Marc Nagtzaam | Sidetracked | Galerie kajetan Berlin | 13.12.2025–31.01.2026
until 31.01. | #4890AARTatBerlin | Galerie kajetan Berlin shows from Saturday, 13 December 2025 (Opening: 12.12.) the exhibition “Sidetracked” by the artist Marc Nagtzaam. In “Sidetracked,” Marc Nagtzaam presents a new series of his reduced, rigorously structured visual compositions, where lines, grids, rhythms, and voids function as independent semantic systems. The works operate intentionally between construction and disruption, order and diversion — a controlled detour that compels viewers to reorient their gaze. Nagtzaam’s practice is rooted in repeated markings, accumulations, and overwritings that generate a quiet yet persistent tension. Through this process of “losing and finding” within the pictorial field, a visual logic gradually emerges. “Sidetracked” expands on this principle, showcasing works that are meticulously composed while deliberately maintaining a sense of incompleteness. Opening: Friday, 12 December 2025, 6:00–9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 13 December 2025 until Friday, 31 January 2026 Image caption title: Marc Nagtzaam, Flächen, 2025, Unique Riso print, 42 × 30 cm.

Annette Schröter | Rückblick | Galerie Brockstedt | 29.01.–28.03.2026
until 28.03. | #4888ARTatBerlin | Galerie Brockstedt shows from Thursday, 29 January 2026 the exhibition “Rückblick” by the artist Annette Schröter. With the exhibition “Rückblick”, Galerie Brockstedt presents a comprehensive overview of the diverse work of Annette Schröter, one of the most influential figures associated with the Leipzig art scene. The show spans expressive early paintings to the iconic paper cuts that have shaped her artistic identity since 2001. Schröter’s work engages with urban environments, social dynamics, and everyday rituals. Her figurative visual language — sometimes painterly and dense, sometimes sharply graphic — consistently reflects observation, transition, and transformation. Through clear, often unsparing imagery, she explores gestures, movements, and situations that illuminate the relationship between people and their surroundings. The exhibition also highlights the trajectory of an artist whose academic and professional stations — from Hamburg to Halle to Leipzig — have significantly informed her development. Since 2005, Schröter has dedicated herself to the paper cut, establishing a distinctive aesthetic vocabulary recognized far beyond Leipzig. Opening: Thursday, 29 January 2026, 6:00 pm Exhibition dates: Thursday, 29 January until Saturday, 28 March 2026 Image caption title: Annette Schröter, Lektüre (Triptychon), 1996, 3 x 150 x 120 cm, Öl auf […]
Fabian Knecht | Frank | alexander levy | 14.11.–19.12.2025
until 19.12. | #4887ARTatBerlin | Galerie alexander levy currently shows the exhibition Frank by the artist Fabian Knecht. Frank (2025) fills the exhibition space with a crackling and popping sound that is difficult to locate. The source of the sound—hidden behind a wall—comes from bubbles bursting in joint fluid. The work reveals a functional connection that is relevant to all of the exhibits: the physically demanding activity of art handling, which is a prerequisite for art to be receivable at all. For this work, Fabian Knecht regularly visits his chiropractor Frank, who also provides the sound basis for the work. Fabian Knecht, “Lachen ist verdächtig (Ist Fabian sich sicher, dass die Stoffe bunt sind?)”, 2025, Transport trolley, textile, 158 x 132,5 x 100 cm, courtesy of the artist and alexander levy, Berlin.

DIVERSE | Group exhibition | Galerie Schindler | 04.12.2025–24.01.2026
until 24.01. | #4886RTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler shows from Thursday, 4. December 2025 the exhibition DIVERSE with the latest works by 18 gallery artists and new positions. Diverse — ending the year with color, bite, and depth. For the last time this year, Diverse brings together a colorful mix of gallery artists and new, young talents. Karen Simon, innerlich, Ink on canvas, 70 x 50 cm Small to medium formats, all works in classic painting on canvas — but hey, there are two small exceptions: photography and printmaking, which earn extra points. In terms of content, the images range from vibrant landscapes and expressive portraits to quiet, daring still lifes. Constantin Schroeder, Dolly, 2025, Oil on canvas, 40x 30 cm The common denominator? Passion, craftsmanship, and an eye for detail — but each position tells its own cheeky or honest story.

Michael Jastram + Michael Dressel | Here Today, Gone Tomorrow | Galerie feinart berlin | 04.12.2025-07.02.2026
until 07.02. | #4885ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin shows from Thursday, 04. December 2025 the exhibition Here Today, Gone Tomorrow by the artists Michael Jastram and Michael Dressel. The sculptures of Michael Jastram and the desert photographs of Michael Dressel converge in their awareness of the essence of time. The exhibition is an encounter between two close friends in their artistic work, whose paths first crossed 47 years ago at the Kunsthochschule Weißensee, then scattered in different directions during the upheavals of the Berlin reunification period, and finally came together again in 2016. Just as external circumstances shaped their biographies, the sculptures of Michael Jastram and the photographs of Michael Dressel, taken in the North American desert, touch on a common theme: an awareness of the nature of time. One need not recall Hannes Wader’s lyrics to „Heute hier, morgen dort“ (1972) to hear a quiet melancholy about the fleetingness of the moment and the uncertainty of the future in the exhibition title chosen by the artists. Their works prove that there is a special beauty in the silence of this awareness.

Sibylle Bergemann | Das Denkmal | Loock Galerie | 21.11.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4879ARTatBerlin | Loock Galerie shows from Friday, 21 November 2025 the exhibition “Das Denkmal” by the artist Sibylle Bergemann. LOOCK presents “Das Denkmal” (1975–1986), one of the most significant bodies of work by German photographer Sibylle Bergemann (1941–2010). Across this long-term documentary series, Bergemann followed the creation of the Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels monument in East Berlin, commissioned by the GDR government and inaugurated in 1986. Her images capture the process with a precise and subtly ironic documentary approach, marked by ambiguity, distance and a keen observational lens. The exhibition runs in parallel with the presentation Le Monument at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris. A selection from the series was also shown at Paris Photo 2025, positioning the work within a broader international discourse. A publication accompanying the exhibition has been released by Kerber Verlag (eds. Frieda von Wild, Lily von Wild & Sonia Voss). It includes both iconic and previously unpublished photographs, as well as an extensive historical and critical reception of the work from the 1980s to today. Essays expand on historical, sociopolitical and photographic theory perspectives, reframing “Das Denkmal” as a landmark project at the intersection of art, ideology and collective memory. […]
Nassim L’Ghoul + Stefanie Schwarzwimmer | Barometer of Self-Optimization | KLEMM’S | 21.11.2025-10.01.2026
until 10.01. | #4883ARTatBerlin | KLEMM’S shows from 21. November 2025 the exhibition Barometer of Self-Optimization by the artists Nassim L’Ghoul and Stefanie Schwarzwimmer. Klemm’s presents Barometer of Self-Optimization, a video programme featuring works by Nassim L’Ghoul (*1997 in Bad Soden) and Stefanie Schwarzwimmer (*1990 in Linz), with screenings at Klemm’s Downstairs. Complementing Sven Johne’s exhibition Eternal 20th Century, the programme explores conceptual links across generations, touching on themes of violence, labour, war, and the uncanny. In his works, Nassim L’Ghoul uses digital and conceptual tools to abstract personal experiences and interweave them with found material. By re-contextualising these fragments, hybrid environments are created that oscillate between the real and the imaginary. Stefanie Schwarzwimmer constructs virtual spaces mixing memories, media, and pop culture, forming satirical reflections on social trends. Her work examines content creation, self-optimization, consumerism, and visual power in a media-saturated world. Opening: Friday, 21. November 2025, 7 to 9 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 21. November 2025 to Saturday, 10. January 2026 Screenings: Saturdays, 12–6 pm and by appointment. Title image caption: Nassim L’Ghoul, ‘Soliloquy’, 2025. Film still.

Ornella Fieres | We measure the Distance | Sexauer Gallery | 21.11.2025-24.01.2026
bis 24.01. | #4878ARTatBerlin | Sexauer Gallery shows from Ftriday, 21. November 2025 the exhibition “We measure the Distance” by the artist Sexauer Gallery. The nucleus of Ornella Fieres’s exhibition We measure the Distance is a photo album from the 19th century. It shows a French family who emigrated to Brazil. The photographs open a view into the past – black-and-white snapshots, preserved as memories. The album is bound in brown leather, the cover embossed with golden initials. We leaf through it. We immerse ourselves in the past. We? – No! An artificial intelligence. For over ten years, the artist has worked with machines, computers, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. Fieres instructed an AI to look at the photographs and interpret them. For years she has been exploring how artificial intelligence perceives images of the past. In doing so, she compares human and machine perception and examines their interaction. Sometimes Fieres manipulates the AI’s perception; sometimes she adopts its perspective and expands her own. Together with the AI, Fieres dives into moments of the past: a search for traces and a work of remembrance in a virtual coworking space. The exhibition presents four groups of works: The Essence of a Moment / Depth […]
Ingo Gerken | The minimal input | Kuckei + Kuckei | 28.11.2025-31.01.2026
until 31.01. | #4881ARTatBerlin | Kuckei + Kuckei shows from Friday, 28. November 2025 the exhibition The minimal input by the artist Ingo Gerken. Ingo Gerken’s series of works entitled ‘Bibliosculptures’ engages in visual dialogue with international book publications on contemporary art history. Temporary object interventions are created in public art libraries, taking place directly in the books and thus establishing contact with the works printed there. This results in a coexistence of object and image, a fusion of perspectives, an associative exchange or a formal-aesthetic leap. At the interface between everyday artistic life and art-historical research, selected books become an expanded space for play and reception: trivial objects encounter significant works of art, shifting the boundaries between discourse and banal reality. Art and art books become accessible from new perspectives. In his photographs, Ingo Gerken creates fleeting sculptural constellations in the field of tension between representation, reference and resistance, which also question the relationship between authorship and artistic appropriation. He always understands the depicted works of art in the context of their journalistic reproduction and sees the open book as a mentally open terrain for poetic expansion or system-critical commentary. The works are sculptural assertions and contextual links between […]
Ensemble | Jac Leirner + Rafa Silvares | Esther Schipper | 14.11.–18.12.2025
until 18.12. | #4880ARTatBerlin | Galerie Esther Schipper shows from Friday, 14. November 2025, the exhibition Ensemble by the artists Jac Leirner and Rafa Silvares. Esther Schipper is pleased to announce Ensemble, bringing together works by Jac Leirner and Rafa Silvares. The exhibition marks Silvares’s first and Leirner’s third with the gallery. The year Silvares was born some hundred kilometers inland, Leirner completed her artistic education; decades later, Silvares would study at the same institute in São Paulo. Continuing their rich correspondence, the exhibition is a result of the artists’s exchange within each other’s universes. Taking the habit to pick up, sketch, and keep quotidian items as a point of departure, the artists’s dialogue echoes a Benjaminian ode to collecting. A new iteration of Leirner’s groundbreaking work, Hip Hop (1998/2025), extends along the exhibition space’s walls. Held in the Solomon R. Guggenheim collection, Hip Hop has been presented in eight institutions across continents. For this presentation, Leirner has produced a new version of the historic piece, adding a motif, “scratch,” a sequence of four parallel, diagonal bars. The installation, while paying homage to Piet Mondrian’s penultimate painting Broadway Boogie Woogie (1942–43), takes its name from the unruly beats that jumped from New […]

