until 25.10. | #4820ARTatBerlin | Galerie Nordenhake is currently presenting the exhibition “die welt und die spiegel” by the artist Timm Rautert. For five decades, Timm Rautert has shaped the perception of photography, its possibilities and limitations. His Image-Analytical Photography series, begun in 1968 and long considered groundbreaking, is regarded as a radical exploration of the medium’s basic grammar. Early on, Rautert departed from the idea of photography as a purely reality-reproducing practice, instead making visible the performative and staged aspects of representation. His first solo exhibition at Galerie Nordenhake in Berlin brings together two recent series, a room installation, and several key works from the 1970s. In Weltraum (2014/15), Rautert makes architectural space the protagonist. His photographs guide us through the FAO headquarters in Rome, a building conceived as a colonial administration, halted during WWII, and completed in the 1950s as the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. By documenting the rooms individually designed by member states, Rautert highlights the building’s layered and contradictory history while also reflecting on strategies of self-representation and on photography’s ability to shape reality. With Manhattan Mirror (2012), New York becomes a city of reflections. Skyscrapers appear as collaged fragments, humans are present yet never […]

until 25.10. | #4818ARTatBerlin | PSM Gallery shows from Friday, 12. September 2025 (Vernissage: 11.09.) the exhibition “Sun of Tomorrow” by the artist Dudu Quintanilha. For Berlin Art Week 2025, PSM presents new works by Berlin-based artist Dudu Quintanilha (São Paulo, 1987). Working between performance, video, photography, and collaborative processes, Quintanilha explores the intersections of intimacy, collectivity, and the political dimension of the body. His practice approaches art as a form of documentation—yet always seeking experimental ways to transform the act of recording into an open field of experience.  The exhibition brings together two major recent projects: Erotics in Participation (2024) is a three-channel video installation developed from a workshop conceived for Stadt:Kollektiv at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, with the support of the Inter Media Art Institute IMAI in Düsseldorf, and with choreographic advice by Katja Cheraneva. Starting from the charged concepts of eroticism and participation, the project asked: Can we still be experimental with the erotic today? How do digital intimacy, polyamory, safe spaces, and rising conservative violence reshape our desires and gestures of connection? Participants explored new physical vocabularies of desire, affection, fear, and rejection, while translating their movements into silhouettes behind a screen. The resulting video, accompanied by a soundtrack by Lille Lake […]

until 01.11. | #4814ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tanja Wagner presents from Thursday, 11. September 2025 the group exhibition Why We Do What We Do with works by Ulf Aminde, Annabel Daou, Elisa Giardina Papa, Šejla Kamerić, Kapwani Kiwanga, Laurel Nakadate, Grit Richter, Anna Steinert, Angelika J. Trojnarski and Anna Witt. The Tanja Wagner Gallery presents earlier and new works by its artists Ulf Aminde, Annabel Daou, Elisa Giardina Papa, Šejla Kamerić, Kapwani Kiwanga, Laurel Nakadate, Grit Richter, Anna Steinert, Angelika J. Trojnarski & Anna Witt, each accompanied by a statement in their own words—about what drives them, why they create, and what keeps them returning to their studios. “Why We Do What We Do” is both a love letter and a wink. A love letter to the artists whose vision, rigor, and tireless curiosity inspire me every day—and a wink to all of you who have cheered us on, challenged us, collected with passion, and made this journey richer than I could ever have imagined. During the opening of “Why We Do What We Do,” artist Annabel Daou from New York will appear for a special signing of her new monograph “Possibilities of Repair,” published by DISTANZ. “Possibilities of Repair” offers […]

until 24.10. | #4812ARTatBerlin | Kuckei + Kuckei shows from Thursday, 11. September 2025 the exhibition flower:trail by the artist Nikola Röthemeyer. Nikola Röthemeyer’s drawings spin worlds of their own, which narrate the precise delicacy, the beauty of the organic and an imaginative, passionate observation of nature. The exhibition flower:trail brings together large-format drawings that can be read like a wall frieze, marking a continuous path through Röthemeyer’s cosmos of humans and animals, flora and fauna.  She combines her highly precise brush drawings with areas of coloured ink, whose delicate gradients masterfully connect the deliberately placed with the randomly occurring. In the exhibition, they are complemented by a wall narrative that extends the drawing into the gallery space. The artist’s works are continuous, each of the motifs is connected to the following. Taken as a whole, they suggest a path through the unknown: a scene that appears both magical and adventurous, in which nature – simply in its choice of proportions – is far superior to humans. What could be interpreted in many ways as a “dreamlike landscape” embodies a concept of nature that symbolises a protective and harmonious force. Röthemeyer finds examples of this concept in the songlines of […]

until 21.10. | #4806ARTatBerlin | DIEHL shows from 11. September 2025 (Opening: 10.09.) the exhibition “All rivers flow too, the sea, you must not look back” by the artist Winston Branch.

until 01.11. | #4804ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts Shows from Wednesday, 10. September 2025, the Group exhibition “I sing the body electric” by the artist Cecily Brown, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Sarah Lucas, Maja Ruznic and Tobias Spichtig. I Sing the Body Electric presents works by contemporary painters that deal with the human body. Walt Whitman’s poem, an ode to the human physique from which the exhibition title is borrowed, may sound unusually emphatic from today’s perspective. When it appeared in Leaves of Grass in 1855, however, it polarised the public. Its language was perceived as sexualised, and its veiled criticism of slavery was understood by some as just that. At that time, not even the trams were electric; they were still pulled by horses. In the mid-19th century, when electromagnetism had only just been discovered, the term had not yet found its way into everyday language and was familiar only to an intellectual and scientific avant-garde. The human body has preoccupied artists for millennia. Its representation in writing, language and visual art reflects social and cultural discourses. This exhibition also shows how different artistic approaches to this ancient topos can be. It can be suggested in a cryptic way, as in Cecily Brown’s The Call […]

until 01.11. | #4801ARTatBerlin | Galerie Guido W. Baudach presents from 12th September 2025 (Opening 11.09.) the exhibition „Unclosure“ by the artist Philipp Modersohn. “Truly good and, indeed, divine things are alive and active outside you and should be let in to work their changes. Such incursions formally instruct and enrich our lives in society (…).” –Anne Carson, Eros the Bittersweet In his fifth solo exhibition with Galerie Guido W. Baudach, entitled Unclosure, Philipp Modersohn presents a new multifaceted installation in situ. Starting point is the examination of structures of demarcation and division that can lead to isolation. Possibilities for emancipation from these structures are explored using various everyday objects: a stone that cannot be categorised, a monitor that no longer displays anything and instead reveals its materiality made visible by heating, a room that opens up to an undefined weather event, … Parallel to the exhibition, the first comprehensive publication on Modersohn’s artistic practice, entitled Attitudes of Stone, is being released by Bom Dia Boa Tarde Boa Noite publishers, Berlin, edited by Wilma Lukatsch and the Kunstverein Oldenburg. The book contains short poetic and theoretical contributions by authors from various professions, pseudo-scientific diagrams, and an overview of the artist’s previous site-specific installations and other […]

until 25.10. | #4799ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie presents from Friday, 12th September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition „Constant Bloom“ by the artist Lucas Foglia. Photographer Lucas Foglia’s latest body of work is titled ‘Constant Bloom’. It traces the world’s longest butterfly migration. Each year, Painted Lady butterflies travel between Africa, the Middle East, and Europe in search of blooming flowers. They have followed this route for millions of years. Lucas Foglia, Wings from Two Painted Lady Butterflies, One Young and One Old, Institut Botànic de Barcelona, Spain, 2021 Today, with climate change altering when and where wildflowers bloom, Painted Ladies rely on flowers in our parks, farms, and gardens. As Foglia followed the butterflies from Kenya to Norway, he also met people experiencing unseasonal droughts, floods, or freezes. Many were refugees travelling to Europe along the same route as the Painted Ladies. In ‘Constant Bloom’, the longest butterfly migration becomes a metaphor for human connections across international borders. Opening: Thursday, 11. September 2025 at 6:00 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 12. September to Saturday, 25.

