The term ‘public sphere’ is a central reference point for political art, which seems to contain several phantasmatic conceptions at once. It posits a framework that allows its protagonists to overcome the limiting structures of bourgeois institutions. And it promises a form of political effectiveness that stands in diametric opposition to the contemplative reception of aesthetic experience. The sixth episode of the discussion series “Phantasm and Politics” deals with conceptions and experiences of the “public sphere” as they currently appear in political, artistic and theoretical practices.

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.
