002.
The Argentine artist Mario Asef broaches the issue of the abduction and murder of 43 Mexican students in 2014, and the grotesque public response to this atrocity, with his large-format photographic work: Acción Día de Muertos.
Joachim Seinfeld shows a cycle from his photo performance series: When Germans Are Having Fun – Dokufiction. He offers an ironic reflection on the bourgeois, christian, right-winged, and also the leftist anti-Semitism in Germany.
Eventually, Bernhard Draz presents with Transitional Justice – Terminology, the words freedom – arbitrariness – justice – control, in white neon letters against a gray background, togehther with its korean pendants as steel letters.
Transitional Societies is a cooperation project of NON Berlin – Asian Contemporary Art Platform and MEINBLAU projektraum, initiated by Anne Hölck, Chan Sook Choi and Ido Shin.

RACHEL LIBESKIND – LITTLE THEATRE PERFORMANCE
We are proud of
just having participated with a performance piece at the monthly series LITTLE THEATRE in NY.
The Creator’s Project published a beautiful article on their performance and featured an interview with Rachel. In “Funny While Female: Four Artists on Gender, Humor, and Performance” they state that usually LITTLE THEATRE is known for bringing new and unexpected voices to the stage, but this time the strangely distant worlds of art and theater intersected with a live show featuring four female artists who find identity between the lines of art, performance, and comedy.

RACHEL LIBESKIND in NEW YORK TIMES
RACHEL LIBESKIND
We are very happy to see Rachel was interviewed by NEW YORK TIMES!!
“Rachel Libeskind: A Performance Artist Blossoms”
emphasizing her great performance skills and strategies
“There is something to be said for the female ability to push boundaries in what media is and what mediums are. Historically, paintings are a very male thing. I think in some ways, either consciously or unconsciously, I’m responding to that.”