until 25.10. | #4796ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin shows from Thursday, 11. September 2025 the exhibition “Passagiere der Nacht” by the artist Ulrike Theusner. It felt kind of warm, eternal. There shall be what we were for others. Smatterings, fragments of us that perhaps they thought they glimpsed. There shall be dreams of us that they nurtured. And we were never the same. Each time, we were magnificent strangers, passengers of the night that they invented, like fragile shadows in old, long-forgotten bedroom mirrors. From The Passengers of the Night, a film by Mikhaël Hers (France, 2022) I was inspired by Mikhaël Hers’ film The Passengers of the Night, set in 1980s Paris – a film about the power and importance of relationships. It was not so much the film’s topic – the story of 50-year-old Elisabeth, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg, who finds her way back from her state of desperate instability to optimism and courage – but more its melancholy, its fragmented narrative style, the unspoken words in between dialogues, hovering over the images, rendering everything in a sensitive, delicate lightness, as expressed so poetically in the short final monologue. Opening: Thursday, 11. September 2025, 6 – 10 pm. Exhibition dates: […]

until 11.10. | #4792ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tammen shows from Saturday, 6 September 2025 the exhibition “Zeichnungen in Wachs / Holzskulpturen + Keramiken” with the artists Heike Jeschonnek and Lothar Seruset. In this exhibition, artists Heike Jeschonnek and Lothar Seruset present different approaches to their work in a joint dialogue. Jeschonnek works with paraffin drawings on cardboard, which, with their fine lines and colour accents, transform floral motifs such as bees on hydrangeas 3 or peonies into a fragile, almost translucent visual language. Lothar Seruset „ es ist alles“, 2023,Keramik, Metall, 105 x 44 x 70 cm (Foto: Leo Seidel) Lothar Seruset, on the other hand, develops his formal language in wood, ceramics and metal. Works such as Im Eis III (In Ice III, 2025, wood, painted for bronze) or es ist alles (it is everything, 2023, ceramics, metal) reveal a sculptural exploration of materiality, volume and balance. Die Eröffnung wird durch eine Einführung des Kurators Christoph Tannert begleitet.

until 18.10. | #4790ARTatBerlin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne shows from Friday, 5 September 2025 in the backstage of the gallery the exhibition “leichtes Abweichen” by the artist Christian Schiebe. The exhibition “leichtes Abweichen” presents small-scale ink drawings by Christian Schiebe, mounted on primed papers, films, or common stationery materials. The works function as loose components for spatial arrangements and are positioned in relation to surfaces, inventory, structural conditions, light, and shadow. By hanging, laying, or sticking them, the drawings interact playfully with elements such as skirting boards, light switches, or ventilation grilles, while remaining autonomous and emitting their own drawing light. Schiebe works in a process-oriented manner: repetition, variation, and correction result in a few peculiar exceptions from hundreds of attempts, which are assembled into groups over months and prepared for their optimal placement in the space. Thematically, the drawings address becoming, the not-yet, or no-longer, creating a suspension between appearance and disappearance. The presentation explores the relationship between space, material, and line in an improvised rhythm of slight deviations. Christian Schiebe, born 1985 in Neubrandenburg, lives and works in Berlin; master student with Prof. Nanne Meyer at Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin; numerous exhibitions and scholarships including Kunstfonds Bonn, […]

until 29.11. | #4787ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler (Goethestraße 2/3) shows from 11. September 2025 the exhibition “Mothers” by the artist Grace Weaver. In her latest series, Grace Weaver turns to archetypal motifs, including the mother and child, and the female nude. For Weaver, the body is not just a subject but a site – a stage on which line is choreographed in lyrical gestures, and through which emotion comes to the fore. Despite their monumental scale, Weaver’s new works disclose humble subjects and tender sentiments. Across a series of large square-format canvases, Weaver’s mothers pose in enveloping embraces: swaying, kneeling, or cradling children in their laps. Alongside these, several paintings feature solitary female figures in bowing stances reminiscent of Eve or Aphrodite, attempting to shield their nude bodies from the viewer’s gaze. By contrast, the mother and child paintings propose a triangularity of gazes: at times either mother or child stares outward, at others they remain locked in one another’s gaze. Elongated, curving necks recall the postures of Weaver’s Flowers series (2024). As in this earlier body of work, Weaver’s central motif is recognisable, and yet drifts towards abstraction; limbs taper into space, and abbreviated lines merely suggest garments or contours. Whether […]

until 24.10. | #4782ARTatBerlin | Verena Kerfin Gallery shows from Friday, 12 September 2025 the solo exhibition “GAZA, again” by the artist Ondrej Drescher. Gaza – Art as Butterfly Research In the self-conception of most contemporary artists, art has no essential relation to reality—let alone to the task Heiner Müller assigned to it: to make reality “impossible.” Müller did not wish to ignore reality, nor to beautify it, but to intervene deliberately in its ideological construction. To “make reality impossible” means to interrupt, distort, and confront it so profoundly that its supposed naturalness breaks apart—wresting it from the grip of dominant orders by rendering its prevailing images and narratives unusable for their original political ends. That is the essence of Müller’s concept of resistance: art must never collaborate with power; it must disrupt language and sabotage authority. Today, however, many insiders are content with far lesser ambitions. They pontificate in detached clichés about their own economic relevance, call themselves Berlin’s “lifespenders,” and define their role, in all seriousness, as butterfly researchers of ideas: “It’s more like artists are blind butterfly researchers: they capture ideas that no one has yet been able to name.” Which ideas those might be, they of […]

until 25.10. | #4781ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin shows from 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition “By the Skin of My Teeth” by the artist Henni Alftan. Henni Alftan’s artistic practice is grounded in a profound exploration of the medium of painting, examining its methods and histories. Her intimately familiar yet intriguingly enigmatic portrayals of everyday life arise from a process of observation and deduction, resulting in precise and carefully cropped figurative works that embody a studied economy of means. By skillfully employing scale, perspective and texture, Alftan reveals the strangeness of the ordinary. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present a solo show during Berlin Art Week, featuring all-new paintings and the artist’s first-ever presentation of drawings. Opening: Thursday, 11. September 2025, 6 – 10 pm. Exhibition dates: Friday, 12. September – Saturday, 25. October 2025     Title image caption: Henni Alftan, Haircut, 2024, Courtesy the artist, Sprüth Magers and Karma.

until 01.11. | #4778ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 contemporary shows from Friday, 12 September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the solo exhibition “Morpheus Mango Mau” by the artist Helga Schmidhuber. As part of the exhibition, a talk with journalist, biologist, and philosopher Cord Riechelmann will take place on Sunday, 14 September 2025, at 10:30 am. Helga Schmidhuber’s paintings move between myth, dream, and organic materiality. Her images open fragmentary landscapes in which meanings shimmer, horizons dissolve, and instinct overlays logic. Helga Schmidhuber, Untitled, No 10 from Krähen kommen -Titanweiß series, 2008, Mixed media on hand-made paper, 105 x 105 cm At the center of her artistic practice is transformation: the dissolution of boundaries, the visualization of transitions, and the tracing of archaic energies—not as a return to the past, but as a radical experience of the present. Her working method is processual, experimental, and sensually imbued, carried by a synesthetic perception and a fascination for biodiversity and natural forms. Helga Schmidhuber, Untitled, from Morpheus series , 2024, Mixed media & applications on canvas, 220 × 190 cm In her current cycle Morpheus, predators, birds, and traces of micro-life meet in paradoxical, peaceful coexistence.

until 18.10. | #4772ARTatBerlin | neugerriemschneider (Linienstrasse) shows from 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition “Noch ein bild” by the artist Michel Majerus. The eleventh solo exhibition of works by Michel Majerus at neugerriemschneider, noch ein bild, focuses on the artist’s early work and presents a group of small-format paintings from his late student years, some of which are being shown for the first time since their creation. With the carefree expansion of the traditional medium of oil on wood through acrylic colours, unconventional picture supports such as chipboard or plywood, pop-cultural motifs and serial principles, they anticipate central elements of his late practice. The comic-like figures, picture-filling logos, abstract compositions based on repetition and grids and surreal figurative scenes create a whole in the exhibition context that forms the basis for Majerus’ spatial treatment of painting. They testify to a freedom in the selection, combination and installation of images that allowed the artist to create a body of work over the following ten years that anticipates the simultaneity of today’s visual culture.

