MoA Members Exhibit at Dragoner.03 in Berlin-Kreuzberg

The third and final (for now) edition of Dragoner.03 – Super Contemporary Arts Fest marks the last cultural activation of the historic ADLERhalle before its closure—set against the backdrop of mounting pressure on independent cultural infrastructures in Berlin.

Curated by MoA member Babette Werner, together with Yasmin Alt, Luis Bortt, and Jan Herdlicka, the exhibition once again transforms the Dragonerareal into a temporary, immersive resonance space. Over 30 artistic positions—spanning installation, sculpture, painting, film, and performance—explore aesthetic, ecological, and social entanglements.

An environment of situational and relational negotiation, shaped by three years of artistic practice on site, will activate the ADLERhalle one final time—as a condensed resonance space of shared making. Dragoner.03 reveals what is at stake: the preservation of spaces where art is not only shown, but conceived, produced, and shared as relational practice—site-specific, networked, resilient, and never to be taken for granted.

The exhibition imagines the city as a living laboratory—where matter and memory, bodies and atmospheres coalesce. In collaboration with ZusammenStelle e.V., a fleeting constellation takes shape, interweaving artistic practice and collective urban futures.
Before the ADLERhalle falls silent, it will open one final time—for presence, resonance, and the vital question of how we continue to hold space for one another in this city.

Among this year’s featured artists are Cluster members Elaine Bonavia, Rahel Kesselring, and Maxie Schneider:

Elaine Bonavia & Lucas Macabéo explore the intersection of digital and analog craft in Expanded Glitch (2024), combining VR, 3D scanning, and traditional blacksmithing into a sculptural language of hybrid materiality. In LIMBS (2025), Bonavia continues this dialogue—translating spatial gestures into jacquard-woven textiles. Her work traces a poetic choreography between hand, code, and memory.

Rahel Kesselring & Başak Günak contribute a collaborative work that interweaves sound, memory, and ecological sensing.

Maxie Schneider, as part of the POPTICUM collective, presents an interactive inflatable installation that invites collective participation and spatial play. POPTICUM creates accessible, mobile structures that transform public space into connective, discursive environments—questioning curatorial practice and the role of designers as place-makers.

Through these and other contributions, Dragoner.03 reflects on urban space not as a static backdrop, but as a negotiable, processual field—shaped through conflict, care, and collective imagination.
