The Tape Art Convention 2022 opens on Sunday, 7 May 2022 at 7 pm at the Napoleon Komplex in Berlin-Friedrichshain.

Herta Müller | PFADLOSE WEGE | Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung | 30.04.-17.07.2022
The Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung has until now concentrated on the mediums of photography and film. With the exhibition “PATHLOSE WEGE. MALEREI, ZEICHNUNG, FOTOGRAFIE.” (Untrodden Paths. Painting, Drawing, Photography.) by Herta Müller the spectrum of media is being opened up to include painting for the first time, thereby expanding the dialogue with Alfred Ehrhardt’s work. It is a little-known fact that Ehrhardt was a Dessau Bauhaus-influenced painter and art teacher before becoming a photographer and filmmaker following his dismissal by the Nazis from his teaching duties at the Landeskunstschule in Hamburg. The painter Herta Müller (b. 1955) lives and works in Berlin and near Loro Ciuffena in the Tuscan mountains. Her house is surrounded by nature, whose elements she studies extensively. Fascinated by the hues of the Mediterranean light, she pays special attention to the watery reflections of the Ciuffena, a mountain river. For her observations, she makes use of countless photographic “notes” taken on location over the years. These do not represent artistic works but are employed by the … Read the article further on DEEDS.NEWS.

Kein Mensch kennt mich. Iris Häussler begegnet Benjamine Kolbe (No one knows me. Iris Häussler meets Benjamine Kolbe) – Georg Kolbe Museum | 05.03.-29.05.2022
Like many artists’ wives of her time, Benjamine Kolbe (1881-1927) remained in the shadow of her husband. Thanks to the spectacular estate find that came to the Georg Kolbe Museum in 2020, several hundred letters and photographs can now shed light on the darkness for the first time and answer the question: Who was the woman Kolbe adored and immortalised in countless works? At the same time, the German-Canadian artist Iris Häussler creates a feminist commentary on the male-dominated history of the 20th century in a spatial installation in the large studio. She brings to life two female artists who never existed but could have. In Häussler’s work, what historiography has overlooked becomes reality. “No one knows me, only you know how I am, only to you have I given myself as I am, other people don’t need to know that either”, Benjamine van der Meer de Walcheren (1881-1927) confesses to the young Georg Kolbe (1877-1947) at the beginning of their acquaintance. … Read the article further on DEEDS.NEWS Image caption: Georg Kolbe, Portrait Benjamine Kolbe, ink drawing around 1903 © Photo: Markus Hilbich, Bildarchiv Georg Kolbe Museum

Lasha Tchrelashvili | Transformation | HazeGallery | 02.06-18.06.2022
until 18.06. | #3476ARTatBerlin | HazeGallery presents from 2. June 2022 the exhibition «Transformation» by the artist Lasha Tchrelashvili, curated by Irina Rusinovich. Pictorial traditions in art have a very deep and long history. Since the Middle Ages and Renaissance artists have been trying to find their unique and individual way, a form of utterance. Painters used color as a medium and expression method, escaping more and more new facets of interpretations. In the Symbolism tradition, artists used color as a code, where each color had its meaning. And today many painters are working with color very carefully and attentively, using colors as sights and some sort of visual message. Lasha Tchrelashvili, Wo befindest du dich In the TRANSFORMATION project, Lasha Tchrelashvili is reflecting on the inner force that all of us have inside. Today, when the whole world is in a permanent crisis, we have many problems: social, political, and ecological. Every day we have to fight with circumstances and with ourselves and make moral choices day by day. We should be strong to stay human, to not go insane. Lasha Tchrelashvili, Four trees Artist uses color as an image language, telling viewers the story of his life through […]

Hamburger Sezessionisten | Salongalerie Die Möwe | 02.06.-27.08.2022
until 27.08. | #3475ARTatBerlin | Salongalerie Die Möwe presents from 2. June 2022 the group exhibition ” Hamburger Sezessionisten” (Hamburg Secessionists) the only group of artists of classical modernism in Hamburg. In its new exhibition “Hamburger Sezessionisten”, the salon gallery “Die Möwe” focuses on the only group of classical modern artists in Hamburg. Thanks to the good cooperation with the Eduard Bargheer Museum, the administrators of the estates of Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen and Emil Maetzel as well as private collections, the numerous works could be brought together for this exhibition. On the opening evening, Dr. Karin Schick, head of the Hamburger Kunsthalle’s Classical Modernism Collection, will speak about the significance of the avant-garde group of artists in the city on the Elbe. Ivo Hauptmann, o.T. (Am Pier), 1922, Aquarelle, 33 x 51 cm The Hamburg Secession, founded in 1919, saw itself as a platform for like-minded people until its forced dissolution in 1933 by the National Socialists and united artists from the fields of painting, sculpture, architecture and literature. Its 33 founding members included Emil Maetzel and Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen, Alma del Banco, Gretchen Wohlwill and Otto Fischer-Trachau. Paintings, gouaches, prints and drawings by these artists as well as by the renowned […]

