Aus militärischer Hilflosigkeit entstanden, stellt sich der Bunker heute nur selbst dar. Die Dominanz des Bauwerkes fordert die Künstler heraus, den Ort mit Leben zu erfüllen, welches die Statik dieses Raumes aufbricht. INSIDEOUT ist darauf ausgerichtet, Berliner Kunst neuen Positionen anderer Metropolen gegenüberzustellen. Das Festival zeigt künstlerische Tendenzen beispielhaft an den signifikant Impulse gebenden Weltstädten Prag, Berlin und New York. INSIDEOUT wird das Innere des Bunkers erstmalig für Neue Kunst zugänglich machen und leitet damit den Prozeß des Umbaus in einen internationalen Ausstellungsraum ein. Ziel ist es, diesen ungewöhnlichen Raum künstlerisch zu erschließen und für eine kontinuierliche Bespielung zu sorgen. Der Eigentümer, die Nippon Development Corporation, wird den Bunker im Anschluß an das Festival im Zuge einer Komplettsanierung neu gestalten.