Shuji Hijiya | Innige Landschaften | Galerie mutare | 27.11.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4877ARTatBerlin | Galerie mutare shows from thursday, 27. November 2025, the exhibition “Innige Landschaften” the exhibition Shuji Hijiya. Shuji Hijiya (1942–2018) was a Japanese painter who spent most of his life in Germany. After his first exhibitions in the 1970s, he withdrew from the art world to continue working in complete seclusion. Many of his works remained unseen until his death – paintings that are only now coming to light, decades after they were created. Born in Japanese-occupied China in 1942, the painter first studied sociology in Tokyo before moving to Vienna and later to Germany. Over the course of decades, he developed his own unique, Western-influenced visual language in Ostholstein and Berlin. At the same time, his painting remained imbued with a Far Eastern sense of emptiness, time and transience. The exhibition “Intimate Landscapes” invites visitors to discover this work. In his paintings, Hijiya develops a form of still life of the soul: not a naturalistic representation, but a condensation of perception and memory. Opening: Saturday, 29. November 2025, 2 pm. Exhibition dates: Thursday, 27. November 2025 until Saturday, 17. January 2026 Title image caption: Shuji Hijiya, o.T. (confidence) I (Ausschnitt) I Öl/Lw | […]
ROTATION | Group exhibition | Galerie Thomas Schulte | 27.11.2025–07.02.2026
until 07.02. | #4876ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte (Charlottenstraße) shows from Thursday, 27 November 2025 (Opening: 28.11.) the exhibition “Rotation” with Richard Deacon, Lena Henke, Franka Hörnschemeyer, Matt Mullican, Leunora Salihu, Fred Sandback, Dan Walsh and Jonas Weichsel. Galerie Thomas Schulte presents “Rotation”, a group exhibition bringing together eight artists from the gallery’s program. Spanning works from the late 1960s to today, the show highlights the evolving dialogue of formal and system-based approaches across generations. Featuring Richard Deacon, Lena Henke, Franka Hörnschemeyer, Matt Mullican, Leunora Salihu, Fred Sandback, Dan Walsh and Jonas Weichsel, the presentation underscores the intersections of structure, space, materiality and conceptual order. Each position contributes distinct strategies while sharing a focus on the interplay between form and system as organizing principles. The exhibition creates a multifaceted reading of formal thinking – from sculptural volumes to architectural interventions and conceptual system paintings. “Rotation” emphasizes the dynamic exchange among these artistic practices and reflects the gallery’s long-term curatorial trajectory. Opening: Friday, 28 November 2025, 7:00–9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Thursday, 27 November 2025 until Saturday, 7 February 2026 Image caption title: Richard Deacon, “No Black”, 2013, glazed ceramic, 63 x 100 x 67 cm Group exhibition ROTATION – […]

until 17.01. | #4875ARTatBerlin | BBA Gallery presents from Thursday, 20. November 2025 the group exhibition Threads of Gold. Gold fascinates as a symbol of power, divinity and eternity. The exhibition explores its significance beyond its material value. Presented by the BBA Gallery, 12 international artists use gold as a conscious choice – a medium to highlight, question and appreciate what really matters. Gold becomes a gesture, a form of resistance, a revelation. It draws attention to the essential, gilds the overlooked and challenges conventional values. A mixed media exhibition.

Metropolis! People! Technology! Danger! | Group exhibition | GALERIE STEFAN RASCHE | 21.11.2025-31.01.2026
until 31.01. | #4874ARTatBerlin | GALERIE STEFAN RASCHE shows from 21. November 2025 the exhibition Metropolis! People! Technology! Danger!. From 21. November 2025 to 31. January 2026, the gallery will present a group exhibition that, for the first time, brings together works of Modernism from 1920 to 1970 with positions in contemporary art. Under the alarming title “Metropolis! People! Technology! Danger!”—borrowed from a 1966 crime film—the exhibition focuses on urban spaces and architectures, on construction sites, industry, and transportation. This thematic focus has long played a central role in the gallery’s program. The selection of modern works follows this line as well and is displayed in dense arrangement on a large, colorfully designed wall. Paintings, drawings, and graphic works present a wide range of 20th-century depictions of cities and architecture. Pieces from Classical Modernism, Expressionism, and New Objectivity transition into various forms of representational-realistic postwar art. Different viewpoints and moods emerge—from the bustling activity of the metropolis to melancholic scenes of deserted streets and squares. Berlin motifs appear frequently, as many of the featured artists studied, lived, and worked in the city. Means of transportation—cars, airplanes, trains—also become subjects of artistic exploration. Although the collection includes well-known names, a key focus […]

Karl Haendel | Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs | WENTRUP | 08.11.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4871ARTatBerlin | WENTRUP is currently showing the exhibition ‘Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs’ by artist Karl Haendel. WENTRUP presents Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs, the fourth solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Karl Haendel. Known for his consistent exploration of drawing, the artist uses scale, installation, materiality and photorealism to emphasise the relevance of this medium in contemporary art. In this new series of works, Haendel explores existential themes such as faith, hope, deception and projection. His large-format, detailed drawings focus on collective myths and the fragility of human beliefs. Haendel’s works operate at the intersection of precise technique and emotional intensity. They confront viewers with questions of meaning, truth, and the human longing for redemption. Opening: Saturday, 8 November 2025, 3:00–7:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 8 November 2025 until Saturday, 20 December 2025 Image caption title: Karl Haendel, “Blind Faith, Hope, Pandora’s Box, Messiahs”, 2025, (© des Künstlers / Courtesy WENTRUP, Berlin) Exhibition Karl Haendel – WENTRUP | Zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin | Contemporary Art | Ausstellungen Berlin Galerien | ART at Berlin
Adrian Ghenie | Cloud Fever | Galerie Judin (Tankstelle) | 15.11.2025-18.01.2026
until 18.01. | #4872ARTatBerlin | Galerie Judin (Tankstelle) shows from 15. November 2025 (Opening: 14.11.) the exhibition “Cloud Fever“ by the artist Adrian Ghenie. In this new body of works, Ghenie examines a society increasingly absorbed by social media and digital routines. Starting from the familiar image of a person eating breakfast while staring at a smartphone, the works address the consequences of excessive screen time: shrinking attention spans, weakened judgment, emotional amplification through algorithms, and the erosion of real-world interaction. The concept of “brain rot,” Oxford’s Word of the Year in 2024, serves as a point of departure for Ghenie’s artistic response. Ghenie himself has never engaged with social media, a position that grants him distance — though not without a certain envy for the effortless digital fluency of younger generations. As in his earlier series, he approaches the subject with quasi-scientific detachment, this time less as a historian and more as an anthropologist observing a new human type: the Homo digitalis. This species commands unprecedented access to information yet retreats into algorithmically curated digital worlds. For Ghenie, digitalization resembles a new ideology — one that simplifies complex realities while simultaneously producing fragmentation and echo chambers. The figures in […]
ARTES Winterausstellung | Group exhibition | ARTES Berlin | 15.11.2025–(to follow)
until (to follow) | #4882ARTatBerlin | ARTES Berlin shows from Saturday, 15. November 2025 the exhibition ARTES Winterausstellung. The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover the encounter between art and fairy tales – a silent journey through the winter season, characterised by light, shadow and delicate narratives between dream and reality. In this special season, familiar fairy tale characters and mythical figures emerge. They symbolise the human longing for light, hope and transformation and open up new perspectives on the poetic side of winter. Between reality and fantasy, a space is created in which art makes the quiet stories of winter visible – stories of memory, longing and wonder. The works of selected artists – including Gerhard Richter, Dagmar Vogt, Albert Hien, Edward B. Gordon and many more – come together in a multi-layered dialogue between light and darkness, transience and transformation. Dagmar Vogt presents bronze sculptures influenced by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Her works take up familiar motifs and translate them into a contemporary, sensually perceptible form. With his light objects, Albert Hien transforms the exhibition spaces into a finely composed interplay of brightness and reflection that dissolves the boundaries between artwork and space. The paintings by […]
Gabriella Giroletti | Among Ripples and Folds | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin | 21.11.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4870ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin shows from Friday, 21. November 2025 (Opening: 20.11.) the exhibition ‘Among Ripples and Folds’ by the artist Gabriela Giroletti. Shimmering, iridescent forms that curve, bend, push, squeeze, hold and expand. Brazilian artist Gabriela Giroletti’s latest paintings take the form of shaped surfaces that evoke shards of crystal and stone, earthly textures, bodily processes, the transference of energy and elemental movement. Among Ripples and Folds, her fourth solo exhibition with Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, comprises all new work born out of a period of play and experimentation. For Giroletti, art-making has always balanced instinct with control, but her process is evolving. Where she once followed the interaction of colour and paint, she now begins by constructing her surfaces – cutting, sanding, and gluing pieces of wood until she reaches the desired shape. This shape becomes a container onto which she works more quickly and fluidly, allowing forms to emerge organically before she applies dark outlines that serve both as barriers and supports. Giroletti likens these lines to a form of writing: they are the artist taking hold of her material and leaving her mark, while also guiding the eye and suggesting shifting atmospheres, […]
Archie Rand | Sons | Contemporary Fine Arts (CFA Berlin) | 15.11.-20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4869ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts presents from Saturday, 15. November 2025 (Vernissage: 14.11.), the exhibition “Sons” by the artist Archie Rand. Contemporary Fine Arts presents, in cooperation with Max Werner, “Sons” by American artist Archie Rand — his first solo exhibition in Germany. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1949, Rand is one of the most important voices in contemporary painting at the intersection of text, religion, and pop culture. For over five decades, he has been exploring the relationship between word and image in monumental series of works — often inspired by Jewish scripture and commentary, but always beyond classical illustration. His visual language is expressive, loud, and full of narrative energy: bright colors, grotesque figures, visual overlays. In his new series Sons (2018–2024), Rand references Francisco de Zurbarán’s Baroque paintings Jacob and His Twelve Sons, which he radically reinterprets. Instead of depicting the biblical patriarchs themselves, Rand paints their dreams – surreal scenes full of knights, dinosaurs, cowgirls, and urban heroes that seem to come from the visual worlds of postwar American comics. These works are both mythological and deeply autobiographical: fragments of a visual memory fed by childhood, religion, and art history. Rand’s painting oscillates between seriousness and playfulness, between religious […]
Colorful Abstracton | Group exhibition | Galerie Martin Mertens | 21.11.2025-07.02.2026
until 07.02. | #4865ARTatBerlin | Galerie Martin Mertens shows from Friday, 21. November 2025 the Group exhibition “Colorful Abstraction” by the artists Thorbjørn Bechmann, Antje Blumenstein, Katrin Bremermann, Joanna Buchowska, Martin Bünger and Matthias Kanter. Danish painter Thorbjørn Bechmann explores the tension between chance and control in his work. His pieces are created through the interplay of freely moving paint, which makes its way across the canvas, and the artist’s constant intuitive interventions. Bechmann creates soft gradients that resemble delicate veils of colour. The process of layering many colours creates surfaces full of tension. The large-format works have an impressive luminosity and are reminiscent of dazzling, harmonious plays of light. In recent years, colour, light and spatiality have become central aspects of Antje Blumenstein‘s work. The Berlin-based artist often uses special materials such as neon tubes or fluorescent acrylic glass panels, which she layers and/or mills lines into to create fascinating geometric colour spaces that generate an intensely colourful interplay of surface and space through transparency and densification. The colour itself is transformed into a three-dimensional form. They encourage the viewer to move constantly and change their perspective. Für die Berliner Künstlerin Katrin Bremermann steht das freie Spiel mit geometrischen Formen und die […]
Colourful Abstraction | Group exhibition | Galerie Martin Mertens | 21.11.2025-07.02.2026
until 07.02. | #4868ARTatBerlin | Galerie Martin Mertens shows from Friday, 21. November 2025 the exhibition „Colourful Abstraction“ by the artists Thorbjørn Bechmann, Antje Blumenstein, Katrin Bremermann, Joanna Buchowska, Martin Bünger and Matthias Kanter. At the end of the year, the Galerie Martin Mertens is presenting a group exhibition that brings together artists exploring the theme of color and abstraction. The artistic materials and forms of expression are incredibly diverse. The Danish painter Thorbjørn Bechmann‘s work explores the tension between chance and control. His pieces emerge from the interplay of freely moving paint, which makes its way across the canvas, and the artist’s constant, intuitive interventions. Bechmann creates soft gradients that resemble delicate veils of color. Through the process of layering many colors, he creates surfaces rich in tension. The large-format works possess an impressive luminosity and evoke shimmering, harmonious plays of light. In recent years, color, light, and spatiality have become central aspects of Antje Blumenstein‘s work. The Berlin-based artist frequently uses unusual materials such as neon tubes or fluorescent acrylic sheets, which she uses to create fascinating geometric color spaces through layering and/or milling lines. These spaces, through their interplay of transparency and density, generate an intensely colorful […]
Gerhard Hoehme + Delia Jürgens | Like wolves on the Fold | Galerie Georg Nothelfer | 15.11.2025-24.01.2026
until 24.01. | #4867ARTatBerlin | Galerie Georg Nothelfer shows from 15. November 2025 (Opening: 14.11.) the exhibition Like wolves on the Fold by the artists Gerhard Hoehme and Delia Jürgens. At the intersection of two generations, the exhibition “Like Wolves on the Fold” presents works by Gerhard Hoehme (1920–1989), a central figure of postwar German Informel, and Delia Jürgens (born 1986), a young artist who grapples with questions of contemporary painting in the information age. “Fold” represents the invisible in-between, which manifests itself as an immaterial world: on the one hand, as an inverted, seismographic mountain fold that opens up a new meaning between the two artistic positions. On the other hand, “Fold” refers to Jürgens’ series “Facades – A Morning Full of Dust, You’re Half Inside and Half Way Out,” in which she processes impressions of street life outside her Los Angeles studio, thus simultaneously alluding to inequalities in Western societies. The exhibition unites both artistic perspectives in the day-night rhythm of light and invites the public to discover the tension-filled spaces between history, the present, and urban life. The works of Hoehme and Jürgens enter into a dialogue that opens up new avenues in the interplay of daylight […]
Seth Price | „Portals“ | Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi | 15.11.2025–17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4866ARTatBerlin | Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi shows from Saturday, 15 November 2025 the exhibition “Portals” by the artist Seth Price. Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi is pleased to present “Portals”, the fifth solo exhibition by Seth Price at the gallery. The exhibition features a new series of paintings alongside a concise presentation of the artist’s records, cassettes, books, and garments. Price’s new works merge digital image generation with material craftsmanship, combining acrylic paint, generative image reverse-transfers into acrylic polymer, and UV prints on aluminum composite. The resulting surfaces fluctuate between physical presence and algorithmic abstraction. Seth Price, Haruspex, 2025, Acrylic paint, generative image reverse-transferred into acrylic polymer, and UV-print on aluminum composite, 151.8 x 134.9 x 2.9 cm In works such as Nox Anima Lens (2025) and Haruspex (2025), Price explores the intersections of body, technology, and perception. His “portals” act as thresholds between worlds — between human and machine, surface and meaning, presence and digital residue. The exhibition invites visitors to engage with the tension between the analogue and the generative, a recurring theme in Price’s practice that has shaped post-digital aesthetics since the early 2000s. Opening: Saturday, 15 November 2025, 6:00–9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 15 November 2025 […]
Mattias Selldén | „Träskalle“ + Gruppenausstellung: „Mark Makers“ | Galerie Nordenhake | 08.11.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4846ARTatBerlin | Galerie Nordenhake shows from Saturday, 8. November 2025 (Opening: 07.11.) the solo exhibition “Träskalle” by the artist Mattias Selldén and the group show “Mark Makers” with Ana Cláudia Almeida, ektor garcia and Thea Ekström. Galerie Nordenhake presents two exhibitions that explore materiality and artistic process from distinct perspectives. In his solo exhibition “Träskalle,” Mattias Selldén creates objects that blur the boundaries between sculpture and functional design. The artist himself describes his works as “dysfunctional furniture that could easily be mistaken for sculpture.” This playful ambiguity opens a space where the ordinary transforms into the poetic. Meticulously crafted yet conceptually free, Selldén’s pieces invite viewers to reconsider the relationship between function and form. Installation view, TRÄSKALLE, Mattias Selldén, Galerie Nordenhake Stockholm, 2025 Running parallel, the group exhibition “Mark Makers” brings together works by Ana Cláudia Almeida, ektor garcia, and Thea Ekström, each engaging with different approaches to material and mark-making. Almeida’s layered compositions of paint, fabric, and imagery evoke memory and ritual. Garcia’s sculptural forms merge textile craft with queer-feminist and artisanal traditions. Ekström’s expressive drawings and symbolic gestures connect inner experience with mythological resonance. Ana Cláudia Almeida, photo by Terry Cole and Emily Fahlén (own […]

