The first evening of the One Night Stand series took place at KW Institute for Contemporary Art last Thursday. The project space NOTE ON presented Crampographies, a combination of performance and video art which reflected the potential of the cramp as a collective-singular collapse from a feminist and post-identitarian perspective.
KW was more than crowded and after a while the entire audience was brought down to Sport Field Auguststrasse, where a performance by Shivydra (realized by the artist group Michel Vvolta) captivated us with their performance. They even managed to stop the ongoing football practice on the field next to the performance and curious football players assembled to see the rest of the show.

The Berlin Network of Independent Project Spaces and Initiatives is a loose organization of art spaces and art initiatives existing since August 2009. Its aim is to establish a long lasting structure in order to allow new ways of cooperation and exchange, to articulate political statements and to argue for an improvement of their basic working conditions.
