Olaf Heine | Rwandan Daughters | Outdoor Gallery
Until mid-April 2021, a total of 160 metres of Olaf Heine’s photo exhibition entitled Rwandan Daughters could be seen in the open air in Berlin, including in Köpenicker Straße in Mitte/Kreuzberg. The story of Rwanda went around the world. 27 years ago, on 7 April 1994, Hutu militias in Rwanda initiated a genocide from which the entire world looked away in unison. Over one million innocent people fell victim to the killings, hundreds of thousands of women were raped. Many of the victims are still psychologically and physically traumatised today and live on the fringes of Rwanda’s now prosperous society. The daughters conceived in the genocide, together with their mothers, were portrayed poignantly and powerfully by the internationally renowned photographer Olaf Heine. … Read the article further on DEEDS.WORLD.

On the death of June Newton alias Alice Springs | 1923-2021
The award-winning actress and photographer June Newton aka Alice Springs, widow of the world-famous photographer Helmut Newton, died on 9 April 2021 at the age of 97 in her home in Monte Carlo. Alice Springs had initiated the Berlin-Charlottenburg-based Museum of Photography together with her husband in the early 2000s and was president of the Helmut Newton Foundation. “The Board of Directors and the entire team of the Helmut Newton Foundation mourn the loss of a generous person and a photographer of international renown,” reads the announcement on the artist’s death. Alice Springs was born June Browne in Melbourne, Australia, in 1923. After school, she trained as an actress and had numerous engagements under the pseudonym June Brunell. In 1947 she met Helmut Newton, who had just set up a photo studio in Melbourne, and married him a year later. In 1956, she was awarded the Australian Erik Kuttner Award for best theatre actress. In the same year, the Newtons moved to London, where Helmut worked for British … Read the article further on DEEDS.WORLD.

In addition to making an appointment, visitors must present a negative Covid test, up-to-date for the day, before entering.

SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS IN MUSEUMS
Decadence and Digital Dreams | Virtual Exhibition on Belgian Symbolism | Alte Nationalgalerie | Live Tours on 08.04. + 16.04.2021
The Alte Nationalgalerie is currently presenting the virtual exhibition Decadence and Digital Dreams, an exhibition on Belgian Symbolism. The exhibition was originally scheduled to run from 18 September 2020 to 17 January 2021 and can now be visited online free of charge. There will also be 20-minute live tours of one of the main works in the Alte Nationalgalerie on 8 and 16 April at 6pm each, which can be viewed live on the National Museums in Berlin’s Instagram channel. The large-scale special exhibition “Decadence and Dark Dreams. Belgian Symbolism”, which could only be shown for a short time in the Alte Nationalgalerie due to its closure for corona reasons, can now be visited virtually in a high-resolution 360-degree tour: The lustful gaze of an oversaturated society into the abyss, the morbid allure between Thanatos and Eros are thematic fields in art that found expression at the end of the 19th century, especially in Belgian Symbolism. The exhibition, which for corona reasons could only be shown at the Alte Nationalgalerie from 18 September to 2 November 2020, traces the art movement of the fin-de-siecle with around 200 works by more than 30 artists – including masterpieces by Fernand Khnopff, Leon […]

Yael Bartana | Redemption Now | Jüdisches Museum Berlin | 26.04.-10.10.2021
From 26 April 2021, the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB) will present Yael Bartana – Redemption Now. This large-scale solo exhibition of the contemporary artist Yael Bartana investigates the power of imagination and art’s redemptive potential. For more than twenty years, Bartana has been inquiring into grand historical narratives that help to constitute national and other collective identities. Curators: Dr. Shelley Harten und Dr. Gregor H. Lersch. The show brings together more than fifty early and more recent works, including video installations, photographs, and neon works. The exhibition follows an eschatological topos—the recurring idea that a leader may bring salvation—and its deconstruction. At the core of the show is the commissioned video work Malka Germania (Hebrew for “Queen Germania”), which Bartana conceived for the Jewish Museum Berlin and produced at historically charged locations across Berlin. An androgynous savior figure comes to the German capital. Her journey floods the city with scenes from an imagined collective unconscious; past and future merge in an alternative present. The installation’s theme of collective redemption addresses traumata, hopes of salvation, and the desire for change. Yael Bartana’s works have been exhibited worldwide and form part of international collections. She is known for exploring the visual languages […]

Virtual tour through Gemäldegalerie | 58 rooms, 112 panoramas, 1,200 art works
Following the Bode Museum, the Gemäldegalerie can now also be explored digitally in its entirety and in two languages – in a high-resolution 360° tour that covers 58 rooms, 112 panoramas and around 1,200 works of art with a wealth of background information. The National Museums in Berlin are thus publishing another virtual tour of one of their museum collections. The virtual tour is deliberately oriented towards the museum tour on site and enables a realistic spatial impression of the Gemäldegalerie. Even when visiting the museum digitally from home, exciting cross-connections and axes of vision open up. “I am delighted that we can now make the Gemäldegalerie’s collection, in all its splendour and significance, accessible to art enthusiasts all over the world,” says Michael Eissenhauer, Director General of the National Museums in Berlin. “For the first time, this digital offering not only presents all the exhibited works and explains them with background information, but also places them in a comprehensible context in terms of content.” Julien Chapuis, Director of the Gemäldegalerie and Skulpturensammlung, continues: “This elaborate project would not have been possible without the close collegial cooperation between the Gemäldegalerie and the Kaiser Friedrich Museumsverein. Our thanks go in particular […]

