Last Saturday KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art opened its doors with a site-specific exhibition by Roman Signer. The Swiss artist brought his installation ‘Kitfox Experimental’ to the Boiler House of the former brewery complex in Neukölln. It features a plane hung under the almost 20-meter high ceiling of this new art space that is still under development and that will offer three levels – housing exhibitions, a café and a bookstore.

“An airplane hangs about four meters above the ground with its nose pointing downward – a lightweight aircraft. Then there are powerful fans on the walls that cause the plane to move, since it is hanging from a joint that can be turned very easily. And so the wind is supposed to cause the airplane to turn, as if it were spinning in a nosedive as it plummeted downward.” – Roman Signer
