Every room starts with a door. And every door asks the question: Who is allowed in, wo stays outside, who has got the key – and who sits in it?

parallelgesellschaft × Galerie Nord opens a room in Moabit. Not as a window display but as a set up for an experiment: for art, community and contradiction.

This evening is a first key in the lock. A meeting. A shared meal. A foreword and a first step towards a program which will unfold throughout the year: a procedural exhibition about freedom and prison, law and punishment, and about what gets locked up and what stays outside. Between table talk and text fragment, neighbourhood and contemplation, between gallery and court of law, we want to talk about the things that are getting locked up. And about the things that still manage to find their way outside.

Come along, eat with us, raise a glass, take a seat – and take notice.
