JANNA SCHNEEWITTA REHBEIN: TEMPLE OF SORROW – WHAT WAS, WHAT IS, WHAT IS TO COME?
TEMPLES OF SORROW is a series of events dedicated to collective mourning. As the year draws to a close and in keeping with the winter solstice, we are hosting another evening to mark the occasion. This time, the event focuses on the end of the year and is less of a standalone space for mourning and more of a creative time to find closure for a year that is coming to an end—and perhaps, for some, a moment of respite for themselves before the holidays.

(AN)OTHER ORGY
"A festival of unrestrained debauchery," says the Duden, "a nocturnal Bacchanalian celebration; sacred ritual; mystical worship service; secret cult gathering at night," says the etymological dictionary; "debauchery, revelry, licentiousness; (formal) excess, intemperance," says the thesaurus; "collective acts that deliberately violate social norms," says the Wikipedia entry. An orgy! So steeped in legend, and yet so simply beautiful—or even quite crude. In any case, a vast array of nebulous notions swirl through our cultural unconscious about what an orgy might be.