Marlies Appel | backstage | Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung | 21.05.-25.06.2022
until 25.06. | #3474ARTatBerlin| Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung shows from 21. May 2022 the exhibition “backstage” with drawings by the artist Marlies Appel. From sheet to sheet, Marlies Appel curiously expands her new series of drawings from recent years. Entitled ‘fold and snow, the Jungfrau’, it can be seen in this exhibition. The first drawings of this phase were already made around 2016, when inner images of the early snow on the Swiss mountain ‘Jungfrau Joch’ did not let go of the artist. When looking at the mountain massif full of crevices, she was overwhelmed by the different incidence of light and the shadow furrows that became dominant. But the memories of the folds of the robe of Jan van Eyck’s ‘Madonna in the Chamber’, which had been imprinted on her mind for a long time, were the real impulse for her to turn to the mountain massif. In her drawings, deliberately worked out free colour fields, influenced by this impression of nature, which is significant for her, now enter into a connection with simply structured networks of lines. Viewers sense the underlying experience of nature absorbed by the artist. The masses of snow on the mountain, […]

until 23.06. | #3473ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin presents from 12. May 2022 the memorial exhibition Blausaftapparat und Propellerengel with selected pen and ink drawings, gouaches, paintings, prints and etchings from the life’s work of Berlin artist Jürgen Tenz, who died in 2021 Born in Berlin-Siemensstadt in 1942, Jürgen Tenz, a contemporary of the so-called “Trümmerkinder” years, stands for a generation of artists who, from the Second World War onwards, experienced Germany in the ups and downs of significant socio-historical changes: after the sapping post-war period, the years of the Economic Miracle, the division of Germany into East and West, Cold War, Wall building and reunification. Jürgen Tenz, Reife Frucht, Gouache, 1977 © feinartberlin Died in December 2021, the artist Tenz, who came from commercial graphics and scientific drawing, has spent his life dealing with the role of humans in society and the conflicts that exist between these two levels. Whether we encounter singular figures, figural scenes or masses of small bodies in his works, which, falling, flowing, form new large structures – everywhere something or someone seems to be at stake, yes, a process or a transformation seems to have started.

Gulu | photoraphy works | Migrant Bird Space | 13.05.-17.06.2022
until 17.06. | #3470ARTatBerlin | Migrant Bird Space presents from 13. May 2022 the exhibition with photoraphy works by the artist Li Xiang alias Gulu. Born in 1983 in China, Li Xiang graduated from Beijing Film Academy, majoring in Film and Television Advertising. Took up photography in 2008, he initially started focusing on contemporary Chinese subcultures, the idea of the body as a weapon, and the reality as the foundation of existence, constantly trying to reject definitions and labels. In recent years, Gulu’s goal has been to restore the identity of those who have been “materialized” by society; to do so, he employs different techniques, such as photography, texts, handwork, and painting. Gulu, Ausstellung “Suddenly Retreating Desire”, Simulacra Studio, Beijing, 2020 In his latest solo exhibition “Suddenly Retreating Desire” Li Xiang encourage young people from all over the world to show their true self in front of the camera. He furthermore reconstructs by hand the reality depicted in the Polaroids taken, breaking the limitations of the square and blurring the boundary between photography and painting. As an artist whose main theme is the body, Gulu argues it is not an object, but the embodiment of emotions; it has nothing to […]

Su Weiss | Geflutet | Galerie Schindler | 02.06.-13.08.2022
until 13.08. | #3471ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler in Potsdam shows from 02. June 2022 the exhibition GEFLUTET with the very latest works by the artist Su Weiss. In the current exhibition GEFLUTET in the GALERIE SCHINDLER Su Weiss shows paintings that have been created over the past half year. Starting from plein air painting, landscapes have developed in the studio, which represent mood images and draw the viewer into them, as it were. The suction effect is strengthened by the expressive colorfulness, the unusual color combinations and the associated abstraction processes. Su Weiss, Crook, Oil on canvas, 60 x 40 cm, 2022, courtesy of Galerie Schindler Above all, the element of water and the horizon can be found thematically in many of the paintings. In mythology, water stands for the origin of all life and renewal, as well as for transformation and destruction. In connection with the horizon, a longing for something eternally valid also seems to emerge in the pictures. Feeling, as in Romanticism, seems to be given precedence over reason. Su Weiss, Kür, Acryl, Chalk and ink pencil on paper, 100 x 70 cm, 2022, courtesy of Galerie Schindler Flooded now also appear some rooms, which in earlier […]

Deni Horvatić | SCAN | nüüd.berlin gallery | 03.06.-16.07.2022
until 16.07. | #3469ARTatBerlin | nüüd.berlin gallery presents from 3. June 2022 (Opening: 02.06.) the exhibition SCAN with works by the Croatian artist Deni Horvatić. In Horvatić’s life-size photographs of scenes from everyday life, the artist removes the distance between the environment and the sitter by choosing a particular point of view: Shot from below, the images hide as much as they reveal, for they deny the viewer a glimpse of the part of the body we most immediately associate with identity – the face. Deni Horvatić: SCAN, Bedroom 1-3, 2020, C-Print mounted on Dibond, 220 x 168 The best portraits give us the intimate feeling of being face to face with the person portrayed. But even in the most intimate embrace, the constraints of the physical world prevent us from fully uniting with that person; two bodies cannot command the same point in space. Deni Horvatić: SCAN, Accident 1-6, 2020, C-Print mounted on Dibond, 142 x 83 cm Deni Horvatić defies this in his SCAN project. Using a scanner-like camera, the artist records his subjects in such a way that the viewer is offered a point of view that he literally shares with the sitter: I see you from […]

