until 21.03. | #4937ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin shows from Friday, 20 February 2026 the exhibition “VOYAGE COLLAGE II” by Samira Freitag, Jürgen Tenz (1942–2021), Maud Tutsche, ARATORA and Christiane Kowalewsky..
With “VOYAGE COLLAGE II”, Galerie feinart berlin presents the second edition of an exhibition series dedicated to collage as an independent contemporary art form. Five artistic positions open up a broad range of collage techniques and reveal how closely individual formal approaches are intertwined with questions of content.
ARATORA, Café Slavia, Egon Erwin Kisch war hier, Prag, 2025, Holztypendruck mit Collage und Zusatzelementen, 30 × 30 cm, Auflage 3.
Since the early 20th century, collage has been associated with the avant-garde, standing for the combination of disparate materials and the conscious breaking of conventions. From fragmented, damaged or underestimated elements emerge hybrid visual languages that oscillate between poetry, provocation and irony. Its deconstructive character also carries a critical potential toward systems of consumption, capital and media.
Jürgen Tenz, Bezwungen, 1995, Relief-Collage, 35 × 30 cm.
Three of the artists in the exhibition – Samira Freitag, Maud Tutsche and Jürgen Tenz (1942–2021) – engage with representations of the female body and erotic imagery. ARATORA (alias Frank W. Weber) and Christiane Kowalewsky expand this thematic focus by incorporating dimensions of pleasure, lifestyle and cultural reference.
Samira Freitag, Farbige Häutung, 2016, Radierung, Papier collé auf Bütten, Unikat, 78 × 53 cm.
Samira Freitag presents collage books from her Strip-Tease series, which she has been working on since 2015, as well as mixed media works on the body and emancipation. Jürgen Tenz’s work ranges from finely crafted pen-and-ink drawings from the 1970s to colourful relief collages from the 1990s. Maud Tutsche combines collage and monotype to create pictorial spaces that oscillate between intimacy and abstraction. 
Maud Tutsche, Schönheit 2, 2017, Collage, 29,3 × 19 cm.
ARATORA develops digital collages based on a specially designed five-colour laser printing process, while Christiane Kowalewsky condenses art and science history quotations into surreal-looking overall compositions.
Christiane Kowalewsky, Sonntagsspaziergang [Album Miracles & Memories], 2025, Handcut Collage auf Cardboard, 29,9 × 21,1 cm.
