On June 15, artist Lola von der Gracht and her band NIP SLIP will present a performance in the courtyard of Kunst Raum Mitte in which punk and poetry collide. The performance is the final event of the program sequence in sight, in which the (in)visibility of queer bodies is linked to the inhabitation and abandoning of places.

NIP SLIP 
Unfuckingfassbar!
Envie de vie!
The UNDERWORLD!
lipstick on my dreams

NIP SLIP’s founding members Lola von der Gracht & Alex Mara have been on stage together since 2018.  With various projects they have played locally at Berghain, Musikbrauerei, Schinkel Pavillon, Ballhaus Berlin, Volksbühne, Planetarium, Ringlokschuppen Mülheim an der Ruhr, POP Kudamm and internationally at Ssense (Montréal, Canada), Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), London (UK), The Scotch of St. James, London (UK) and De Studio, Antwerp (BE).

They have been described as a fusion of experimental band and innovative art project. The bands nonconformist attitudes feature in Lola von der Gracht’s provocative lyrics, thematizing subjects such as rebellion, death, love, freedom, addiction, hope and identity.

With their former project „Die Hässlichen Vögel“ von der Gracht & Mara have been featured in Interview Magazine US (2019), Süddeutsche Zeitung (2019), taz (2020), Vogue Germany (2021) and Vogue US (2021).

Their music has been described as „floating between cavernous baroque to the driving punk that could have found itself at CBGB’s in New York’s underground heyday“ (Phil Backes, Document Journal), further likening them to New Wave and Riot Girl movement.
