Abfallprodukte der Liebe. | Akademie der Künste Pariser Platz | 18.05.-12.08.2018
until 12.08. | From 18 May 2018, the Akademie der Künste (Pariser Platz) will present the exhibition “Waste Products of Love”, an exhibition of works by Elfi Mikesch, Rosa von Praunheim and Werner Schroeter with films, performances, talk shows and discussions. Elfi Mikesch, Rosa von Praunheim and Werner Schroeter (1945-2010) embody a generation of exceptionally versatile artists, who have cooperated creatively with each other since their joint departure in 1968 and who have devoted themselves to a poetry of transgression in life and work. Elfi Mikesch, photographer, cinematographer and director, Rosa von Praunheim, filmmaker, painter, author and activist, and Werner Schroeter, film, theater and opera director – she unites her offensive advocacy for divergent sexualities and their artist friendship. Elfi Mikesch, Rosa von Praunheim, Werner Schroeter © Collague by Markus Tiarks from photographies of Elfi Mikesch and Rosa von Praunheim Following the film Poussières d’Amour (1996) by Werner Schroeter, the exhibition “Waste Products of Love” will for the first time present photographs, films, pictorial works, sound installations and documents in the form of walk-in spaces, which fan out the diverse aesthetic and biographical relationships , From their common roots in the West Berlin art scene, a bridge has been built […]

Sven Hoffmann | Pretty Close | Photography Exhibition | 26.03.-07.04.2018
The Berlin photographer Sven Hoffmann is showing the exhibition “Pretty Close” with a selection of his photographs in a pop up gallery, Torstraße 138 in Berlin-Mitte until April 7, 2018. Wild distorted faces of boxers, burlesque dancers in ecstasy, marathon runners after the finish, rock musicians in absolute euphoria. Always pretty close. People under power shape Sven Hoffmann’s photographs. But he is not fascinated by the spectacle of a scene; the emotion unleashed in bodies is the true event: the concentrated endurance, the moment of euphoria, laughter or weeping – they are the focus of the images. EXHIBITION VISIT – Virtual tour of the exhibition “Pretty Close” by photographer Sven Hoffmann at Torstraße 138 as 360 degree panorama: When marathon runners reach the finish line after 42 km, the Berlin photographer does not show us the finish line or the body, but looks straight into the athlete’s faces, which burst with pain, exhaustion and happiness at the same time. We always come so close to the people, standing in the middle of the ring, are live on stage and yet always remain invisible observers, who cheer with respectful restraint. Never will your own look become the theme of […]

Underground and Improvisation | Academy of Arts Hanseatenweg | 15.03.-06.05.2018
until 06.05. | The Academy of Arts (Hanseatenweg) is currently showing “Underground and improvisation – alternative music and art after 1968” with exhibitions, concerts and discourses. From 15 March to 6 May 2018, two exhibitions on the subject of underground and improvisation will focus on alternative music and art movements in East and West in the Academy building on Hanseatenweg, from the year of the student revolt and the Prague Spring to the reunification period in Berlin and Eastern Europe , The extensive accompanying program consists of a concert series, film screenings, panel discussions and an interdisciplinary symposium. The exhibition “Notes from the Underground – Alternative Art and Music in Eastern Europe 1968 – 1994” is dedicated to a generation of artists who, in contrast to official culture, acted at the interface of visual art, video art and experimental music. Censorship and lack led to imaginative and often ironic ways of working. On display will be a selection of occasionally never-released contemporary witnesses, including musical instruments created by artists themselves, Super 8 films, Samizdat journals, and documentary recordings of performances. The exhibition “Free Music Production / FMP: The Living Music” presents the history of Free Music Production (1968 – 2010), […]

Hamburger Bahnhof free admission once a month | from 05.04.2018
From 5th April 2018, admission to the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum for Contemporary Art – Berlin is free on every first Thursday of the month from 4 to 8 p.m. Made possible by the Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft and created for a year under the motto “VOLKSWAGEN ART 4 ALL” the House of the National Gallery and the presented permanent and special exhibitions are to be opened and arranged to a large audience.

With this commitment, the Volkswagen Group enables a wider audience to visit the museum. It would be great if this example were followed by other sponsors and partners. […]

Performance Yvon Chabrowski | Dorothée Nilsson Gallery | 24.03.2018
On March 24, 2018, the Dorothée Nilsson Gallery presents “CASSANDRA / MOTION PATTERNS”, a live performance by Yvon Chabrowski with performers Josephine Findeisen, Martina Garbelli and Thomas Radin. This performance will be part of the current exhibition “Faces and Movements” by Yvon Chabrowski. Surveillance systems can not be seen, felt, tasted or smelled. They are invisible and yet there. In the first act, the live performance CASSANDRA / MOTION PATTERNS recapitulates the invisible image frames that surround our bodies. When is one in the focus of a camera or an algorithm? In the second act, movements and gestures are performed that feed monitoring systems to assess behavior. Liberated from the complexity of human encounter and reduced to the pattern of movement to which surveillance systems may respond, they are fragmented. CASSANDRA / MOTION PATTERN questions the observer’s view of the framework conditions of boundaries and freedom. Performance: Saturday, March 24th, 2018, 5:00 p.m. Image caption: Stills from the video installation FACIAL EMOTIONS (2017) by Yvon Chabrowski Performance by Yvon Chabrowski – Dorothée Nilsson Gallery | ART at Berlin

