A machine will land in the\u00a0Schl\u00fcter Courtyard. A UFO, a Robur bus, and a post-post-office for processing memories. Multimedia artist collective Chez Company will be prospecting for memories for the future. Humblodt Forum visitors are invited to join the prospectors in this playful installation: the nuggets are genuine, personal and collective memories of the\u00a0Palace of the Republic. Who celebrated in the palace and how, who worked there, sat in the audience of the \u2018Ein Kessel Buntes\u2019 TV shows, or deliberately refused to enter the building?<\/p>\n

We will ask questions, listen to the answers, and send the memories back to the Humboldt Forum\u2019s visitors. Short, serendipitous interviews and more in-depth conversations, together with documentary material both old and new, will all be combined into a live radio broadcast that visitors can listen to in the Schl\u00fcter Courtyard. Pick up a personalised postcard of the day, postmarked and franked with the date of your visit, from the UFO Post Office. The Robur\u2019s ticker will collect all the individual memories, turning them into a collective stream of scrolling text.<\/p>\n

Is there one truth \u2013 or many \u2013 about this site, which answers the \u2018how\u2019 of reunification, the question of what history we tell, what remains, and what manner of material, situational, musical and social reminders we need to facilitate recollection and work through for the future? Where exactly was this palace?<\/p>\n
