Rise&Fall Art and DJ Exhibition Commemorating the Fall of the Berlin Wall November 5, 2009

Rise&Fall (http://www.rise-fall.com) is a revolutionary art and music event series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. This mobile art installation and electronic music event features artwork displayed on digital frames interpreting the theme ‘breaking down barriers’ collected through a public call for submissions and will include music performed by renowned Turkish-German-Queer and Muslim DJ/Producer, DJ Ipek Ipekcioglu (http://www.djipek.com). Her performances are the embodiment of contemporary Germany (post-Wall), smashing musical, cultural and social barriers through an eclectic mix of Middle Eastern sounds and Berlin Electro, drawing on minority subcultures and pop culture in Germany.

Additionally, international bilingual art magazine COOL (http://www.cool-ny.com) will present a live painting performance called "Rise&Fall" by Japanese street artist PESU (http://www.pesuart.com) in which he interprets the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Rise&Fall is sponsored by The Embassy of the Republic of Germany Washington, DC and Kodak.