Matias Bechtold + Louise Bristow | Laura Mars Gallery | 17.04.-29.05.2021
until 29.05.| #3023ARTatBerlin | Laura Mars Gallery shows from 17th April 2021 a duo show with the presentations “Museum Müm” by the artist Matias Bechtold and “European Park” by the artist Louise Bristow. The joint exhibition by Louise Bristow and Matias Bechtold offers a synopsis of the respective miniature worlds that both artists have been working on for a long time. Louise Bristow composes landscape-format oil paintings on the basis of self-made models and various pictorial models. In trompe-l’œil-like table or stage situations, heterogeneous pictorial ‘personnel’ meet: photographs and reproductions that function quasi as stage sets in the background, patterned prints as well as architectural models and imaginatively designed stereometric bodies. Scenic details of children’s playgrounds are often recognisable, whereby the evocation of the sphere of carefree play is often motifically juxtaposed with the working world of adults. In addition, there are cultural artefacts from the past: the spectrum ranges from prehistoric hand wedges to folkloristic-looking objects to post-war design, Soviet monumental sculpture and modernist architecture. Louise Bristow, European Park, 2020, oil on wood panel, 40 x 80 cm Heirlooms from past epochs, soberly recorded in painting, are also to be found in the picture European Park, painted in 2020 […]

Raymond Hains | Solo Show | Galerie Max Hetzler | April – June 2021
until June | #3021ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler presents as of April 2021 at the gallery in Bleibtreustraße 45 and in the Window Gallery at Goethestraße 2/3 a solo show with works by the artist Raymond Hains. The exhibition is visible through the window front or can be visited by appointment. A central figure in post-war French art, Raymond Hains developed a complex artistic universe that playfully takes up elements of the real world and explores the visual and metaphorical possibilities of linguistic systems. Known in the late 1940s primarily for his works with torn posters, the “Affiches lacérées” and later the “Palissades”, Hains plays in his work with verbal and visual associations, the reference to historical moments and reflects central elements of the emerging consumer society of his time. Along with artists such as Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely and Jean Villeglé, Hains was one of the founding members of Nouveau Réalisme, the French counterpart to Pop Art that emerged in 1960 and sought to reshape the relationship between art and life. Despite the short-lived nature of this group, which emerged in an earlier phase of Hains’ artistic career, the dualism between artistic tradition and popular culture accompanied him throughout […]

Rebecca Horn | Galerie Thomas Schulte | 28.04.-26.06.2021
until 26.06.| #3019ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte presents from 28th April 2021 on the occasion of this year’s Gallery Weekend a solo show with works by the artist Rebecca Horn. Alongside current works, two of the artist’s best-known kinetic installations from the 1990s will be shown, Bee’s Planetary Map (1998) and Der Turm der Namenlosen (1994). Thomas Schulte’s first exhibition ever opened the gallery in April 1991 with Rebecca Horn’s installation Chor der Heuschrecken in Berlin-Charlottenburg. On the occasion of the gallery’s 30th anniversary and many joint projects later, the gallery continues its collaboration with one of the most important living German artists. In 1991, Rebecca Horn had created her work Chor der Heuschrecken I, II for Galerie Thomas Schulte. This was the first sculptural choreography that connected two rooms, later two places, in a landscape-like manner and became form-determining for her work. Insects with their love passions between life and death, their spatial sensations and their seismographic perception also became leitmotifs of her work from then on. Bees, with their art of transforming substances and building habitats, belong to this theme. Bee’s Planetary Map (1998) belongs to the group of works of site-specific but not site-bound spatial compositions. Just […]

In “All the Beautiful Beings” Carolina Amaya and Danielle Benvenuto join forces to celebrate life.

Dawit Abebe | Long Hands | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin | 30.04.-29.05.2021
until 29.05. | #3016ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Berlin shows from 30th April 2021 the solo show Long Hands by the artist Dawit Abebe. Monstrous, oversized arms loom over crowds of small people against a backdrop of children’s sketches and pages torn from exercise books. These striking scenes are the newest additions to Dawit Abebe’s ongoing ‘Long Hand’ series, which revolves around the Ethiopian expression of “having long hands” (ረጅም እጆች), referring to individuals who have widespread influence over groups of people. Presented in a solo exhibition at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Berlin, this latest collection of artworks continues Abebe’s investigations into how our identities and belief systems are established, manipulated or obliterated by dominating powers, with a particular focus on the foundation and dissemination of knowledge. `Historically, it is known that Ethiopia was never colonised. However, this has not prevented the country from being exploited by neocolonialism,’ he explains. ‘We have gradually given into the domination of the Western systems, abandoning our own customs and knowledge, which would have been important assets to preserve for the world at large. Without realising, we have become puppets; we move, talk, eat, act and react according to the formula that has been prepared for […]

ERROR EXPLANATION | Group Show | 68 projects | 29.04.-19.06.2021
until 19.06. | #3015ARTatBerlin | 68 projects presents from 29th April 2021 the group show ERROR EXPLANATION with works by the artist Ivana de Vivanco, Sally Kindberg and Paris Giachoustidis. 68projects is pleased to present the group exhibition “Error Explanation” with works by Ivana de Vivanco, Sally Kindberg and Paris Giachoustidis. Experimenting with contemporary figurative painting in different ways, each artist provokes a discourse about the history of humanity and the absurdity of our times. Satirical, theatrical and comical in nature – humor plays a key role in the works presented. They offer a complex examination of present-day life, seen through a whimsical lens, which places the viewer into a seductive perspective from which the ridiculous and civilized can be examined. Through “Error Explanation” the artists thus explore societal “errors” in an attempt to better understand and redirect our collective notion of the world today and of history. In doing so, they tackle issues of gender conformity, high and low brow culture, capitalism as well as colonial pasts. In the works of Ivana de Vivanco we are presented with a complete reversal of roles – female characters sit center stage with decisive gazes and a powerful presence as representatives of Western colonial history find […]

