From the ACMI program:

‘The Dark Side of the City: Revisiting Bowie’s Berlin Bowie’s Berlin period (1976-1979) is considered to be one of his most successful and prolific, producing a number of albums (Low, 1977, Heroes, 1977, and Lodger, 1979) that experimented with musical form and idiom. Berlin, however, was much more than a laboratory for experimentation for Bowie – it was a landscape, a traumatic space and a carnival of possibility that seeped its way into Bowie’s own persona, politics and artwork. In this nostalgic stream, panel members explore the way the city, the German art scene and the maddening genius of Bowie collided and colluded in exciting and provocative ways.’