Julia Benz | Oscillation | Köppe Contemporary | 17.05.-11.06.2022
Until 11.06. | #3467ARTatBerlin | Köppe Contemporary presents from 17. May 2022 (Opening: 13.05.) the solo exhibition Oscillation by the artist Julia Benz. Oscillation, the title of the exhibition, shows recent works that, based on the (acrylic) glass installations of recent years, deal with the colour spectrum of refracted light. In interaction with the burnt-in dyes, the exhibited glass works use light as a design element and at the same time as a transformative force. In the varying appearance of those installation objects, Julia Benz brings together the immaterial properties of light with the material properties of painting. As an integral part of the reception of the work, the glass objects and their colour impression are revealed to the viewer depending on the viewing position and angle. Julia Benz, Refraction of Light, 2022, 160 x 120 x 4,5 cm, Acrylic and spray paint on canvas In her latest canvas works, Julia Benz is looking for a way to translate the effect of light refraction through a prism, which can be observed in the glass objects, into painting. Light functions here as a source of design and its refraction as an inspiration for colour. Breaking away from the two-dimensional surface, the […]

until 06.07. | #3466ARTatBerlin | Galerie Pugliese Levi presents since 5. May 2022 the second solo show Safe Place by the Hungarian artist Tünde Újszászi. Safe Place presents recent paintings along with a series of ink drawings on paper. Repetition, as a soothing and meditative act, is the main focus of Újszászi’s work and the theme of this exhibition. Departing from the special weaving techniques and small foldings of previous installations, gestural repetitions take place here on canvas. Taming the passing of time and overcoming her fears remain Tünde Újszászi’s preoccupations, along with her original research on the medium and all its possible uses. Tünde Újszászi, Safe Place 06, 2021, acrylic, oil pastel on canvas, 100 x 70 x 4 cm “Repetition is safe. The reason why I always aspire to achieve it is because I’m afraid to immerse myself in the void.“ Tünde Újszászi This exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue. Exhibition dates: Thursday, 5.

Eric Esau | Customs of Modern Times | HazeGallery | 07.05-21.05.22
until 21.05. | #3465ARTatBerlin | HazeGallery shows from 7. May 2022 (Opening: 06.05.) the exhibition Customs of Modern Times (> Bräuche der Neuzeit) des Künstlers Eric Esau. Religious motives and biblical scenes are among the most favorite subjects for artists of all times because they are full of mystical experiences and multicultural narratives. Christianity since its very beginning has been a religion based on iconical images. We can remember many great painters in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance. But these were the times when most people were believers. Why do we thrill so deeply when we see these icons now? Today, in 2022, we have a more difficult relationship with God. Many people don’t visit the church at all, but we still look at the great golden iconostasis and church domes with a sinking heart. Many people around the whole world feel some mystery fleur near the icons and churches and never mind believing they are or not. In the CUSTOMS OF MODERN TIMES project, Erik Esau is trying to find unique motives and patterns that affect people and researching the mechanics of this process. First Erik’s memory of the cathedral was shocking and caught him off guard. […]

Shuang Li | nobody’s home | Peres Projects | 29.04.-27.05.2022
until 27.05. | #3450ARTatBerlin | Peres Projects presents from 29. April 2022 the second solo exhibition of the artist Shuang Li at the gallery. Two years ago in February 2020, Shuang Li travelled to Berlin from China for the opening of I Want to Sleep More but by Your Side, for her first solo exhibition at the gallery and ever since has not been able to return home due to Covid restrictions. This second exhibition in many ways explores the ramifications of that decision, and the ensuing two year period of restlessness and dislocation. The video, sculpture and wall works in nobody’s home explore the relationship between screen and body, body and its image, and is intertwined with a reflection on virtual intimacies. Addressing disembodiment in her new video work How Come an Image (2022), the combined gestures of flip book animation and scrolling on a screen are exhibited in a loop on a custom oval screen. Pixels and pages blur together as the images repeat and accelerate – blending into a single image before disintegrating – reflecting processes of the body being broken down into pixels and algorithms and then reassembled by digital screens. Shuang Li, All about Me, […]

Stanislava Kovalcikova | am I dead yet | Peres Projects | 29.04.-27.05.2022
until 27.05. | #3464ARTatBerlin | Peres Projects shows from 29. April 2022 the exhibition am I dead yet by the artist Stanislava Kovalcikova. Stanislava Kovalcikova’s (b. 1988 in Czechoslovakia) elegiac canvases which depict human figures, are studies of painting itself. Drawing on contemporary and historical perspectives of the human figure, her work directly references art historical styles. “If you compare it to organic processes like mushrooms under the earth, that all of a sudden pop out, but which is way smaller than the entire system. And sometimes I really have to wait for years, I know if I do it too early then I ruin the painting” Stanislava Kovalcikova Stanislava Kovalcikova, Those who smile will also bite, 2021, Painting – Oil, foil on canvas, 80 x 80 cm (32 x 32 in) Equally, Kovalcikova’s work operates through a tradition of Eastern orthodox mysticism. An exploration of the figure as an icon, the individual psychic experience portrayed in her work is always referential to something larger – an archetype from a collective narrative. Opening: Friday, 29. April 2022, 6:00 – 8:00 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 29. April – Friday, 27. May 2022 Special opening for the Gallery Weekend Berlin: Friday, 29 April […]

