The Berlin Oracle
The Berlin Oracle – an urban art venture in the historically
significant Mehringplatz Square at the beginning of the Friedrichstraße.
The initiator of the project, Bonger Voges, has developed a concept
for a Gesamtkunstwerk (comprehensive artistic work), based on the
history, the social and the urban conditions of the Square.
This accessible inner city artistic
experience stimulates inspiration and a sense of joie de vivre.
An oasis for lingering and reflecting in the turbulence of the capital
city.
A twelve metre high gate sculpture
by Niki de Saint Phalle will lead the visitor to the circular shaped
Square which will be surrounded by coloured plaques.
Asiatic wisdom as well as the life
philosophies of international personalities inspire tolerance, understanding
and personal vision.
The idea behind all this is to encourage people to communicate and
to develop new life perspectives and to let themselves be influenced
by wisdom.
The opening is planned for the end
of 2004, marking the expansion of the European Union. In the accompanying
exhibition one can already acquaint oneself with The Berlin Oracle.

The Berlin Oracle
Ask yourself a question that cannot
be answered with a simple Yes or No.
Make your way to the colour that attracts you most at that moment
2,500 years of ancient wisdom will answer your questions.
This is the call that will in future
meet the visitor in various languages at the entrance area of the
Mehringplatz Square.
There, at the beginning of the hectic
Friedrichsstraße Street The Berlin Oracle will come into exsistence.
An architectural game that inspires one to linger, relax and reflect.
An accessible, comprehensive artistic work.(Gesamtkunstwerk) An
oasis of time in the turbulence of the capital city.
Ideas of tolerance and peace are conveyed
in a playful way by The Berlin Oracle. An interest for other cultures
will be awakened and different life perspectives will be recognised.
Formerly known as The Belle-Alliance
Platz, The Mehringplatz used to be in the same prestigous league
as the Pariser Platz at the Brandenburg Gate aand the Leipziger/Potsdamer
Paltz as little as sixty years ago. It used to be one of the most
lively and beautiful Squares in Berlin before its destruction during
the Second World War. The proximity of the Berlin Wall was however
responsible for the Square’s loss in significance. Now, since
the fall of the Wall it has begun to grow in importance again.
The initiator of the venture, Bonger
Voges, has developed a concept for a comprehensive artistic work,
based on the history and the social and urban conditions of the
Square.
A monumental gate sculpture by the artistic Niki de Saint Phalle
will symbolically depict the historical South gate to Berlin.
Installed on the roofs around the
buildings that encircle the Square are huge metal flags that follow
the order of the colour spectrum. The colours reflect the many-sidedness
of all cultures and their peoples, thus symbolising the harmonious
whole that exists from many smaller parts. It serves the additional
function of representing the sixty-four hexagramms of the I Ching.
The colour chosen by the visitor will
lead him to a plaque on the ground, designed by the artist Helge
Leiberg. On this plaque he will find inspiration from the I Ching,
a 2,500 year old book of Asian wisdom, and the oldest text on the
art of communication.
Heading to the installation through
the pedetrian zone of Friedrichstrasse the visitor will find life
philosophies of European personalities such as Vaclav Havel, Nils
Bohr or Ingeborg Bachmann - people who represent human value and
the realisation of a vision. They stimulate tolerance, understanding
and self-vision. What lies beneath all this is an encouragement
to communicate, develop new life perspectives and be influenced
by human values.
The opening is planned for the end
of 2004, marking the expansion of the European Union.
More detailed information about the
art venture is available at the exhibition:

3. Slowing Down (Entschleunigung)
The Berlin Oracle will become a timeless
island in the hectic city – a window of time for the creation
of visions.
The life we lead is a fast one. Time
flies and people race from one appointment to the next, especially
in the city. Stress eats into any free time and personal needs must
be cut to shape and made to fit in with our schedules.
This hectic pace is also prevalent
in the Friedrichstadt area of Berlin. Publishing houses, government
ministries, warehouses and company headquarters, embassies, galleries
and restaurants all extend endlessly side by side. In the middle
of it, cars and buses pile up. Bicycle couriers whiz about and every
minute of the day the entrances of the Underground spit out relentless
masses of people.