Malte Bartsch | Investment | EIGEN + ART Lab | 15.04.-15.05.2021
until 15.05. | #3014ARTatBerlin | EIGEN + ART Lab presents from 15th April 2021 the solo show Investment by the artist Malte Bartsch. In the past there was not necessarily more tinsel, but more noise and more fire. Cars were buzzing, cigarettes were glowing, fireworks exploded. This was probably not particularly wise, healthy or sustainable, and not everything was better in the past. This much is certain. Nevertheless, this noise-making is also a way of expressing one’s joy at the mere fact that one is inexplicably alive. What happens when nothing glows any more because the e-cigarette (recently: tobacco heater) with blueberry flavor no longer burns anything crackling but only heats it moderately, when the Tesla glides silently through a frigid world and when the fireworks are consumed digitally via a screen instead of blowing up a proper bang and sulphur smell? That these things will be reduced in the future is pleasing. Because it is reasonable and because it will ensure a cleaner and healthier future. One that leaves a better world for generations to come. Yet the silence in which the present slowly begins to mantle itself also disguises its functionalities, the present is lost in empty speculations […]

Markus Selg | MIND IN THE CAVE | Guido W. Baudach | 27.03.-17.04.2021
until 17.04. | #3012ARTatBerlin | Galerie Guido W. Baudach currently shows the solo exhibition “MIND IN THE CAVE” with works by the artist Markus Selg. Galerie Guido W. Baudach is delighted to present its eighth solo exhibition of new works by Markus Selg. Selg is one of the pioneers of digital art in Germany. Since the 1990s, the Berlin-based artist has been using the possibilities of the computer to create paintings, sculptures, videos and sounds; parts of a complete work that he likes to bring together in parcours-like, multimedia spatial installations. In recent years, he has increasingly transferred this approach to the theater stage in collaboration with theater director Susanne Kennedy. In the exhibition MIND IN THE CAVE, Selg now shows new painterly and sculptural works in the context of a walk-in installation that serves as a platform for his first virtual reality production I AM (VR). The purely virtual play, another cooperation with Susanne Kennedy, created in collaboration with Rodrik Biersteker and Richard Janssen, can be experienced exclusively through the individual use of virtual reality goggles and allows the visitor to go through a journey that is as interactive as it is immersive, ultimately leading to a surprising destination. As Markus Selg […]

Willi Sitte + Ulrich Reimkasten | UTOPIER | Galerie feinart berlin | 15.04.-20.05.2021
until 20.05. | #3010ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin presents from 15 April 2021 two UTOPIER. For the 100th birthday of the GDR artist Willi Sitte, feinart berlin shows his “Hommages to the Masters” in an as well surprising as revealing pairing with works by his more than a generation younger Halle colleague Ulrich Reimkasten. Between generations – whether teachers and students, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters – there is a time of upheaval. Especially in art: a time of instruction, questioning and identity formation. Here, the where from and where to of biographies are negotiated and the framework for the transmission and change of values, ideas and artistic forms of expression are established. On the occasion of Willi Sitte’s 100th birthday in 2021, the feinart berlin gallery shows a selection from his “Hommages to the Masters” together with drawings and paintings by Ulrich Reimkasten, who belonged to Willi Sitte’s group of students between 1975 and 1985. Ulrich Reimkasten, Granate Femme, Pigmente, Acryl, Leim auf Leinwand, 220 x 135cm, 2008 © Ulrich Reimkasten Willi Sitte’s prints “Hommages to the Masters” imagine, following the pathos of his expressive body representations and lively, pulsating picture compositions, the stylistic worlds of his great […]

Erik Nieminen + Fiona Ackerman | Galerie Kremers | 29.04.–03.07.2021
until 03.07. | #3009ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kremers presents from 29 April 2021 two solo exhibitions. On the one hand, the exhibition “Metamorphosis I – Possible Worlds” with paintings by the artist Erik Nieminen, on the other hand, the exhibition “Metamorphosis II – The Cosmic Tiger” with new works by the artist Fiona Ackerman in the Gothic Hall of the gallery. Erik Nieminen | Metamorphosis I – Possible Worlds Paradises exist. There are artificially created places, for example zoos or gardens, which remind Homo Sapiens of where he actually came from. Erik Nieminen’s painting practice is an exploration of possible space. It shows us the manifold worlds open to us when we withdraw from the gravity of the real (everyday) world and reflect on what has always shaped our perception and our experience: a mélange of sensory impressions, often reflected by memories, moods, hidden longings and premonitions, such as of the epochs when our ancestors still lived in the trees. Metamorphoses takes place on the canvas. Erik Nieminen deconstructs fragments of reality, geometric shapes, memory snippets and random findings in order to abet the construction of new worlds. Like in an alchemical process, forms and figures find and lose their role […]

BUFFERS | by and with Hannes Schmidt | Schiefe Zähne @Contemporary Fine Arts (CFA Berlin) | 29.03.-24.04.2021
bis 24.04. | #3007ARTatBerlin | The Berlin gallery Schiefe Zähne is currently showing the group exhibition BUFFERS in the Contemporary Fine Arts premises. CFA is excited to present an exhibition conceived by Schiefe Zähne. By making its structure available to one of the youngest and most aspiring galleries in the city, CFA isn’t only invested in expanding spatial possibilities of Schiefe Zähne. Rather, the common interest lies in opening up new readings by taking unexpected steps during an unusual situation, to tread new paths, where the old ones turned out to be dead ends, and to encourage others to do the same. It is precisely the diversity of programmatic approaches between the two galleries, as well as of their respective audiences, that is much less an obstacle than it is the motivation and reason for this gathering. … He wear no shoe shine He got toe jam football He got monkey finger He shoot Coca Cola He say I know you, you know me One thing I can tell you is you gotta be free Come together, right now, over me … (John Lennon) BUFFERS Victoria Colmegna, Tom Humphreys, Lukas Quietzsch, Richard Sides, Philipp Simon, Lise Soskolne, Angharad Williams The exhibition […]