Björn Dahlem | Great Cosmic Wall | Galerie Guido W. Baudach | 15.11.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4863ARTatBerlin | Galerie Guido W. Baudach shows from 15. November 2025 (Opening: 14.11.) the exhibition “Great Cosmic Wall” by the artist Björn Dahlem. Björn Dahlem refers to a phenomenon f6om the field of astronomy: the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, a cosmic superstructure that so far only exists in scientific theory. It is supposed to consist of an enormous accumulation of gravitationally connected star clusters with a presumed extent of 10 billion light-years. This would make the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall — if it actually exists — the largest and most massive structure in the observable universe. Great Cosmic Wall adds a new chapter to Dahlem’s oeuvre. Formally and in terms of content, it deals with specific borderline areas; be it those between microcosm and macrocosm, mundane everyday life and transcendent experience, or between order and chaos. Accordingly, Great Cosmic Wall can also be read as an allusive metaphor for the invisible barriers that separate our subjective experience of reality from the infinite: the mist between us and the universe; the curtain of light and shadow that separates space-time and matter. With Great Cosmic Wall, Björn Dahlem attempts not only to illustrate this borderline areas, but also to penetrate them in his sculptures. Opening: […]
Miriam Cahn | TRAUMBEFEHL | Meyer Riegger | 15.11.2025–17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4862ARTatBerlin | Meyer Riegger Berlin shows from Saturday, 15. November 2025 the exhibition ‘TRAUMBEFEHL’ by the artist Miriam Cahn. Miriam Cahn’s new exhibition at Meyer Riegger, Berlin represents a powerful and radical evolution of the artist’s multi-decade practice. TRAUMBEFEHL consists of a single, monumental ‘room installation’ that extends over both floors of the gallery space. Comprising paintings and drawings on different materials, which mix her hitherto characteristic figurative style with more-abstract and text-based pieces, as well as sculptural elements, the installation is made up of 174 individual components that are conceived of as one cohesive artwork. Dealing with themes of mortality and dreaming, TRAUMBEFEHL functions as a diary, with visitors invited to follow Cahn’s thoughts and ‘read’ entries along a pre-determined path set by the artist. An artist’s booklet containing a text by Miriam Cahn has been produced to accompany the exhibition. Opening: Saturday, 15. November 2025, 11 am–2 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 15. November 2025 – Saturday, 17. January 2026 Title image caption: Miriam Cahn. Alles neu. Oil on wood, 20×36 cm.

Kara Walker | Kara Elizabeth Walker presents Dispatches from A— and the Museum of Half-remembered Histories | Sprüth Magers Berlin | 14.11.2025-04.04.2026
until 04.04. | #4861ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin shows from 14. November 2025 (Vernissage: 13.11.) the exhibition “Kara Elizabeth Walker presents Dispatches from A— and the Museum of Half-remembered Histories” by the artist Kara Walker. Kara Walker’s œuvre scrutinises themes of race, gender, sexuality and violence, showcasing a profound exploration of societal complexities and positioning her as a preeminent figure among contemporary American artists. At Sprüth Magers, Berlin, Walker debuts all-new cutout collages in vibrant ink and watercolour. Presented on a grand scale akin to history paintings, these works build upon her iconic monochromatic silhouettes by harnessing the power of formal composition, texture and colour. The show is completed by new pastels that reimagine traditional genres and several arresting watercolour drawings. For her new series of works, Walker draws inspiration from an illustrated popular history of the United States from the 1870s to explore how the creation of history is negotiated—a negotiation that continues to this day, beneath the surface of her homeland’s difficult realities. By examining this post-Civil War source, she questions the mechanisms by which American identity has been constructed and mythologized. She employs vibrant paper cutouts, skillfully blending fluid, expressive layers of color with sharply defined forms […]
David Horvitz + Ali Eyal | „At the limits of the city“ + „Let Them Say Something“ | ChertLüdde | 22.11.2025–07.02.2026
until 07.02. | #4857ARTatBerlin | ChertLüdde (Ritterstr. 2A) shows from Saturday, 22 November 2025 the exhibitions “At the limits of the city” by the artist David Horvitz and “Let Them Say Something” by the artist Ali Eyal. ChertLüdde presents two parallel solo exhibitions by Los Angeles-based artists David Horvitz and Ali Eyal, each of which explores questions of place, memory and collective experience in a poetic and socially reflective manner. The opening will take place on Saturday, 22 November 2025, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the gallery. David Horvitz – At the limits of the city In his exhibition At the Limits of the City, David Horvitz expands on the legacy of Californian conceptual art of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The artist explores geographical boundaries by transferring elements of his Los Angeles garden project to Berlin, thereby reinterpreting the dialogue between two urban spaces. David Horvitz, At the limits of the city, 2025, Four photographs printed Hahnemühle Photorag Baryta 315gsm paper, each, unframed: 35 × 44 cm At the centre of the exhibition is a reconstructed wooden platform based on a structure from Horvitz’s own garden.

Jens Risch | Knotted Time | Taubert Contemporary | 07.11.2025-31.01.2026
until 31.01. | #4858ARTatBerlin | Taubert Contemporary shows from Friday, 7. November 2025 the exhibition “Knotted Time” by the artist Jens Risch. With Knotted Time, Jens Risch presents his first solo exhibition at Taubert Contemporary – a concentrated insight into a body of work that has been radically dedicated to the interconnection of time, material, and action for over two decades. In the tradition of conceptual and process-based art, as encountered in the work of Hanne Darboven, On Kawara, or Tehching Hsieh, Risch transforms a seemingly simple, repetitive gesture – the knotting of a thread – into a poetic exploration of duration, presence, and existential perseverance. A multi-layered artistic universe unfolds across four rooms, quietly yet powerfully questioning the relationship between presence and absence, process and documentation. The focus is less on the visible result than on the invisible framework of time, discipline, and repetition that underpins these works – an approach that can be traced back to the meditative rigor of Eastern practices as well as the Western tradition of performative self-measurement. In the first room, visitors encounter three key works from the past decade: Seidenstück6 (2015–2017, 1,269 hours of work), Seidenstück7 (2017–2018, 1,679 hours of work), and Seidenstück8 […]
Anna Witt | Radical Optimism | Galerie Tanja Wagner | 14.11.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4856ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tanja Wagner shows from Friday, 14. November 2025 the exhibition “Radical Optimism” by the artist Anna Witt. The exhibition presents new works exploring radical hope as both an emancipatory force and a strategy for navigating crisis and social change. At the centre of the exhibition is the two-channel video installation Nights of Labour. The work positions dreaming as a deeply personal, visionary mode of imagination that serves as a crucial precondition for societal transformation. For the project, Witt invited a group of people to gather and dream within the former industrial hall of the Hydra Werke in Berlin, a space poised between its industrial past and the pressures of gentrification. The camera moves gently across the stage-like setting of carpets and furniture, capturing the participants’ faces as they lie in quiet concentration, imagining their hopes for the future. Daydreaming emerges as both an intimate and collective experience. In the second video channel, the dreams and ideas articulated by the group return as voiceovers. We encounter the same space; however, it now appears deserted and gradually disintegrating. The work draws inspiration from Jacques Rancière’s non-fiction book Nights of Labor, which tells the story of 19th-century […]
Alexander Basil | Error 404 | Galerie Judin | 15.11.2025-24.01.2026
until 24.01. | #4855ARTatBerlin | Galerie Judin shows from 15. November 2025 (Vernissage: 14.11.) the exhibition “Error 404“ by the artist Alexander Basil. Self-reflection, contemplation, searching – these are the terms that first come to mind when attempting to describe Alexander Basil’s latest paintings. With an artist like Basil, whose distinctive visual language is so immediately recognisable, even the subtlest changes in tone or nuance in his visual vocabulary are noticeable. In recent years, the artist has intensively explored his own unique form of self-expression by literally giving his own face to almost all the figures depicted in his works – not only human motifs, but also other living beings and even inanimate objects – resulting in dreamlike, surreal compositions. Now he presents himself with a slightly altered perspective: more analytical, more methodical – but by no means less attentive. Quite the contrary. His current work covers a specific period beginning with the artist’s birth and continuing to the present day. It is therefore a biographical retrospective in which several developments run parallel – primarily Alexander Basil’s career as an artist and his social and physical transition to manhood. To this end, Basil repeatedly draws on imagery reminiscent of scientific […]
Eleanor Swordy | Say less | Galerie Max Hetzler | 14.11.2025.-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4854ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler (Bleibtreustraße 45) shows from the 14th. November 2025 the exhibition “Say Less” by the artist Eleanor Swordy. In two paintings from Eleanor Swordy’s new exhibition at the Max Hetzler Gallery in Berlin, a figure in the centre of the canvas looks at the viewer. The eyes of these figures appear veiled, as each of them looks at (or perhaps more accurately, looks through) a task – basket weaving and cutting paper flowers – which their hands perform with somnambulistic attention. Although outward-looking, neither figure is confrontational, but rather completely absorbed in their respective activities, perhaps even appearing somewhat perplexed. Like Swordy, both have long blonde hair – a hint that they are representatives of the painter herself. Swordy’s works often contain elements that allegorically represent their inherent artificiality. In For You, the lower edge of the painting becomes a surface on which scattered fragments of coloured paper dropped by the flower cutter are collected. In this typically playful manner, Swordy alludes to the objectivity of the painting, with self-reflexivity being an important aspect of her work. Here, as even more clearly in Set Apart, the depicted action and the technical implementation together […]
NACKT – 30 Years of Galerie Deschler Berlin | Group exhibition | Galerie Deschler | 21.11.2025–14.2.2026
until 14.02. | #4853ARTatBerlin | Galerie Deschler shows from 21 November 2025, the exhibition NACKT – 30 Years of Galerie Deschler Berlin by the artists Elvira Bach, Luciano Castelli, Rainer Fetting, Gerhard Kehl and Salomé. To mark its 30th anniversary, Galerie Deschler Berlin will be presenting the exhibition ‘NACKT’ (Naked) from 21 November 2025, featuring works by Rainer Fetting, Elvira Bach, Luciano Castelli and Salomé – important representatives of the ‘Junge Wilde’ (Young Wild Ones) and their artistic milieu. The exhibition focuses on early erotic nudes from the 1970s and 1980s, which are regarded as symbols of sexual self-determination and artistic freedom. Special attention is given to the juxtaposition of Fetting’s ‘Figur an der Mauer’ (Figure at the Wall, 1987) with his sculpture ‘Die Drehung’ (The Turn), which takes up and continues the pose of the figure from the painting. Accompanying this, the ‘Blue Series’ by Gerhard Kehl, who died in 2024, in the basement commemorates the opening of the gallery on 16 December 1995 – as a tribute to three decades of committed, courageous and innovative gallery work. Opening reception: Friday, 21. November 2025, 7-9 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 21. November 2025 – Saturday, 14. February 2026 […]
SALON: MAU R | AOA;87 X DŸSE | AOA;87 contemporary | 21.11.-20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4852ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 contemporary presents from Friday, 21. November 2025 (Opening: 20.11.) the group exhibition „SALON: MAU R | AOA;87 X DŸSE“, an anniversary exhibition about ruptures, conviction, and the end of the illusion of sugarland. “Unprepared. Unreflected. Naive. And dumb.” This is how DŸSE’s song Keine Mauern mehr ends – and with it, an entire narrative: the German reunification fairy tale that, in its euphoria, painted over the cracks. Sugar on every corner – and teeth long stuck in concrete. The words hit hard. No pathos, no pop – a reckoning. A reminder that freedom doesn’t fall from the sky, but requires conviction. SALON: MAU R is AOA;87’s response to this – and simultaneously a manifesto for the gallery’s fifth anniversary. Five years of dialogue, friction, courage. Born from an idea, from a conviction. The exhibition positions itself as a Salon des Refusés of our time – a place for discussion rather than decoration, for artistic conviction rather than conformity. Inspired by French salon culture, it opens as a hybrid space between art, music, politics, and society – a hub of diversity. DYSE © Maren Michaelis At its center stands the project MAU R by DŸSE […]
Ute Schendel | Solo exhibition | Galerie Gilla Lörcher | 08.11.-19.12.2025
until 19.12. | #4851ARTatBerlin | Galerie Gilla Lörcher shows from Saturday, 08. November 2025 (Opening: 07.11.) a solo exhibition by the artist Ute Schendel. For this exhibition, the artist has selected a large number of analogue photographs (vintage and master prints) from her archive, covering the period from 1968 to 2000. The motifs include architecture, portraits, landscapes, theatre, reportage and still lifes. For fifty years, Ute Schendel has preferred to work with black-and-white photography. She began her career as a theatre and portrait photographer in the 1970s at the Schiller Theatre in Berlin, accompanying productions by theatre directors such as Einar Schleef, Heiner Müller, Patrice Chéreau and Jan Fabre, among others. Her extensive image archive contains portraits of actors, directors, photographers, painters, writers and other creative artists. Ute Schendel has also created a large body of work in the field of landscape photography over the past decades. About Ute Schendel Ute Schendel, geboren 1948 in Berlin, lebt und arbeitet in Basel.

