DeathLab
Ein Bestattungsgespräch zu Kunst und Tod
Part of the project “Unacknowledged Loss”
- Dialogue
German /
“Finale Form” is the name of the new publication by DeathLab, sounding out the special relationship between death and art.
In the seven-part series of conversations, which took place between September and December 2016, different visual artists talked to people who deal professionally with death every day. In each case, the starting point of these encounters was an urn developed by the artists, which is used to shed light on the various facets of the culture of dying and burial. How can new forms of expression and etiquette be developed in the face of death, cremation and mourning?
On the occasion of the book presentation the initiators of the DeathLab, Lydia Hamann, Mirko Winkel and Karen Winzer, along with the undertaker Gabi Kohn, will conduct a counseling interview in preparation for a standard funeral. Jens Friebe will accompany the evening with music.

Latest information for arrival:
There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.
Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