It is precisely in these kinds of places that a subconscious need
for peace and relaxation is tangible. One longs for the opportunity
to reflect upon “the important things in life”. Upon
human closeness, self-realisation and balance, renewal and inspiration.
“Slowing down” seems to
be the phrase on everyone’s lips these days. One searches
for places where time is suspended, places that allow space for
thoughts and feeling, facilitating a return to simplicity. Places
where one can leave feeling invigorated.
Night lounges have grown out of this
need, areas where one can read Sven Nadolny’s The Discovery
of Slowness whilst nestling on a snug sofa. Easy listening music
with soft tones, half beats and a saxophone accompaniment provides
the perfect soundtrack of leisure to the metropolis.
Where however, can one encounter the
need for “slowing down” in the public domain?
The Berlin Oracle will become a public
site of contemplation and inspiration in the heart of Berlin. A
site where one can bathe in slow motion, removed from the hectic
of the roller coaster city for a few moments, to leave again strong
and smiling.
The Berlin Oracle at the Mehringplatz
Square offers a platform for self-awareness, for concentration on
the essentials; that is, the reflection of oneself. The Chinese
wisdom of the I Ching and the hotpot of international life philosophies
here broaden one’s horizons, ideas and visions. Quotations
from those who have realised a vision of their own will lend encouragement
to those pursuing a vision or inspire those to find their own private
vision.

4 The Mehringplatz Square
The urban art venture will come into
existence at the beginning of the busy Friedrichstrasse, the Mehringplatz
Square. The vision to create a site of communication, wisdom and
peace will be realised here. This will occur in a historically important
centre of Berlin that has however seriously neglected since the
Second World War.
The Mehringplatz is a square that
gives the impression of being closed off to the rest of the world
and existing entirely within itself. It is only a few steps off
the beaten track into this inner-city oasis, a time bubble within
the hubbub of the metropolis. Retreating back for once, leaving
the world behind the square, one lets oneself be instinctively drawn
towards a piece of wisdom. Leaving the main stream in order to make
time for a detour for oneself. Time for a few moments of private
contemplation and reflection, which can lead to a truly meaningful
conclusion. These steps make up the path to The Berlin Oracle.
Once known as the Belle Alliance Square,
the Mehringplatz Square as it stands today has lost much of its
original appeal. Sixty y ears ago however, it would have been in
the same league as the Pariser Platz at the Brandenburg gate and
the Leipzig / Potsdam Square. Along with its centrality, its spacious
parks and the picturesque setting of its magnificent old buildings
made the Belle Alliance Square one of the most lively and beautiful
squares in Berlin.
The peace column, named Irene by Cantian
and Rauch, is the only ghostly reminder of the glory days of the
Belle Alliance Square. The Square was completely destroyed during
the Second World War and rebuilt by Hans Scharoun in its original
circular form. Following Scharoun’s death, Werner Düttmann
completed the planned idea of a series of residential and commercial
buildings, constructed in accordance with the style of the time.
Unfortunately the Square’s proximity to the Berlin Wall rendered
a fatal blow to its proposed image of centrality and modernity.
Due to its location at the very outer edge of West Berlin, the area
became increasingly run down and neglected.
Despite long since regaining centrality
since reunification, the Mehringplatz Square has not yet managed
to regain its original significance nor develop its new importance.
The Square is “brushed over” in the most literal sense.
It is simply crossed over to get to the museums, theatres, libraries
and galleries that surround it. The Berlin Oracle will put an end
to this tristesse. The art venture will capture the potential of
the Mehringplatz Square, revitalising it anew. The visitor will
experience a unique interplay of art, architecture, wisdom and play.

5. The Berlin Oracle-
A Timeless Island in the City
The Berlin Oracle is an architectural
game for lingering, relaxing and reflecting. An energetic, accessible,
cumulative work of art. A space where play and communication interact.
An area of peacefulness – in the middle of the comings and
goings of the capital city.
“The Berlin Oracle will
become a symbol
for joy, knowledge and
the realisation of vision, for tolerance and
internationality, for a bridge between East and West
in the global as well as the European sense.”
