A round of applause for the silent little helper called “ignorance.” No, not the kind that’ll have you clubbing foreigners on the street. The helpful kind, which, lest we lose our minds for good, has us husslin’ on despite the fact that there are (and always will be) problems in our lives we just cannot solve:

What’s the meaning of life? Will a nap make us more tired? Why, oh why, did the animals eat the pineapple? Why is the love of our life just not the one we’re meant to be with? If the following statement is true, but this statement is false, then…wait, what? Justin Bieber?

Ever since the opening of Kreuzberg’s philosophical think tank, Denkerei, last December, Oranienplatz has turned into a melting pot for those martyrly individuals who can’t help but try and solve the most unsolvable of problems. This self-proclaimed “ministry of unsolvable problems,” founded by artist, theorist, and Fluxus theory advocate, Bazon Brock, offers regular mind-bending talks, seminars, and performances, including the upcoming interactive performance, “What do you really want?” during which artist Stephanie Senge will turn people’s grocery purchases into objects they really meant to buy. In the meantime, email Brock to pitch your own unsolvable problem.

Problem? Unsolved.
