Picnic in Foret Noir


Inspired by Olaf Hajek’s illustration Foret Noir from his current exhibition at Direktorenhaus, the “Picnic in Foret Noir” starts with the opportunity to meet the artist himself who will be signing copies of his beautiful book “Flowerheads”, bring your copy or buy one on the night.

But of course the Foret Noir is no ordinary forest.
 
Bring snacks and join the Discursive Picnic with UNWETTER, the collective who have since 2002 mastered the art of picnicking everywhere from the Hamburger Bahnhof to Documenta11.
 
And what will you sit on? Join ACTION WEAVER Travis Meinolf, who will bring his prototype looms and teach you how to weave the very cloth for your very own picnic blanket. Meanwhile you can expect the forest to come to life around you with PLAYberlin’s interpretation of Hajek’s work. You can even become part of the forest yourself and have your photo taken in the Foret Noir Photo Booth.
 
We’d love to say more, but you’ll just have to come down to the Foret Noir for a big surprise...
 
This event is totally free, but bring your yarn to weave with, bring food for the picnic … and our bar will be open.
 
From 19.00 till 23.00
