Rise&Fall is a mobile art installation and dance event commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The exhibition features modern digital artwork interpreting the theme 'bringing down walls/breaking down barriers' (both literally and symbolically) and music performed by Turkish-German DJ/Producer, DJ Ipek Ipekcioglu.


Artwork submissions are now being accepted until September 1, 2009. Artists, from amateur to professional, are invited to submit digital versions of their art produced in a full range of mediums along with a 100-word description of what 'bringing down walls' means to them - either as directly related to the Berlin Wall or on a more symbolic, personal, cultural or social level.

The selected images and descriptions will be displayed on digital frames and projected in event venues across the U.S. during Rise&Fall events. A select group of Rise&Fall art will be invited to be published in a limited-edition commemorative Rise&Fall book of which the selected artists will receive one free. Events will take place in New York, Miami, Boston, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles in November 2009.

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the beginning of a new era in history. It was the end of the cold war, the beginning of a fully united Europe and proof that peaceful change is possible, even in the moments when it seems most unlikely.
