Sandbox is an oft-used term in computer programming that refers to an experimental test-ground, an open space in which new rules are creatively made and played out.
Using this idea as impetus, the galleries and art spaces of the newly founded LA54 Association at the former Patzenhofer brewery will be presenting an interactive, multi-disciplinary happening.
The event will be in the spirit of action art and will provide the public with the opportunity to engage and take part in artistic activities.
Over the course of the day, residents of the neighborhood as well as passers-by will be welcome to join in for a full schedule of participatory art programs. Screenings, art interventons, guided tours and soundscapes will be seen and heard throughout the building's studios, galleries, art spaces as well as the courtyard and corridors. To round off the day, there will be an art auction with pieces by the artists of LA54 and an after-party with a diverse musical line-up.

18 x 24 FUNDRAISING EXHIBITION
July 10, 2010: Doors open 12 pm, festive opening reception from 7 pm.
Duration: 14 - 31 July, 2010. Wednesday-Sunday, 2-6 pm.
Kunstraum Richard Sorge is proud to present 18 x 24: a fundraising exhibition fully benefiting art association LA54 Berlin.
Only limited by the 18 x 24 cm size, a large group of international Berlin-based artists generously contributed small works to this exhibition project that will amount to an kaleidoscopic token of the city's artistic exuberance and wealth of artsic positions.
Within its prosaic restraints, 18 x 24 comprises an inspiring array of traditional, conceptual, ephemeral and poetic positions.
The beneficiaries of the fundraiser exhibition, art association LA54 Berlin, organize an ambitious range of exhibitions and art events. The goals of this multicultural artistic community (consisting of artists, musicians and curators) are international artistic cooperation, maintaining affordable spaces for art, and propagating Berlin's underground spirit against the ruins of the "Creative Cities" ideology.
Artists graciously taking part in 18 x 24 include
Nico Heimann, Caylin Rose Janet, Roos Versteeg, Cécile Coiffard, Art-Erhaltung, Mehrmagda,
J.Jackie Baier, Willi Tomes, Astrid Küver, Bernard Föll, Petra von Schmude, Daniele Bordoni,
Renzo Marasca, Marco Giani, Elena Belantoni, Nick Dewar, Serena Vestrucci,
John Power, Hendrik Voerkel, Risako Yamamoto and many more.
The 18 x 24 exhibition opening on July 10th is part of the Sandbox festival which will turn the surroundings of Kunstraum Richard Sorge into a participatory art playground.
German version:
Der Begriff Sandbox steht im Programmiererjargon für ein routinemäßig aufzusuchendes Testfeld. Einem Freiraum, in dem nach eigenen Regeln experimentiert, kreativ gearbeitet und gespielt werden kann.
In diesem Sinne präsentiert die internationale Künstlervereinigung LA54 der ehemaligen Patzenhofer Brauerei in Kollaboration mit den ansässigen Galerien und Kunsträumen ein aktionistisches, interaktives, multidisziplinäres Happening. Der Strömung der Aktionskunst folgend, bietet diese Veranstaltung dem Publikum die Möglichkeit durch aktive Teilnahme die künstlerische Rahmenhandlung zu lenken und aktiv mitzugestalten.
Über den Tag verteilt werden in den Ateliers, Galerien, Kunsträumen, Fluren sowie im Hof des Geländes Workshops für Kinder und Erwachsene, Performances, Installationen, Screenings, Soundscapes, partizipatorische Kunstaktionen und Führungen veranstaltet, die Kunstinteressierte, Anwohner und Flaneure zum experimentieren und entdecken einladen.
Der Tag wird abgerundet durch eine Kunstauktion der teilnehmenden KünstlerInnen der LA54 und eine After Party mit Acts unterschiedlicher Genres.