until 12.06. | #3006ARTatBerlin | EFREMIDIS GALLERY shows from 1st May 2021 the solo show Butcher Block with works by the artist Mathis Altmann and in parallel two works by Lisa Jo in the [erp]. In his new exhibition Butcher Block, Mathis Altmann (*1987, Munich) witnesses the millennial moment and its ongoing collapse between work and leisure. In the grip of a burgeoning meritocracy, his generation’s drive to improve peaks in a perpetual need for self-glorification. But improvement is a fraught idea. Though often used in optimistic narratives about technological innovation, the word originally stems from making something ‘more profitable.’ Is there progress in the obsession with advancement? And who can really tell the difference? Both satirical and introspective, Butcher Block shakes up the co-dependency of contemporary narratives like community, labor, technology and capital. Typically over the top, the artist points toward the agency and complicity of his own generation. Mathis Altmann, wewontwork, 2020, Courtesy of the artist and Fitzpatrick Gallery In his new series of LED wall sculptures and illuminated signs, he morphs punk kitsch nostalgia with tech glamour fetishes. Corporeal bodies fragment into pixelation and digitized abstraction. In defense of non-compliance, the artist creates absurd aberrations of the branding strategies […]

Kelechi Nwaneri | Myths | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin | 27.03.-24.04.2021
until 24.04. | #3005ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Berlin currently presents the solo show Myths by the artist Kelechi Nwaneri. Black figures with striking motifs painted white onto their skin appear against burning blue skies and stylised settings. These people are the deities and characters from Igbo mythology, vividly reimagined by Nigerian artist Kelechi Nwaneri. The history of the Igbo people of South Eastern Nigeria dates back to the 9th century, but their indigenous way of life is rapidly fading in the face of dominating Western cultural narratives. The artist’s first solo exhibition entitled Myths at Kristin Hjellegjerde gallery’s Berlin space presents a new body of mixed-media artworks which are not only visually arresting, but also serve as important artistic documentation of a culture at risk of being erased from public conscious- ness. Nwaneri uses motifs drawn mainly from three indigenous languages – Adinkra from Ghana, Uli and Ns- bidi from Southern Nigeria – to decorate the skin of his figures, often selecting precise symbols to ex- press the individual’s personality or else to contribute to the work’s wider narrative. Whilst these motifs are derived from specific, ancient writing systems, much of the imagery is recognisable, and can be interpreted on […]

Tammam Azzam | Bilder ohne Namen | Galerie Kornfeld | 29.04.-19.06.2021
until 19.06. | #3003ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kornfeld presents from 29th April 2021 on the occasion of the Gallery Weekend the solo show Bilder ohne Namen (> Untitled Pictures) with works by the Syrian artist Tammam Azzam. The artist, who has been living in Germany since 2016 and in Berlin since 2018, paints contemporary pictures full of emotion that testify to the healing power of art. Tammam Azzam’s paper collages and acrylic paintings have been “pictures without names” for twenty years. He leaves it to the beholder to interpret them. Are the works abstract? Or are they figurative, and if so: what do they show? Do they show destruction in Syria, a country at war for ten years now, without the global community being able to find a solution? Or does he paint his new home city Berlin? A city that is always becoming, and never just is, and also a city where there are still traces of the wounds and gaps left by the Second World War and the city’s division from 1945 to 1989. An aesthetic experience is not an appeal, and a picture is not political agitation. But l’art pour l’art, art just for art’s sake, is not […]

Marina Herrmann + Robert Indiana | Marina meets Robert | hilleckes probst galerie | 24.04.-12.06.2021
until 12.06. | #3002ARTatBerlin | hilleckes probst galerie shows from 24th April 2021 the exhibition “Marina meets Robert – an artist liaison” with works by the artist Marina Herrmann, accompanied with works by pop art artist Robert Indiana. “Marina meets Robert – an art liaison”: loosely based on the classic ‘boy meets girl’ genre of Hollywood films, “We proudly present. As there is a spectacular transparent cube sculpture, with which Marina Herrmann (re)finds the famous sculptures of Robert Indiana “ONE through ZERO” in an enchanting way. Counterpart and further prominent piece of the exhibition is a small Love by Robert Indiana, and other exhibits that have found their way to Berlin in cooperation with Galerie Klaus Benden in Cologne and Galerie Hafenrichter from Nuremberg. Otherwise, Herrmann’s exhibition is all about transparency, like the fascinating ceiling installation “Zeitbrücke” with its coloured acrylic glass islands. Marina Herrmann impresses with an enormous sense of subtlety and the invisible, while the works of the old master of Pop Art form the basis of Herrmann’s inspiration. What a successful tête-à-tête!

SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT | Group Show in four locations | Crone + Crone Side (Berlin + Wien) | 19.03.-24.04.2021
until 24.04. | #3000ARTatBerlin | Crone shows since 19th March 2021 die exhibition SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT with art from Germany and Austria simultaneously in all four gallery and exhibition spaces: Crone Berlin, Crone Vienna, Crone Side Berlin and Crone Side Vienna. In addition, the exhibitions can be viewed online. Same Same but Different – Art from Germany and Austria explores the question of what differences and similarities exist in the art scenes of the two neighboring countries. There will be around 80 works on display by well-known artists from Germany and Austria who have had a lasting influence on the art scene in these countries. The exhibition will cover the period from 1945 to the present day, divided into four sections. The exhibition is curated by the art historian and author Sebastian C. Strenger. Through the selection of works he shows the connecting and border lines in the art production of the two countries, which are attributed to a common cultural circle and are connected by the same language, but are nevertheless each shaped by their own particularities. Thus, for example, Viennese Actionism is juxtaposed with the German Fluxus scene, the interlacing in the painting of the early 1980s is […]