(Bonger Voges – Concept Artist and Initiator of The Berlin
Oracle)
The Square will be visible even from
a distance, enhanced by a twelve metre high gateway sculpture of
steel and mirrored glass by the recently deceased artist Niki de
Saint Phalle.
In both entrances, plaques elucidating
the rules of the game are found in the ground. Each of these metal
plaques (one square metre in length) carries the following inscription
in many different languages:
“Ask yourself a Question
That cannot be answered with a simple Yes or No
Make your way to the colour
That attracts you most at that moment
2,500 years of ancient wisdom
Will answer your Questions”
Sixty-four metal squares, ordered
according to the sequence of the colour spectrum are installed on
the roofs of the building that encircle the square. The colours
reflect the diversity of all cultures and peoples, symbolising a
harmonious whole, consisting of many different parts. In addition
the sixty-four colours form a corresponding visual interpretation
of the sixty- four hexagrames of the I Ching.
The colour chosen by the visitor will
lead him to a written plaque that is found at ground level. On this
he will find inspiration and information originating from Asian
wisdom that is centuries old: This is the wisdom of the I Ching,
the oldest book on the art of communication.
Corresponding to the words of wisdom,
quotations and life philosophies of sixty- four international personalities
form a personal content to the scripted plaques.
The testimonies of Nelson Mandela
and Vaclav Havel for example, stand for human worth and the realisation
of vision, promoting tolerance, understanding and vision.
The fundamental idea behind all this
is the encouragement to communicate, urging us to embrace new perspectives
and allow ourselves to be influenced by human wisdom.
An historical fountain and peace column
are located in the centre of the Square. Keeping with the spirit
of The Berlin Oracle, this will become a lucky fountain similar
to the Fontana di Trevi in Rome. A signpost encompasses the fountain,
guiding the way to the numerous nearby museums and theatres. Just
like a compass, it shows both the direction and distance to the
cultural sights.
Plans are also underfoot for a “Chinese
Wall”, on which the visitor may write, just like a visitor
book, thus immortalising his visit to the Square. Paintings cover
the walls on the Mehringplatz Square buildings.
Spanning over the Southern entrance to the Square is a concrete
banner, contracted to the artist Udo G. Cordes on which the maxim
“Know Thyself” in Greek lettering is displayed. A photographic
installation accompanies this, a pastiche of prominent people, each
turning and showing the back of his head.
Parallel to the installation is the
accompanying exhibition, “The Berlin Oracle- Gateway to the
Friedrichstraße”. The Berlin Oracle - An apex of international
perspectives, the diversity and singularity of different countries,
people and their histories, Asian wisdom in the middle of European
history. The epitome of international understanding.
back
6. The Role of the I
Ching in The Berlin Oracle:
The I Ching supplies the answers in
the Game Of Wisdom of The Berlin Oracle. With it, the visitor is
empowered to develop personal visions and begin a voyage of self-discovery.
The I Ching in the installation serves
to ask questions, or in other words to sharpen our own personal
circumspection. The I Ching gives the visitor an answer to a question,
lending advice or inspiration. Like a mirror, it reflects both the
inner and outer world of the diviner.
The concept of reflection is one of the main tenants of the I Ching
and in integrating the principles of Chinese wisdom, The Berlin
Oracle invites one to pause, play, and reflect.
This “return to the inner-self”
is similarly reflected in the lingering architecture of the Mehringplatz
Square.
The I Ching is the oldest book about
communication and wisdom. It translates as “The Book of Changes”.
In China it became the basis of the two great schools of Confucianism
and Taoism. Moreover, it formed the basic principles of all Chinese
science and art forms.
In the beginning, the I Ching was
not a book, but rather a numerical system arranged in sixty-four
signs, each with six lines. These were known as hexagrames. The
hexagrames were then divided into eight principle groups (trigagrames).
The geometry of the Mehringplatz Square corresponds exactly to the
arithmetic of the I Ching and is a natural framework for a bridge
between East and West; Western architecture and Asian wisdom.
