ReRouting to Wehrmuehle
Sunday 30th August, 14:00
Head out of Berlin to join us for a day in the countryside with artistic walks, a collective picnic, and to catch the last day of Sound Biesenthal at Wehrmuehle Museum. Come alone or with friends - this program is about creating an in-motion space for conversation, connection, and cultural exchange.
Our walking program includes a walk with Anna Maja Spiess who connects her practice and work in the exhibition to the neighboring nature, inviting us each to bring one sentence, from which she will create a sigil. We'll then be walked through the EXTREMADURA program by artistic director Galina Kolchina, who was this year's artist in residence at Wehrmuehle Museum.
Following this, we'll lay our blankets down for a collective picnic. During which, we will soft launch the new Walkingquestions x ReRouting tshirt collaboration. The project by Helena Ospina Lizarralde invites you to wear and walk with the question: should I walk away or walk forward?
This program is organized by ReRouting and coordinated by Clementine Butler-Gallie & Nisha Merit.
Sound Biesenthal is curated by Domenico Positano and Tjioe Meyer Hecken. See more on the exhibition and program here.
Please see below more details on the full program.
For any further questions or accessibility requirements, drop us an email: info@thereroutingproject.org
We’re excited to walk with you!

ABOUT THE ARTISTS & WALKS
Three gifts - two skills and one spell with Anna Maja Spiess
Anna Maja Spiess invites us on a little sojourn into the neighboring nature of Wehrmuehle. She will teach two skills, one useful and one whimsical. She will also create a sigil for each of us. Ponder one sentence, a mantra if you will that has deep meaning to you and bring that.
Her practice, since moving out to the Brandenburg wilderness nearly a decade ago, has been informed and infused by nature. She does her best thinking while sauntering; she will share with us a bit about her practice and the works exhibited at this year’s Sound Biesenthal at Wehrmuehle.
Bio: Anna Maja Spiess (*1986) studied sculpture in the class of professor Olaf Metzel at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany. She received her diploma with honors in 2013.
In her work she deals with forms and concepts of memory. The installations and partly performative artworks, which are related to the space, invite the viewer to engage with and identify with his or her past as well as with other pasts, which may at first seem temporally or geographically alien or distant. Infused with autobiographical elements, which are brought into constellation with historical artifacts, found objects and discourses, the viewer is thus directly involved in her conceptually as well as materially speaking works: their behavior, their reaction and their participation in the work become part of her art.
EXTREMADURA with artistic director Galina Kolchina.
Artists: Liam Gordon, Nady Mirian, Anatoly Shabalin K., DJ Juan
EXTREMADURA is the adjacent program taking place at Art Biesenthal on the day. Organized by Galina Kolchina in conclusion of her artist residency, we will hear about what's on and her time at the museum.
Bio: Galina Kolchina is an art director and visual artist. She works across film, photography, and spatial design, bringing sharp visual direction together with hands-on execution on site. Kolchina curates exhibitions and builds projects from first concept to final install, often shaping the atmosphere through light, image, and space, always aiming for the point where an idea becomes a real, felt experience. She works with brands, magazines, and galleries. Currently, she lives and works in Berlin.
Walking Questions by Helena Ospina Lizarralde
Walking Questions is a project that takes ideas on a journey through ready-to-wear questions. For this event, a new t-shirt collaboration with ReRouting is soft launched, inviting you to walk with the question: walk away or walk forward?

Bio: Helena Ospina Lizarralde is an interdisciplinary artist and writer (b. Colombia). Working across relational projects, installations, sculpture, writing, and the publication of artist books, she often begins with a question and constructs a situation around it. Questions appear in public space, generate conversations and archives, inhabit objects and publications, or become environments that invite participation. Through these gestures, questioning becomes both a method and a material.