Simone Haack | Archipel | Köppe Contemporary | 30.03.-22.05.2021
until 22.05. | #2999ARTatBerlin | Köppe Contemporary presents from 30th March 2021 the solo show “Archipel” with paintings by the artist Simone Haack. Reality, dream, ideas and utopias beyond the limits of the possible are dialectically related to each other in Haack’s art. This, together with her delight in the sensual materiality of painterly details, forms the basis for the equally fascinating and disturbingly emotional effect of her œuvre. “I paint fictional, suggestive portraits. I have always had the vision of a pictorial language that works with the means of realism, but nevertheless does not depict reality but forms a kind of parallel track to it,” Simone Haack described her pictorial concept in an interview. Simone Haack’s pictorial constructions contain paradoxes, metamorphoses and transformations. And costuming, masking, veiling or playing into the absurd are also recurring elements in her paintings. Simone Haack, Liebesperlen, 2021, 120 x 140 cm, oil on cotton, photo: Lea Gryze In many of the Berlin-based artist’s interiors, the suggestive staging through lighting effects with harsh light and strong drop shadows is virtually picture-determining. The over-realistic, dramatic lighting expresses a reference to cinema (e.g. film noir, the psychological thriller or the horror film). In many of the […]

Tom Anholt | Close To Home | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin | 25.03.-24.04.2021
until 24.04. | #2998ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin presents from 25th March 2021 the solo show Close To Home with paintings by the artist Tom Anholt. In his exhibition “Close to Home” at Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin, Tom Anholt explores nothing less than the very essence of human existence. His latest works mostly feature immediate family members, through which the artist probes himself and in the process involves us, the viewers, in a refreshing way. As the meaning of home is questioned anew in our current time, those who spend their lives far away from it are particularly affected. Home becomes an abstract idea, a concept of longing that shifts in meaning due to aggravated travel conditions. In this context, turning to images is no small attempt to establish a nostalgic connection to the familiar. Images possess the inherent ability to create an imaginary and subjective space by enabling us to feel a fictitious proximity to places, objects, and people. A sphere in which we can reach those yearned for places without tangible images is the dream, which is also a recurring theme throughout the exhibition. In the work “Ada’s Dream,” the artist’s daughter attempts to bring […]

Mit leiser Kraft | Group Show | Salongalerie Die Möwe | 17.04.-12.06.2021
until 12.06. | #2997ARTatBerlin | Salongalerie Die Möwe presents from 17th April 2021 the group show “Mit leiser Kraft” with works by the artists Vera Schwelgin, Wolfgang Reinke and Emerita Pansowová. The new exhibition at the Berlin Salongalerie “Die Möwe” presents works by the Berlin artist couple Vera Schwelgin and Wolfgang Reinke and the sculptor Emerita Pansowová from Prenden in Brandenburg under the title “Mit leiser Kraft” (> With Quiet Power) from 17 April to 12 June 2021. The three artists, who studied at art colleges in the GDR in the 1960s and 1970s, have known each other for many decades, but in this exhibition they are showing their work together for the first time. Vera Schwelgin is represented with woodcuts, woodcut collages and tempera works, Wolfgang Reinke’s drawings with chalk and charcoal as well as collages are on display, and Emerita Pansowová presents stone sculptures and bronze sculptures. All the works have a quiet, yet insistent power. As an expression of the different artists’ personalities, it shows itself in each work in an individual way. The Baltic Sea landscape plays a special role in the work of Vera Schwelgin (*1943) and Wolfgang Reinke (*1942). During their summer stays on […]

Spencer Finch | The Enigma of Color | Galerie Nordenhake Berlin | 20.03.-24.04.2021
until 24.04. | #2996ARTatBerlin | Galerie Nordenhake Berlin shows since 20th March 2021 the exhibition The Enigma of Color by the artist Spencer Finch. In Spencer Finch’s exhibition color acts as a pivot point and trajectory which conjures and crystallizes the bond between outer phenomena and inner movements as well as the physiological aspects of perception and the intimately subjective experience. The new works in watercolor, painting and light are driven by Finch’s desire for exploration and representation, while at the same time confirming color as a magnificent riddle. Due to its elusiveness, interdependence and subjectivity, color remains an unfathomable phenomenon, and this is exactly what becomes palpable in the works as part of its beauty. On view as a point of departure for the exhibition is a significant work from 2015. “Back to Kanas” takes us on an unusual cinematic journey and invites the viewer to experience at dusk how the 70 color fields of the print fade to gray. The shift begins with the short wavelength blues and ends with longer wavelength reds which are last to disappear. Physiologically this is the moment when the cone cells in the eye’s retina stop being stimulated and the more sensitive […]

Masha Svyatogor | SchauFenster | KVOST | 24.03.-30.04.2021
until 30.04. | #2995ARTatBerlin | KVOST shows from 24th March 2021 the exhibition SchauFenster by the artist Masha Svyatogor. Curated by Maya Hristova & Jewgeni Roppel. The SchauFenster (> Shop Window) exhibition series presents works by artists in the window front of the KVOST. This space can be viewed by viewers independently of regular opening hours and is thus a place for young contemporary art from Eastern Europe even in times of Corona. The exhibition will be open daily from 24 March to 30 April 2021 from 2 – 10 pm. As a kick-off to EEP Berlin and KVOST’s upcoming exhibition dedicated to Belorussian contemporary photographic practices, the two organisations present a showcase of Belarussian artist Masha Svyatogor (BY, *1989) at KVOST’s window display. Masha Svyatogor’s eccentric and elusive visual style, coupled with her innate understanding of Belarus’ contemporary context, has taken the Minsk-based artist all over the world. Svaytogor belongs to a new generation of Belorussian photographers who have gained the power to translate the ambivalence of historical silence into tangible works of art. In her latest piece, “Everybody Strike!” (since 2020), a natural continuation of her series “Everybody Dance!” (since 2017), she uses photomontage techniques characteristic of the […]

gold fever | Group show | Semjon Contemporary | 19.03.–10.04.2021
until 10.04. | #2994ARTatBerlin | Semjon Contemporary presents from 19th March 2021 the group show gold fever. Works by Dittmar Danner aka Krüger, Renate Hampke, Ute Essig, Nataly Hocke, Henrik U. Müller, Dirk Rathke, Ursula Sax, Karina Spechter and Bettina Weiß are being presented. Special guest: Uli Aigner, ONE MILLION. For a year now, we have been living in an exceptional situation that we could not even have imagined as a nightmare just a short time before. Corona determines our everyday life! The warnings of coming worldwide epidemics and their effects on our lives, on the other hand, have actually been known for decades. Only a few took them seriously. Now we are in the midst of it and hope to have escaped the painful misery soon thanks to the vaccine that was tailor-made in no time at all. We are again in good spirits in the frustration of the new daily routine. Our socio-cultural life has been completely turned upside down: physical lack of contact with family, friends and acquaintances dominates everyday life, and we have been deprived of the natural way of being part of a group (no matter how big it was) and participating in concerts, plays […]