Looking Through the Threshold | Group show | carlier | gebauer | 30.04.-11.06.2022
until 11.06. | #3463ARTatBerlin | carlier | gebauer presents from 30. April 2022 (Opening: 29.04) the group exhibition Looking Through the Threshold by the artists Cecilia Edefalk, Fred Eversley, Asta Gröting, Lena Henke, Arturo Herrera, Ann Veronica Janssens, Tarik Kiswanson, Jean-Luc Moulène, Bojan Šarčević, Thomas Schütte, Nida Sinnokrot, Marianna Uutinen, Rosha Yaghmai, Dolores Zinny. A trapezoid occupies the centre of the exhibition space, its form mirroring the load-bearing concrete beam of the gallery’s sawtooth roof. It was the idea conceived by the curator of the last exhibition, Friedrich Meschede, to present the space as a stage for the artists of the gallery’s 30 year history. Inspired by the ensuing spatial dichotomy and the fabulous literary nonsense of Alice in Wonderland, we invite you to pass through Lena Hanke’s work as through a portal, to leave one state for another. On one side of the beam is a realm of marvel, playfulness and animism, where works by Lena Henke, Asta Gröting, Bojan Šarčević and Arturo Herrera question the relationship between representation, myth, culture and the natural and supernatural worlds.

until 25.06. | #3397ARTatBerlin | Galerie Brockstedt presents from 28. April 2022 the group exhibition Die Kunst des Vergessens – die Kunst des Erinnerns (> The art of forgetting – the art of remembering) by the artists Hoa Dung Clerget, Lucas Gabellini-Fava, Mohamed Lekleti and Fatiha Zemmouri. “Every man carries a world within himself, composed of all that he has ever seen and loved, and to which he always returns, even when he thinks he is roaming and inhabiting a foreign world.” What the French writer, politician and diplomat François-René de Chateaubriand (1768 – 1848) formulated here on the basis of his intensive experiences abroad is as relevant today as it once was. In today’s multi-ethnic society, this question of homeland security and cultural identity has even taken on a central role and is additionally of the highest political topicality due to the new critical approach to the subject of colonialism and also due to the threat from autocratic forms of government. Hoa Dung Clerget, Broom-Lady (Red 1), 2021, 240 x 150 x15 cm, Straw from Vietnamese brooms, acrylic, jute Galerie Brockstedt presents the exhibition “Die Kunst des Vergessens – die Kunst des Erinnerns”, curated by Philippe Hostaléry, in which […]

Horst Antes | 7 Häuser | Galerie Friese | 30.04-11.06.2022
until 11.06. | #3462ARTatBerlin | Galerie Friese shows from 30. April 2022 (Opening: 29.04.) the exhibition 7 Häuser by the artist Horst Antes. In his exhibition 7 Häuser (7 Houses), Antes shows seven monumental paintings, some of which consist of several parts, depicting the dark, reduced houses typical of Antes. The works, including newly created works, are being shown for the first time in the synopsis curated by the artist himself. Horst Antes, who took the shock of the Falklands War – that is, that the West felt able to wage war after and despite the experience of World War II – as an occasion to banish the figure from his work, has since devoted himself to images of figures, images of houses. The houses are dense, self-contained areas of colour most vividly set in relation to one another. They elude hasty readability. They are monstrous signs of life itself that have become images. Horst Antes, Haus Sekulic (für Klaus Gallwitz), 2021, Acrylic on canvas, 130 x 100 cm, Photo: Andrea Lensini, Siena Horst Antes (*1936) studied under HAP Grieshaber at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, where he also held a professorship from 1984 to 2000.

Günther Förg | EXPOSITION COLLECTIVE 1974 – 2007 | Galerie Max Hetzler | 28.04.-06.08.2022
until 06.08. | #3461ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler presents from 28. April 2022 in the Potsdamer Straße 77-87 the exhibition EXPOSITION COLLECTIVE 1974 – 2007 by Günther Förg spanning three decades of his career. This is the artist’s twenty-second solo exhibition at the gallery. Günther Förg’s work was characterised by his multidisciplinary approach, the diversity of thematic references and motifs, and his preoccupation with modernist art and architecture. Since the early 1970s, Förg thus created an œuvre that includes paintings and drawings as well as sculptures, photographs and wall paintings. The mostly abstract and monochrome paintings of the early years are a signifcant departure from the fgurative painting that dominated Germany at the time. Examples of Förg’s work, including paintings and photographs (as well as three sketches for Förg exhibitions at Galerie Max Hetzler Cologne from 1983) can be found in the large ground foor exhibition space on Potsdamer Strasse. Förg’s approach to abstract art from a purely formal point of view, albeit with references to modernist art and to the vernacular of art history, allows the viewer to experience a pictorial expression which focuses exclusively on the fundamentals of painting. Looking at the sometimes monumental works, such as a […]

Thomas Sommer | DA IST NUR ZUKUNFT | REITER | Berlin prospect | 29.04.-11.06.2022
until 11.06. | #3459ARTatBerlin | REITER | Berlin prospect presents from 29. April 2022 the exhibition DA IST NUR ZUKUNFT by the artist Thomas Sommer. Opening for Gallery Weekend Berlin next week. Thomas Sommer is showing large multi-part works created over the last three years. Thomas Sommer paints sublime landscapes inspired by the impact of nature and its magnificence on the soul and body. His work specifically refers to the Romantic tradition of landscape painting and uses colour palettes and painterly gestures by greats of the art historical canon such as Caspar David Friedrich, Iwan Aiwazowski, Johann Heinrich Füssli or even William Turner. Painted two centuries after the models Sommer cites, however, his landscapes show traces of our present-day relationship to a natural environment irreversibly damaged by us humans. Sommer’s work aims to make tangible the problematic position of nature in our relationships to life as an object of ongoing public concern. In his latest works, Thomas Sommer combines several paintings into a compositional whole in order to capture the complexity of the subject of his choice. On a metaphorical level, this reveals the fractured relationship to nature, while the bringing together of individual parts to form a whole painting […]

