Matinée at the Ceramics Museum Berlin
in memory of the ceramist Mrs. Christiane Grosz (1944-2021)

Sunday, May 1, 2022, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

For pandemic reasons, we decided not to hold a vernissage at the beginning of February, at the start of the exhibition of vessels and objects
by the Berlin-based ceramist Christiane Grosz that has been on display at the KMB since then.

With our matinée on May 1, we would like to commemorate the multifaceted work of Christiane Grosz, who, in addition to her ceramics, has also made a name for herself as a poet, writer and graphic artist.

Supporting program:

Piano:
Ms. chamber musician Tetyana Yefimova from Kharkiv/Ukraine will play works by F. Chopin, J. S. Bach, L. v. Beethoven and W. A. Mozart
(11:00 a.m.; 11:30 a.m.; 12:15 p.m.; 12:45 p.m.)

Reading:
The actress and speaker Ms. Charlotte Schön reads texts by Christiane Grosz. (11:15 a.m.; 12:00 p.m.; 12:30 p.m.)

Ceremony:
The Chado ceramist Mr. Thomas Riedinger completes a Japanese Kencha tea ceremony "for the souls of the departed" at 11:45 a.m.

Video work by Ms. Christine Berndt on Christiane Grosz with original sound recordings by the artist from 1983.

Admission is free, but on this day, on the occasion of the never-ending need of war refugees and in Ukraine, we ask for monetary donations to support the Ukraine-Hilfe Berlin recommended by the Berlin Senate.
