Robert Barta takes part in a group show "Rohkunstbau XVI Atlantis I - Hidden histories - New identities", 12th July - 13th September, at Schloss Marquardt in Potsdam (www.rohkunstbau.de).

Ten artists from Germany and eastern Europe (Martin Assig, Robert Barta, Dennis Feddersen, Gregor Hildebrandt, Sabine Hornig, Lisa Junghanss, Sejla Kameric, Katarizyna Kozyra, Deimantas Narkevicius, Thomas Scheibitz) have been invited to create site-specific works exploring the theme of Atlantis. The island of Atlantis became the object of a philosophical dispute after it was first mythologized as an ideal state over 2400 years ago in Plato's dialogues. Down the centuries, it has repeatedly been re-interpreted, both philosophically and politically, as the bearer of the most diverse notions of dispersal and re-formation, and a benchmark for what has been lost or re-discovered. The search for hidden histories and new identities undertaken by these ten artists, each working from their own biographical and personal perspective, will be taking the concept of the mythical Atlantis as a point of reference.

At the moment Robert Barta is taking part also in the following group shows: "Out of wedding", Uferhallen, Berlin, 19th June - 15th July 2009 (www.uferhallen.de); "Romantische Maschinen - Kinetische Kunst der Gegenwart, George Kolbe Museum, Berlin, 28th June - 6th September 2009 (www.georg-kolbe-museum.de); "La mesure du désordre", Le Parvis - scène nationale Tarbes Pyrénées, Centre Commercial Méridien, Ibos, France, 23th June - 3th October 2009, (www.parvis.net).