Andrew Phelps + Paul Kranzler | The Drake Equation | Robert Morat Galerie | 26.05.-28.07.2018
until 28.07. | #2036ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie shows from 26th May 2018 the exhibition “The Drake Equation” with photographies by the artists Andrew Phelps and Paul Kranzler. A book launch will take place at the opening reception on 25th May. The “National Radio Quiet Zone” was established in the 1950s in the state of Virginia. There are no radio or TV broadcasts and cell phones do not work – no radio wave is to disturb the grotesque, huge telescopes in their search for traces of extraterrestrial life. Photographers Andrew Phelps and Paul Kranzler visit a place where a bizarre mixture of people lives together: the rural population of a provincial town, the highly specialized scientists of the research facility and city dwellers fleeing electromagnetic fields, electro-sensitive civilization refugees. “I think that in the photographic work that you now hold in your hands, there are many things involved, time and science and technology and nature. For me, however, it is essentially a work on America“, writes Alard von Kittlitz in the text to the accompanying book, that has been published by Fountain Books Berlin.

Chenchenchen | THE MERCY OF NOT KILLING | Migrant Bird Space | 16.06.-20.07.2018
until 20.07. | #2035ARTatBerlin | Migrant Bird Space presents from 16th June 2018 the exhibition THE MERCY OF NOT KILLING by the artist Chenchenchen. Chenchenchen (陈陈陈, a.k.a. ccc, b. 1987) is a Chinese conceptual artist best known for his performance “The Mercy of Not Killing 2.0”, in which he hung ten construction workers from the rims of a 34-meter high tower. In his work, ccc often employs the human body to ponder the social conditions of modern society. Working in performance, digital art, painting and sculpture simultaneously, his multi-medial projects interact and constitute a series of parallel worlds. They are coherently arranged into ccc’s futuristic panorama of “Poor Sci-Fi”: a techno-dystopian vision derived from the struggles of everyday life. Performance of Mercy of Not Killing 2.0 in Wuxi, Feb. 2017 © Image courtesy ccc – UCCA Beijing His work is smart and spectacular, addressing issues specific to Chinese culture while noting the individual ramifications of life in a globalised world. Where traditional values and norms seem suspended, ccc projects a humanistic vision, highlighting the positive powers of universal human values. Following ccc’s seminal presentation at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing in 2017 and numerous exhibitions in China, this […]

Ebrahim Ehrari.80 | Anniversary Exhibition | Galerie Berlin-Baku | 27.05.–27.07.2018
until 27.07. | #2023ARTatBerlin | Galerie Berlin-Baku shows from 27th May 2018 the anniversary exhibition “Ebrahim Ehrari.80” on the occasion of the 80th birthday of the artist. The master of Aquatinta has turned 80! On the occasion of Ebrahim Ehrari’s 80th birthday we, the Gallery Berlin-Baku & qgallery are dedicating him a jubilee exhibition from May 27 to July 27, 2018, that gives very good insights into his comprehensive artistic life’s work. The exhibition shows the wide range of his artistic work from the beginning of the seventies until today. The main focus of the show is primarily graphics with seemingly surrealistic and metaphorical imagery in addition to colorful paintings and early optical illusions. The artworks reflect the rich and diverse life experiences of the artist, show many motifs enriched with symbols and also hints at critical debates with society and politics. Ebrahim Ehrari, Verteidigung, 1974 Aqua tinta, 30 x 40 cm Many years Ebrahim Ehrari’s artistic work focused on graphics (especially Aqua Tinta) – and he was a master of his trade. His metaphorical encrypted imagery contains elements of surrealism, the game with perspectives and spaces, picking up proportions and bringing together different levels of reality. The balance between European […]

As far as the eye can see – landscape today | Galerie Verein Berliner Künstler | 26.05.-17.06.2018
until 17.06. | #2033ARTatBerlin | Galerie Verein Berliner Künstler (VBK) presents from 26th May 2018 the group exhibition “As far as the eye can see – landscape today” [Soweit das Auge reicht – Landschaft heute]. Nine international artists present their work on the subject of landscape from the current point of view of the Verein Berliner Künstler. The artists show painting, drawing and video installation until June 17, 2018. For the opening on Friday, 25. May at 19:00 invites the historically significant artist association in his gallery on Schöneberger Ufer 57 (not far from the Kulturforum and Potsdamer Straße in the district Tiergarten – Mitte). As a separate subject, the landscape has entered late into art history. The independent genre was the landscape painting in the Dutch art of the 17th century. Nature itself became – so it is said – for the first time the object of interest. The landscape painters of the turn of the century illustrate a confrontation with the increasingly technical world of industrialization and an attempt to escape it. Is landscape a concrete place of longing or is it the fictional home of a better existence? Grown up, without any intervention on the part of […]

