LOVE STORM

The innovative cultural project LOVE STORM combines contemporary art with classical music it is dedicated to the 5 th anniversary of the establishing of diplomatic relations between China and Germany. Artists from Germany and China, but also from other nations such as Canada and Ukraine, are taking part. LOVE STORM encourages a vital, open culture of dialogue with objective and critical reflections. The word LOVE stands for interpersonal attitudes in a global context par excellence. As a counterbalance to the digital " shit storm" , Berlin-based artist Mia Florentine Weiss aims to introduce open, considerate coexistence to the public sphere with her ambigram sculptures. Her provocative sculpture LOVE HATE symbolizes a change in perspectives and is one of the most frequently photographed artworks in public space. The LOVE STORM project builds on this, culminating in a very special German-Chinese concert in Berlin and later in Beijing, whose participating artists are introduced in the publication. The volume also offers a look behind the scenes of the project's development and special moments.