Marco Maria Zanin | Between Fields and Spirits | Robert Morat Galerie | 01.11.-20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4849ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie presents from Saturday, 1. November 2025 (Vernissage: 31.10.) the exhibition „Between Fields and Spirits“ by the artist Marco Maria Zanin. Robert Morat Galerie presents the first exhibition by Italian visual artist and researcher Marco Maria Zanin in Germany. The exhibition project ‘Between Fields and Spirits’ unfolds in three chapters following the flow of the three rooms of the gallery. In the words of the artist, ‘Between Fields and Spirits’ is ‘an exhibition project moving between artistic practice, anthropology, and relational philosophy. Through ceramics, photography, installations, and visual ethnography, the show explores earth as a symbolic, affective, and spiritual force – a space of memory, gesture, and transformation.’ Marco Maria Zanin, Transcategorical Objects, 2021, Courtesy Robert Morat Galerie Marco Maria Zanin (*1983, Padua, Italy) is an artist and academic researcher whose practice lies at the crossroads of photography, contemporary art, anthropology, and social engagement. His career includes solo exhibitions at institutions such as the Palazzo dei Musei in Reggio Emilia, Fondazione Modena Arti Visive, Casa dei Tre Oci (Venice), Pivô – Arte e Pesquisa (São Paulo), as well as collaborations with international platforms including Fondazione Cologni and the National Museum of Ethnology in […]
Trisha Baga | MORE | Galerie Société | 07.11.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4848ARTatBerlin | Galerie Société shows from Friday, 7. November 2025 (Vernissage: 06.11.) the exhibition “MORE” by the artist Trisha Baga. A throughline in Trisha Baga’s expansive practice is their ongoing exploration of machines as narrative creatures. Baga empathizes with the tools and systems their work engages, often invoking them as metaphors for reflection, connection, and destruction. MORE, their sixth solo exhibition with SOCIÉTÉ, takes its title from one of the first words a child utters as well as the driving desire behind technological development: perpetual “advancement,” more data, more speed. Immersive 3D videos and constellations of ceramic works transform the gallery space into an offbeat computer desktop through which its day-to-day operations remain visible. This suspension between the everyday and bizarre is mirrored in the exhibition’s central video work, which metabolizes original footage, Hollywood films, found media, and sound. These transparent layers accumulate into a fractured tale of domestic alien encounter, unfolding amidst broader reflections on the strange ecologies and shifting power dynamics between humans and technology. This suspension between the everyday and the bizarre is mirrored in the exhibition’s title video, an associative and recursive composition that metabolizes original footage, Hollywood science fiction, and found sound […]
Evelyn Sommerhoff | Bondage | Galerie Z22 | 30.10.-08.11.2025
until 08.11. | #4859ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 shows from 30. October 2025 the exhibition „Bondage“ by the artist Evelyn Sommerhoff. Bondage refers to practices of tying up or restricting the body’s freedom of movement in BDSM. The term comes from English and means, among other things, “unfreedom” or “servitude”. The goal is sexual stimulation; However, there are special forms in which bondage is used for aesthetic or other reasons. (WIKIPEDIA) Bondage – figurines – as an artistic examination of the boundary between control and devotion. The exhibition does not explore the technical practice of bondage, but rather the complex experience of the body in the area of tension between security, pain and release. It’s about the perception of one’s own body in changing life situations: elevated by adrenaline and risk, calmed by trust, challenged by boundaries and clear saying no. The works invite you to consider the subtle coherence of power, consent and self-determination – beyond clichés and pigeonholes. How does the experience of the body change when boundaries are pushed or tested? What role does consent, communication and safety play in the process of building and releasing tension? Which forms of devotion, trust and autonomy can be made visible without […]
Tomás Saraceno | Solo exhibition | neugerriemschneider | 01.11.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4847ARTatBerlin | neugerriemschneider (Linienstrasse) shows from 1 November 2025 (Opening: 31.10.) a solo exhibition by artist Tomás Saraceno. The artist Tomás Saraceno’s second solo exhibition at neugerriemschneider, tomás saracenoi, focuses on water cycles as material and metaphor, ahead of his 2026 presentation at Haus der Kunst in Munich. The title refers to Heteropoda saracenoi, a spider species named in honor of the artist by arachnologist Peter Jäger. The exhibition builds on Saraceno’s long-term collaboration with indigenous communities from the Salinas Grandes and Laguna de Guayatayoc in northern Argentina. The water of these salt flats is both a spiritual source and a contested resource—shaped by exploitative practices of supposedly green energy corporations that threaten not only the water itself but also ancestral knowledge and living memory. This context deeply informs the works on view. Upon entering the gallery, visitors encounter a freestanding toilet—a familiar object, yet modified to reuse handwashing water for flushing. This intervention embodies Saraceno’s attempt to find new pathways into water cycles—at once sculpture and functional prototype of a system that already operates in his studio and could save up to 14,000 liters of water per year if implemented in the gallery context. Nearby, prints […]
Ann Edholm | Stimmen / Röster | Galerie Nordenhake | 01.11.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4846ARTatBerlin | Galerie Nordenhake shows from 01. November 2025 (Opening: 31.10.) the exhibition “Stimmen / Röster” by the artist Ann Edholm. In Voices / Röster, Ann Edholm brings together significant works from the early 1990s and a new body of paintings from this year that mark a new phase in her practice. Together, they reveal the richness and force of her distinctive, physically engaged approach to abstraction, while highlighting her significant position within Swedish and European painting. Image as Act, the title of two large-scale canvases, can be seen as emblematic of the new works. Edholm developed each painting individually through the painterly process itself, correlating them to the human body. They demand an active, bodily engagement – “from navel to navel,” as Edholm explains – to fully grasp their subtle complexity and contrasting painterly effects. In Image as Act, vivid red “zips” run horizontally across the canvases as evenly as lines on a page, while smoky gestures of black color seem to press against the grid from behind. Depending on the viewer’s perspective and the interplay of light, the black shifts in depth and tonality, revealing an intricate web of traces and allusions. Ann Edholm, Image as Act […]
Toby Ursell | Park Bench Paintings | Verena Kerfin Gallery | 07.11.–05.12.2025
until 05.12. | #4845ARTatBerlin | Verena Kerfin Gallery shows from Friday, 7 November 2025 the solo exhibition “Park Bench Paintings” by the artist Toby Ursell. British painter Toby Ursell (b. 1981, Cheltenham) transforms the park bench into a painterly display and a stage for images. A continuous wall drawing shows Olive Oyl at both ends of an endless bench; on its seat rest small oil paintings – spinach cans turned into vases, coffee pots, Popeye & Olivia – motifs oscillating between everyday object, brand image, and cartoon. Ursell weaves together comic and painting, commodity and still life, humor and form. The bench becomes a hierarchy-free frieze: it replaces the pedestal, brings the works closer to the viewer, and situates them within a social topography of picnic, waiting, and conversation. In their serial arrangement, tonal shifts, lettering, and painterly texture come to the fore. Following exhibitions in London and Berlin (Oyl Paintings, Verena Kerfin Gallery, 2021), Ursell once again reveals his “gentle anarchism” – painting as an open system that questions museum conventions while keeping the images precise, sensuous, and utterly present.

until 13.02. | #4844 ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner shows from 01. November 2025 (Opening: 31.10.) the exhibition “Nicht an jeder Palme hängt ‘ne Kokosnuss” by the artists Moritz Schleime und Corinne von Lebusa. Moritz Schleime’s oil paintings mix pirate adventures, Caribbean dreams and road trips with the subliminal gloom of cemetery stories and ghost trains. In his intoxicating images full of references to our pop culture and the places of longing of our time, human depths, excess and great fun alternate at the helm. Moritz Schleime + Corinne von Lebusa, Oceania, 2025, fineliner, colored pencil, watercolor, lacquer on fine cardboard, 50 x 40 cm In the supposed idyll of perfect physicality, stylish interiors and sunny oases, Corinne von Lebusa undermines expectations and role models with mischief and a twinkle in her eye. With great lightness of touch and openness, the artist depicts erotically charged encounters in pictorial spaces full of luminous, precisely placed colour drifts, in which the women take centre stage. Moritz Schleime + Corinne von Lebusa, Egypt study, 2014, fineliner, colored pencil, watercolor, lacquer on fine cardboard, 30 x 21 cm When Moritz Schleime and Corinne von Lebusa draw and paint together, it is like listening to an unconventional duet.