CONDITION: UNCANNY | Gruppenausstellung | EIGEN + ART Lab | 25.04.-19.05.2018
until 19.05. | #2032ARTatBerlin | EIGEN + ART Lab currently shows the exhibition CONDITION: UNCANNY with artworks of the class Birgit Brenner: Antonia Christl, Laura Fröhlich, Suah Im and Jakob Tyroller. “The miracles are many, but the greatest is man.” 1 -Sophokles, Antigone Many attempts have been made to translate the lines quoted above from Sophocles’ Antigone. According to some translations, this means: There are many miracles, none is greater than man. At the same time, however, it can also be interpreted as follows: There are many miracles, none is more miraculous than humans. The word “miracle” seems to have a certain ambiguity in its different implications. Especially in the course of various translations into German, the passage from Antigone has undergone a fundamental change of meaning. So Hölderlin chose in his German interpretation of 1804 the word “monster”. In his introduction to metaphysics (1953), Heidegger in turn decided that it was “uncanny” (English: “uncanny”): “Manifoldly the uncanny, nothing more / beyond man beyond eerie.” According to Freud, the uncanny is the psychological experience of feeling something familiar and foreign at the same time. Unlike something that is merely mysterious, the uncanny refers to a state in which an event or […]

Jessica Backhaus | A Trilogy | Robert Morat Galerie | 10.05.-20.05.2018
until 20.05. | #2031ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie presents from 10th May 2018 as a short interlude the exhibition “A Trilogy” with new works by the artist Jessica Backhaus. On Himmelfahrt (Ascension Day), May 10th, the gallery is open. Robert Morat Gallery is thrilled to present as an intermission, just for 10 days, new work by gallery artist Jessica Backhaus! With her new series “A Trilogy“, published by Kehrer Verlag, Jessica Backhaus resolutely pursues a path towards a pictorial abstraction that was already foreseeable in her last works. The trilogy consists of three new series: Staged Still Life Studies titled “Shifting Clouds”, minimalistic color and light experiments titled “Beyond Blue” and – in fact a completely new step for the documentary photographer Jessica Backhaus – freely associated, poetic mixed media works and collages under the title “New Horizon“. Jessica Backhaus, Planets, 2016 Pigment Print, 40 x 60 cm, edition of 5 Jessica Backhaus, Presence, 2016, Collage Pigment Print Tape and other Material, 21 x 30 cm + 30 x 42 cm, edition of 5 Jessica Backhaus is considered one of the most distinguished voices in contemporary photography out of Germany today. Her work is published and exhibited internationally and […]

Anselm Kiefer | Life Time – World Time | Galerie Bastian | 12.05.-28.07.2018
until 18.07. | #2030ARTatBerlin | Galerie Bastian presents from 12th May 2018 the exhibition “Life Time – World Time” by the artist Anselm Kiefer. Galerie Bastian is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Anselm Kiefer, the first exhibition in Germany of sculpture in vitrines. The artist’s works have evolved from his continuous dialogue with European literature since its origins in Antiquity and its multi-faceted poetic and narrative traditions. Anselm Kiefer addresses archetypes of the Bible, Jewish mysticism, the poetry of Ingeborg Bachmann, Paul Celan, Rainer Maria Rilke and the sculptural work of Auguste Rodin and Joseph Beuys. Surprisingly free metamorphoses arise from ordinary ›non-artistic‹ materials in Kiefer’s latest works. It is deeply rooted in Kiefer’s consciousness that every poem, every myth, spiritually longborn, profane or archaic from any time period, requires a claim to transfer the magic of a beginning into one’s own time. Undoubtedly, this idea touches upon all quotidian and metaphysical dimensions, physics and poetry, the world of Christian and Jewish worship, the philosophical questions of meaning, dogma and guilt, the invisible world, the ›miraculous‹ when it obtains the world of the phantastic and means Benjamin’s »profane enlightenment«. Approaching those philosophical questions beyond any purpose requires no […]

Hinrich Kröger | стиль | Atelier Hinrich Kröger – Volkskunst Berlin | 27.04.-10.06.2018
until 10.06. | #2028ARTatBerlin | Atelier Hinrich Kröger shows from 27th April 2018 the exhibition “стиль” by the artist Hinrich Kröger. During Gallery Weekend the gallery will be open from 1 to 7 pm. A French bulldog on a wall plate, painted in gold and turquoise, peered lustfully at a service around which golden pugs drape. In the shop window, royal poodles with raspberry-red nose sniffing on a floor vase, while Luigi next to it in a stripper pose and with a tattooed, aroused Gemächt – the center of the sculpture – on a kind of golden cake rotates. Greyhound ladies and charmers wear it in the atelier Hinrich Kröger ‘Old Fashionable Haute Couture’, painted on faience, engobe, clay and porcelain, exhibited in Berlin and New York City. Since 1995/96, the works of the artist and potter Hinrich Kröger have been produced at Gipsstraße 13 in Berlin-Mitte – paintings on ceramics, sculptures made of clay and porcelain, drawings. The Berliner learned the profession of potter, worked in various ceramics workshops and then studied painting at the College of Fine Arts. After graduating, he founded his gallery and workshop in today’s gallery district of Berlin’s center. Here Hinrich Kröger shows his works […]

Rebecca Ackroyd | The Mulch | Peres Projects | 27.04.-15.06.2018
until 15.06. | #2027ARTatBerlin | Peres Projects shows from 27th April 2018 the exhibition “The Mulch” with artworks by the artist Rebecca Ackroyd. A friend recounted being in a tutorial at art school with an esteemed professor. They were looking at a Cindy Sherman, from the Untitled Movie Stills series. The subject was a woman, her back turned from the camera, standing by an empty roadside beside a small carry case. The professor asked if the case looked warm. My friend was puzzled, but started to look closer at the case – yeah, he thought, maybe it was warm. Maybe, thinking of that glow you get when people open chests in the movies – there was something warm inside it. Maybe, given the Noirish, Cold War stylings of the image (turned away from the viewer, the subject is inscrutable as a spy), something radioactive. Perhaps she’s going to hand over these hot goods, that’s why she’s on the road: on the run. The professor paused. ‘I asked if it looked worn’, he clarified. Not warm. And the tutorial went on. I still like my friend’s speculation better. Sometimes, the stories we tell, the interpretations we offer, when we don’t get […]