until 14.09. | #4770ARTatBerlin | aquabitArt Galerie shows from Monday, 8 September 2025 the exhibition “The Pintography Series_02” by the artist duo Sveson Jonson. Sveson Jonson is the Berlin-based creative duo of Johannes Hicks and Sven Schrader. Their interdisciplinary work fuses film, photography, design, collage, and text into a unique visual language. Sveson Jonson, Bries, 2025 (© Sveson Jonson / Courtesy aquabitArt) Since 2020, they have pursued The Pintography Project, a series of collage artworks combining photography with 3D pin art. This distinctive aesthetic has been exhibited in Berlin and Paris, attracting international attention. Sveson Jonson, Eule, 2025 (© Sveson Jonson / Courtesy aquabitArt) With The Pintography Series_02, aquabitArt presents a continuation of this project, inviting audiences to explore new perspectives on the relationship between digital processes and handmade collage in contemporary art.

until 01.11. | #4766ARTatBerlin | Taubert Contemporary shows from Wednesday, 10. September 2025 the exhibition “Konkrete Aquarelle” by the artist Beat Zoderer. Beat Zoderer has only been devoting himself to classical painting for a few years. For his latest works, the artist uses acrylic paint on MDF boards or cardboard in varying formats. Multicolored, rectangular surfaces, grids, and patterns overlap, shift in front of, behind, and on top of each other in these paintings. The transparency of the colors, used in a film-like manner, allows the overlapping fields to appear in mixed tones. Small squares of uniform size, black, white, or mixed colors, give this richness of color a structure that helps to explore the front and back, the depth of the space that is created. Beat Zoderer is rooted in concrete, not abstract but fundamentally abstract art; the visual exploration of spatiality is one of his main interests. Beat Zoderer, three layered concrete watercolor, acrylic on MDF, framed | 102 x 102 cm | 40.2 x 40.2 inch | 3.3 x 3.3 ft  The use of water-soluble and therefore transparent acrylic paint led to the title of the new group of works: “Concrete Watercolors.” In analogy to the Japanese, […]

until 01.11. | #4763ARTatBerlin | ZWINGER Galerie shows from Saturday, 6 September 2025 (Opening: 05.09.) the exhibition “nähen nähen nähen” by the artist Käthe Kruse. Käthe Kruse does not draw—she sews. In a focused, time-intensive process, the artist places stitch next to stitch with the sewing machine, densely layered from top to bottom. Her sewn drawings, known among others from 48 Farben (2021–22), unfold a diagrammatic linearity reminiscent of script or musical score. For the new series presented at ZWINGER Galerie, photocopies of memory photographs from Pompeii serve as the starting material. Dense overlays of polyester thread shift and veil the motifs—as if seen behind a curtain. Central to Kruse’s practice are a calculated susceptibility to error and irregularity and her insistence on hand production. In this exhibition, production becomes performance: on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 2:00–6:00 pm, the artist sews in the gallery—a permanent gesture between making and performing. Production becomes exhibition: during opening hours, the artist sews at the machine—a permanent performance. Opening: Friday, 5 September 2025, 6:00–9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 6 September – Saturday, 1 November 2025 Performance:Thursday, Friday & Saturday, 2:00–6:00 pm – “Käthe Kruse sews”     Image caption title: © Käthe Kruse / […]

until 31.10. | #4760ARTatBerlin | Galerie Michael Haas shows from Friday, 12 September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition “Gänge geh’n noch – Neue Bilder” by the artist Peter Bömmels. Peter Bömmels (born 1951) creates works using acrylic and polymer clay, mixed media with human hair, and marble sculptures. Yet painting has always been at the core of his practice. Since his beginnings with the Cologne artist group Mülheimer Freiheit, the self-taught artist has remained faithful to a carefree, trivial aesthetic. In his unique visual language – reduced to essential elements, yet open and ambiguous – figures and hybrid creatures populate surreal spaces. His paintings reflect both the absurdity of everyday life and mythical dimensions drawn from fairy tales, memories, and the “eternal cycle.” After the thought-laden years of minimalism and conceptual art, his humour still resonates as a liberating gesture. Peter Bömmels in seinem Atelier, 2025 The exhibition Gänge geh’n noch presents a selection of new paintings. The artist will be present at the opening, and a catalogue will accompany the show. Opening and Gallery Night: Thursday, 11 September 2025, 6:00–10:00 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 12 September – Friday, 31 October 2025 Special opening hours (Berlin Art Week): Saturday & […]

until 01.11. | #4757ARTatBerlin | Galerie Barbara Wien shows from 23. August 2025 (Vernissage: 22.08.) the exhibition “Self Portrait” by the artist Shimabuku. In Shimabuku’s third solo exhibition at Galerie Barbara Wien – titled Self Portrait and featuring works from 1991 to 2023 – we encounter an artist whose works usually arise and develop in and through interaction with other cultures and beings, human and non-human. His artistic approach is mostly characterised by straightforward and somewhat open concepts – based on elementary questions about daily habits and routines. Most of his works are accompanied by a text that introduces the viewer to the ideas behind them, typically in a succinct, concentrated form. These texts are usually displayed alongside his photographs, videos, sculptures or installations. Following his thirst for knowledge and his curiosity, Shimabuku often appears as a performer or mediator in his works, as if on stage. He remains fully present throughout the creative process, openly expressing his thoughts. In doing so, he inspires others to explore themselves and build networks with other people. Therefore, it is no surprise that he continues to engage in dialogue with artists and theorists such as Philippe Parreno, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Nicolas Bourriaud, whom […]

until 01.11. | #4752ARTatBerlin | Meyer Riegger Berlin shows from Thursday, 11 September 2025, the exhibition “Paintings and Collages from the Years 1954 to 1982” by the artist Sarah Schumann in collaboration with Christoph Keller. Sarah Schumann considered herself primarily a painter, yet her diverse oeuvre encompasses painting, collage, graphic art, essays, film, acting, and curating. As one of the most visible protagonists of the New Women’s Movement in the 1970s, she left a lasting impact on the cultural perception of art and feminism. In 2015, her long-time partner Silvia Bovenschen dedicated the literary portrait Sarah’s Law to her, while Harun Farocki’s 1976 film A Picture of Sarah Schumann offers a fascinating cinematic homage. Sarah Schumann, Schockcollage, ohne Titel, vor Herbst 1959, Papiercollage, 34,6 x 23,5 cm (Privatsammlung; Foto: Nicolai Stephan) The exhibition spans three decades of work, from her early experimental collages to large-scale paintings. Particularly noteworthy are her “shock collages” from the 1960s, in which she combined magazine and newspaper cut-outs to create new, often surreal visual worlds – a critical and poetic examination of visual media and societal role models. Her paintings, characterised by vibrant colours and a clear formal language, interweave personal narratives with art historical […]

until 06.09. | #4756ARTatBerlin | CSR.ART in collaboration with Galerie Martin Mertens presents from Friday, 08. August 2025 (Opening: 07.08.) the exhibition FINE ART! by the artists Thorbjørn Bechmann, Sébastien Gaudette and Sebastian Herzau. The exhibition will be on display in the new CSR.ART exhibition space at BIKINI BERLIN. As soon as you step into the FINE ART! exhibition, you notice that something is happening here that captivates your gaze. It’s a real head-turner. At first glance, the works appear clear and easy to grasp – but linger a moment longer and they begin to reveal their second, third and fourth layers. Traditional techniques with a surprise effect Thorbjørn Bechmann, Sébastien Gaudette and Sebastian Herzau work with tried-and-tested artistic methods, but they twist them in such a way that your eye is constantly tripped up – in the best possible sense. Thorbjørn Bechmann lets pigments flow across the canvas in highly diluted oil until transparent colour spaces form, sometimes floating, sometimes flowing into one another like waves. What begins calmly can become intense. Thorbjorn Bechmann, o. T., 2021, 80 x 70 cm, courtesy of Galerie Martin Mertens Sébastien Gaudette shapes paper? No, aluminium! Objects that look like crumpled paper. Everything […]

