MASA BERLIN is initiated and organized by Isabel Schmiga and Sandra Teitge.
HALEH REDJAIAN’S (*1971 in Frankfurt/M) visual research explores the creation of variable patterns and organizational systems derived from primary forms such as lines, triangles and grids. Both patterns and systems are highly pliable and are developed directly from objects and architectural fragments found inthe artist’s immediate surroundings. This fluency allows for the creation of a new visual space that is notfixed but has the capacity to manifest and regenerate itself in different ways. The work for MASA BERLIN, MERSIN, was inspired by a Turkish woven cloth pattern Redjaian came across in a book on textiles of the Islamic world. MASA BERLIN installed in the cafeteria of the Betahaus, a workspace for creative freelancers, opens up a dialogue between the MASA BERLIN Project and the simultaneously occurring International Design Festival DMY.