Edouard Baribeaud | An Old Story for Our Modern Times | Galerie Judin | 27.04.-09.06.2018
until 09.06. | #2026ARTatBerlin | Galerie Judin presents from 27th April 2018 the exhibition “An Old Story for Our Modern Times” by the artist Edouard Baribeaud. It is the third solo exhibition by Edouard Baribeaud at Galerie Judin. Following extensive travels through India, the German-Frenchman has recently made adventurous expeditions into distant, enchanted landscapes of longing into the picture. These can only be found in the paintings and watercolors of his latest work An Old Story for Our Modern Times (2017). Instead, enigmatic interiors and subtle portraits, rooted in European art and cultural history, were created. But although the artist no longer leads us through sensational outdoor spaces, his latest compositions have by no means lost their suspense and mystique. Because the view of the unknown has changed Baribeaud’s view of the known. He himself speaks of a rediscovery and remythmentation. The ten elaborately executed paintings and watercolors of the series all go back to Greco-Roman mythology. With his works Baribeaud u. a. the legends of Medusa, Odysseus, Narcissus and Penthesilea in the present – and entwined them with modern art historical references, including the Viennese Art Nouveau or the New Objectivity. The return to artistic movements of the early […]

David Mildner | Jack The Rabbit Is Sold | Griesbach ART | 28.04.-30.04.2018
until 30.04. | #2025ARTatBerlin | Griesbach ART and ARTCADIA Gallery show from 28th April 2018 the exhibition “Jack The Rabbit Is Sold” by the artist David Mildner at Pohlstraße 58 in Schöneberg. In his large-format works, David Mildner examines different forms of communications, paths through unseen structures and tools and devices to that end. Here he places the dynamics between the workds and it’s observer at the centre, thereby challenging and provoking both himself as the artist and the observer in their mode of empathetic self-conception, but without losing the analysis of this act. David Mildner is an artists that remains in control of these experiments and purport the entire experimental arrangement. “In my works, I try to create a timeless psychological projection surface on which mental non-places emerge through a concentrated convergence of worlds and ideas.” It is in these mental non-places or non-worlds where his works ultimately manifest themselves to the beholder. After initial studies in Hamburg and many years a working artist, David Mildner attained his Meisterschüler at the UdK Berlin Micheal Müller. Most recently David Mildners works have been shown in Hamburg, Kattowitz and Berlin. David Mildner – losing trains of thought – Öl auf Leinwand […]

Alexandru Rădvan | Untouchable Love | Anaid Art Gallery | 26.04.-26.05.2018
until 26.05. | #2024ARTatBerlin | Anaid Art Gallery shows from 26th April 2018 the exhibition UNTOUCHABLE LOVE with artworks by the artist Alexandru Rădvan. Anaid Art Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Alexandru Rădvan’s (born 1977) solo show Untouchable Love, showcasing his most recent artworks. Alexandru Rădvan is one of the most intriguing Romanian contemporary artist who for more than a decade has questioned the relationship between contemporary society and the ancient myths and mythology. The exhibition Untouchable Love presents a series of large paintings in which the artist reinterprets the myths of Apollo and Daphne from the Greek Mythology. Apollo, the god of light, day, and art, insults the god of love, Eros, who takes revenge on him by shooting him with the arrow of love. Apollo falls in love with the chaste Daphne; despite the certainty that he will never be able to convince her to reciprocate. Daphne, to get rid of Apollo, asks her father to transform her into a laurel tree, and Apollo, in a final gesture of affection, grants immortality to the bay leaves to make them eternally green. Alexandru Rădvan is a painter employing large and voluptuous surfaces and who reinterprets old […]

Bernard Föll | Stencil + Paintings | Andreas Reinsch Project | 18.03.-14.05.2018
until 14.05. | #2022ARTatBerlin | Andreas Reinsch Project currently shows the exhibition “Stencil & Paintings” by the artist Bernard Föll. Bernard Föll, born in Stuttgart in 1954, has lived in Berlin since 1974 and has been working here as an artist since the early 1980s. Föll works with a combination of techniques: the basis are stencils in which the often filigree figures are cut out with precision craftsmanship. He applies his motifs with Frotagetechniken in which several layers of paint are rolled onto the image, rubbed and dabbed. His latest works deal with the pictorial surface and its relation to the spatial.