until 31.10. | #4747ARTatBerlin | Galerie Brockstedt shows from Thursday, 11 September 2025 the solo exhibition “Love is Pop” by the artist SALUSTIANO. Born in Seville in 1965, SALUSTIANO focuses in his artistic practice on a few, powerful recurring visual elements. His symbolic motifs act like precise torpedoes – each directed to evoke a unique and personal emotional response in the viewer. His minimalist compositions are clear, bold and deeply expressive. Salustiano, Love is Pop (Zahara con Kimono Y Pistola), 2024, oil on canvas, 138 x 138 cm His reduced colour palette – filled with spiritual resonance – contributes to a sense of transcendence, inviting contemplation. These tones are often considered sacred across various religions, and for SALUSTIANO they form the spiritual backbone of the viewing experience. For him, no work is complete until it has been seen, felt, and internalized by a viewer. His paintings are “completed” again and again through each encounter around the world. Salustiano, On the Road (Diego con Cigarro) 2020, Durchm. 120 cm, Pigmente, Acryl auf Leinwand SALUSTIANO has exhibited internationally in recent years and received a wide array of accolades and media attention. A major moment came in spring 2024, when he created the […]

until 30.08. | #4745ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tammen shows from 25. July 2025 the exhibition “lange reise“ by the artist Sador Weinsčlucker. For his first solo exhibition at Galerie Tammen, “lange reise”, Sador Weinsčlucker has painted 42 works over the past year, in continuation and further development of two long-standing series, obviously timeless monochrome (seascapes) and deci-sively contemporary colourful still lifes. Sador Weinsčlucker, “viele tage licht”, 2024, 60 x 100 cm, Oil on canvas The next logical step for the artist was to bring these two series together in one work, not side by side, but recto-verso: in this exhibition, Sador Weinsčlucker is showing his “altarpieces” in the tradition of retables or winged altars for the first time in public. Sador Weinsčlucker, “hinten frischer wind”, 2025, 24 x 30 cm, Oil on wood These long-term series are to a certain extent artistic journeys that the Berlin painter embarked on many years ago and to which he invites us to accompany him part of the way. It is often not the arrival but the impressions along the way that make a journey so appealing. This is precisely why it seems appropriate to accompany the artist on this stage of his long journey.

Until 06.09. | #4742ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 shows from 08. August 2025 (Opening: 07.08.) the Group exhibition “Abyss of Absence” with Vanshika Agrawal, Neda Aydin, Pavlos Ioannides, and Lorenz Pasch. It rustles, it rattles, it roars, it hums, bursts, crashes, buzzes, throbs, knocks and booms – every day our path leads us through a densely overgrown thicket of noise that seems so commonplace to us that it doesn’t actually appear in our perception at all, unless the volume level suddenly skyrockets for a brief moment. The background noise is so familiar to us, we have almost grown so fond of it, that for most people it is so unfamiliar and unpleasant to be exposed to complete silence that they are in danger of losing their minds. Abysses open up for those who enter the silence and realise: there is not nothing here. Installation view: Lorenz Pasch, perfect puddle, 2023 The manifold forms and effects of silence – states of extreme discomfort and agonising uncertainty can alternate with feelings of ecstasy and oceanic dissolution of boundaries – have moved and fascinated people for thousands of years: be it the search for mystical oneness with the deity or redemption from the ego – […]

until 06.09. | #4738ARTatBerlin | ARTES Berlin currently shows the exhibition Lehrer und Schüler (Teachers + Students) with artists by the gallery, amongst others with Peter Dreher and Erich Heckel, Georg Baselitz and Norbert Bisky, Römer + Römer and A. R. Penck, Karl Otto Götz and Gerhard Richter, Joseph Beuys and Jörg Immendorff, and many more. At the same time, ARTES Berlin is showing an accrochage throughout the year. Teachers and Students What happens when teaching becomes inspiration? Tensions arise between generations – characterised by closeness, rupture and further development. The works show how artistic influence leads not to imitation, but to transformation. The exhibition is dedicated to the artistic dialogue between generations. It features works by artists whose connections are based on forms of transmission – not in the sense of traditional teaching relationships, but as a lively examination of influence, demarcation and further development. The constellations presented show how teaching becomes artistic influence and sometimes also conscious questioning. Peter Dreher’s quiet realism meets Erich Heckel’s expressive visual language. Two contrasting positions that reveal different approaches to form, colour and perception. The relationship between Georg Baselitz and Norbert Bisky is equally charged: attitude meets rupture, gesture meets calculated staging […]

until 30.08. | #4737ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte (Potsdamer Str.) shows since Saturday, 28 June 2025 the duo exhibition “A Plant. A Person. A Life.”, by the artists Leunora Salihu and Albrecht Schnider. The exhibition’s title frames two artistic practices that operate on the edge of abstraction, structure and organic motion. Leunora Salihu presents both new and past sculptural works in varying scales – standing, suspended, or wall-mounted. Her sculptures evoke bodily and architectural references through materials such as wood, ceramic, plaster and iron, suggesting movement, rhythm and a physical relationship with space. Albrecht Schnider shows small-format paintings in which two recurring motifs gradually emerge: floral and plant-like elements on the one hand, and hints of portraiture on the other. Through repetition and transformation, a constructed sense of nature unfolds – rooted in life, in the animate, and in the forms that surround us daily. A Plant. A Person. A Life. brings together works that reflect on life and vitality – on plants and people, forms and spaces, stillness and movement. Opening: Saturday, 28. Juni Exhibition dates: Saturday, 28 June – Saturday, 30 August 2025     Image caption title: Leunora Salihu, Boot, 2015, wood, rope, 36 x 96 x […]

The exhibition honours the life’s work of Renate Hampke and Ursula Sax, two outstanding personalities in the German art landscape. On the occasion of their respective 90th birthdays, works from different creative phases are presented, which visualise their individual artistic positions and at the same time their joint cultural impact. Renate Hampke, O.T.

until 10.08. | #4729ARTatBerlin | EBENSPERGER BERLIN shows from Thursday, 10 July 2025 the solo exhibition ROAM by artist Christian Schwarzwald. In the exhibition ROAM, Christian Schwarzwald uses drawing as a means of wandering — in thought, through space, and with the eye. Lines, patterns, and symbols form cartographic systems that oscillate between orientation and disorientation. His works create layered structures that serve as visual tools for navigating the unfamiliar. For Schwarzwald, drawing becomes a medium of exploration — a quiet instrument for sensing, tracing, and navigating the world with intuition and care. Opening: Thursday, 10 July 2025, 6:00–9:00 PM Exhibition Dates: Friday, 11 July – Sunday, 10 August 2025     Titelbildunterschrift: Christian Schwarzwald, SOSOSO, 2025, acrylic on canvas, 200 × 300 cm Exhibition Christian Schwarzwald – EBENSPERGER BERLIN | Zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin | Contemporary Art | Ausstellungen Berlin Galerien | ART at Berlin

until 20.07. | #4731ARTatBerlin | Schindler LAB in Potsdam shows from Thursday, 10 July 2025 the duo exhibition WALDFLUCHT by the artists Alvar Beyer and Frauke Bohge. In the duo exhibition WALDFLUCHT, artists Alvar Beyer and Frauke Bohge present experimental works that explore the intersections of nature, memory, and imagination. WALDFLUCHT, Installationseinblick, © Künstler*innen / Galerie Schindler Frauke Bohge transforms an entire wall into a radiant dreamscape: treehouse chic crafted from twigs and childhood secrets, sparkling like a disco ball in the first morning light. Her large-scale installation becomes a hybrid zone — part sanctuary, part memory — a space ready to be hijacked, dismantled, or idolised by the next soul who encounters it. WALDFLUCHT, Installationseinblick, © Künstler*innen / Galerie Schindler Alvar Beyer creates a moody, cinematic atmosphere — a kind of “Forest Noir.” Charred roots resemble prehistoric jaws, a golden branch grows from the wall and waves like a taxi signal on the way to Sanssouci, while a snow-white trunk floats horizontally, counting its annual rings like a cosmic timeline. His sculptural work oscillates between real-world fragments and poetic intensities. WALDFLUCHT, Installationseinblick, © Alvar Beyer / Galerie Schindler WALDFLUCHT leads viewers through a terrain charged with forest metaphors, archaic […]