Uwe Kowski | news, Pinsel und eine Lilie | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin | 30.10.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4842ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin shows from Thursday, 30 October 2025 the exhibition “news, Pinsel und eine Lilie” by the artist Uwe Kowski. Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin is pleased to announce the exhibition news, Pinsel und eine Lilie by Uwe Kowski, opening on Thursday, 30 October 2025, at 5 pm.In his canvases and watercolors, the artist unites object and dissolution, linear structure and surface. His works emerge through a painterly process that powerfully combines intuition and control, emotion and composition, constantly opening up new pictorial spaces. In a reflection on his artistic approach, Kowski describes his relationship to painting as follows: “Something should happen that doesn’t work verbally. I usually enter uncertain territory because, although I have an idea, I don’t actually know where it will take me. It can also fail because I want this pure painting, but I need that little piece of story, a beginning, a theme. (…) That’s also why I often say: the painting is not abstract, it always comes from somewhere. Abstract for me is red, green, yellow. Just like that. I find the term ‘abstract painting’ doesn’t say much. The message is: painting! And the path to […]
Ross Taylor | Divine Cargo | Russi Klenner | 01.11.–13.12.2025
until 13.12. | #4840ARTatBerlin | Russi Klenner shows from Saturday, 1. November (Opening: 31.10.) the exhibition “Divine Cargo” by the artist Ross Taylor.. Ross Taylor’s work operates in a liminal space where creation and consumption merge. Through painting, performance, and bookmaking, the artist explores the ambiguity of the creative process — a terrain shaped by habits and indecision, where conventional methods give way to the instinctual and unidentifiable. The exhibition “Divine Cargo” revolves around the notion of a “divine cargo” — something special and precious that must be delivered safely to a place or person. Driven by a visionary mission and behaviors that linger on the edges of daily life — picking, scratching, waiting, staring — Taylor guides viewers to the outskirts of the city. For him, the “special material” being carried is habit itself. Growing up on the outskirts of Northwest London, Taylor developed the habit of nocturnal wandering. This evolved into formative psychogeographical explorations, imprinted in this body of work where figures and landscapes merge. Drawing on Irish and British folklore, particularly the Púca — a solitary spirit wandering between worlds — Taylor examines how costumes allow beings to become visible and invisible across different realities. Opening: Friday, […]
Auf den Punkt gebracht | 45 years of gallery work | Galerie Inga Kondeyne | 25.10.–06.12.2025
until 06.12. | #4839ARTatBerlin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne shows from Saturday, 25. October 2025 the anniversary exhibition “Auf den Punkt gebracht” on the occasion of 45 years of gallery work. With works by Marlies Appel, Eve Aschheim, Curt Asker, James Bockelman, Claudia Busching, Nadine Fecht, Thomas Gosebruch, Hanna Hennenkemper, Alexander Klenz, Astrid Köppe, Bettina Munk, Kazuki Nahkahara, Johannes Regin, Dorothee Rocke, Christian Schiebe, Hanns Schimansky, Carsten Sievers, Christiane Schlosser, Malte Spohr, Sam Szembek, H. Frank Taffelt, Beate Terfloth, Jana Troschke and Konrad Wohlhage. “45 years of gallery work – a long road with countless exhibitions up to today’s drawing gallery in Carmerstraße on Savi-gnyplatz in Berlin. Each one was and is a new challenge. This one too. There are mainly current drawings by 24 artists on display. Some works also come from the depot. Let us surprise you. In the mid-1980s, during the time of the Rotunde Gallery in the Altes Museum, I fell under the spell of the medium of drawing through the art of my generation. This generation reacted to the traditional attitudes of the so-called East Berlin school of painting in an increasingly experimental way with abstract formulations on paper. With works by Joachim Böttcher, Volker Henze, […]
David Yarrow | CAMERA WORK | 22.11.2025-24.01.2026
until 24.01. | #4838ARTatBerlin | CAMERA WORK shows from 22. November 2025 an exhibition by the artist David Yarrow. The exhibition shows works from David Yarrow’s ongoing themes The Natural World and Storytelling, which are characterised by their cinematic composition. The deliberate use of light and shadow creates a tension that echoes the visual compositions of classic Hollywood productions. This visual language gives the works a strong narrative layer and elevates Yarrow’s animal portraits in particular beyond a purely documentary character. References to places of longing, sporting events or cinematic scenes from the collective memory are elements in the artist’s work that create emotional spaces in which nature, culture and aesthetics merge to create iconic visual worlds. David Yarrow realises his photographic projects in various international locations, including the USA, South Africa, China, Great Britain, Scho’land and Italy. About David Yarrow David Yarrow was born in Glasgow in 1966. His passion for photography began early on. At the age of 20, he took the legendary portrait of the jubilant cup winner Diego Maradona in the final of the World Cup in Mexico City for The London Times. Yarrow turned to artistic photography much later, devoting himself to nature and wildlife. […]
Olena Klochko | Inside the Schrödinger Box | Galerie Z22 | 16.10.-25.10.2025
unil 25.10. | #4837ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 shows from 16. October 2025 the exhibition “Inside the Schrödinger Box” by the artist Olena Klochko. „Inside the Schrödinger Box“ ist ein Kunstprojekt, das die fragile und paradoxe Natur der menschlichen Existenz in einer zunehmend chaotischen Welt untersucht. Wie Schrödingers Katze, die in einer Kiste gefangen ist und gleichzeitig lebendig und tot ist, befindet sich die Menschheit in einem Zustand existenzieller Ungewissheit. Society is characterised by the vulgarity of politics, endless power struggles and oppressive forces that push people towards consumerism and imposed political doctrines. Faced with the suffering and loss caused by ongoing military conflicts, such as the war in Ukraine, people have distanced themselves from their true consciousness and are sinking into the superficial distractions of modern life. The pursuit of authority and digital dominance aims to undermine collective wisdom. With the decline of consciousness, people are in danger of disappearing into nothingness, trapped in the paradox of existence and non-existence, where the essence of our being could simply vanish. This project engages with real people and their psychology, as a kind of quantum oddity. The artist invites viewers to reflect on the fragility of our presence in the world—alongside its […]
Fahar Al-Salih + Myriam Schahabian | Painting Objects Photography + Ceramic Sculptures | Galerie Tammen | 17.10.–15.11.2025
until 15.11. | #4836ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tammen shows from Friday, 17. October 2025 an exhibition by the artists Fahar Al-Salih and Myriam Schahabian. The Power of Gentleness – A Hidden Force In a world marked by fragmentation and acceleration, gentleness appears as a radical gesture—an act of quiet resistance and poetic strength. This exhibition understands gentleness not as fragility, but as a form of resilience: a nuanced, often invisible force that resists through care, presence, and intimate attention. In the exhibition, this concept takes shape through the works of Fahar Al-Salih and Myriam Schahabian—artists whose practice reflects fragmented histories, cultural intersections, and emotional terrains. Their works unfold like whispered memories in multi-layered narratives that demand to be viewed slowly and attentively. Fahar Al-Salih’s photographic and sculptural series “Baghdad Blues” and “Mosaics” depict living spaces and urban landscapes, tracing the contours of a city that remains in memory and is imagined. Rather than focusing exclusively on loss, his work suggests that gentle remembrance is also a form of reclaiming. Myriam Schahabian, „o.T.“, 2024, Stoneware, engobe, hand-printed, glazed, 42 x 28 cm Myriam Schahabian’s ceramic sculptures, vases, and installations combine painting, architecture, and writing to create hybrid forms. In her hands, material […]
Manuela Benaim, Makiko Harris & Emily Pope | Body Archive | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin | 16.10.–15.11.2025
until 15.11. | #4835ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin shows from Thursday, 16. October 2025 (Vernissage: 15.10.) the exhibition “Body Archive” by the artists Manuela Benaim, Makiko Harris and Emily Pope. Fragmented body parts, twisting torsos, masked and floating faces. Body Archive brings together three artists whose practices variously explore the female body as site, surface and symbol. Drawing on art history, mythology, and contemporary representations of femininity, the works in this exhibition examine the complexities of selfhood, desire, memory and the performance of identity. Emily Pope’s tightly cropped paintings place us in the unsettling role of the voyeur, as if we are peering through a letterbox or observing a peep show, catching glimpses of a body that feels both familiar and strange. This is especially true in the work depicting a voluptuous, milky torso and exposed breasts. The body here is an archetype, derived from a compilation of art historical references and the artist’s personal archives – a form we feel we’ve encountered before, but can’t quite place. Similarly, paintings of a woman’s raised collarbones and tightly corseted body evoke a haunting sense of recognition, even as the context for these figures is deliberately stripped away, leaving us to fill in the […]
Andreas Amrhein und Georg-Friedrich Wolf | True Companions | Galerie SCHMALFUSS BERLIN | 18.10.–22.11.2025
until 22.11. | #4834ARTatBerlin | Galerie SCHMALFUSS BERLIN show from 18 October 2025 (Opening: 18.10.) the exhibition “True Companions” featuring works by Andreas Amrhein and Georg-Friedrich Wolf. The exhibition ‘True Companions’ combines the humorous, narrative imagery of Andreas Amrhein with the dynamic steel sculptures of Georg-Friedrich Wolf, opening up exciting perspectives on shared attitudes and artistic expression.

Sven Johne | Eternal 20th Century | KLEMM’S | 31.10.2025-17.01.2026
until 17.01. | #4831ARTatBerlin | KLEMM’S shows from 31. October 2025 the exhibition “Eternal 20th Century“ by the artist Sven Johne. In Eternal 20th Century, Johne retraces the landscapes of history through the body, pointing at the threshold of presence and erasure. In times of war, the exhibition speculates on a century of conflict that refuses to end, insisting that history, under the crushing weight of its repetition, remains inscribed in the body and psyche like an after-image—fragile, exposed, yet enduring. In the exhibition, Johne opens up space for associations that are crucial to the realization of its claim: to create metaphors of being and to conceive alternative myths in times when violence and its effects permeate every aspect of public and private life. “The war-torn, gruesome 20th century began on June 28, 1914, at the Latin Bridge in Sarajevo, and we thought it had ended on November 9, 1989, at the Böse Bridge in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin. We thought the end of history had been reached, but now we see that the 20th century never ended. I spent a summer driving along the Oder and Neisse rivers, through the destroyed inner cities of the last war. These are still traumatized […]
Klaus Steinmann | Freiheit im Malen | Semjon Contemporary | 16.10.2025-20.11.2025
until 20.11. | #4831ARTatBerlin | Semjon Contemporary shows from Thursday, 16. October 2025 the exhibition “Freiheit im Malen” by the artist Klaus Steinmann. Klaus Steinmann, born in Darmstadt in 1939, can look back on a long artistic career. As a young man, he had the opportunity to experience the legendary exhibition The New American Painting 1959, which toured Europe and was also shown at the Berlin University of the Arts on Steinplatz – and it made a deep impression on him. So much so that he never allowed himself to be completely caught up in the disputes and infighting in and around concrete art. Klaus Steinmann went his own way. Constructive art as a tool, yes, but enriched by the (visual) experience of American minimal art and colour field painting. The basic shapes of the rectangle, circle and triangle have accompanied him throughout his artistic life and continue to do so today. Placing these shapes in tension with the multifaceted image background has allowed him to create a very differentiated and rich oeuvre. Klaus Steinmann, O.T. (SC-096), 2024, 30,5 x 33,6 cm, dispersion paint and graphite on fabric on wood, Photo: Eric Tschernow From the late 1980s onwards, he added […]
Amélie von Heydebreck | Something magic | Semjon Contemporary | 16.10.-20.11.2025
until 20.11. | #4830ARTatBerlin | Semjon Contemporary shows from, 16. October 2025 the exhibition “Something magic” by the artist Amélie von Heydebreck. Amélie von Heydebreck’s second solo exhibition at Semjon Contemporary features works from her most recent studio production. There is something buzzing in the exhibition space that is elusive and utterly fascinating: the physical presence of the works on the one hand as materialised, physical artefacts of an artistic idea and attitude that has been transformed into images – for themselves, but also in dialogue with each other – and the radiance of each light painting. And the radiance is something else! In one group of works, there is a centre of light that radiates explosively into the surrounding dark-coloured pictorial space, finding its (radiant) boundary in the other colour space, and eventually extinguishing itself, setting the stage for the surrounding colour darkness (cf. AUTUMN VIBES and DAYDREAM). One might think one is witnessing the birth of a star or a planet. The concentration of light or energy is so high that the next thing one might expect is a cosmic formation, materialised as a solid, to leap out of the picture. At the same time, these works embody […]
Lidó Rico | De Rerum Naturae | Luisa Catucci Gallery | 17.10.–20.12.2025
until 20.12. | #4829ARTatBerlin | Luisa Catucci Gallery shows from Thursday, 16 October 2025, the exhibition “De Rerum Naturae” by the artist Lidó Rico. Luisa Catucci Gallery presents De Rerum Naturae, an exhibition by Spanish artist Lidó Rico exploring the profound relationship between humanity, matter, and the natural world. Inspired by Lucretius’ philosophical poem of the same title, Rico examines the physical and existential roots of human existence, questioning the boundaries between the organic and the artificial, nature and technology, body and consciousness. Working with liquid resins cast into silicone moulds – some taken from his own body, others from brains provided by the University of Murcia – Rico creates sculptures that expose the vulnerability of the human condition in an age of technological dependence and performance culture. Lidó Rico, De Rerum Naturae, Portrait. © Courtesy Luisa Catucci Gallery & the artist In De Rerum Naturae, humanity appears as a being increasingly detached from its biological origins. Rico’s fragmented figures – heads, brains, and distorted faces – embody the fatigue of a society obsessed with productivity and self-optimization, revealing the psychological and ecological toll of constant acceleration. His sculptures act as metaphors for the violence of self-exploitation and the exhaustion […]
Karl Menzen | Stimmen von Stahl. Tellurische Gesichter | Galerie feinart berlin | 12.10.-22.11.2025
until 22.11. | #4828ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin presents from Saturday, 11th October 2025 the exhibition “Stimmen von Stahl. Tellurische Gesichter” by the artist Karl Menzen. The feinart berlin gallery pays tribute to Karl Menzen (11 April 1950 – 19 November 2020), whose poetic sculptures adorn public spaces throughout Berlin. Karl Menzen would have turned 75 this year. Together with prominent institutions such as the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen, the Haus am Lützowplatz in Berlin and the Kunsthalle Lehnin, the feinart berlin gallery is honouring the work of the metal sculptor this year, whose poetic steel sculptures can be seen in many public spaces in Berlin and other federal states. Karl Menzen’s work is unmistakably characterised by the principle of reduction to elementary geometric forms. His „Transformations“ arise, for example, from rectangular, square or round base plates, which he liberates for unfolding into space through simple incisions and bends. His guiding motif is to lend the hard, heavy material an essence of movement. The departure of the originally flat basic form into three-dimensionality is a dynamic event: the sculptures stand up, balance, take off, fly.

