The group show dotLand marks the debut of Peninsula, an interdisciplinary platform dedicated to developing a dialog with Berlin's international artistic and cultural community.

Peninsula is a group of artists, largely Italian, who have settled in Berlin during the last decade that seeks to foster a
confrontation with the moment at hand by engaging architects, writers, musicians and all those who operate within the cultural sector. Peninsula takes its cue from the concept of Third Culture as a Third Space. It is an idea of culture constantly reconstituting and rewriting itself beyond geopolitical boundaries.

The show's title is a statement in itself. dotLand neither delineates nor indicates a country set within physical borders. It
is an open territory in which communities of intentions and ideas are shared, in dedication to Jean-Luc Nancy's Being
Singular Plural
as metaphor of a social and intercultural encounter and exchange that takes its momentum from the
shared experience of Berlin by Peninsula's members.

For this initial event, the artists of Peninsula have invited an equal number of artists from a wide variety of nationalities
in order to create an exhibition that conceivably inaugurates a selective relationship with the city and the many cultures
it hosts.

dotLand thus serves as the ideal place of encounter between multiplicity and differences, under the heading of
multidisciplinarity. It can be read as an “index” of different languages, in which the variety of forms and styles
underlines the relationship and the necessity of the Other.