until 23.08. | #4754ARTatBerlin | Galerie Dittmar shows from Friday, 28. June 2025 the exhibition “Die Erfindung der Landschaft” by the artist Gottfried Salzmann. Gottfried Salzmann, born near Salzburg in 1943, has lived and worked in Paris since 1965. 1972 first prize for drawing Pierre David-Weill of the Institut de France, Paris, and Theodor Körner Prize in Vienna. 1982 major monograph by Walter Koschatzky, director of the Albertina in Vienna. In the same year, retrospective at the Albertina with catalogue. Also in 1982, monograph by Wieland Schmied on the charcoal and ink works. 2011 Awarded the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art. Extensive publications appeared in 2023 to mark the artist’s eightieth birthday, including a volume on his landscapes published by Edition Dittmar. Gottfried Salzmann opened up completely new scope for watercolour, charcoal and ink drawings. Art critics recognised their importance at an early stage; as early as the beginning of the seventies they were highly praised. In the course of his career, Salzmann developed new fields of activity and also thematised the urban landscape using photographic material and collage techniques, whereby the landscape remained a focal point of his work, even with the inclusion of new techniques. […]

until 03.08. | #4719ARTatBerlin | Galerie Sievi shows from 21st June 2025 (Opening: 20.06.) the exhibition Trois with works by the artists Edith Basseville, Cécile Luherne and Marie Javouhey. Cécile Luherne‘s paintings are unusual, very colourful and by no means minimalist and sober, as abstract painting can be. The colours explode, the forms are complex, no painting is easy to read. Nevertheless, this is the path she has recently embarked upon as an artist. Edith Basseville, courtesy of Galerie Sievi For several years now, Edith Basseville has been incorporating considerations of economy of means and material recovery into her process. This circular process, which is both aesthetic and committed, gives rise to works that carry within them a memory of gesture and place. Marie Javouhey, courtesy of Galerie Sievi Marie Javouhey, the cheerful colours and the lightness of the lines give the pictorial narrative its positive mood. The pictorial worlds are undefined, drawing the viewer into a subtle world.

until 29.06. | #4722ARTatBerlin | aquabitArt Galerie shows from Friday, 20. June 2025 the exhibition “What does it mean to be inside of something?” by the artist Gabi Schillig. In her work, Gabi Schillig experimentally investigates space and architecture as extensions of the living body – as responsive, dynamic communication media. Space is not static or immobile, but alive and constantly evolving, deeply interwoven with human presence and physical experience. Bodies, spaces and actions are not separate entities, but interdependent and closely connected. At the centre of her work is the creation of soft, ephemeral architectures – textile shells, spatial structures, skins and sometimes almost immaterial membranes – that question rigid spatial boundaries Gabi Schillig – What Does It Mean to be Inside of Something? (Kyoto, 2025), w/ Asami Yasumoto + Kanami Itakura / Foto: Hee-Hee /w/ distant realities These soft architectures act as spatial mediators, transforming interiors and exteriors into fluid, permeable zones. They invite tactile and embodied dialogues and enable new ways of being in space – from digital imaginary drawings, photography, spatial installations, performances and videos to woven textiles. Softness is a powerful spatial, material, and social concept. It enables adaptability, malleability, and resonance. It embodies fragility, […]

until 09.08. | #4716ARTatBerlin |WENTRUP presents from Saturday, 14th June 2025 the exhibition „In touch“ by the artist Mary Mary Ramsden. The artist’s studio is a place not only cloaked in myth but also strictly guarded by bouncers who will not hesitate to kick you out if it’s getting too crowded in there. Sometimes artist, bouncer and viewer happen to be the same person, with comical effects worthy of Baron Münchhausen, who famously pulled himself out of the mud by his own hair. Let me remind you of Philipp Guston’s often-quoted version of such self-referential gymnastics: »When you’re in the studio painting, there are a lot of people in there with you – your teachers, friends, painters from history, critics… and one by one, if you’re really painting, they walk out. And if you’re really painting YOU walk out.« What gets easily lost when summoning the cliché of the (often male) reclusive bouncer-painter is the triadic topology invoked in Guston’s quote. All the people in the room can only walk out because the studio is not a walled bunker or a cave in the desert, but a room with a door. The difference, to put it with Georg Simmel, is […]

until 18.07. | #4714ARTatBerlin | Galerie Michael Haas shows from Saturday, 14. June 2025 (Opening: 13.06.) the exhibition “Auctions” by the artist Frank Gerritz. Opening: Friday, 13.

until 30.08. | #4710ARTatBerlin | DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM shows from 04th July 2025 the solo exhibition „Paradise“ by the artist Navot Miller. Miller presents a new series of paintings ranging from large-scale to intimate works alongside a colorful architectural intervention. For the first time in the artist’s practice, there will be a theatrical reveal at 7 PM, during which the covered paintings will be unveiled and made available for public viewing. © Navot Miller, Eli in Berry St., 2025 The exhibition unfolds through portraits, urban scenes, and intimate exchanges. Echoes of Edward Hopper’s quiet tension run throughout the series. The conceptual center of Paradise consists of two fresh anecdotes in Miller’s life—a recent romantic relationship with a person and a departure from a place he considers home: Berlin. Miller’s approach to both Eliezer and Berlin is filled with warmth, humor, and eventual heartbreak. Their story infuses the paintings. Here, longing is not failure, but a sign of being alive—a theme also touched on in Olivia Laing’s The Lonely City. Opening: Friday, 4th July 2025, 6:00 – 8:00 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 4 th July until Saturday, 30 th August 2025     Image caption title: © Navot Miller, 3 boys […]

until 12.07. | #4707ARTatBerlin | Galerie Esther Schipper shows from 13. June 2025 the solo exhibition “Out of the Blue” by the artist Roman Ondak. Esther Schipper presents Out of the Blue, Roman Ondak’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The presentation features sculptures and photographic works with various interventions. The exhibition centers around the color blue, which is historically associated with melancholy, and includes works that reference personal moments, memories, and historical contexts. Each work incorporates different shades of blue. One of the works on view is Crossword I (2025), the first in a new series. It features a reprinted archival photograph over which the artist has painted a light blue crossword puzzle. The image depicts a quarry and comes from the archives of a company where Ondak’s father once worked. The crossword puzzle, originating from the post-World War II era, includes elements of socialist propaganda, linking personal and national history. Maja in Blue (2025) is based on a 1998 photograph of the artist’s wife. It shows a woman in a small bathtub, her body submerged beneath the water. The blue tones dominate the composition, and the close framing, along with the grid of surrounding tiles, creates a contained […]

until 15.06. | #4704ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schwind currently shows since 9th March 2025 the solo exhibition ‘Jenseits des Sichtbaren’ by the artist Michael Triegel. Masterpieces in Aachen The Suermondt-Ludwig Museum in Aachen is staging a retrospective exhibition featuring around 75 works by Michael Triegel (*1968, Erfurt). Michael Triegel is regarded as one of the most prominent contemporary artists. His works – including altarpieces, portraits, still lifes and landscape watercolours – combine traditional painting techniques with a critical engagement with art history. He draws inspiration from the Italian Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Spanish Baroque. Triegel incorporates and interprets motifs from classical mythology, biblical salvation history, and cultural-historical sources. His glazing technique merges classical painting methods with modern subject matter. He describes his approach as follows: “My game is precisely to assert the Old Master at first glance – and then gradually undermine that initial impression.” The exhibition spans Triegel’s work from large-scale pieces of the 1990s to his most recent painting Young Man from Procida (2025), which brings together medieval pictorial traditions, lived religious practice, and contemporary portraiture. The show offers an opportunity to explore the artist’s diverse body of work and to appreciate both his technique and his treatment of […]

until 14.06. | #4720ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 shows from 22. May 2025 an exhibition by the artist Andi Schmölzer. All works are created by listening to this music. The concept is based on the aesthetic freedom of jazz. Jazz is the music of protest, tolerance and humanity, the unmistakable, personal expression of the individual. Jazz emphasizes the essential things: the real instead of the artificial, the content instead of the external form, honesty instead of pathos, ethics instead of aesthetics. They are somersaults from the mind: painted with cheeky naivety, figures that stroll through the pictures and through our heads. Vernissage: Thursday, 22. May 2025, from 7 to 10 pm Exhibition period: Thursday, 22. May – Saturday 14. June 2025     Image caption: Andi Schmölzer, Courtesy: Galerie Z22.