Wojtek Hoeft | the visitors | Galerie mutare | 09.10.–22.11.2025
until 22.11. | #4827ARTatBerlin | Galerie mutare shows from Thursday, 9 October 2025 the exhibition “the visitors” with sculptures by Wojtek Hoeft. Galerie mutare presents the visitors, an exhibition featuring new sculptures by Wojtek Hoeft, whose artistic language blends materiality, precision and a deep sense of emotional resonance. Born in 1967 in Gdynia, Poland, Hoeft moved to Germany in 1990. From 1992 to 2000, he studied sculpture at the University of Applied Sciences for Design in Bielefeld under Richard Heß. In 1994, he won the competition for the monument commemorating the town partnership between Bad Oeynhausen (Germany) and Fismes (France). A DAAD scholarship brought him to Florence in 1996, where he further developed his exploration of space and sculptural form. Since 2000, Hoeft has worked as a freelance artist. In 2002, following the unveiling of his Haller Willem Monument for the city of Halle Westfalen, he moved to Berlin, where he later founded the sculpture group KernForm in 2008. He was nominated for the Saxon Sculpture Prize (2007) and the Gustav Seitz Prize (2014), and his works have been exhibited in Germany, France, the Netherlands and Poland, and are held in both private and public collections. Wojtek Hoeft, the visitors, […]
Treibende Kräfte | Group exhibition | Laura Mars Gallery | 02.10.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4826ARTatBerlin | Laura Mars Gallery shows from Thursday, 02. October 2025 the Group exhibition “Treibende Kräfte” by the artists Lada Nakonechna, Mykola Ridnyi, Dana Kavelina, Olha Marusyn, Olga Gaidash and Eugene Shimalsky. The title Treibende Kräfte implies in German both a self-determined, dynamic forward movement as well as being driven by forces beyond one’s control. The conflict between these states characterizes a currently prevailing mood that has also manifested itself in many artistic works in recent years. The exhibition features sculptures, photographs, videos, and paintings from the years 2011-2025, most of which are being shown in Berlin for the first time. Two of the artists live in Ukraine, while all the others have been in exile in Germany since 2022. While some works refer specifically to Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, others focus on longer-term, sometimes international social and political developments. The exhibition accompanies the international conference (Un)Safe Plurality: Ukraine and Beyond, held at the Institute for East European Studies, Free University of Berlin, on September 30–October 1 in cooperation with the Leibniz Center for Literary and Cultural Research (ZfL). Both events conclude the project (Un)Disciplined: Pluralising Ukrainian Studies – Understanding the War in Ukraine (UNDIPUS, 2022–2026), conducted at the Universities […]
Frank Rödel | VOM DENKEN IN ZEITLOSIGKEIT | Galerie Schindler LAB | 11.10.–22.11.2025
until 22.11. | #4825ARTatBerlin | Schindler LAB in Potsdam, presents from Saturday, 11. October 2025 the exhibition VOM DENKEN IN ZEITLOSIGKEIT by the artist Frank Rödel. WHAT A WONDER! What a sensual explosion of the most unusual and subtle colors, shapes, and structures, revealed to the viewer’s eye during hikes and especially when looking down from a bird’s-eye view at Iceland’s landscapes shaped by fire and ice! Frank Rödel, Aus luftiger Höhe gesehen, 100 x 130 cm, Mischtechnik auf Leinwand, 2025 How to find a language to give form and pictorial expression to what I have seen? Layer by layer, through a lengthy process of adding, removing, and adding again, painted images develop and condense into a unique, independent, sensual world of my remembered dreams and soulscapes. Gletscherland II, 50 x 50 cm, Mischtechnik auf Leinwand, 2025 In special moments of gratitude, as if in reward for my creative efforts, I feel a sense of reconciliation and the warming intuition that my fragile humanity is preserved in the greater whole. FAZ, February 2023 Frank Rödel, Ein kalter Tag, 125 x 94 cm, Mischtechnik auf Leinwand, 2022 In the end, only eternity itself is made for eternity—who would know this better […]
Brigitte Yoshiko Pruchnow | Traces of Solitude | Galerie Schindler | 16.10.–29.11.2025
until 29.11. | #4824ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler shows from Thursday, 16. October 2025 the exhibition „Traces of Solitude“ by the artist Brigitte Yoshiko Pruchnow. In her new works, Brigitte Yoshiko Pruchnow follows the subtle traces of solitude. Her paintings capture those moments when time slows down and an inner space opens up. Between light and shadow, images of quiet intensity emerge, inviting the viewer to follow the gentle movements of retreat. Each canvas becomes a search for traces—for inner vastness, for tranquility, for the delicate glimmer of a different view of the world. Brigitte Yoshiko Pruchnow, Focussing, 100 x 100 cm, Mischtechnik auf Rohleinen, 2024 At first glance, B. Yoshiko Pruchnow’s series of works may appear different: earthy, muted still lifes and back portraits, vibrant, neon-colored blue tones in the underwater images, and color-intensive Tokyo motifs in the glowing metropolis. But what all series have in common is a moment of pause and reflection—the common thread in Pruchnow’s work. Brigitte Yoshiko Pruchnow, Burnout Banana, Mischtechnik auf Rohleinen, 30 x 30 cm, 2025 In the still lifes, for example, or in the back portraits of the young protagonists, calm and seclusion merge into concentrated states of being. The underwater scenes take […]
Eilike Schlenkhoff | ROKOKOKOKOTTE | GALERIE STEFAN RASCHE | 05.09.-08.11.2025
until 08.11. | #4822ARTatBerlin | GALERIE STEFAN RASCHE shows from 05. September 2025 the exhibition “ROKOKOKOKOTTE” by the artist Eilike Schlenkhoff. A brushstroke, a splash of colour or a graphic gesture – Eilike Schlenk-hoff deals with such pictorial elements of abstract painting. However, she pursues an artistic camouflage that is based on a surprising re-evaluation of pictorial means: With a palpable desire to experiment, she works on overcoming supposed opposites, because the abstract suddenly becomes a tangible object, gains space, changes its state, its meaning and its meaninglessness. In recent years, this has developed into a complex painterly cosmos that constantly produces new pictorial sensations – and reveals very different ways of dealing with the inherently abstract colour figures. There are, for example, singular brushstrokes that cast a shadow on the picture ground like ominous flying objects. Then again it is a calyx, a thread or a collection of floating particles that the painter traces in a trenchant manner. Or whole bundles of brushstrokes emerge, resembling a fountain, an ambiguous organism. Brummbeere, 2025, Öl auf Leinwand, 60 × 50 cm The basis of her pictorial inventions is almost always a monochrome surface, which becomes the sounding board for such colour […]
Multiverse | Group exhibition | Galerie oqbo | 19.09.-17.10.2025
until 17.10. | #4821ARTatBerlin | Galerie oqbo shows from Friday, 19. September 2025 the group exhibition “Multiverse” with works from Natalie Czech, Katia Sophia Ditzler, Gerhild Ebel, Stefan Heuer, Bettina Hutschek , Thorsten Krämer, Frank Milautzcki, Erec Schumacher and Christine Zureich. The exhibition “Multiverse” brings contemporary positions in visual poetry to Berlin. Artists Natalie Czech, Katia Sophia Ditzler, Gerhild Ebel, Stefan Heuer, Bettina Hutschek, Thorsten Krämer, Frank Milautzcki, Erec Schumacher, and Christine Zureich are showing their works of visual poetry at the oqbo gallery. Visual poetry is booming and is one of the most exciting and diverse forms of expression in contemporary literature. It sees itself as an experimental field of cooperative and collective work that finds its audience primarily on the internet—on social media, in blogs, and on art portals. The artists work in dynamic and changing collaborations, organize themselves into networks, hold pop-up exhibitions, and create their own publication structures, such as indie publishers, art book publications, zines, and chapbooks. This has led to the development of a dynamic, international artistic scene that works in an interdisciplinary and cooperative manner. Vernissage: Friday, 19. September 2025, from 7 pm Reading & Talk: Thursday, 25. September 2025, from 7:30 pm […]
Timm Rautert | die welt und die spiegel | Galerie Nordenhake | 06.09.–25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4820ARTatBerlin | Galerie Nordenhake is currently presenting the exhibition “die welt und die spiegel” by the artist Timm Rautert. For five decades, Timm Rautert has shaped the perception of photography, its possibilities and limitations. His Image-Analytical Photography series, begun in 1968 and long considered groundbreaking, is regarded as a radical exploration of the medium’s basic grammar. Early on, Rautert departed from the idea of photography as a purely reality-reproducing practice, instead making visible the performative and staged aspects of representation. His first solo exhibition at Galerie Nordenhake in Berlin brings together two recent series, a room installation, and several key works from the 1970s. In Weltraum (2014/15), Rautert makes architectural space the protagonist. His photographs guide us through the FAO headquarters in Rome, a building conceived as a colonial administration, halted during WWII, and completed in the 1950s as the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. By documenting the rooms individually designed by member states, Rautert highlights the building’s layered and contradictory history while also reflecting on strategies of self-representation and on photography’s ability to shape reality. With Manhattan Mirror (2012), New York becomes a city of reflections. Skyscrapers appear as collaged fragments, humans are present yet never […]
Bettina Pousttchi | Horizons | Buchmann Galerie | 12.09.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4819ARTatBerlin | Buchmann Galerie shows from 12. September 2025 the exhibition “Horizons” by the artist Bettina Pousttchi. The exhibition brings together new photographic works on canvas from the eponymous series „Horizons”, as well as new polychrome sculptures made of ceramic and steel. The point of departure for all three groups of works is, in different ways, the urban experience of Berlin. Coinciding with the exhibition at the gallery is the inauguration of the six-meter-high sculpture “Vertical Highways V02″ by Bettina Pousttchi in front of the Istanbul Modern as part of the museum collection. With her new series „Horizons” Bettina Pousttchi continues her conceptual approach to an expanded notion of photography, bringing together photographic methods with painterly means. The „Horizons” series alludes to the artist’s highly acclaimed photo installation „Echo”, which covered the entire façade of the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin with 970 photographic prints on paper for six months in 2009/2010. The artist photographed sections of these paper prints showing the reflective window surfaces of the Palast. Captured in these motifs are details from the original photographic print now bearing the marks of natural weathering over a period of six months. The works thus form a layered depiction […]
SLUR | Exhibition group | Aurel Scheibler
until 01.11. | #4817ARTatBerlin | Aurel Scheibler presents from 11. September 2025 the group exhibition SLUR by the artists Schutter, Tom Chamberlain, Jack Pierson, Andy Warhol, Alice Neel and Öyvind Fahlström. The English word “slur” is one of those terms that can be interpreted very differently depending on the context.In music,for example, it refers to a curved sign placed over notes and, with it, the indication that they should be played smoothly and seamlessly. Slur also denotes an extremely offensive and socially unacceptable term intended to denigrate and insult. In addition, it refers to inarticulate, unclear, or incorrect pronunciation, where words run into one another. Tom Chamberlain Slur, 2019 Acrylic on canvas 90 x 100 cm © Tom Chamberlain Slur takes its title from the painting by Tom Chamberlain in this exhibition. It is a work of ephemeral form. Our perception is destabilised, for in its appearance Chamberlain’s work operates on the boundary between something and nothing.The canvas reveals no structure, and the countless thin layers of paint show no brush marks. What was just supposedly seen dissolves again,and the eye wanders,searching for support on the smooth surface. David Schutter‘s works,such as the painting AIC G 219 shown here, like […]
Dudu Quintanilha | Sun of Tomorrow | PSM Gallery | 12.09.–25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4818ARTatBerlin | PSM Gallery shows from Friday, 12. September 2025 (Vernissage: 11.09.) the exhibition “Sun of Tomorrow” by the artist Dudu Quintanilha. For Berlin Art Week 2025, PSM presents new works by Berlin-based artist Dudu Quintanilha (São Paulo, 1987). Working between performance, video, photography, and collaborative processes, Quintanilha explores the intersections of intimacy, collectivity, and the political dimension of the body. His practice approaches art as a form of documentation—yet always seeking experimental ways to transform the act of recording into an open field of experience. The exhibition brings together two major recent projects: Erotics in Participation (2024) is a three-channel video installation developed from a workshop conceived for Stadt:Kollektiv at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, with the support of the Inter Media Art Institute IMAI in Düsseldorf, and with choreographic advice by Katja Cheraneva. Starting from the charged concepts of eroticism and participation, the project asked: Can we still be experimental with the erotic today? How do digital intimacy, polyamory, safe spaces, and rising conservative violence reshape our desires and gestures of connection? Participants explored new physical vocabularies of desire, affection, fear, and rejection, while translating their movements into silhouettes behind a screen. The resulting video, accompanied by a soundtrack by Lille Lake […]
Anh Trần | Every water has the right place to be in | Galerie Société | 11.09.-11.10.2025
until 11.10. | #4816ARTatBerlin | Galerie Société shows from Thursday, 11. September 2025 the exhibition “Every water has the right place to be in” by the artist Anh Trần. “What have you done to my water?” the Lord asked in a 2013 short story by Joy Williams. “My living water…” “Oh,” the engineers said, “we thought that was just a metaphor,” their pipes defiling the fluid the Lord sipped from his glass. Literal talk is seldom wise. Don’t figures of speech press with some other kind of weight, double as vessels, a reality lodged within the word? Symbols, it turns out, are not mere abstractions, but structurally, if not sacredly, material bodies that call for concern. In keeping with a certain legacy of her painting genre, that is what does not happen in Anh Trần’s abstractions. Mercurial, graphic, nervous, generous, her signs do point to something beyond themselves and yet wallow in a physicality hard to translate into a tongue we know. Grounded and ungrounded at once. We are left to conjure a subterranean dragon ghost on the canvas (Are the clouds in the Oculo like oblivion?), a very cloudy metropolis (It isn’t cold if you have a dream), a diaphanous […]
Arhun Aksakal | Land Before Time | EBENSPERGER KAPELLE | 11.09.–04.10.2025
until 04.10. | #4815ARTatBerlin | EBENSPERGER in the chapel at Luxoom Lab presents from Thursday, 11 September 2025, the first solo exhibition ‘Land Before Time’ by the young artist Arhun Aksakal. At the heart of the exhibition is Aksakal’s new video work Land Before Time. The 19-minute film weaves together documentary and poetic imagery into a visual essay on past and present civilizations and their impact on landscapes, architecture, and memory. The film traces a path from the gleaming white potash mountains—once industrial waste, now elevated into tourist monuments—to the submerged ruins of the ancient city of Hasankeyf in Turkey, a cradle of civilization erased by massive dam projects. Other sites include Ferropolis, the “city of iron” where monumental excavators now serve as a festival backdrop, Mount Nemrut, the Ilısu Dam, the gardens of Diyarbakır, and the Zollverein Coal Mine in Essen, where young parkour athletes transform Ulrich Rückriem’s sculptures into an obstacle course. Expanding on the film, the exhibition also presents a selection of new installations, forming a dense, immersive environment that allows visitors to experience and engage with Aksakal’s artistic language as a whole. Arhun Aksakal (*1995, Offenbach am Main) works across video, film, photography, sculpture, and performance. He studied […]
Why We Do What We Do | Group exhibition | Galerie Tanja Wagner | 11.09.-01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4814ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tanja Wagner presents from Thursday, 11. September 2025 the group exhibition Why We Do What We Do with works by Ulf Aminde, Annabel Daou, Elisa Giardina Papa, Šejla Kamerić, Kapwani Kiwanga, Laurel Nakadate, Grit Richter, Anna Steinert, Angelika J. Trojnarski and Anna Witt. The Tanja Wagner Gallery presents earlier and new works by its artists Ulf Aminde, Annabel Daou, Elisa Giardina Papa, Šejla Kamerić, Kapwani Kiwanga, Laurel Nakadate, Grit Richter, Anna Steinert, Angelika J. Trojnarski & Anna Witt, each accompanied by a statement in their own words—about what drives them, why they create, and what keeps them returning to their studios. “Why We Do What We Do” is both a love letter and a wink. A love letter to the artists whose vision, rigor, and tireless curiosity inspire me every day—and a wink to all of you who have cheered us on, challenged us, collected with passion, and made this journey richer than I could ever have imagined. During the opening of “Why We Do What We Do,” artist Annabel Daou from New York will appear for a special signing of her new monograph “Possibilities of Repair,” published by DISTANZ. “Possibilities of Repair” offers […]

