Passing: Re II
Martina Jurak + Stefanie Loveday

Performance at Motto Berlin
20.09.2025, 8pm

Re II is the next part of an audio-dance performative cycle titled Passing, created by Martina Jurak, that discloses urban developments through exploration of enormous construction sites which expand across Berlin.
The piece will present a sound collaboration with Stefanie Loveday that focuses on newly built parts of the controversial A100 highway. Both artists find the newly opened 16th and the planned 17th construction phase problematic from an ecological, political, and economic perspective, and have used it to gather their multi-formed creative material.
Urban research will be shown as performative installation with found objects, butoh inspired movement, and electro-acoustic sound, to question the processes of the ongoing spatial changes.

Come join our re-constructed space on Saturday, 20.09.2025 at 20:00 at Motto Berlin

@ Motto Berlin
August 21, 8pm (sharp)

Silas Morrow is a sculptor, improviser, and noise artist from Seattle, Washington. Through a contemplative sculptural and sound practice he explores the memory of his grandmother’s spiritual devotion as well as his great aunt’s monastic home on the coast of Northern California. He makes use of found and gifted objects along with hand crafted wind instruments. Silas encourages items to interact through electronic amplification. 

His great aunt utilized labyrinths in her spiritual practice and constructed one in her yard which Silas would be directed to walk through when visiting.