until 07.06. | #4699ARTatBerlin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne shows from Friday, 16. May 2025 an exhibition by the artist Johannes Regin in the backstage of the gallery. Johannes Regin’s works are based on the precise placement of dot patterns, which are applied in several layers on top of each other. This creates grids with minimal variations that indicate shifts in tension in the rhythm. Older traces of colour and traces of drawing are visible in the works, indicating the found material used. The structural arrangement appears uniform, but reveals a multitude of creative details. In the current work phase, the dots are placed two or three times on top of each other. The working process requires concentration and a conscious examination of the material. Regin uses found objects, the surfaces of which he works on by drawing, painting, engraving, punching or chiselling. The choice of colours and techniques is deliberate, often with more accentuated tones at the edges. Colour overlays complement the visual effect. The result is a differentiated structure that combines creative stability with openness to change. Born in Neubrandenburg in 1986, Johannes Regin lives and works in Berlin and Spechthausen. He studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee from 2007 […]

until 27.06. | #4695 ARTatBerlin | DUVE BERLIN currently shows the exhibition „An egg in the pocket“ by the artist Lula Broglio. Lula Broglio (1993 in Imperia, Italy) lives and works in Biella. She studied Painting at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, where she completed her undergraduate studies in 2015 and later obtained a Master’s degree in finer arts in 2018.. In 2015, she co-founded Spaziobuonasera (an artist-run space in Turin); in 2017, Club Pineta (an artist residency). Over the past five years, Lula Broglio has exhibited her work in numerous national and international galleries and institutions, including: Post fair with Tureen Dallas (Los Angeles, 2025), Nevven (Göteborg, 2024) Museo della Sapienza (Rome, 2024), Salotto Studio (Milan, 2023), GOBEN X GU11 (Cologne, 2023), Castello di Rivoli (Turin, 2023), Fondazione Pino Pascali (Polignano a Mare, 2022), Amanita (S’chanf, 2022), Palazzina (Basel, 2021), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin, 2021), Fondazione Smart (Rome, 2021), and Basis (Frankfurt, 2018). One day, a bird laid a paintbrush on a pair of knees. The brush was slipped into a pocket and turned into an egg. Nothing extraordinary — the pocket became a nest, and the step an ancient rhythm, lulling it.  The egg […]

at 04.05. | #4693ARTatBerlin |Galerie Eigenheim Berlin shows on Sunday, 04 May 2025 a one-day exhibition with the title Frühlingsfest zum Gallery Weekend Berlin. Spring revitalises the senses, Berlin invites you to a big art weekend – and the EIGENHEIM gallery is taking part with a spring festival on Sunday in the studio of photographer Nina Röder. The studio is located in the immediate vicinity of Berlin’s main railway station and offers a wildly romantic atmosphere for art lovers. A selection of new works by EIGENHEIM artists Gökçen Dilek Acay, Anna Bittersohl, Frederik Foert, Enrico Freitag, Nina Röder and Lars Wild will be on display. Visitors will also get an insight into the current exhibition at Galerie EIGENHEIM Weimar with sculptures by Stefan Böhm and paintings by Stephan Dill. The programme begins on Sunday, 4 May 2025 at 11 a.m. with a Mediterranean brunch, a selection of drinks, relaxed music and discussions with the artists present.

Galerie EIGENHEIM is looking forward to welcoming numerous guests and to a Sunday full of art enjoyment. Spring festival date: Sunday, 04 May 2025, from 11 am to 7 […]

until 07.06. | #4673ARTatBerlin | Galerie Georg Nothelfer shows from 02. May 2025 (Opening: 30.04.) the exhibition INK with works by the artists Henri Michaux, Walter Stöhrer, Britta Lumer, Oliver Thie, Andrey Klassen, Walter Menne and Toni Mauersberg. Galerie Nothelfer presents seven artistic positions on the subject of ink drawings. On display are historical works from the post-war period as well as contemporary works that offer an overview of the medium. The INK exhibition uses ink as a curatorial leitmotif. The aim is to view the material as an independent carrier of discursive aspects and to unite both historical and process-related elements without creating conflicts between form, material and content. Under the title INK, works on paper and other image carriers are shown that cover a period of sixty years. The exhibition thus combines the informal basis of the gallery programme with current positions. Henri Michaux, Untitled, 1962, Mixed media/Arches/Velin, 74,8 x 106,1 cm In art history, the term ‘ink’ covers all colouring liquids used for writing and drawing. The usual components are water, carbon black particles and binding agents. There are also natural sepia inks made from cuttlefish and iron gall inks, which are created through chemical reactions. Due […]

until 31.05. | #4688ARTatBerlin | Galerie alexander levy shows from 02. May 2025 the exhibition Inhale Exhale by the artist Noémie Goudal. Addressing the challenges inherent in her work, Noémie Goudal engages in a dizzying exercise: through the prism of paleoclimatology, how can we comprehend a world in motion – a reality that runs counter to contemporary conceptions of our planet as a fixed entity, with neatly defined continents and immutable borders? For the artist, this fundamental problem – the landscape in flux and our struggle to grasp it – is explored from a variety of vantage points, through photographic series, videos and immersive installations. What binds the works together is paleo-climatology, a compelling discipline that studies the past to better understand the future. Noémie Goudal draws on it as a foundation to craft the chapters of a visual epic; currently on view at the exhibition Inhale Exhale. IN EX HALE: a neon work presented on the gallery’s window repeats its title in a jolting rhythm, the two prefixes IN and EX alternately flickering on and off. This is no image of calm respiration: the light flares and stutters like a syncopated breath, an extrasystole. What does this restless breathing […]

until 29.05. | #4685ARTatBerlin | PSM Gallery shows from Friday, 02. May 2025 the Solo-exhibition “Between conformity and resistance” by the artist Almut Linde. Almut Linde’s work revolves around the right questions: whose voices are really heard, how is security defined in a society that attacks people’s rights, and what drives acts of destruction? Between Conformity and Resistance presents three early works that laid the foundation for her artistic path since the 1990s, including a reactivated participatory work alongside its original form. The series Dirty – Minimal #16.1 – Headrests Individualised by Vandalism (1997-2001) documents vandalised headrests on the tracks of the S-Bahn Hamburg Hbf – Ahrensburg, which Linde collected and photographed. In Dirty Minimal #9.1 – Postal Logistics Centre (1992), she captured the unnoticed, repetitive movements of postal workers and transformed functional processes into visual compositions. In 1994, Linde commissioned a survey on personal well-being that resulted in unique drawings depicting people’s responses in Dirty Minimal #12.1 – State of Being. This survey is now being reissued and invites visitors to reflect on how perceptions of safety have evolved over three decades. Linde has long scrutinised the social and institutional dynamics that marginalise groups of individuals, illuminating their actions […]

until 06.06. | #4682ARTatBerlin | KLEMM’S shows from 02. May 2025 the exhibition Spiral Diaries by the artist Leelee Chan. KLEMM’S presents the second solo exhibition Spiral Diaries, by Leelee Chan (b. 1984, Hong Kong) showcasing a brand new body of work for Gallery Weekend Berlin 2025. For her second exhibition with Klemm’s, Spiral Diaries, Chan presents a new body of dexterously layered sculptures featuring bronze, stone, glass, and metal elements, incorporating found natural and industrial materials. In this new body of works, she employs old-world artisanal practices, lost-wax bronze casting, and stone carving, together with technological advancements such as CNC milling, tempered glass, and 3D printed metal, giving the resulting sculptures both a classical and futuristic tone. In this new series, Chan readdresses elements that have structured her work over the years, such as shells, plastic egg packaging, or hex nuts. Interplaying their diverse physical properties and cultural meanings, Chan continues her investigation of materiality and layered temporality through her astute sensitivity to material objects and her deep reverence for process. In Spiral Diaries, the recurring motifs of natural forms, mollusks, plants, and whelk egg cases probe her perpetual fascination with the unsettling metamorphosis of the natural world, particularly the mollusk’s supreme resilience and their ability […]