Elizabeth Jaeger + Phillip Gabriel | Resent the Sky + Chroma Trigger | KLEMM’S | 10.09.-18.10.2025
until 18.10. | #4813ARTatBerlin | KLEMM’S shows from 10. September 2025 the exhibition “Resent the Sky“ by the artist Elizabeth Jaeger and the exhibition “Chroma Trigger” by the artist Phillip Gabriel. Elizabeth Jaeger – Resent the Sky Resent the Sky, Elizabeth Jaeger’s third solo exhibition at Klemm’s, presents a visual choreography navigating grief and power. A chorus of coffin-sized steel frames is rigorously ordered throughout the gallery, each bearing gunmetal-blackened tubes that reach skyward. Planted inside these upright barrels are hand-formed ceramic flowers—fragile, fire-hardened, and laboriously made. They present as offering, protest, and aftermath. Together, they rise in a strict yet undulating gradient behind a reclining sculpture of two species. The two figures lie in intentionally nightmarish ambiguity: tenderness laced with violence, protection entangled with control. As an installation, Resent the Sky wrestles with Weltschmerz, heartbreak, and scale shock—how grief is painfully suspended between the intense intimacy of personal loss and the overwhelming abstraction of mass tragedy. Phillip Gabriel – Chroma Trigger Phillip Gabriel, Hand of Regret, 2022, detail Chroma Trigger presents a group of paintings centered on the motif of hands, including a selection from the series Spoleto. Gabriel’s works steal and layer fleeting images into congealed surfaces of finessed oil, each canvas a cluster […]
Nikola Röthemeyer | flower:trail | Kuckei + Kuckei | 11.09.-24.10.2025
until 24.10. | #4812ARTatBerlin | Kuckei + Kuckei shows from Thursday, 11. September 2025 the exhibition flower:trail by the artist Nikola Röthemeyer. Nikola Röthemeyer’s drawings spin worlds of their own, which narrate the precise delicacy, the beauty of the organic and an imaginative, passionate observation of nature. The exhibition flower:trail brings together large-format drawings that can be read like a wall frieze, marking a continuous path through Röthemeyer’s cosmos of humans and animals, flora and fauna. She combines her highly precise brush drawings with areas of coloured ink, whose delicate gradients masterfully connect the deliberately placed with the randomly occurring. In the exhibition, they are complemented by a wall narrative that extends the drawing into the gallery space. The artist’s works are continuous, each of the motifs is connected to the following. Taken as a whole, they suggest a path through the unknown: a scene that appears both magical and adventurous, in which nature – simply in its choice of proportions – is far superior to humans. What could be interpreted in many ways as a “dreamlike landscape” embodies a concept of nature that symbolises a protective and harmonious force. Röthemeyer finds examples of this concept in the songlines of […]
Magnus Plessen | Dein Gesicht in meinen Händen | WENTRUP | 12.09.-01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4811ARTatBerlin | WENTRUP shows from Friday, 12. September 2025 (Vernissage: 11.09.) the exhibition „Dein Gesicht in meinen Händen“ by the artist Magnus Plessen. Wentrup is pleased to present Dein Gesicht in meinen Händen (Your face in my hands), Magnus Plessen’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Magnus Plessen’s latest body of work was shaped by a moment of personal reckoning: the death of his father and a return to childhood memories of ancestral portraits. Paintings emerge from this intimate landscape, turning memory and perception into tactile, layered images that oscillate between abstraction and figuration. Vernissage: Thursday, 11. September 2025, 6 – 10 pm Exhibition period: Friday, 12. September – Saturday, 01.

Julian Irlinger | Sleepwalkers | Galerie Thomas Schulte | 12.09.-08.11.2025
until 08.11. | #4810ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte (Potsdamer Straße) shows from Friday, 12. September 2025 (Vernissage: 11.09.) the exhibition “Sleepwalkers” by the artist Julian Irlinger. For his third solo exhibition at Galerie Thomas Schulte, Julian Irlinger is showing drawings, objects, and a video work—titled The Curtain of Time and commissioned by Portikus, Frankfurt/Main—collectively exploring the history and technique of hand-drawn cel animation and reflecting on the mediation of historical narratives. In his artistic practice, Irlinger approaches past events in sight of future conflicts. Through the excavation and recontextualization of historical fragments, his practice questions the mechanisms of memory and the transmission of history. Drawing on archives and historical aesthetics, his body of work—spanning drawing, film, photography, and sculpture—challenges dominant historical narratives and their cultural representations, as well as the ideological currents that shape them. Vernissage: Thursday, 11. September 2025, from 6 to 10 pm Exhibition period: Friday, 12. September until Saturday, 08. November 2025 Special opening hours for Berlin Art Week 2025: Sunday, 14.

Márcia Falcão | Corpo de Cor | Contemporary Fine Arts (CFA Berlin) | 12.09.-01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4807ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts shows from Friday, 12. September 2025 (Vernissage: 11.09.), the exhibition “Corpo de Cor” by the artist Márcia Falcão. Corpo de Cor—translated as Body of Colour—serves as both the title and conceptual framework of the exhibition. In her work, Márcia Falcão interweaves a sustained reflection on painting as a medium with an exploration of the body, which emerges not merely as a physical entity but as a vessel of history, identity, and political significance. Using thick, impasto layers of oil paint and a dynamic brushstroke, Falcão creates strikingly voluminous nudes. Her paintings possess a visceral and painterly urgency that recalls the fleshy materiality of Lucian Freud and the monumental representations of Jenny Saville. Yet Falcão distinctly positions the body as that of a Black woman—often her own, shaped by personal experience. Her approach to painting is deeply metalinguistic: through an interrogation of the medium’s formal qualities, she develops works that weave complex narratives and connections to femininity, motherhood, art history, marginalization, and violence. This exhibition, in the artist’s words, “condenses over twenty years of research into painting through the body, articulated across five continually evolving series”: Ioga Psicológica, Monumentais, Capoeira em Paleta Alta, […]
Dörte Eißfeldt | Solo-exhibition | Galerie Thomas Fischer | 11.09.-01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4805ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Fischer zeigt ab Thursday, 11. September eine Einzelausstellung der Künstlerin Dörte Eißfeldt. Dörte Eißfeldt has been exploring the creative and conceptual potential of photography as art since the late 1970s. Eißfeldt presents extracts of the visible world as we may have never considered them before: be it the human face or body or the effects of light, shadow and time on the physical conditions of things. At the same time, the materiality of different papers, textures, and printing techniques as well as the display of the prints on the wall or in a space play a decisive role. Opening: Wednesday, 10. September 2025, 6 – 9 pm. Exhibition dates: Thursday, 11. September – Saturday, 01. November 2025 Title image caption: Dörte Eißfeldt, courtesy of Galerie Thomas Fischer.

