Sundowner was a series of events that have been taken place in 2015/16, organized by artists Franziska Pierwoss, Rebecca Wilton and Nils Mollenhauer, graphic designer Timo Grimberg and curator Valentina Galossi. The closure of Mies van der Rohe’s famous architecture in Berlin due to renovation initiated the idea of using the spacious terrace around the building and inviting artists to realize a work for one evening, connected with the place, the building, the architecture, or their idea of modernism. Changing situations, such as the erection of a building fence, have been integrated into the concept of a site-specific artistic approach. A total of seventeen events have been taken place, with artists Andrea Winkler & Stefan Panhans, Albrecht Pischel, Claire Waffel, Wilhelm Klotzek, Arne Schmitt, a. o.