until 21.06. | #4680ARTatBerlin | Crone Berlin shows from 02. May 2025 the exhibition Double Standard by the artist Anthony Goicolea. Crone Berlin is showing the exhibition “Double Standard” by New York artist Anthony Goicolea, as part of Gallery Weekend Berlin. On view are new paintings on canvas and Mylar in which Goicolea explores a theme that runs like a red thread through his entire body of work: the contradiction between inner and outer perception, the conflict between self-determination and external influence, the tension between societal norms and personal identity—resulting from diverse cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, or gender roles. Anthony Goicolea, Courtesy Crone Berlin Anthony Goicolea, born in 1971 as the son of Cuban immigrants in Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the most versatile contemporary artists of his generation. In the late 1990s, he gained recognition for his digital photo collages and video works, later focusing primarily on painting and installations. In 2018, he created the prominent LGBTQ+ Memorial in Hudson River Park, a monument commissioned by the City of New York to commemorate both the victims of the 2016 attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando and all others who have suffered violence due to their queer identities. In […]

until 15.06. | #4677ARTatBerlin | Loock Galerie presents from 02. May 2025 the exhibition Picnic on Paper by the artist Takehito Koganezawa. To mark 25 years of collaboration with Japanese artist Takehito Koganezawa, LOOCK Gallery is presenting Picnic on Paper, a solo exhibition featuring drawings, watercolors, and a video work. His work is currently included in In anderen Händen: Highlights der Sammlung Philara in der Miettinen Collection, Berlin (25.04.-27.07.2025) and will be shown in Takehito Koganezawa: Eins auf Zwei, Zwei aus Eins, a solo exhibition at the Humboldt Forum Berlin (24.05.–12.10.2025). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions made by the Museum für Asiatische Kunst and site-specific works by Koganezawa. Reflecting on past experiences and his artistic practice, Koganezawa recently stated: The earliest artwork I can recall was a drawing made with a ballpoint pen. Not a drawing in the usual sense—more a quiet ritual of motion. I drew ovals over and over until the paper began to break. The movement of my hand flowed through the pen, leaving behind lines—traces of a gesture, fixed on the surface. It felt like running laps on a track: breathless, focused, and strangely excited. I think I was trying to touch the feeling itself. There was wonder in how a physical act could stay in material, […]

until 14.06. | #4668ARTatBerlin | Russi Klenner shows from Saturday, 03. May 2025 (Opening 02.05.) the exhibition Eclipsed Echoes by the artist Hamid Yaraghchi. This series of paintings aims to depict the subjectivity of the experience of sound in particular musical performance situations: Music and Emotion. From the perspective of the listener, Yaraghchi interprets performance as a static visual form designed to explore contrasting emotional states – combining beauty and pleasure with moments of melancholic irritation. Through carefully conceived visual compositions, the audience is invited to cross the threshold from viewing to listening and finally to performing, fully engaging with this intimate atmosphere. Music-making is understood as an act of connection with the universal. The artist captures not only the physicality of the musicians – their gestures, their passion and their vulnerability – but also the emotional nuances that permeate the performance. Opening: Friday, 02. May 2025, at 7 pm Exhibition date: Saturday, 03. May to Saturday, 14.

bis 28.06. | #4664ARTatBerlin | EBENSPERGER BERLIN  shows from 3rd May 2025 (Vernissage 02.05.) the exhibition „Elektronikfilme“ by the artist Ludwig Schönherr. With his Elektronikfilme, Schönherr was an early explorer of television’s visual language as an artistic medium. In this series, he filmed individual television images, interspersed with flickering colours, creating a unique aesthetic that oscillates between experimental cinema, Fluxus, and pop culture. These works mark the beginning of a lifelong engagement with the omnipresence of television and the aesthetics of mass media imagery. „Life on television is far more interesting than real life outside.“ Ludwig Schönherr, Electronic No. 18 (Series Red), 1968, Super 8, silent, 28´, Although Schönherr’s works defy clear categorisation—neither purely structuralist nor merely pop—they possess a striking timelessness. His art remained largely undiscovered for years, partly due to his modesty, partly because it resists conventional classification. This exhibition is dedicated to his visionary body of work and invites audiences to rediscover the hypnotic visual language of his Elektronikfilme. Opening: Friday, 2nd May 2025, 6-9 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 2nd May until Saturday, 28th June 2025     Title image caption: Ludwig Schönherr, Electronic No. 18 (Series Red), 1968, Super 8, silent, 28´, Exhibition Ludwig Schönherr – EBENSPERGER BERLIN | Zeitgenössische Kunst […]

until 28.06. | #4661ARTatBerlin | EBENSPERGER BERLIN shows from 3rd May 2025 (Vernissage 02.05.) the exhibition „Holographic Universe“ by the artists Bonnie Camplin and Beatrice Brown. The Holographic Universe is a duo exhibition and the result of a three-year research collaboration between Beatrice Brown and Bonnie Camplin. In an ongoing, intimate dialogue, the two artists explore the fluidity of reality through psionic protocols, amnesiac retrieval methods, and speculative fiction. Their shared practice moves between artistic research, non-linear thinking, and alternative models of consciousness—always with the aim of challenging dominant paradigms and opening up new spaces of experience. The exhibition also marks Brown’s first major presentation in Berlin. Opening: Friday, 2nd May 2025, 6-9 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 2nd May until Saturday, 28th June 2025     Title image caption: Bonnie Camplin, Every Woman has a Stargate in Her Knickers, 2018, Duraprint , 64×63 cm Exhibition Bonnie Camplin + Beatrice Brown – EBENSPERGER BERLIN | Zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin | Contemporary Art | ExhibitionsBerlin Galleries | ART at Berlin

until 21.06. | #4659ARTatBerlin | Galerie Barbara Thumm shows from 03. May 2025 (Opening: 02.05.) the exhibition Spleen by the artist Roméo Mivekannin. Galerie Barbara Thumm presents Roméo Mivekannin’s second solo exhibition at the gallery for this year’s Gallery Weekend. Mivekannin deals with the works of European painters such as Jean-Léon Gérôme or Eugène Delacroix, who depicted the ‘Orient’ in staged scenes and often showed women and objects as eroticised representations or symbols of submission. Mivekannin precisely adopts the design elements of the original paintings, including architectural references, geometric patterns, plant ornaments and textile representations. Mivekannin’s free-hanging canvases are created on old bed sheets, which are part of his artistic practice. The sheets are treated in liquids whose composition is inspired by rituals steeped in the tradition of the Kingdom of Dahomey (present-day Benin). Galerie Barbara Thumm will present one of Mivekannin’s first sculptural installations in collaboration with Cécile Fakhoury at Art Basel Unlimited this year. The artist is currently represented with two solo exhibitions at the Musée du Louvre-Lens and the Collezione Maramotti. Opening: Friday, 02 May 2025, 6 – 9 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 03 May – Saturday, 21 June 2025 Gallery Weekend Berlin: Saturday, 3 May: 11 […]

until 16.08. | #4656ARTatBerlin | neugerriemschneider (linienstrasse) shows from 03. May 2025 (Opening: 02.03.) the group exhibition „advective motion, nebulous currents“ by the artists Ai Weiwei, Isa Genzken, Louise Lawler, Sharon Lockhart, Tomás Saraceno, Simon Starling, Tobias Rehberger, Shilpa Gupta, Mario García Torres, Thomas Bayrle, Pae White, Andreas Eriksson. The group exhibition advective motion, nebulous currents takes obfuscation as its focus, with narratives dissolved behind fog, distorted, streaked, rippled and pixelated in transformative actions, or softened to blurs. Here, in sculptures, photographs, prints and textiles, the rigidity of an articulated image dissipates and reality becomes malleable — undefinable and fleeting. As compositions meld in on themselves, perception reconfigures to scenes dreamlike and surreal, with afterimages, reverberations and ambient fluidity reflecting the ambiguities of modern existence. Ai Weiwei – Nord Stream, 2022Ai Weiwei’s Nord Stream (2022) uses a photograph of the whirlpool resulting from a ruptured Nord Stream 2 natural-gas pipeline, taken by the Danish Ministry of Defense, as the base for its large-scale iteration in pixel-like Lego bricks, creating a link between the source and its wide-spread presence across digital media. Captured southeast of the Danish island of Bornholm on September 27, 2022, a day after the leak began, the […]