Jeremy Demester | Djemy | Galerie Max Hetzler | 29.04.-18.06.2022
until 18.06. | #3458ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler shows from 29. April 2022 in the Goethestraße 2/3 the exhibition Djemy with works by the artist Jeremy Demester. In this exhibition, the artist addresses his culture as a Tzigane, specifcally of Kalderash Roma and Sinti origins. The term Tzigane will be used in the following text for clarity purposes; nevertheless, Tzigane people are not a homogeneous ethnic group. There are signifcant nuances in the traditions of each group and family, refected in particular in the wide variations in their respective languages. The artist and his family have written a few words in Kalderash Romanes to introduce the exhibition: To li yaka télé, « Roraves ko roramno pes ané lesko poaré », A djes o mai zuralo Kai rovel anglal savorende, Kanasi baro lanso konik nachtil poutreles, Papirocha vai douano akarel lé gras.

On the quest to explore his own roots, artist Jeremy Demester has followed the history of the Tzigane people, within Europe to Northern […]

Henrik Strömberg | object amnesic: a compost manifesto | Dorothée Nilsson Gallery | 23.04.-25.06.2022
until 25.06. | #3457ARTatBerlin | Dorothée Nilsson Gallery presents from 23. April 2022 (Opening: 22.04.) the exhibition “object amnesic: a compost manifesto” by the artist Henrik Strömberg. Dorothée Nilsson Gallery presents “object amnesic: a compost manifesto” by Henrik Strömberg. The artist works with the accumulation of materials, gathering of images, and the idea of transformation: from functions of information towards form itself and the shadow left in its wake. Strömberg layers his works, at times literally, at times figuratively. What could be a shadow reveals itself to be a tree pressed up against a window, shaped by an invisible glass layer. Nature peaks through in a multitude of ways. The idea of the compost in its natural and metaphorical form continues all through the photographic works and in the video installation piece seconds away which refers back to Strömberg’s recent publication in collaboration with Jens Soneryd object amnesic: a compost manifesto which serves as a point of reference throughout the exhibition. Opening: Friday, 22. April 2022, 6:00 – 9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 23. April – Saturday, 25. June 2022 Special opening for the Gallery Weekend: Saturday, 30. April and Sunday, 1.

Willi Sitte + Ulrich Reimkasten | Utopie und Reflektion | Galerie feinart berlin | 07.04.-14.05.2022
until 14.05. | #3454ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin presents since 7. April 2022 the exhibition Utopie und Reflektion by the artists Willi Sitte und Ulrich Reimkasten at Galerie Beyond.Reality (Schlüterstraße 70, Berlin-Charlottenburg). As a guest at Galerie Beyond.Reality, feinart berlin is showing early drawings and inks by Ulrich Reimkasten next to colored zinkographs by Willi Sitte. Both positions mark the crossroads of two East German generations of artists. Willi Sitte, For Gian Lorenzo Bernini, colored zinkographs, 1990 © feinartberlin The “Hommages to the Masters” are a series of prints that Willi Sitte (1921-2013) produced in the last decade before and in the years after the collapse of the GDR, each dedicated to an artist from the vast period between Renaissance and Modern Art. Willi Sitte, For James Ensor, colored zinkographs, 1996 © feinartberlin What is Sitte doing in these colored zincographs, which are full of symbols and partly executed in the manner of the old masters? Is it a throwback to his early idols? Or a disillusioned confrontation with the guard rails of socialist realism, after the expectation of salvation from the achievement of communism that Khrushchev promised in 1961 for the year 1980 had long since turned out to […]

until 17.06. | #3453ARTatBerlin | Kicken Berlin presents from 30. April 2022 (Opening: 29.04.) the exhibition Projects (MoMA 1973 et al.) by the artist Klaus Rinke. Haubrok foundation shows Wasserwerk Rinke at the same time (Opening there: 24.04.). On the occasion of the Gallery Weekend, Kicken Berlin, in cooperation with the Haubrock foundation, is showing extensive work complexes from the 1960s to the 1980s by Klaus Rinke (*1939) in two parallel exhibition projects. Rinke counts among the most important contemporary artists internationally. As a pioneer of performance and action art, his works explored the relationship between body in space and time. Trained at the Folkwangschule in Essen from 1957-1960 and then a professor of sculpture in Dusseldorf from 1974 until 2004, Rinke feels at home in a variety of disciplines and embodies like few others an expanded definition of the artist. He is drawer, painter, photographer, sculptor, action, and concept artist at once. The haubrok foundation’s exhibition of the series Wasserwerk Rinke focuses on early performative works and is accompanied by the exhibition Sequenzen. Konzeptuelle Fotographie by Angelika Platen, which shows Rinke’s environment in the 1970s. Entitled Klaus Rinke | Projects (MoMA 1973 et al.), Kicken Berlin will present a […]

