super bien! Berlin (Justina Los)

The exhibition in the transparent greenhouse reflects the view inwards through works that “look” outwards and expand into the outside space. The space, normally a protective container for art, is used in a contradictory way by turning the glass walls into a membrane that connects inside and outside. Without a programmatic theme, 3 very different installations come together in the working process on site in an overall structure which marks the beginning of an encounter and mutual perception in friendship and presents the richness and diversity of artistic practice with our partner spaces.

After the kick-off in Berlin, an extended exchange will be shown 2025/2026 in the partner spaces in Mexico City and Los Angeles.

CROMA, Mexico City (Studio Croma collective - Santiago Gómez & friends)
For its collaboration with super bien! and Dorado 806, CROMA proposes a site-specific installation that engages in dialogue with the translucent architecture of super bien!: a thin plastic in the outside is being moved by a fan from the inside. Within the greenhouse, the opposite is also happening, a small fan is blowing in front of an 3d printed versión of the superbien! space. A game of tensions and scales reproduces the inside-outside dynamics of the space.   studiocroma   

Dorado 806, Los Angeles (Meghan DeRoma, Amelie Laurice)
Rock-bottom: A playful twist on words mixes with a touch of cheeky humor, blurring lines between serious art and playful wit. Each piece has been exposed to California’s weather and will continue to evolve throughout its tenure in Berlin. Rock-bottom stage invites reflection, from personal to societal levels, aiming to unite viewers in solidarity. Ultimately, it uplifts, aiming to liberate viewers from life's burdens.   dorado806

The work complex Deathinitely is a homage to a social and economic system that has long since ceased to function globally, in which the future belongs only to those who can afford it, while the unprivileged eat frozen pizza through the domination mechanisms of dependencies and burnouts. Death is deathinitely as certain as the fact that the gates to ecological and social decline have already begun to open.   superbienberlin
