The silence of Marcel Duchamp (silence) in Neukölln is unmistakable (noise). or. “The sick art of the 21st century is not waiting in vain for healing through Joseph Beuys.”

Performance
The Beuysian and Berlin cultural worker Artist Créateur WG Grimbs sits in a brightly lit shop window (Location POINT / corner of Marx-Straße 131-133 / Passage Neukölln) during the 2024 festival period, where he is clearly visible to passers-by and is still waiting more or less in vain for the healing by Joseph Beuys.
Relation
Intensified in a world that is out of control, many people around the world are waiting for healing from war and environmental disasters and for the healing or alleviation of their current personal visible and invisible wounds. The Berlin cultural worker Grimbs is not alone in his desire for healing. The hope for healing or relief is not entirely in vain.
The silence of Artsten Grimb sitting in the shop window clashes, separated from urban soundscapes, created by the street noise of cars driving by and people walking past. The passers-by are attracted for a few seconds or minutes by the conspicuously dressed artist Grimbs sitting in the window, only to remain there for a short time, irritated, speechless, silently. A short period of urban calm before moving on again, talking and noisily.