John M. Armleder | Solid Coated | mehdi chouakri (Fasanenplatz) | 30.04.-.23.07.2022
until 23.07. | #3451ARTatBerlin | Galerie mehdi chouakri presents two exhibitions “Solid Coated” with new works by the artist John M. Armleder from 30. April 2022 (Opening: 28.04.). The exhibitions will be shown in the Galerie am Fasanenplatz and in the new opened premises of the gallery in the Wilhelm Hallen (Kopenhagener Straße 60-72, 13407 Berlin-Reinickendorf). Armleder’s artistic career dates back to the late 1960s. As a co-founder of Groupe Ecart (1969), he was closely associated with the Fluxus-movement, his practice being characterised by musical and performative experiments, as well as installations. Since then, he has developed a polymorphous body of work that includes performances, drawings, paintings and sculptures. He achieved international fame in particular through his Furniture Sculptures series, created in 1979. In these series, Armleder combines classics of furniture design with painting, thus taking up questions of the ready-made and addressing the iconic significance of the work of art as an accessory. Combinatorics, chance and the connection between art and life are central aspects of his artistic practice. The dissolution of any compositional schemes and the randomness in the creative process are visualised in his Pour and Puddle Paintings. By pouring and mixing different colours and materials, the […]

Jan Ros | Silent City | Rasche Ripken | 29.04.-02.07.2022
until 02.07. | #3449ARTatBerlin | RASCHE RIPKEN shows from 29. April 2022 the exhibition „Silent City“ by the Dutch artist Jan Ros. City, architecture, mobility – these are themes Jan Ros has explored for a long time. Using photographs as source material, he transforms them into multifarious paintings mainly oriented toward space and object, but which also engender abstract passages defined entirely by color. He switches the degree of acuity and path of movement depending on the subject, modeling sculptural volumes out of broad brushstrokes, and working with stencil-like inserts and sharp contours that stand out from their painted surroundings like cut-outs. Jan Ros, Hansa Staircase, 2022, oil on wood Ros’s repertoire includes urban landscapes and famous modernist, International-style buildings, as well as images of cars and airplanes, or of transitory sites like gas stations and transit terminals, which often recollect filmed images, like scenes from a road movie. Jan Ros, Tow Truck, 2022, oil on wood Furthermore, his paintings of empty interiors – which feature views of urban panoramas through a window – also demonstrate that the interaction of inside and outside, light and shade, plays an important role in his pictorial compositions. Opening: Friday, 29. April 2022, 6:00 […]

Allan McCollum | Works 1970-1973 | Galerie Thomas Schulte | 23.04.-04.06.2022
until 04.06. | #3447ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte shows from 23. April 2022 (Opening on 22.04.) the solo-exhibition Works 1970-1973 by the artist Allan McCollum. As part of this year’s Gallery Weekend Berlin, Galerie Thomas Schulte presents an exhibition of Allan McCollum’s early series of paintings in its Main Space, alongside an interactive project created in collaboration with Matt Mullican in the gallery’s Corner Space. McCollum’s Constructed Paintings and Bleach Paintings series (both begun in 1969) reveal the processes of their making – of building up and stripping down, accumulating and erasing, respectively – while emphasizing mechanical repetition and systemized production. In the collaborative project Your Fate (2004), repetitive action and chance outcomes converge in the form of a fortune-telling dice game, which visitors can participate in during Gallery Weekend Berlin. Taken as a whole, the works in the exhibition illuminate McCollum’s serial, though variegated approach, as well as his ongoing engagement with typology. Opening: Friday, 22. April 2022, 6:00 – 9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 23. April – Saturday, 4. June 2022 Special opening for the Gallery Weekend Berlin: Friday, 29. April to Sunday, 1.

Simone Kornfeld | Turbulenzen | Köppe Contemporary | 12.04.-07.05.2022
until 07.05. | #3445ARTatBerlin | Köppe Contemporary presents from 12. April 2022 (Opening on 08.04.) the exhibition Turbulenzen by the artist Simone Kornfeld. Light and the unlimited play a primary role in Simone Kornfeld’s art: exploring the possibilities of colour to the extreme, as well as the dissolution of limitations, are two of her themes. Simone Kornfeld has developed her oeuvre from her decades of experimentation with the phenomenon of colour. Colour action, colour intensity and colour movement are the dominant stylistic elements of her art. Simone Kornfeld paints her large-format pictures with verve, layer by layer: “I paint with my bare fingers around the picture lying on the floor, circling in a dance-like, playful movement.” Simone Kornfeld, Unter dem Himmel sein, 2016, 160 x 140 cm, Oil / Canvas Despite all the different aesthetic approaches in her art, the references in her oeuvre to lyrical and gestural abstract painting are unmistakable. There is no standstill in this painting. The richness of colours, colour swirls and eddies, braid-like forming or dissolving line webs as well as diagonal, horizontal and vertical interconnections lend the artist’s motifs a lively characteristic that oscillates between the micro and macro levels. They are as reminiscent […]

The Swiss artist Harald Oskar Naegeli became known worldwide as the Sprayer of Zurich at the end of the 1970s because he spray-painted Zurich’s public space with his illegal wall drawings.

