The building smells of woodchips before you have seen a single block, ArtReview's Emily May wrote. Inside, 400,000 cubes of spruce and pine, each 10 cm a side, cover the 2,500-square-metre Historic Hall, stacked into towers and heaps or lying loose like rubble.

You are allowed to pick them up, and visitors keep rebuilding the landscape alongside a cast of singers in linen and work gloves, who often knock down what visitors have built. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 14:00 to 17:00 they sing lines by 15 poets, among them Etel Adnan, Mahmoud Darwish and Ocean Vuong. It is the one room in Berlin where a stranger in work gloves can flatten your tower and it counts as the art.

May found it meditative, though it can tip into sentiment when the cast climbs the structures to sing "like prophets delivering a new gospel"; it is stronger when they sing as they build. Entry is €16 (€8 concessions, under-18s free), Thursdays until 20:00 through November.

Ez galdu

  • The cube landscape

    Look across the Historic Hall floor at 400,000 ten-centimetre spruce and pine cubes, piled into towers, colosseum-like rings and rubble heaps that change every day.

  • The singers at work

    Performers in loose linen and workmen's gloves dismantle and rebuild as they sing a libretto drawn from 15 poets, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons.

  • "This is a spell to stop the loop"

    Listen for this line by Bhanu Kapil in the libretto, which ArtReview picked out as a possible statement of the work's intent.

  • The listening benches

    Benches by Mantas Peteraitis's architecture studio stand among the blocks for anyone who would rather sit and hear the choir than build.

Norentzat

  • Iluntzeko bisitak
  • Bakarrik
  • Haur txikiak

Ez joan, baldin eta

You want a quiet hall of objects to look at: here people build, demolish and sing around you.

Haurrekin

Under-18s get in free and there are no rules about what to build; Tagesspiegel watched an 8-year-old start stacking straight away. The blocks have jagged edges, ArtReview noted.