Bill Jacobson + Giorgio Morandi | Robert Morat Galerie | 17.03.-05.05.2018
until 05.05. | #2021ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie currently shows an exhibition with photographs and drawings by the artist Bill Jacobson and Giorgio Morandi. This spring season and during Berlin Gallery Weekend 2018 Robert Morat Galerie is thrilled to be able to show photographs by American artist Bill Jacobson and drawings by Italian painter Giorgio Morandi. “Place (Series)” won Bill Jacobson a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2012. The American artist describes the images as “the result of inserting rectangles of various sizes and surfaces within both constructed and natural settings.” As opposed to the out-of-focus work for which Jacobson initially became known in the 1990s, these photographs speak to the perceptual interactions with the physical world that surrounds us, in some cases strongly referencing the famous still life studies by Italian painter Giorgio Morandi. Giorgio Morandi, 1890–1964, is considered one of the key figures of 20th century painting and a pioneer of abstraction. For his contemplative still lifes, he used simple bottles, cups, bowls and vessels that he kept rearranging. In Morandi’s late work, the objects were reduced to ever simpler geometrical forms. In his extensive graphic work Giorgio Morandi devoted himself mainly to the still life aswell and achieved a […]

ANDRO WEKUA | Sprüth Magers Berlin | 28.03.-08.09.2018
until 09.09. | #2020ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin presents from 28. April 2018 an exhibition by the artist ANDRO. At the center of Andro Wekua’s new exhibition at Sprüth Magers is a life-size sculpture made of nickel silver – a silver-like alloy of copper, nickel and zinc – and a group of paintings. The untitled sculpture recalls Wekua’s earlier mannequin figures and continues their subtle formal vocabulary. The androgynous figure appears situated between the sexes; its body has a prepubescent, almost childlike look. On the back of the sculpture sits a small, black bronze Pegasus with purple wings—a futuristic element, childish toy and mythical reference in one. The physical proportions of this figure are realistic only at first glance; they are unthinkable in real life. The figure is a composite of various, non-related body parts. Before casting, it was composed of miscellaneous models of real limbs. Even the sculpture’s body posture probes the limits of what is physically possible. It recalls the Christ figure in Michelangelo’s unfinished Rondanini Pietà. In the original, the Virgin Mary stands behind her dead son and tries to hold him upright. Wekua’s figure stands in a pool; water runs from parallel slits on its arms […]

Dietrich Walther | „Look at me …“ | White Square Gallery | 20.04.-02.06.2018
until 02.06. | #2019ARTatBerlin | White Square Gallery shows from 20th April 2018 the exhibition „Look at me …“ by the artist Dietrich Walther. In the solo exhibition “Look at me …”, the White Square Gallery presents selected works by the Berlin artist Dietrich Walther (* 1959, Wiesbaden). Since his studies in the 1980s, he worked as a freelance artist, first in the field of photography and later mainly as a painter. Today, he likes to experiment with different techniques and creates work groups in the fields of drawing, mixed media, and photography. In the White Square Gallery, Dietrich Walther presents sixteen paintings that have been produced over the last fifteen years, thus forming a kind of retrospective of his previous work. Although these works belong to different times and cycles, their cohesion is obvious. This reflects the aesthetic and thematic backgrounds that underlie the work, as well as the role models and inspirations of the artist but also his concerns and thus his real goal.

Tobias Wyrzykowski | UP IN THE EAST, DOWN IN THE WEST | lorch + seidel contemporary | 28.04.-09.06.2018
until 09.06. | #2015ARTatBerlin | lorch + seidel contemporary presents from 28th April 2018 the exhibition UP IN THE EAST, DOWN IN THE WEST by the artist Tobias Wyrzykowski. Tobias Wyrzykowski, born in 1987 in Würzburg, studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg. In 2002 he was a scholarship holder of the Cusanuswerk. In 2013, Prof. Michael Munding named him a master student. Here red paint pops on raw canvas and leaves a frayed blob. There it is poured thinly and runs to irregular color surfaces. Elsewhere, the color seems to run down to the edge of the picture or is wiped towards the center of the picture. The painting style is spontaneous and intuitive. At first glance, one would speak of abstraction. Yet there are motifs reminiscent of the familiar: sky, clouds, suns, stars, comets, horizons, sea, fire. But the color and its job on the canvas are already half the battle on the way there. The intense gradations of blue and turquoise, the way they mix and blend into each other, how the pure white clings to it … no, that’s not abstract, it’s a beach with a sea and foaming waves. The background image is […]

Bert Stern | Shapes + Symbols – Early advertising works 1953-1970 | Galerie 36 | 14.04.-21.07.2018
until 21.07. | #2004ARTatBerlin | Galerie 36 shows since 14th April the exhibition “Shapes & Symbols – Early advertising works 1953-1970” by the American photographer Bert Stern. Galerie 36 is pleased to present the first comprehensive exhibition of the visionary advertising images by American photographer Bert Stern (1929 – 2013) from the early fifties to the late sixties. The exhibition “Shapes & Symbols” shows a selection of iconic photographs that emerged during the highly productive time of his rise to become one of the leading advertising photographers. Many of the works exhibited have never before been publicly displayed outside publications and magazines of their time and can now be seen for the first time in terms of their artistic value. Campaign Smoothest of the Smooth, Smirnoff vodka 1957 Campaign The Prophetic Perugia for I. Miller, 1957 Campaign Driest of the Dry, Smirnoff vodka, 1955 Bert Stern is credited with having redefined advertising imagery in the early 1950s and decisively shaped the development of color advertising photography into an art form. Previously, advertising in magazines was used primarily to illustrate the text. Through his conceptual vision, Stern ushered in a new era of advertising, one where photographic images began to communicate much more elusive and seductive messages to consumers. One […]

until 17.05. | #2012ARTatBerlin | Galerie Berlin-Baku shows from 27th April 2018 the exhibition “Caught in Reality & Future” by the artist Sabine Burmester with a sound installation of Steven Kovar.