A selection of monotypes from 2018/2019 will be on display. The works show fragmentary, contrasting, juxtaposed spaces of tension between touch and pristine white.

Georges Adéagbo (M2) | Eli Cortiñas (M1) | KINDL – Zentrum | 28.03.-25.07.2020
until 25.07. | #2992ARTatBerlin | KINDL – Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst presents from 28th March 2021 the exhibition La lumière qui fait le bonheur… by the artist Georges Adéagbo at the Maschinenhaus M2, as well as the exhibition Walls Have Feelings by the artist Eli Cortiñas at the Maschinenhaus M1. Georges Adéagbo The assemblages by the Beninese artist Georges Adéagbo (*1942 in Cotonou) follow the life courses and fates of people using the traces they leave behind: objects and documents attest to encounters and individual decisions. By having craftsmen in Benin produce paintings and sculptures based on photos and printed items collected on his travels, the artist opens up new perspectives on the seemingly familiar and challenges visitors to examine clichéd ideas and stereotypes. Adéagbo’s installations are always site-specific and dissolve hierarchies: all things are of equal importance to him. In his work, phenomena from pop culture transport stories just as much as canonised high culture: antiques from Benin can be found alongside “airport kitsch”, records by Beethoven alongside carnival music, commissioned oil paintings alongside reproductions from art history. Georges Adéagbo’s practice is an open system that is meant to be augmented and transformed by the viewers and challenges the […]

Orion Shima + Martin Stommel | Moonlight at Noon | janinebeangallery | 28.04.-03.07.2021
until 03.07. | #2991ARTatBerlin | janinebeangallery presents from 28th April 2021 in the exhibition “Moonlight at Noon” paintings and paper works of the Albanian artist Orion Shima and the German artist Martin Stommel, living and working in Bonn. Both have been producing their artworks for several decades and are exhibiting internationally. The basis for the exhibition “Moonlight at Noon” featuring artworks by Orion Shima and Martin Stommel was established in 2019, when we came into contact via the internet with the Albanian gallerist Lauresha Basha of Gallery 70 in Tirana, Albania. We liked each other from the outset and furthermore discovered common grounds regarding the alignment of our galleries, spawning the idea for a more extensive exchange. In June of that year we relayed an invitation from Lauresha Basha to Martin Stommel for a solo exhibition at Gallery 70 in Tirana. For this exhibition Martin Stommel travelled in October 2019 to Tirana and was not only delighted by the candour and cordiality of his hostess but also by the kindness of the general public. Among other artists he was introduced to Orion Shima, who is also engaged as a professor at the University of Arts in the Albanian capital and […]

Paula Carralero Bierzyñska | RESCATE / ERLÖSUNG | galerie weisser elefant + Monbijoupark | 06.03.-10.04.2021
until 10.04. | #2987ARTatBerlin | galerie weisser elefant currently presents the exhibition RESCATE / ERLÖSUNG with works by the artist Paula Carralero Bierzyñska, which are shown both in the gallery and in the nearby Monbijoupark. About 20 works can be seen on the trees around the hill in the park. At the moment of eternity Nathanaël R. Bartholomäus „For when God said, Let there be light, there arose the light of reason.“ Hildegard von Bingen The artist Paula Carralero Bierzyñska, as her full name reveals, comes from different cultures. She lives in Berlin and also speaks several other languages. She studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee from 2013 to 2019 and immediately received the Mart Stam Prize in her final year. The term ‘Rescate’ as the title of the exhibition has the Spanish meaning of rescue, but also ransom. We translate it as RESCUE because her work is actually about our ‘detachment’, which she confronts with new connections to primal nature, thus also a wider perception of our existence. Paula Carralero is looking for the connection to original nature, thus a wider perception of our existence. Like an actual revelation, she receives the knowledge of nature, enraptured and yet true. She […]

From Almora to Amrum | EFREMIDIS GALLERY | 06.03.-03.04.2021
until 03.04. | #2986ARTatBerlin | EFREMIDIS GALLERY currently presents the group show From Almora to Amrum with artworks by 16 artists and in parallel the artist Mitchell Anderson at the [erp]. From Almora to Amrum shows works by Mitchell Anderson, Kamilla Bischof, Martin Disler, Hannah-Sophie Dunkelberg, Michaela Eichwald, Heike-Karin Föll, Nuria Fuster, Nikolas Gambaroff, Nico Ihlein, Shirley Jaffe, Tony Just, Arthur Laidlaw, Sophie Reinhold, Aura Rosenberg, Alexander Wolff and HP Zimmer. From Almora to Amrum is a trip that never happened: it is an invisible and impossible line between two paintings, Almora (1943) by Alice Rahon, that depicts the Himalayan city, and Amrum (1970), HP Zimmer’s aerial view of the island in the North Sea, as seen from a lighthouse. Rahon traveled to India in 1937, where she took inspiration from depictions of the Devi. Though her work often centers around femininity, she dodged easy categorization—when asked which school of art she belonged to, she replied, “I think I am a cave painter.” In the opening lines of one of her poems: “I file the bars of my invisible prison / I sigh like horses sigh,” she expresses her frustration with confinement. As is the case with much of Rahon’s […]