until 21.06. | #4653ARTatBerlin | Galerie kajetan Berlin shows from Saturday, 26 April 2025 (Opening: 25.04.) the exhibition A Pause in Process by the artist Bettina Blohm. Gallery kajetan is pleased to present A Pause in Process, the second solo exhibition of artist Bettina Blohm (*1961), who lives and works between New York and Berlin. On view are large-scale paintings and one drawing from the years 2019 to 2025, characterized by an abstract visual language with a geometric sensibility. Implied grids, serial — mostly square — forms, and multilayered color modulations shape Blohm’s painterly vocabulary. The exhibition title already hints at a central aspect of her practice: the pause within an open working process and the resulting shifts in compositional development that become the actual subject of her work. Bettina Blohm, A Pause in Process, Ausstellungsansicht / Exhibition view 2025, Courtesy the artist & Galerie kajetan, Photo: Marcus Schneider The exhibition opens with the painting Ascension (2023), presented in dialogue with the drawing From the Series: Veronica (2023). These two works enter into a tension-filled exchange and provide a compelling introduction to Blohm’s multifaceted visual language. The square-format painting Ascension appears to move vertically upwards: deep black rectangles, marked with traces […]

until 14.06. | #4644ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 presents from 1st May 2025 (Vernissage: 02.05.) the exhibition „My desire, my dream, my despair“ by the Italian artist collective Numero Cromatico. On the occasion of Gallery Weekend 2025, AOA;87 is opening the exhibition „My desire, my dream, my despair“ by the Italian artist collective Numero Cromatico, which provides an insight into their latest artistic research. The exhibition presents three series of artworks that dialogue with each other through form, language and colour, offering the public an immersive experience: crossable curtains, luminous pieces and tapestries, artworks that activate the public on several sensory levels. Numero Cromatico, Words are always the object of love, 2023, Arazzi, handgefertigter Wandteppich aus Wolle auf Holzplatte, 50 x 70 cm, Photo: Numero Cromatico Is the exhibition, entitled My desire, my dream, my despair, a declaration of the artists’ love for art or for the public? Or is it a tool that Numero Cromatico offers the spectator to investigate their deepest feelings and bring them to consciousness? The only way to understand this is to experience the artworks and the exhibition space designed ad hoc by the Italian collective.

until 04.06. | #4640ARTatBerlin | Max Hetzler Gallery (Bleibtreustraße 45) presents from 1st May 2025 the exhibition by the artist Sergey Kononov. Galerie Max Hetzler is showing an exhibition of ten paintings by Sergey Kononov at Bleibtreustraße 45 in Berlin. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. In his intimate portraits, Ukrainian painter Sergey Kononov captures quiet moments of solitude or togetherness. Light-drenched and pooled in grainy, ochre tones, Kononov’s canvases exude a tenderness and familiarity reminiscent of a bygone era, thus probing the conventions of realist painting. ‘It’s important for me to capture a luminosity. I want to recreate the look of old films – that grain, that warm light – which I’ve loved my whole life,’ the artist explains.1 In the present exhibition, three closely cropped portraits depict faces obscured by cascading locks of golden hair. Subsumed in their inner selves, eyes closed or cast downward in martyr-like poses, Kononov’s subjects are imbued with the immediacy of photographic snapshots and the timelessness of ancient frescoes. In other compositions, Kononov presents lingering glimpses of domestic solitude. A girl falls asleep in the study of an Italian palazzo, slumped over an open book. In another painting, she languidly […]

until 28.06. | #4637ARTatBerlin | BBA Gallery shows from 2nd May 2025 (Vernissage: 30.04.) the exhibition „IMAGEMAKER“ by the artist Katsutoshi Yuasa.

until 17.05. | #4634ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner shows from the 05. April 2025 (Opening: 04.04.) the exhibition “nichtsdestotrotz” by the artist Elisa Manig. Belts, handles, holders and barriers. In Elisa Manig’s current works, seemingly realised safety concepts meet tangible limitations and restrictions – only to be revealed as something completely different in the next moment. Our notions of flowing sequences, physical processes and order are repeatedly undermined by the artist’s objects. What just seemed familiar and functional turns out to be an illusion that distorts, irritates and humorously outrages. In Elisa Manig’s absurd universe of devices, we are repeatedly thrown back on our expectations and demands on the world around us, confronted with challenges and forced to think in a completely new way; a good exercise for the worst-case scenario… About Elisa Manig  The artist Elisa Manig lives in Hamburg and was born in 1987 in Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitz). She began her studies of fine art at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts in Kiel in 2011 and continued at the HfBK Dresden in 2014. She graduated in 2018 as a master student (Meisterschülerin) of Monika Brandmeier. In the same year, she received the Saxon State Scholarship. Her work has already been […]

until 14.06. | #4627ARTatBerlin | Galerie Judin shows from 2nd May 2025 the exhibition „Bombois de Anholt“. Participating artists:: Catherine Anholt, Tom Anholt, Sara Anstis, Emmanuel Bornstein, Ian Davis, Thomas Delaroziere, Andriu Deplazes, Louis Fratino, Georgina Gratrix, Hortensia Mi Kafchin, Ryan Mosley, Minyoung Kim, Simphiwe Ndzube, Magdalena Shummer-Fangor, Esther Pearl Watson. Curated by Tom Anholt. Camille Bombois (French, 1883–1970) is one of the most storied unknowns of French art in the 20th century. A weightlifter and wrestler, who performed in the circus, and tugged  boats for a living, he became a self-taught painter at an advanced age. He sold his paintings, mostly small formats, on the banks of the Seine in Paris. In 1924, the famous art critic and dealer Wilhelm Uhde took notice of Bombois – allegedly after receiving a hint from his friend Pablo Picasso – and helped him to his first gallery appearance. By 1938, Bombois was canonical enough to be included in “Masters of Popular painting”, a momentous group exhibtion in New York’s MoMA. And in 1955, his work was presented at the “documenta 1” in Kassel. It was the modernity and individuality of expression that had captivated Picasso and his peers – and it has […]

until 07.06. | #4626ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin shows from 2nd May 2025 the exhibition „La Bocca di Berlino“ by the artist Samorì . Central to Nicola Samorì’s work is the idea that the most visceral way to ignite the experience of pleasure in art is by the shock of cruel depictions that get under the skin, an aspect of human nature that has intensely occupied art theory since antiquity. Samorì’s painstaking painterly handling of the epidermis of baroque images creates a sensuously dense foil for his artistic probing of the emotional and aesthetic depths of this unsettling subject.[…] Exerpt from the exhibition text by Nicola Suthor / Yale University Translation by Lisa Lawrence Opening: Friday, 2nd May 2025, 6 – 9 pm.

until 19.04. | #4622ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts currently shows a Solo-exhibition by the artist Bernd Koberling. As one of the few native Berliners (born in 1938), Koberling has never shown any interest in the themes of the big city. His northern landscapes and sceneries are created in Berlin, from which he repeatedly escapes by travelling to Iceland, Scotland and Lapland. Volcanic spaces, block lava rock, cormorants, breeders, landscapes, beach workers, whales and metamorphoses – these themes seem to be far removed from the reality of the big city. He contrasts the dominant urban world with the self-contained, always self-explanatory reality of nature. It is the immediate nature that can be experienced better in the Arctic regions than in the areas that have been transformed by man. And yet: doesn’t a painter today pay homage to escapism by depicting poppies, cormorants, whales or estuaries in the big city? The question is directed at the questioner himself, because it could be that escapism is the only salvation for people trying to survive in the complex metropolis. Koberling therefore affirms conscious escapism; the ivory tower also has a positive function, insofar as it offers individuals the chance to get closer to the […]