Old, proven, consumed, used, discarded materials are communicating with each other on canvas, they are interdependent but at the same time approaching, supporting and complementing each other. I consciously use their surface structures, their colours and characters for my compositions. In conjunction with a broad, complementary colour spectrum (acryl), they show the subject of being human, the transience, the persistence and discovery of new (living) spaces. I place the materials in a […]

Paul Joostens | Absurd reality – then as now | Galerie Brockstedt | 27.04.-28.07.2018
until 28.07. | #2011ARTatBerlin | Galerie Brockstedt presents from 27th April 2018 an exhibition with Assemblages, Collages and Objects by the artist Paul Joostens (1889-1960). Absurd reality – then as now Objects, Collages and Drawings by Paul Joostens (1889 – 1960) When in 1917 he exhibited his first abstract collages (made of colored paper because there was no painting utensils during the war) in Antwerp, he was regarded in progressive circles as the hope of the European avant-garde, as a pioneer of abstract art. When he died in Antwerp in 1960, he was almost forgotten. That one is now interested again in Paul Joostens probably depends on the fact that since then Dada has been rediscovered and reassessed. His works were shown in 1966 at the great Dada exhibition in Paris and Zurich. Also at the Berlin Dada exhibition 1977 (“Tendencies of the twenties”) Joostens was represented with collages and objects. In 2005/06, the Center Pompidou in Paris, the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the Museum of Modern Art in New York exhibited six works by Joostens, which can now be seen in this exhibition. The large solo exhibition in Oostende 2014 underlines the international significance of this […]

Thomas Kilpper | Entwurzelt | Galerie im Körnerpark | 28.04.-04.07.2018
until 04.07. | #2008ARTatBerlin | Galerie im Körnerpark presents from 28th April 2018 the exhibition “Entwurzelt” (>”Uprooted”) by the artist Thomas Kilpper. Social cohesion and solidarity seem to have become fragile today more than ever. Worldwide, societies are confronted with nationalist tendencies. The public perception of flight and immigration usually focuses on the challenges facing society. The artist Thomas Kilpper offers a different perspective: What does the loss of home for refugees mean? Is the social uprooting, which means flight, counteracted or even amplified by the people in the places of arrival? Can uprooting also open up new opportunities? The beginning of the exhibition marks Thomas Kilpper’s new series “Burnout” with charcoal drawings of burning refugee shelters. The centerpiece of the exhibition is an uprooted tree using parts of the old maple tree that overturned in front of the Galerie im Körnerpark during a storm in the summer of 2017. In this expansive installation, the artist integrates new woodcuts, portraits of people exposed to or opposed to racist violence. In addition to clearly right-wing extremist attacks and attacks, he draws particular attention to cases in which racism is suspected as a motive, as in the murders of Burak Bektaş and […]

Heiner Franzen | Großes Gesichtsfeld | Haus am Lützowplatz | 25.04.-05.08.2018
until 05.08. | #2007ARTatBerlin | Haus am Lützowplatz shows from 25. April 2018 the exhibition “Großes Gesichtsfeld” by the artist Heiner Franzen. With the support of the Hauptstadtkulturfonds, Haus am Lützowplatz presents the first institutional solo exhibition of the draftsman and video artist Heiner Franzen in Berlin. Franzen transforms the upper gallery into a video environment under the title “Great Field of View”, in which all the exhibition rooms are merged into a walk-in sculptural object through various installations. The spatial installation serves as a projection surface for a large number of mostly newly created cinematic works by the artist. These are multi-channel loops, in which found footage, real movie and animations were processed. In Franz’s concept of the work, the mechanism of memory plays a special role: “I am interested in the current material, from which we build models of personal certainties and from this constitute or constitute constituted language and objects. This material can be found in digital media, movies, TV shows, etc. These can be flashing details or image fragments around which I begin to work in the sense of a supposed reflex: one picture hangs while I’m on the other : Standing in the studio, sitting […]

One Year Anniversary Show | Galerie Pugliese Levi | 27.04.–26.05.2018
until 26.05. | #1999ARTatBerlin | Galerie Pugliese Levi shows from 27th April 2018 the exhibition”One Year Anniversary Show” with Maibritt Ulvedal Bjelke, Julian Anderson, Marc Lambrechts, Thibaut Duchenne, Xiaohua, Birgitte Lund, Tiina and Heiska, Rebecca Salter RA. Galerie Pugliese Levi celebrates its first anniversary with a group show presenting selected works of the gallery’s artists. Two new artists will be introduced on this occasion. The Finnish painter Tiina Heiska will have a solo show at the gallery in September 2018. With a strong sense of physicality and energy, the female figures of Tiina Heiska are set into virtual spaces to unfold a dramatic tension. Referencing photographic and filmic situations, the paintings question the relationship of body, image and personality. Heiska’s paintings describe the human condition; they are intense, mysterious and sometimes troubling. Rebecca Salter RA is a special guest of the anniversary exhibition. The British artist has received international acclaim for her paintings and printmaking. While living in Japan for many years, Salter studied traditional Japanese woodblock printing and she combines this interest with her main practice in painting. The trace of the human hand is paramount and its presence energises the surface, subtly disturbing an underlying calm but providing […]

