Berlin \u2013 Ci<\/em>ty of Relevance<\/em> commemorates the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Quadripartite Agreement on Berlin on September 3, 1971. Curated by British artist Rick Buckley, the special exhibition explores new ways of displaying and interpreting historical objects. The Allied Museum holds three of the conference tables used in the negotiations. At the museum\u2019s invitation, Buckley made them the subject of his work. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

With a cinematic recreation, Berlin-based Buckley reconstructed the historical setting at the site of the original negotiations \u2013 the building that once housed the Allied Control Council, and is now a courthouse. The resulting video, \u201cThe Ambassador\u201d is the centerpiece of the exhibition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Since the end of the war in 1945, the former German capital had been under the joint administration of the four occupation powers, making it an ever-present bone of contention in the conflict between East and West. East Berlin had long since been integrated into East Germany, making it firmly part of the Soviet empire, while the situation in Berlin\u2019s Western sectors had become increasingly precarious. An exclave entirely surrounded by East Germany, West Berlin was a part of West Germany, but the Bonn government had only very limited jurisdiction over it. So West Berlin\u2019s status was relegated to a kind of limbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The negotiations that led to the Quadripartite, or Four Power Agreement, came in the wake of a relaxation of East-West tensions in Europe and in the global power struggle. The status of Berlin under four-power control remained unchanged, but the administration of the city became more stable with the USSR\u2019s commitment to refrain from further changes that would benefit East Berlin. The Four Power Agreement included policies to facilitate smoother transit to and from West Berlin through East Germany, made it easier for West Berliners to cross back and forth into East Germany, and stabilized relations between West Berlin and West Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the wake of the Agreement, a certain degree of normalcy settled on geographically and politically isolated West Berlin. However, the situation remained \u201cabnormal\u201d enough to help shape the myths that surrounded the \u201cisland\u201d of West Berlin in the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

A central motif of Buckley\u2019s work is exploring the uncertain and often indistinct boundaries between truth and myth, reality and fiction. He builds on the tradition of using artistic media \u2013 be it sculpture, photography, installation art, video\/film, or books \u2013 to perpetuate and re-invent (hi)stories.<\/p>\n<\/div>