Ab van Hanegem | Recent Paintings | Galerie Gilla Lörcher | 20.03.–24.04.2021
until 24.04. | #2985ARTatBerlin | Galerie Gilla Lörcher presents from 20th March 2021 a solo show with new works by the Dutch artist Ab van Hanegem. Galerie Gilla Lörcher is very pleased to present the solo show by Dutch artist Ab van Hanegem. The exhibition provides an overview of the painter’s new work. „In my more recent work, the spaciousness is no longer clearly orientated towards the perspective. The dimensions in my work are difficult to identify precisely. I focus on spaciousness inspired by phenomena from the topology, a branch of mathematics. The most recent works are mainly expressionist, material plays a greater role in the creation, yet it is often constructed as architecture. For me these ‘impossible’ structures represent special areas, ‘thinking spaces’ you might say. Areas where you can wander infinitely, not only with your eyes but also mentally.“ (Ab van Hanegem) Ab van Hanegem, Untitled. Acrylic on canvas, 180 x 150 cm. Photo credit / copyright: Ab van Hanegem Dutch artist Ab van Hanegem (born 1960) studied at Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten St. Joost (Breda, NL) and at Rijksacademie (Amsterdam, NL). He lives and works in Amsterdam and Berlin. Ab van Hanegem was awarded the Stiftung Vordemberge-Gildewart stipend and […]

Inga Kerber + Corinne von Lebusa | Dans Mon Lit | Jarmuschek + Partner | 09.03.-17.04.2021
until 17.04. | #2984ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner shows from 9th March 2021 an exhibition with the French title Dans Mon Lit, in which works by the artists Inga Kerber and Corinne von Lebusa are presented. Visitors of the current exhibition at Jarmuschek + Partner gallery are lured “Dans mon lit – Into my bed” by the Leipzig-based artists Inga Kerber and Corinne von Lebusa. In a world of a perceived permanent social public sphere, the bed may at first seem like the last bastion of privacy. Inga Kerber and Corinne von Lebusa bring this place into focus as a setting for encounters, directing their attention to a common theme: their central figure is the woman. Provocative or sensual-seductive, strong or vulnerable-the female figures in Corinne von Lebusa’s narrative paintings appear in a variety of possible roles. The artist playfully and tongue-in-cheek picks up on existing clichés, places her female protagonists in situations that puzzle us and fire our own imagination. With energetic strokes, Inga Kerber draws the woman in expansive poses that almost completely fill the image. Again and again she varies postures and forms, letting her figures perform wild contortions and turns. Expressive gestures combined with contrasting, strong colors […]

Marc Jung | HOME OVAL OFFICE | Galerie Eigenheim | 06.03.-17.04.2021
bis 17.04. | #2983ARTatBerlin | Galerie Eigenheim presents from 6th March 2021 the solo show HOME OVAL OFFICE with new works by the artist Marc Jung. With his exhibition HOME OVAL OFFICE Marc Jung catapults us into the absolute present. He deals with the invasion of the Capitol in Washington as well as with our mental and physical abysses. His titles bear impressive witness to this: Keine Zeit zu sterben (No Time to Die), Nasenscheidewand weggefressen (Eaten Away the Nasal Septum), and This is not a lovesong relate to a society caught between turbo-capitalism and loneliness, between hyper-effectivity and outsiderism, between addiction and longing. His pictures are icons of a pop culture that is in a state of change and dissolution. In his works, the artist wages a battle between rules and anarchy, between harmony and destruction. His pictorial agenda of a societal sweeping contains reminiscences of Grosz and Dix, his direct-naïve style catapults Basquiat‘s expression into the here and now. His pictorial composition deconstructs Bacon and Velasquez beyond recognition. Thus, he combines the grime of today‘s street with the heroes and conceptual theories of established painting, playfully breaking traditional genre boundaries.

Jens Jensen + David Evison | Galerie Born Berlin | 10.03.-17.04.2021
until 17.04. | #2982ARTatBerlin | Galerie Born Berlin shows from 10th March 2021 an exhibition with paintings by the artist Jens Jensen and sculptures by the artist David Evison. he painter Jens Jensen and the sculptor David Evison have known each other for what feels like an eternity. They met at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin (now the Universität der Künste – UdK). Jens Jensen taught there in various departments from the 1970s until 2005, David Evison was Professor for Sculpture from 1984 until 2010. However, their origins and development couldn’t be more different: Jensen grew up in Ahrensburg near Hamburg, and worked, amongst other things, as a Jazz trumpeter before he went to Berlin at the beginning of 1960, where he devoted himself exclusively to drawing, printed graphics and painting. As a Jazz trumpeter Jensen loved improvisation, and if one looks at his paintings on canvas and paper, he appears to employ it here too. His comprehensive series of works on paper such as “La Place” or “Les Copains de Nuit” are examples of the freedoms he takes. Just as he did as a musician in the past, he varies themes in his pictorial works, playing out possibilities, extending […]

Declan Clarke | The Museum of Broadcast and Loneliness | Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz | 17.02.-11.04.2021
until 11.04. | #2981ARTatBerlin | The Verein zur Förderung von Kunst und Kultur am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz currently shows the freely accessible installation “The Museum of Broadcast and Loneliness”. It is illuminated every day from 4pm. A series of short films will be released throughout the duration of the exhibition on the webpage of the art association, each new ‘broadcast’ arriving every Friday. The films will relate to the content and convey the thematics of The Museum of Broadcasting and Loneliness. The currently closed Museum for Broadcast and Loneliness introduces the history of electronic communication with its program. The project returns to the beginnings of electronic mass communication and tells a multi-layered, complex story of transition and transmission, of surprising connections and certain historical parallels between a divided Ireland and an equally separated Germany. The project sees itself as a prequel to the exhibition planned for next year. Stay tuned!