Each hexagrame reflects a certain
aspect of reality and is an expression of the interaction between
Heaven and Earth. The wisdom of the Oracle that accompanies each
hexagrame is deduced by observing this cosmic interaction. The wisdom
obtained demonstrates the fundamental structures of our inner and
outer worlds in terms of the juxtapositional nature of Yin and Yang.
Simultaneously, various methods of understanding the relationship
between these structures exist.
The wisdom of the I Ching was set
in written form as early as the eleventh century B.C. The Evangelical
missionary organisation of Berlin assigned the theologian Richard
Wihlem the task of translating the Chinese scripts in 1899. The
translation led to the book’s wider accessibility in Western
Europe.

7. The Exhibition
To explain and illustrate the urban
art venture The Berlin Oracle, there is an exhibition in the Friedrichstraße
246. In the premises directly at the Mehringplatz Square, the visitor
can acquaint himself not only with the historical development of
the Square, but also the conceptual and spacial design of the art
installation.
Numerous photographs, maps and texts
donated by various sources such as the Kreuzberg Museum. It allows
the visitor to journey back into the history of the Mehringplatz
Square. The exhibition serves as an exemplary elucidation of the
unpredictability of German history since 1730. Thus critically informed,
the visitor gains an insight into the future of the Mehringplatz
Square – The Berlin Oracle.
Displayed in the entrance area of
the exhibition is a large scale picture of the Sungate by Niki de
Saint Phalle, which is set to mark the entrance to The Berlin Oracle.
The model of the Mehringplatz Square by the sculptor Rainer Fest
envisions exactly the plan of The Berlin Oracle. (Scale 1:100).
The visitor may first experience The
Berlin Oracle by stepping on the room-sized reproduction of the
installation in the exhibition. The design of the Oracle Square
is recreated here. A sample metal plaque explaining the rules of
the game and a deep red board in its original size contribute to
the life-like depiction of the art venture. Information concerning
the I Ching and the colour plaques, as well as important ink drawings
and drafts for the metal compositions by the artist Helge Leiberg
round off the visitor´s first encounter with the Berlin Oracle.
Two six-part drawings by the painter
Mao Marinano Rinaldi Goni, entitled “Spreehexen” (The
Witches of the Spree) and “Friedrichstraße” are
also on display, along with two drawings by the artist Elvira Bach.
These art works have been inspired by the concept of The Berlin
Oracle and its incongruous urban backdrop. The House of Visions
also exhibits alternating displays and events on the themes of urban
environmental protection, social aspects of the city, town planning,
visions and colour concepts.
back
8. The Visionary
The conceptual artist Bonger Voges
is the initiator of the art venture The Berlin Oracle.
Bonger Voges, born in Einbeck, Lower
Saxony studied classical dance in the USA, Holland and Germany.
He became a co- founder of Germany’s Hallenkultur (Theatre
outside Theatre) by spearheading the Theater Negerhalle in the 1980s.
Voges became chiefly known as the artistic supervisor and event
organiser of festivals such as “Festival der Sinne”
(The Festival of Senses) and “Macht der Nacht” (The
Power of the Night). (Co-organiser). He guest starred in his productions
in many international festivals.
Voges discovered the Mehringplatz
Square whilst attending a festival in Berlin. He was astounded by
the run down and depressing condition of the Square and it gradually
began to occupy his thoughts as he crossed it. Voges sought a way
to enhance the positive potential of the Square, its peace and calm,
through an artistic project. Inspired in equal measure by the historical
significance of the Belle Alliance Square as well as the architecture
of Scharoun and Düttmann, he came up with an aesthetic appreciation
of both.
Voges’ idea is the creation
of a site that “speaks”, with whom one can communicate,
a place that has a sensual, emotive and novel presence. For months,
Voges studied the architecture of the Square, its social structure
and history, as well as 60s and 70s art forms.
The Chinese book of wisdom, the I
Ching, which came into his hands at the same time, proved to be
the key to the conception of the art venture.
A venture where freedom, tolerance
and openness play a pivotal role.
Thus Voges developed the conception
of The Berlin Oracle, an urban art venture, a place of art, wisdom,
play and calm in the heart of Berlin.