MIXED MEDIA (IV). About The Body | Kicken Berlin | 28.04.–31.08.2018
until 31.08. | #2005ARTatBerlin | Kicken Berlin presents from 28th April 2018 the exhibition “MIXED MEDIA (IV). About The Body”. On the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin 2018, Kicken Berlin presents a new installment of its exhibition series Mixed Media under the title About the Body. Following explorations of portraiture, abstraction, and architecture, this fourth exhibition also invites photography to enter into productive dialogue with other artistic media. The body as the medium of subjective experience and social protest, as it was employed from the early twentieth century into the 1960s, is the show’s central focus. One of the most radical artistic movements was Wiener Aktionismus (Viennese Actionism) of the 1960s as exemplifed by proponents such as Günter Brus, Kurt Kren, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. The Actionists understood their own bodies as the bearers of direct, often drastic statements on political situations and hardened social structures as shaped by the baggage of nationalism in postwar Austria. Immediacy and communal experience were key: the artists consciously disposed of both artistic and social conventions in order to release creative potential. Action and performance redefned traditional artistic media and expanded them into sensuous experience in time and space. “[U]sing truth as […]

Daniel Bodner | New York | Galerie Martin Mertens | 26.04.-02.06.2018
until 02.06. | #2003ARTatBerlin | Galerie Martin Mertens shows from 26th April 2018 the exhibition “New York” by the artist Daniel Bodner. The American painter Daniel Bodner began painting in the mid-1980s in New York. His focus was on the human figure. With his move to Amsterdam in 1990, he became more concerned with the relationship between figure and surrounding space. From 2005, the representation of light and the question of how light can describe space and the human figure, or in certain cases also blur or dissolve, became increasingly important. His paintings increasingly took up formal aspects of photography, whereby Bodner is not concerned with imitating photographs, but with the aspect of the transience of photographs. The yellowing of old negatives and the chemical processes in his photographs became a central aspect of his paintings. In his pictures, he takes up photographic decay processes such as mold or oxidation as visible metaphors for human experiences such as loneliness, alienation, memory and longing. The works in this group of works are the result of years of very fundamental study of the human figure in urban space. Bodner transfers fleeting New York street scenes and the barely perceptible glittering against the […]

Damien Hirst | Galerie Bastian | 20.01.-29.04.2018
until 29.04. | #2001ARTatBerlin | Galerie Bastian currently shows an exhibition by the artist Damien Hirst on the first floor of the gallery. In the tradition of Western art, butterflies often symbolise the overcoming of death: in accordance with iconography, they represent metamorphosis, resurrection and even immortality. In that sense, after the decease of the mortal remains, the soul is able to escape the finiteness of the individual body in the form of a butterfly. The butterfly-diptych »Oranges and Lemons« (2008) may be understood as an explicit allusion to the 18th Century English nursery rhyme of the same title. Here comes a candle to light you to bed, and here comes a chopper to chop off your head, chip chop chip chop – the last man is dead. At first glance the work appears to be very vivid, due to the vibrant, bright colours of the butterflies, as well as the background that is characterised by radiant orange and lime-yellow. However, when put into context with the verses, it inevitably acquires a connotation that is of an ambivalent, almost antithetical nature. The sculpture »Unicorn – The Dream is Dead« (2005) gives shape to the supposedly fantastic, materialising it in an […]

LORIS GRÉAUD | Galerie Max Hetzler (Goethestraße) | 27.04.-21.07.2018
until 21.04. | #2000ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler shows from 26. Januar 2018 the exhibition LADI ROGEURS: SIR LOUDRAGE – a still life by the artist LORIS GRÉAUD at the Gallery in Goethestraße. Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to announce the upcoming solo exhibition LADI ROGEURS: SIR LOUDRAGE – a still life by Loris Gréaud at Goethestraße 2/3. Since the beginning of the 2000s, Loris Gréaud has pursued an atypical path in the field of contemporary art. His work prioritises the idea of the ‘project’. Using this temporally limited concept as a frame for his practice enables the artist to intervene with the given conditions of space and time. Systematically blurring and erasing the limits and borders between fiction and reality, Gréaud’s projects create fluid, challenging and otherworldly experiences. Gréaud’s first solo exhibition LADI ROGEURS with Galerie Max Hetzler in Paris in the beginning of this year was conceived as a three-dimensional sketch, encompassing the entire gallery space. In the spirit of the cinematic cross-fade principle, the show in Berlin is a continuation of Paris, reconfiguring the gallery space while drawing from the codes of a still life. Tinted in a purple, diffuse light, the space is interrupted by organically formed […]

Thomas Harndt | Landschaft, Stillleben und Portrait | GalerieETAGE | 15.02.-06.05.2018
until 06.05. | #1998ARTatBerlin | The GalerieETAGE of Rathaus-Galerie Reinickendorf currently shows an exhibition in remembrance of the artist Thomas Harndt with landscape, still life and portrait. District Councilor Katrin Schultze-Berndt (CDU) invites you to the exhibition: In Memory of Thomas Harndt – Landscape, Still Life and Portrait. Thomas Harndt created works of art that touch us. He occupied himself throughout his life with subjects such as landscape, still life and portrait, his artistic execution of these themes was unmistakable. His works are characterized by their size and format, the type of brush stroke and the application of paint. The special feature of the pictures is the delicacy with which he painterly embraces his motifs. He devoted the greatest attention to landscape painting. Thomas Harndt The exhibition was planned for the 85th birthday of Thomas Harndt, which should be celebrated in November 2017. A year earlier, in October 2016, Thomas Harndt died suddenly and unexpectedly. Now the presentation, whose concept was discussed together with him and whose organization and implementation was then continued with his wife Susanne Harndt, shows an overview of his life’s work. “Thomas Harndt was closely associated with Reinickendorf as a painter, but also as a patron […]