Peer Boehm | Grenzerfahrung | Galerie Poll | 19.01.-13.03.2021
until 13.03. | #2980ARTatBerlin | Galerie Poll shows until 13 March 2021 the exhibition Grenzerfahrung with paintings and drawings by the artist Peer Boehm. Under the title Grenzerfahrung (Border Experience), the Poll Gallery presents the painter and draughtsman Peer Boehm for the first time in a solo exhibition. With drawings, the Cologne artist was already involved in the gallery’s thematic exhibition Remember – Dream – Draw in summer 2019. In canvas works, watercolours and drawings with biros, Peer Boehm links memories with images of travels and urban spaces. The basis for his motifs are photos he finds in photo albums from flea markets or on the internet. For the exhibition, Peer Boehm specifically searched for photographic originals related to the former Wall city of Berlin. The exhibition’s title image is composed of two superimposed scenes. The first, dark blue layer shows shadowy cars waiting at a checkpoint, it is Checkpoint Charlie. The other, red layer of images with human silhouettes reveals a throng of journalists pointing their cameras at two men who greet each other solemnly. On the left stands Leonid Brezhnev, opposite him Walter Ulbricht – or is it Erich Honecker? It is up to the viewer to clarify […]

Enrique Martínez Celaya + Käthe Kollwitz | Von den ersten und den letzten Dingen | Galerie Judin | 06.02.-10.04.2021
until 10.04. | #2979ARTatBerlin | Galerie Judin currently shows the exhibition Of the first and the last things with works by the artists Enrique Martínez Celaya and Käthe Kollwitz. “Looking at Käthe Kollwitz‘ work makes me feel less alone. She knew about the consequences of what it means to be human.” Enrique Martínez Celaya Enrique Martínez Celaya (*1964) was just a teenager when he first discovered German culture. It may seem surprising that an artist born in Cuba, who grew up in Spain and Puerto Rico and entirely outside the realm of German influence, is to this day so fascinated by the “Land of Poets and Thinkers.” Whereas most people would rate Nietzsche, Brecht and Hegel as heavy duty, this young Latino ravenously devoured the work of German writers and philosophers, and in so doing he stumbled across Käthe Kollwitz (1867—1945). The most famous female German artist of all, whose work is situated between Realism and Expressionism, became an elective affinity and an inspiration for his own “being an artist in this world.” For some years now, his older colleague (or at least one of her self-portraits, which now hangs in his studio) has looked over his shoulder as he […]

Malte Bartsch | Investment | EIGEN + ART Lab | 15.04.-15.05.2021
until 15.05. | #3014ARTatBerlin | EIGEN + ART Lab presents from 15th April 2021 the solo show Investment by the artist Malte Bartsch. In the past there was not necessarily more tinsel, but more noise and more fire. Cars were buzzing, cigarettes were glowing, fireworks exploded. This was probably not particularly wise, healthy or sustainable, and not everything was better in the past. This much is certain. Nevertheless, this noise-making is also a way of expressing one’s joy at the mere fact that one is inexplicably alive. What happens when nothing glows any more because the e-cigarette (recently: tobacco heater) with blueberry flavor no longer burns anything crackling but only heats it moderately, when the Tesla glides silently through a frigid world and when the fireworks are consumed digitally via a screen instead of blowing up a proper bang and sulphur smell? That these things will be reduced in the future is pleasing. Because it is reasonable and because it will ensure a cleaner and healthier future. One that leaves a better world for generations to come. Yet the silence in which the present slowly begins to mantle itself also disguises its functionalities, the present is lost in empty speculations […]

David Ostrowski | It can’t be that cold | Sprüth Magers Berlin | 03.03.-10.04.2021
until 10.04. | #2976ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin shows from 3rd March 2021 the exhibition I (So kalt kann es nicht sein) with new works by the artist David Ostrowski. It is the first solo show of the artist with the gallery. It can’t be that cold features a new body of work that marks his first systematic approach to the color gray. Echoing his minimalistic, abstract canvases in white or black, Ostrowski continues his exploration of a total reduction in painting by using another ‘non color’ – in this case a conventional, commercially-available ‘neutral gray’. Watch the video of the exhibition HERE. The specific, focused installation of the works in the gallery translates the three-dimensionality of the painted surface into the space, supporting the space-creating element inherent to Ostrowski’s paintings and ascribing to them an architectural dimension. Exhibition period: Wednesday, 3rd March – Saturday, 10th April 2021 Image captions: © David Ostrowski; Still from David Ostrowski, So kalt kann es nicht sein / It can’t be that cold, Sprüth Magers, Berlin, 2021, Courtesy Sprüth Magers Exhibition David Ostrowski – Sprüth Magers Berlin | Zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin | Contemporary Art | Exhibition Berlin Galeries | ART at Berlin

Sandro Botticelli – Madonna with Child
Thanks to Count Atanasius Raczynski one is able to marvel at “Madonna with Child” and eight singing angels by Sandro Botticelli in Berlin. In 1824 he bought the art piece for 2500 francs (for his collection in his art gallery at his palace). A not so well known fact is that his palace was situated […]

Caravaggio – Cupid as Victor
Caravaggio is said to be the master of light and shade like how his piece “Amor vincit Omnia” or “Cupid as victor” undoubtedly proves. The specific focus was on the use of light and shade causing the painting to seem plastic, showing a naked and winged cupid embodied by a young boy. His pose is […]

Rembrandt van Rijn – Man in a Gold Helmet – from the circle around
In 1897, the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museums-Verein, a sponsor of the Gemäldegalerie Berlin, purchased the masterpiece “Man in a Gold Helmet” as an original work by Rembrandt. Less than 100 years later, in the 1970s, it came to light as part of the “Rembrandt Research Project” initiated in 1968 that the painting was created by someone close to […]
