until 08.12. | #4535ARTatBerlin | EIGENHEIM Weimar/Berlin presents from 30. November 2024 (Opening: 29.11.) the exhibition “LODGER Berlin – Raum für Kunst” by the artists Anna Bittersohl, Enrico Freitag, Konstantin Bayer, Lars Wild, Frederik Foert, Nina Röder and with many more of the gallery’s in-house artists. The exhibition takes place in the studio, flat and showroom of the artist Frederik Foert.
At the end of the year, Galerie EIGENHEIM Weimar/Berlin is adding a special highlight: LODGER Berlin – Raum für Kunst @ Studio Frederik Foert is opening its extraordinary location for the in-house artists of Galerie EIGENHEIM. From 29 November to 8 December 2024, the studio, flat and showroom in the old Berlin flat in the heart of Friedrichshain will become a melting pot for selected works by artists such as Anna Bittersohl, Konstantin Bayer, Timo Herbst, Enrico Freitag, Nina Röder, Gökcen Dilek Acay, Lars Wild, Stefan Schiek and Benedikt Braun.
The name LODGER (meaning ‘lodger’ or ‘guest’) emphasises the concept of presenting works of art in a private, intimate space and thus making the exhibition space a living space.
In true Foertian style, the name also pays homage to iconic works from film and music, which are subtly incorporated into the exhibition concept. Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller The Lodger (1927), which captures the dark tension and intimacy of a lodger in London, and David Bowie’s album Lodger (1979), which reflects the sonic and cultural diversity of the ‘Berlin Trilogy’, a space for dynamic and multimedia encounters is created. These cultural references characterise the special atmosphere of LODGER Berlin and make it a lively platform for art, music and dialogue, where different forms of art merge with each other and the works gain new levels of meaning in this extraordinary context.
