> 20 venues across Berlin
art / sound / digital culture

transmediale and CTM's Vorspiel is a pre-festival programme where over 20 partner venues invite you to a series of exhibition openings, performances, artist talks and special events outside the main venues of either festival. Vorspiel will take place on the weekend prior to both festivals, from Thursday 26 – Sunday 29 January 2012, at independent organisations, galleries, project spaces and other venues across Berlin. The Vorspiel programme partners have been selected by transmediale and CTM according to one of the following criteria: content that relate to the in/compatible and / or SPECTRAL thematic frameworks of the festivals, key collaboration partners and high artistic quality. Take this chance to experience some of Berlin's best experimental arts, music and sound in this unique pre-festival weekend.
