BEYOND SYMBOLS | Group Exhibition | ARTES Berlin | 13.09.-02.11.2024

until 02.11. | #4400ARTatBerlin | ARTES Berlin shows from 13. September 2024 the group exhibition BEYOND SYMBOLS.

The exhibition “Beyond Symbols” takes Pablo Picasso’s iconic series “Pigeon” from 1943 as its starting point. In this series, Picasso dismantled the pigeon in a cubist manner and reassembled it as a dove of peace in 1949. How do symbols change over time and how can they be reinterpreted today? These questions are at the centre of the exhibition.

Among the assembled names are Christian Awe, Georges Braque, Luciano Castelli, Doppeldenk, Marion Eichmann, Lutz Friedel, Erich Heckel, Albert Hien, Thomas Jastram, Nari Jo, Helge Leihberg, Markus Lüpertz, Jon-athan Meese, Cathleen Meyer, Heiner Meyer, Ju-lian Opie, A.R. Penck, Pablo Picasso, Otto Piene, Jochen Plogsties, Michael Ramsauer, Gerhard Richter, Janos Schaab, Cornelia Schleime, Winnie Seifert, Stefan Szczesny, Lars Teich- mann, Günther Uecker, Dagmar Vogt, Bernd Zimmer and many more …