Accurate Glitch | group show | Jarmuschek + Partner | 23.04.-04.06.2022
until 04.06. | #3443ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner shows from 23. April 2022 (Opening on 22.04.) the group exhibition Accurate Glitch by the artists Filip Gudović, Luc Palmer, Katharina Stadler, Andreas Steinbrecher and Denise Werth. Jarmuschek + Partner presents five artists from the class of Prof. Thomas Scheibitz at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Under the title Accurate Glitch, paintings and three-dimensional works by Filip Gudović, Luc Palmer, Katharina Stadler, Andreas Steinbrecher and Denise Werth will be shown. The individual artistic approaches presented here are united by the acceptance of the flawed as the basis for the work: even the planned and accurate action in the creative process is by no means a guarantee for the absence of glitches. Understanding this as a challenge, the artists constructively deal with ideas and expectations regarding the subject and in comparison to the resulting work. A reflection on this is also possible for the viewer. Filip Gudovic (*1992 in Belgrade, Serbia) creates a system in his paintings by means of geometry, which guides the distribution of colors and shapes. In each painting he explores the freedoms of intuition within the self-imposed construction. Abstraction is both process and method to precede the developement of the […]

Bitter Springtime | EIGENHEIM Berlin | 30.04.–04.06.2022
until 04.06. | #3442ARTatBerlin | EIGENHEIM Berlin shows from 30. April 2022 (Opening: 29.04.) the exhibition Bitter Springtime as a statement group show of the gallery’s artists. Many upheavals and upheavals are shaping our time, key questions and special features of the present are in the process of unfolding. Depending on one’s point of view, some of these processes of consciousness-raising can even be optimistic – be it the insight into man-made climate change or the first black woman judge on the US Supreme Court. We also seemed to have mastered the pandemic at the moment. We have strengthened our capacity for resilience and realised that solidarity makes us, at least a large part of society. After another winter full of restrictions, we looked forward optimistically and longingly to the beginning of spring – and yet things turned out differently again. A war in Europe is shaking us, inflation is rising, defence budgets are being increased – shocking news from the war zone reaches us daily. In addition, there are other conflicts: the rainforest is burning more than ever under Bolsonaro, there are armed conflicts on 5 out of 7 continents, living conditions in the most disadvantaged regions of the […]

Joanna Buchowska | Die dritte Hälfte | Galerie Martin Mertens | 26.04.-04.06.2022
until 04.06. | #3441ARTatBerlin | Galerie Martin Mertens presents from 26. April 2022 the exhibition “Die dritte Hälfte” by the artist Joanna Buchowska. Berlin-based artist Joanna Buchowska is a master of paper collage. She draws from a huge archive of magazines from different decades and with very different content. The spectrum ranges from home and furnishing magazines to fashion magazines to National Geographic or architecture magazines. In a very unusual technique, she sometimes assembles entire building parts to create new buildings or uses elements in a completely different context, so that a room ceiling can become steps or green ladies’ pumps appear at first glance as moss or lichen on a tree trunk. Black and white photos from the 50s or 60s can stand harmoniously next to photos from the 90s in one work and together form an exciting alien-like scenery. Her works have a high painterly quality. They almost seem like painting with paper and sometimes the paper scraps are directly complemented by small painterly interventions or the painting acts as a connecting element between different collaged photos. The paper scraps are glued to a canvas so that they take on a more solid object character than a framed […]

Shingo Francis + Bodo Korsig | lost in paradise | Galerie SCHMALFUSS BERLIN | 23.04.-21.05.2022
until 21.05. | #3439ARTatBerlin | Galerie SCHMALFUSS BERLIN presents from 23. April 2022 the duo-exhibition „lost in paradise“ with paintings by Shingo Francis and objects, drawings and installations by Bodo Korsig. Shingo Francis is best known for his purist and abstract paintings that seem to change color depending on their interaction with light. We experience spherical landscapes and geometric shapes that almost radiate an inner enlightenment. Bodo Korsig’s artistic work includes drawings, spatial installations, objects and videos. The focus of his art is the theme of human behavior patterns under extreme conditions. In our exhibition the artist will present objects and installations made of various materials as well as drawings on paper. Bodo Korsig, lost in thought, 2020, Aluminium, Öl, Lack, 80 x 80 x 5 cm The exhibition „lost in paradise“ at the gallery SCHMALFUSS BERLIN captivates with an exciting dialogue between two exceptional artists, who have known each other since 1995, are friends and inspire each other. “Both of us move frequently between Asia, Europe and America, both professionally and privately; moreover, in addition to our passion for art and travel, we are also united by our common fascination for surfing,” says Bodo Korsig. The internationally renowned artists have […]

William Grob + Valère Mougeot | LOST MILLENNIALS | Luisa Catucci Gallery | 06.05.-25.06.2022
bis 25.06. | #3438ARTatBerlin | Luisa Catucci Gallery presents from 6. May 2022 (Opening on 05.05) the duo-exhibition LOST MILLENNIALS with painting and sculpture by the artists William Grob and Valère Mougeot. The exhibition LOST MILLENNIALS presents a dialog between British artist William Grob, and French artist Valère Mougeot, both part of the Millennials Generation, also known as Generation Y. The show takes the title from the series of paintings that William Grob started during the pandemic, when for the first time he – like most people of his whole generation – experienced the time going on a less speedy rhythm, allowing him to catch up with his thoughts and reflections on life, identity, and circumstances. The same happened to Valère Mougeot, that took advantage of the forced stop to ponder on his situation and ended up deciding to quit his secure job as a graphic designer to plunge into a full-time investigation of reality through his artistic practice. Valère Mougeot, Pigeons Millennials are facing a rough time figuring out their position, being lost, and confused by the schizophrenic-bipolar claims of modern society. They are required at the same time to be ecological, though compulsive consumers, to be sympathetic, though […]

until 19.06 | #3437ARTatBerlin | EBENSPERGER BERLIN presents from 29. April 2022 the exhibition “Ökonomische Päpste und Päpstinnen” (<Economic Popes and Women Popes) by the artist Lea Draeger.

