http://www.vernissage.tv | This year, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures) turns twenty. To celebrate 20 years of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, well-known artist Rirkrit Tiravanija was chosen to develop the artistic program for the anniversary. Tiravanija has invited other prominent artists such as Christian Philipp Müller, Anri Sala, John Bock, and Arto Lindsay to participate in the jubilee. The opening event on September 2, 2009 featured philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah discussing cosmopolitan ethics, Gob Squads Welcome-Performance Who are you wearing?, Christian Philipp Müllers performance and installation Tohuwabohu, a cooking performance by Rirkrit Tiravanija, and the video installation Why the Lion Roars by Anri Sala. This video features impressions from the opening event and excerpts from Christian Philipp Müllers performance Tohuwabohu.
