Mies Goes Future | Udo Kittelmann

For Mies Goes Future, Udo Kittelmann spoke about his work in iconic museum buildings, his strong commitment to the renovation of Mies van der Rohe's Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, and the need for a new Museum of 20th Century at the Kulturforum. He explained his support for the winning design by the Swiss architectural duo Herzog & de Meuron, which he believes will ideally complement the architectural ensemble at the Kulturforum. Kittelmann also welcomes the idea of a new building for House Lemke to give the former private building more significance for the future. He furthermore expressed the wish for a more active cooperation between the Neue Nationalgalerie and House Lemke.

This conversation is part of the ongoing film- and exhibition project Mies Goes Future inviting artists, architects, art and architecture historians to explore the possibilities of how the future of the Mies van der Rohe House as an institution can be shaped. In different formats, such as interviews, monologues, sketches, photographs or drawings, the connection to the work of the architect Mies van der Rohe as a source of inspiration will be expressed clearly. The contributions are presented in the Mies van der Rohe House, on the website and on the YouTube channel of the house.

The film- and exhibition project is curated by Esenija Bannan
