Dora Budor Group exhibition What’s going on? Mies van der Rohe Haus, Berlin, DE 29 March — 26 July 2026

Opening 28 March, 4 — 9pm

Over decades altered and worn down, Haus Lemke only became the architectural landmark known today through its restoration in accordance with monument preservation standards between 2000 and 2002. In the course of this work, all traces of previous uses and inhabitants were removed. In its current form, Haus Lemke is, to a certain degree, a fiction, painstakingly reconstructed on the basis of archival material and restored with contemporary means as faithfully as possible. Soon approaching its 100th anniversary, the building exists in a seemingly time suspended state that continually seeks an ideal condition. With the exhibition What’s going on? the institution initiates a reflective engagement with the logic of the monument. By working with found objects, dissolving the boundaries between intention and chance as carriers of time, and opening up branching narratives through personal stories, the exhibition asks how remembering might function.

With Clara Hausmann, Samuel Jeffery, Tam Ochiai, Oliver Tirré, Melvin Way, Constantina Zavitsanos
