The Idea
It began with an unexpectedly explosive chainletter and ended with a group exhibition, selfcurated by the berlin art scene, in an unusual and fascinating space of the Markthalle IX Eisenbahnstraße, Berlin-Kreuzberg. 12 historical market stalls and 1000 square metres of space are available for the artistic projects. Our aim: to collaborate with a selected group of artists to transform the space. As an independent activity parallel to the art fairs ArtForum and ArtPreview Berlin, "SCHNELL & SCHMUTZIG" is a four day programme created to showcase multi-disciplinary art forms, designed to inspire both artists and viewers alike.
The Unexpected Email
Will you be selected as an exhibitor or a curator? The project began with an unexpected email sent out into the Berlin art scene. We wanted to learn how the scene understands and defines itself outside the system of galleries, collectors and art institutions. To try and crystalise the answer we asked each artist to forward the unexpected email to five other artists. At the end of the campaign those artists with the most recommendations were invited to form the curatorial team for SCHNELL & SCHMUTZIG. Within 10 days we received 2500 emails and from the recommendations following artists emerged as the curators of SCHNELL & SCHMUTZIG:
Anne Schwalbe, Moira Zoitl, Björn Hegardt, Lan Hungh

The old Market Hall IX
The Markhalle IX was built in 1890/1 to replace the weekly market in Lausitzer Platz, it was used daily for over 100 years in Kreuzberg. It is one of the very last original market halls with this unique architecture.
Through a local grass roots movement the future of the Markthalle is being reconsidered. At the beginning of this year the building was occupied for 2 days by local residents to push this issue into the political agenda. Half a year later the local movement has achieved an agreement with Berliner Grossmarkt GmbH to use this space for cultural initatives.
SCHNELL & SCHMUZIG is defined by freedom, passion, creativity, and action.
