With Fabian Saul (author, composer, and musician, Berlin), Tanasgol Sabbagh (author and artist, Berlin), Franziska Aller (musician, Berlin), and Jonas Petry (musician and curator, Berlin and Leipzig)
Under the artist name SAUL, author and composer Fabian Saul creates musical works that resonate with his literary practice, such as his novel Die Trauer der Tangente (The Sorrow of the Tangent, Berlin: Matthes & Seitz, 2024). His work – both in his writing and as editor-in-chief of the acclaimed magazine Flaneur – is shaped by a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach, which he now brings to the stage of Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) with There, years after.

Together with spoken word artist and author Tanasgol Sabbagh (parallelgesellschaft), drummer Jonas Petry (Welten), and bassist Franzi Aller (Conic Rose), […]
Performance by Alex Baczyński-Jenkins
Alex Baczyński-Jenkins’ (*1987 in London) performance practice engages with desire, embodiment, and the affective charge between bodies. Through gesture and dance, his performances make the nuances of relationality tangible. The eight-minute, two-person performance Federico (2015) focuses on one of the simplest gestures of desire: the touch of two hands. Within the space formed between fingertips and palms of the hands, the performers alternate between intimate expressions and fleeting figures of abstract sensuous sociality. Each staging of the work emerges from close collaboration with the performers, shaped by the distinct dynamic of each duo. Baczyński-Jenkins’ work translates touch into a practice of haptic visuality that is as subtle as it is ephemeral.
Alex Baczyński-Jenkins is an artist and choreographer based in Berlin. Recent presentations of his work include: Gropius Bau, Berlin (2025); Kunsthalle Basel (Solo, 2019); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2019); Foksal Gallery Foundation Warsaw (Solo, 2018); Chisenhale Gallery, London (Solo, 2017). Baczyński-Jenkins is co-founder of […]
