The Palast der Republik<br />

is back: The temporary<br />

Kunsthalle<br />

on the <strong>Berlin</strong>er<br />

Schloßplatz received<br />

a photo skin with an<br />

image of the palace in<br />

black & white –<br />

“Echo” is the title of<br />

this installation with<br />

an alienation defamiliarziation<br />

effect by<br />

the artist Bettina Pousttchi.<br />

Note the<br />

clock which replaces<br />

the GDR emblem.<br />

The Palast der Republik<br />

is gone (note<br />

the remaining foundations<br />

on the<br />

left); instead we now<br />

not only have a new<br />

lawn to hang out on<br />

but also a new Wall<br />

to prevent us from<br />

falling into the<br />

Spree. When exactly<br />

the facade of the<br />

<strong>Berlin</strong>er Stadtschloß<br />

for the planned Humboldt-Forum<br />

will be<br />

rebuilt is unclear. By<br />

the way, the <strong>Berlin</strong>er<br />

Fernsehturm turns<br />

40 this year!
