On The Clock

A Performative Exhibition During Berlin Art WeekSeptember 9-13, 2026Manifesto Market, Potsdamer Platz, BerlinFree Entry/Donation-BasedOn the Clock transforms Manifesto Market into a live working studio. Across five days during Berlin Art Week, artists occupy former food stand structures, dressed in blue overalls and working in continuous shifts across painting, music, fashion design, choreography, performance, and installation.There is no final artwork. There is no curatorial control. What matters is the labour itself: the visibility of the creative process and the rhythm of a factory floor applied to artistic practice.The studio operates on a shift schedule. Each artist enters their station, works visibly under fluorescent light, and leaves at the end of their time. Rehearsal, experimentation, repetition, failure, construction, and transformation all happen in public. There is no attempt to separate process from presentation.The blue overall becomes the project’s only visual anchor,