9. The Contributing
Artists
Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle has designed the new South gate of Berlin at
the beginning of the Friedrichstraße, a twelve metre high
sculpture of mirrored glass and stainless steel.
Voges choice of Niki de Saint Phalle for his venture was a careful
one. On the one hand she is the epitome of seventies architectural
style, on the other, her art enjoys a general accessibility without
being trivial. The “human immediacy” of her art facilitates
the art venture in its goal to speak to and integrate every visitor.
Niki de Saint Phalle was born in 1930 in Neuilly-Sur-Seine . The
renouned and impressive artist joined the Nouveau Réaliste
movement 1961, joining the ranks of Arman, César, Yves Klein
and Jean Tinguely. In 1997 she officially opened one of her principle
masterpieces, the Tarot Garden in Garaviccio in Tuscany. Saint Phalles
most celebrated figures are the “nanas”, large, colourful
and voluptuous female sculptures. Niki de Saint Phalle died in June
2002 in San Diego.
Helge Leiberg
Helge Leiberg designs the sixty-four caligraphical figures for the
text boards that interpret each
aphorism in a pictoral and corporeal language. Leiberg’s art
lends the project a timeless European interpretation of Asian texts.
Helge Leiberg was born in 1957 in Dresden. Since completing his
studies in painting, graphics and art history in Dresden he has
taken part in many group and solo exhibitions. The graphic and pictorial
work of Leibergs is always in conjunction with music, performance
and film. He is above all interested in the portrayal of human movement.
Professor Kurt Weidemann
Prof. Kurt Weidemann, born in 1922 in Masuren, Poland, acts as the
head of the jury of the design competition for the project and advises
The Berlin Oracle on the specialist areas of typography. Voges wanted
a unique typeface for the written plaques and so approached Professor
Weidemann. Weidemann is one of the leading typographers and designers
in Europe.
Lebensart
Lebensart PLC is contracted by The Berlin Oracle to work out a concept
for the graphic design of the plaques that will be installed at
the Mehringplatz Square. The Lebensart Global Network PLC is an
international marketing company that operates in the fields of communication,
media and design.
Rainer Fest
The sculptor Rainer Fest created the model of the art installation
for the permanent exhibition and in 1999 developed a proposal for
the configuration of the written plaques at the Square. Since then
he has advised the project. Rainer Fest was born in Berlin in 1953.
Rock, water, light and sound form the basic elements of his sculptural
oeuvre.
Elvira Bach
Elvira Bach has dedicated two of her pictures to The Berlin Oracle.
Born in Taunus, Germany in 1951, Elvira Bach is one of the most
significant personalities of the Neoexpressionist movement. Bach
specialises in the portrayal of women whose bodies are angular and
masculine.
Udo G. Cordes
Udo G. Cordes will mount the installation entitled “Know Thyself”
at the Southern entrance of the Square. These guiding words, which
will be written in Greek lettering and adorning the outer façade
of the buildings, corresponds to the regalia that originated in
Delphi. Udo G. Cordes was born in 1947 in Recklinghausen. Since
1978 he has worked as a freelance sculptor and taken part in many
international collective and solo exhibitions.
Mao Mariano Rinaldi-Goni
Mao Mariano Rinaldi-Goni has created two six-piece paintings for
The Berlin Oracle. Born in Buenos Ares in 1972 this artist has lived
in Berlin since 1996. A complicated perspective, strong delineation
in black and a partially textured canvas with a particular preoccupation
with the female form all belong to the to the fundamental characteristics
of the work he has produced in Berlin.
Yuan Schun
Yuan Schun has developed the proposal for the light installation
for the pedestrian zone of the Friedrichstraße Street. Sketches
of the installation together with two more art pieces are on display
in the permanent exhibition at The Berlin Oracle. Yuan Shun was
born in Shanghai in 1961 and is a leading figure in the new Chinese
Avantgarde. He is especially interested in new media, as well as
traditional Chinese painting.
Shan Zeng
Zeng assists the artistic and conceptual work of The Berlin Oracle,
with particular focus on the I Ching. Shan Zeng was born in Harbin,
The People’s Republic of China, in 1965. He studied at the
School of Art in Harbin, China.