Paul Pretzer | Früchte einer Freundschaft | FeldbuschWiesnerRudolph | 29.04.-04.06.2022
until 04.06. | #3436ARTatBerlin | FeldbuschWiesnerRudolph (FWR) shows from 29. April 2022 the exhibition Früchte einer Freundschaft (<Fruits of a friendship) by the artist Paul Pretzer. The “fruits of a love” are… – so the common answer: children. What are the “fruits of a friendship”…? Turkish-born children’s author Arzu Gürz Abay tells about it as a metaphor for intercultural friendship and a common action. Based on sympathy, trust and mutual support, one can rest in it and draw from it. And perhaps Estonian-born artist Paul Pretzer (born 1981 in Paide, Estonia; lives and works in Barcelona) chose this title for his exhibition for good and timely reasons. To remind that peoples have common roots. And that even a newly gained personal independence does not abandon the friendship cultivated over generations – on the contrary, it brings new opportunities and ever new fruits. “In addition to the formal harmony of the image, I pay particular attention to its ambiguity” Paul Pretzer Thus, in the pictorial cosmos of the painting of the artist Paul Pretzer, new figures and beings are also constantly “born”. And there are re-encounters. For example, when “The Idiot” also finally finds a shell that sticks to his back. […]

Thorsten Brinkmann | MEER ALS DAS | FeldbuschWiesnerRudolph | 29.04.-04.06.2022
until 04.06. | #3435ARTatBerlin | FeldbuschWiesnerRudolph (FWR) presents from 29. April 2022 the exhibition MEER ALS DAS by the artist Thorsten Brinkmann. „In my bronzes they (= the things) are robbed of their actual function. (…) Basically they are only sculpture. Representatives of themselves.” (Thorsten Brinkmann, 2022) As a medial novelty in the artist’s repertoire, a parcours of miniature bronze sculptures populates the exhibition spaces of the gallery. In fact, they continue an endless series of works begun years ago, that of the “True Romans” (2005/06), which the artist has now cast in bronze and partially painted in color. One example is the symbiotic connection between a funnel and a power plug cable. In between are new sculptures such as the ostrich leather handbag running along on dog legs with the gallant title “Lifti L`Otrûche”. All seemingly vibrant constellations with playful ease – though they are difficult to lift. Thorsten Brinkmann, Äglyle, 2022, C-print and Found object, 40 x 30 x 11 cm „At the moment I am working on new visual pieces. (…) They are surreal-looking horizons, combined with real found objects. (…) It’s a romanticized view, of course; (…) into the distant infinity, constructed through the close up […]

Gulu | photoraphy works | Migrant Bird Space | 13.05.-17.06.2022
until 17.06. | #3470ARTatBerlin | Migrant Bird Space presents from 13. May 2022 the exhibition with photoraphy works by the artist Li Xiang alias Gulu. Born in 1983 in China, Li Xiang graduated from Beijing Film Academy, majoring in Film and Television Advertising. Took up photography in 2008, he initially started focusing on contemporary Chinese subcultures, the idea of the body as a weapon, and the reality as the foundation of existence, constantly trying to reject definitions and labels. In recent years, Gulu’s goal has been to restore the identity of those who have been “materialized” by society; to do so, he employs different techniques, such as photography, texts, handwork, and painting. Gulu, Ausstellung “Suddenly Retreating Desire”, Simulacra Studio, Beijing, 2020 In his latest solo exhibition “Suddenly Retreating Desire” Li Xiang encourage young people from all over the world to show their true self in front of the camera. He furthermore reconstructs by hand the reality depicted in the Polaroids taken, breaking the limitations of the square and blurring the boundary between photography and painting. As an artist whose main theme is the body, Gulu argues it is not an object, but the embodiment of emotions; it has nothing to […]

Deni Horvatić | SCAN | nüüd.berlin gallery | 03.06.-16.07.2022
until 16.07. | #3469ARTatBerlin | nüüd.berlin gallery presents from 3. June 2022 (Opening: 02.06.) the exhibition SCAN with works by the Croatian artist Deni Horvatić. In Horvatić’s life-size photographs of scenes from everyday life, the artist removes the distance between the environment and the sitter by choosing a particular point of view: Shot from below, the images hide as much as they reveal, for they deny the viewer a glimpse of the part of the body we most immediately associate with identity – the face. Deni Horvatić: SCAN, Bedroom 1-3, 2020, C-Print mounted on Dibond, 220 x 168 The best portraits give us the intimate feeling of being face to face with the person portrayed. But even in the most intimate embrace, the constraints of the physical world prevent us from fully uniting with that person; two bodies cannot command the same point in space. Deni Horvatić: SCAN, Accident 1-6, 2020, C-Print mounted on Dibond, 142 x 83 cm Deni Horvatić defies this in his SCAN project. Using a scanner-like camera, the artist records his subjects in such a way that the viewer is offered a point of view that he literally shares with the sitter: I see you from […]

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 […]
