New permanent light installation by Mischa Kuball at Radialsystem
Friday, 2025/7/25, 7 pm | Radialsystem, Berlin /DE
With a site-specific light installation by Mischa Kuball, the Radialsystem will be permanently visible from afar for the first time from summer 2025.
The LED lettering r a d i a l system shines as a kinetic work of light art and marks a new artistic and architectural point of reference on the façade of the building. The work, which will be officially inaugurated and illuminated for the first time on July 25, is somewhere between “art in architecture” and a sensory experience in public space.
For almost twenty years, the Radialsystem - a former pumping station directly on the banks of the Spree that was put into operation at the end of the 19th century - has combined transformation and continuity as a cultural venue in dialog with international and local artists, ensembles and audiences. In the spirit of Mischa Kuball's artistic practice, in which light serves as a medium for social discourse and aesthetic intervention, the installation also sees itself as a visual practice of communication - open, in motion and in relation to one another.