Leda Bourgogne „Skinless“ | BQ Berlin | 28.04.2018-23.06.2018
bis 23.06. | #1996ARTatBerlin | BQ Berlin shows from 28. Apirl 2018 the exhibition „Skinless“ by the artist Leda Bourgogne. Using Freud, Roland Barthes describes the “special sensitivity of the loving subject” in fragments of a language of love as a skinless state: “I am a’bubble of irritable substance. “I have no skin (except for the caress).” *1 Leda Bourgogne seems to work in the awareness that everything that inscribes itself into the picture surface or the exhibition space exposes something painfully – Roland Barthes writes of “weak spots” – an idea, a desire, a feeling that is in a way presented to a public naked. In this sense, her works often unfold as an interplay of action – which is perceived from the outset as an injury and disturbance – and a care, a reparation, which, however, does not eradicate the previous action, but underlines and confirms it in a peculiar way. In a sense, this approach resembles the relationship between paranoid-schizoid and depressive position described by Melanie Klein and Wilfred Bion. While in the paranoid-schizoid position aggressive and exploitative impulses are directed at a fragmented and split object, in the depressive position love, guilt and the need to […]

A solo exhibition by the sculptor Gisela Kleinlein presents the project space in the old fire station Berlin-Friedrichshain from 24 March to 6 May. Under the title DIESUNDANDERS, the show presents a sculptural staging specially designed for the location in which the works relate to each other and to the space. Is it 1000 stitches? 100,000? Or rather a million? Because the crocheted mesh is long. Very long. At three meters high, two basketball baskets hang close to each other on the wall. The stitching begins with the one; a seemingly infinitely long net, which meanders across the room and finally ascends again to reach the other edge of the bay. Two basketball baskets – inseparably connected by a common net, a carefully crocheted, meter-long structure. But playing basketball is not good. Just as little as the various small objects reminiscent of vehicles could pick up speed. In fact, none of the structures can be moved – despite wheels and potential mobility. Here tracks are designed, that are not accessible. Absurd situations and objects denying their function are among […]

Sven Drühl | Mountain High! | ALEXANDER OCHS PRIVATE | 28.04.-23.06.2018
until 23.06. | #1994ARTatBerlin | ALEXANDER OCHS PRIVATE shows from 28th April 2018 the exhibition MOUNTAIN HIGH! by the artist Sven Drühl. Media historian and author Norman Klein writes in the beautifully made, newly published JAHRES MAGAZINE of the Berliner Festspiele: The future ages faster than the present. The Berlin-based artist, doctor in Art History and enthusiastic swing dancer Sven Drühl says in the 119th edition of the KUENSTLER-KRITISCHES MAGAZIN DER GEGENWART: “Art is not created in a vacuum, but always in relation to earlier works and their constituent works codes. In my opinion, every piece of art is a conglomeration of the historical resource – it is created through the absorption and transformation of other works of art.” Sven Drühl im Salon Schillerstraße 15 In 2006 Drühl created for the first time a landscape picture completely in black, which he gave the title Undead. In this and other works he quoted important artists of the 19th century, to him “undead”, such as the French Realist Gustave Courbet, the proponent of “heroic” landscape paintings Joseph Anton Koch or Weimar artist Edmund Kanoldt. This work was followed in 2008 by T.R.C.D.F. (Undead): the artist used a watercolor by his contemporary Tobias […]

Julius Eastman | SAVVY Contemporary | 24.03.–06.05.2018
until 06.05. | #1993ARTatBerlin | SAVVY Contemporary currently shows the exhibition WE HAVE DELIVERED OURSELVES FROM THE TONAL – of, with, towards, on Julius Eastman. After last year’s kick-off with LET SONORITIES RING in the framework of the MaerzMusik Festival by Berliner Festpspiele, we are delighted to present the results of a year filled with research, reflection and inspiration through and on the life and work of Julius Eastman. WE HAVE DELIVERED OURSELVES FROM THE TONAL – Of, with, towards, on Julius Eastman is an exhibition, and a program of performances, concerts and lectures that deliberate around concepts beyond the predominantly Western musicological format of the tonal or harmonic. The project looks at the work of the African American composer, musician and performer beyond the framework of what is today understood as minimalist music, within a larger, always gross and ever-growing understanding of it—i.e. conceptually and geo-contextually. Together with musicians, visual artists, researchers and archivers we aim to explore a non-linear genealogy of Eastman’s practice and his cultural, political and social weight, and situate his work within a broader rhizomatic relation of musical epistemologies and practices. For the project, new substantial artworks and musical pieces have been commissioned and will […]

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 […]
Adolph Menzel – Flute concert in Sanssouci

He is standing in the centre of the picture. To the right his chamber ensemble and to the left an audience of […]
Jan Vermeer (van Delft) – Man and Woman drinking Wine
The glance falls into a room that is furnished with a table, a bench and two chairs. The table is covered in an expensive manufactured table cloth. A painting in a gold frame is hanging on the wall. A woman dressed in a fancy red dress is sitting on a chair opposite the window. The […]
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 […]