I sing the body electric | Group exhibition | Contemporary Fine Arts (CFA) | 10.09.-01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4804ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts Shows from Wednesday, 10. September 2025, the Group exhibition “I sing the body electric” by the artist Cecily Brown, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Sarah Lucas, Maja Ruznic and Tobias Spichtig. I Sing the Body Electric presents works by contemporary painters that deal with the human body. Walt Whitman’s poem, an ode to the human physique from which the exhibition title is borrowed, may sound unusually emphatic from today’s perspective. When it appeared in Leaves of Grass in 1855, however, it polarised the public. Its language was perceived as sexualised, and its veiled criticism of slavery was understood by some as just that. At that time, not even the trams were electric; they were still pulled by horses. In the mid-19th century, when electromagnetism had only just been discovered, the term had not yet found its way into everyday language and was familiar only to an intellectual and scientific avant-garde. The human body has preoccupied artists for millennia. Its representation in writing, language and visual art reflects social and cultural discourses. This exhibition also shows how different artistic approaches to this ancient topos can be. It can be suggested in a cryptic way, as in Cecily Brown’s The Call […]
Dan Walsh | Assembly | Galerie Thomas Schulte | 11.09.-08.11.2025 – extended until 22.11.2025
until 22.11. | #4808ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte (Charlottenstraße) shows from Thursday, 11. September 2025 (Vernissage: 10.09.) the exhibition “Assembly ” by the artist Dan Walsh. Galerie Thomas Schulte is pleased to present Assembly, a solo exhibition featuring recent paintings by Dan Walsh. Here, Walsh continues his process-oriented approach to generating images that are reduced in vocabulary yet layered in intricate systems. Initially appearing as smooth, minimalist patterns of discrete units, they gradually reveal disruptions, irregularities, and gentle traces. These compositions are structured around geometric, grid-like rows and columns, where the images’ cells soften at the edges, becoming fluid and, at times, taking the form of pods or capsules. Accumulations of time, paint, and form produce continuous shifts: from vibrant juxtapositions of color and alternations of black and white that recall classical optical illusions, to faint changes in contrast and nuanced gradients. In the square, medium-scale canvases, seriality and its subtle variations playfully unfold, as the images envelop us in their visual world—seemingly constructing their own internal logic only to subvert it. Vernissage: Wednesday, 10. September 2025, from 6 to 9 pm Exhibition period: Thursday, 11. September until Saturday, 08. November 2025 – ATTENTION: extended until Saturday, 22. November 2025 Special […]
Katharina Stadler | Thinking about feeling | Jarmuschek + Partner | 13.09.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4803 ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner shows from 13. September 2025 (Opening: 12.09.) the exhibition “Thinking about feeling” by the artist Katharina Stadler. Katharina Stadler finds her means of expression in colors, silhouettes, and gestural strokes on sewn-together fields of color, using them to visualize her experiences, memories, and reflections. In these works, the transitions from the subconsciously created to the intentionally directed seem to blur. Feelings and thoughts, it seems, manifest themselves and form a common, dynamic whole. Colored areas and brushstrokes intertwine, interpenetrate, and overlap, ending in one part of the picture only to begin again in a different way in the next or the one after that. With their symbolic potential, Katharina Stadler’s object-like works invite reflection on boundaries and finiteness. Again and again, one can start anew without having to discard what has already been recognized. Opening: Friday, 12. September 2025, 6 – 9 pm. Exhibition dates: Saturday, 13. September until Saturday, 25.

Philipp Modersohn | Unclosure | Galerie Guido W. Baudach | 12.09.2025-01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4801ARTatBerlin | Galerie Guido W. Baudach presents from 12th September 2025 (Opening 11.09.) the exhibition „Unclosure“ by the artist Philipp Modersohn. “Truly good and, indeed, divine things are alive and active outside you and should be let in to work their changes. Such incursions formally instruct and enrich our lives in society (…).” –Anne Carson, Eros the Bittersweet In his fifth solo exhibition with Galerie Guido W. Baudach, entitled Unclosure, Philipp Modersohn presents a new multifaceted installation in situ. Starting point is the examination of structures of demarcation and division that can lead to isolation. Possibilities for emancipation from these structures are explored using various everyday objects: a stone that cannot be categorised, a monitor that no longer displays anything and instead reveals its materiality made visible by heating, a room that opens up to an undefined weather event, … Parallel to the exhibition, the first comprehensive publication on Modersohn’s artistic practice, entitled Attitudes of Stone, is being released by Bom Dia Boa Tarde Boa Noite publishers, Berlin, edited by Wilma Lukatsch and the Kunstverein Oldenburg. The book contains short poetic and theoretical contributions by authors from various professions, pseudo-scientific diagrams, and an overview of the artist’s previous site-specific installations and other […]
Carrie Mae Weems | Painting the Town | Galerie Barbara Thumm | 12.09.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4802ARTatBerlin | Galerie Barbara Thumm shows from Friday, 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition “Painting the Town”by the artist Carrie Mae Weems. Weems created this series in 2021, in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder and the Black Lives Matter protests across the United States. The resulting photographs transform the scars of civic unrest into powerful visual and political statements. When the protests began, store owners from Weems’ hometown of Portland, Oregon, put up chipboard panels on their windows to protect their stores. These makeshift barriers became canvases for protesters to write slogans and graffiti. Authorities soon attempted to erase the messages by covering them with broad swathes of dark paint. What began as gestures of protection by local businesses, evolved into platforms of expression, only to be suppressed by local authorities who muted the cries for justice. During a consequent visit shortly after the events, Weems strolled through the streets and encountered these painted-over surfaces. What remained were fields of black, gray, and muted tones that unexpectedly reminisced mid-20th century Abstract Expressionist paintings. Recognizing their aesthetic force and political charge, Weems photographed them with the precise light, framing, and perspective that distinguish her practice. The […]
Thomas Zipp | Profondeville | Galerie Barbara Thumm | 12.09.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4800ARTatBerlin | Galerie Barbara Thumm show from Friday, 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition “Profondeville” by the artist Thomas Zipp. This exhibition marks a milestone in our ongoing collaboration with the artist and follows his participation in the group exhibition “Anti-Pop II,” which we co-curated and through which we first introduced Zipp’s work to our program. Thomas Zipp, widely known for his intellectually demanding, multidisciplinary approach, has been a central figure in contemporary art in Germany and beyond since the late 1990s. His oeuvre encompasses drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, and performance, consistently engaging with complex historical narratives, speculative knowledge systems, and psychological architectures. In “Profondeville,” Zipp unveils an impressive ensemble of works that deepens his engagement with the intertwined fields of memory, identity, and perception. The house—both as architectural structure and as metaphor—runs as a leitmotif throughout the exhibition: not only as psychological interior, but as a permeable space in which the boundaries of self, history, and consciousness become fluid. Echoing Freud’s observation that one is no longer master in one’s own house, Zipp’s spatial installations operate like cognitive maps: fragmented, unstable, and permeated by hidden forces. The exhibition title “Profondeville” refers to a small Belgian […]
Lucas Foglia | Constant Bloom | Robert Morat Galerie | 12.09.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4799ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie presents from Friday, 12th September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition „Constant Bloom“ by the artist Lucas Foglia. Photographer Lucas Foglia’s latest body of work is titled ‘Constant Bloom’. It traces the world’s longest butterfly migration. Each year, Painted Lady butterflies travel between Africa, the Middle East, and Europe in search of blooming flowers. They have followed this route for millions of years. Lucas Foglia, Wings from Two Painted Lady Butterflies, One Young and One Old, Institut Botànic de Barcelona, Spain, 2021 Today, with climate change altering when and where wildflowers bloom, Painted Ladies rely on flowers in our parks, farms, and gardens. As Foglia followed the butterflies from Kenya to Norway, he also met people experiencing unseasonal droughts, floods, or freezes. Many were refugees travelling to Europe along the same route as the Painted Ladies. In ‘Constant Bloom’, the longest butterfly migration becomes a metaphor for human connections across international borders. Opening: Thursday, 11.

Meg Stuart | What Holds Us | Ebensperger at Fichtebunker | 08.09.–25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4797ARTatBerlin | EBENSPERGER BERLIN show from Sunday, 7 September 2025 the exhibition “What Holds Us” by the artist Meg Stuart. In What Holds Us the Ebensperger Gallery welcomes artist Meg Stuart with a series of videos in which her choreographic practice and knowledge come into light. The exhibition unfolds as a “journey of presences,” reverberating like an evolving landscape. In the videos, Meg Stuart directs her poetic and imaginative sensibility toward the body, situated within desolate landscapes of undefined spaces, brutalist architectures in decay or strangely familiar environments. Through an ongoing dialogue between body and space, these performed presences reveal the worldly conditions – and the quietly overlooked potentials – of embodiment. Her work seeks out uncanny spaces – not as a subject but as an anchor. The person is shown intersecting and internally negotiating with a world that carries and has shaped them and is, in turn, continuously being shaped by them. The setting – the Ebensperger building, a bunker imbued with political history – invites us to take part in a collective activation of a labyrinthine space, where its visual conditions hold the secrets for us to be perceived and discovered. Choreographies echo the space, […]
Ulrike Theusner | Passagiere der Nacht | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin | 11.09.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4796ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin shows from Thursday, 11. September 2025 the exhibition “Passagiere der Nacht” by the artist Ulrike Theusner. It felt kind of warm, eternal. There shall be what we were for others. Smatterings, fragments of us that perhaps they thought they glimpsed. There shall be dreams of us that they nurtured. And we were never the same. Each time, we were magnificent strangers, passengers of the night that they invented, like fragile shadows in old, long-forgotten bedroom mirrors. From The Passengers of the Night, a film by Mikhaël Hers (France, 2022) I was inspired by Mikhaël Hers’ film The Passengers of the Night, set in 1980s Paris – a film about the power and importance of relationships. It was not so much the film’s topic – the story of 50-year-old Elisabeth, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg, who finds her way back from her state of desperate instability to optimism and courage – but more its melancholy, its fragmented narrative style, the unspoken words in between dialogues, hovering over the images, rendering everything in a sensitive, delicate lightness, as expressed so poetically in the short final monologue. Opening: Thursday, 11. September 2025, 6 – 10 pm. Exhibition dates: […]
Sascha Weidner | MEHR LICHT | Dorothée Nilsson Gallery | 06.09.–14.09.2025
until 14.09. | #4795ARTatBerlin | Dorothée Nilsson Gallery shows from Saturday, 6 September 2025 the solo exhibition “MEHR LICHT” by the artist Sascha Weidner, marking the tenth anniversary of his passing. “MEHR LICHT” presents Sascha Weidner’s poetic and emotionally charged visual worlds. His works create a subjective, radical reality shaped by perception, longing, and coded symbolism. Faces under hoods, androgynous bodies, and energetic hands appear in images bridging sky, water, earth, forest, and stone. Weidner combined works from different series and formats in non-linear, asymmetric arrangements that covered entire walls. Sascha Weidner, Mehr Licht II, 2009, 120 x 120 cm Individual, seemingly unrelated images merged into a larger narrative, inviting viewers to form their own associations. The exhibition coincides with the release of “Estate und Künstlernachlass” by Ole Truderung, the Sascha Weidner Estate, and Inka Schube, curator of photography at Sprengel Museum Hanover.

Andrew Moncrief | Bardo | DUVE BERLIN | 10.09.-31.10.2025
until 31.10. | #4794 ARTatBerlin | DUVE BERLIN presents from 10. September 2025 the exhibition „Bardo“ by the artist Andrew Moncrief. Andrew Moncrief’s recent body of work represents a distinct evolution in his artistic journey, marked by a shift toward a deeper exploration of formal abstraction and the limits of perception and embodiment. Anchored in his studies of quantum physics, non-western modes of spirituality and the experiential, his paintings reflect a dynamic sense of bodily unrest, a gesturing outside of the two-dimensional plane and the canvas itself. These works engage with key compositional techniques such as sacred geometry and rabatment which helps to guide the viewer’s perception and understanding of the space within the frame. In his most recent iteration of this body of work and new painting made for this exhibition, Moncrief turned his attention on the body itself. While elements of abstraction play an important part of the pictorial plane, it is the body that carries the weight of transformation. His paintings push physical and metaphysical boundaries, urging us to look beyond the surface of representation and to reconsider what lies unseen or outside of our known modes of looking. There is a compelling tension between two-dimensionality and […]
Heike Jeschonnek + Lothar Seruset | Zeichnungen in Wachs / Holzskulpturen + Keramiken | Galerie Tammen | 06.09.–11.10.2025
until 11.10. | #4792ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tammen shows from Saturday, 6 September 2025 the exhibition “Zeichnungen in Wachs / Holzskulpturen + Keramiken” with the artists Heike Jeschonnek and Lothar Seruset. In this exhibition, artists Heike Jeschonnek and Lothar Seruset present different approaches to their work in a joint dialogue. Jeschonnek works with paraffin drawings on cardboard, which, with their fine lines and colour accents, transform floral motifs such as bees on hydrangeas 3 or peonies into a fragile, almost translucent visual language. Lothar Seruset „ es ist alles“, 2023,Keramik, Metall, 105 x 44 x 70 cm (Foto: Leo Seidel) Lothar Seruset, on the other hand, develops his formal language in wood, ceramics and metal. Works such as Im Eis III (In Ice III, 2025, wood, painted for bronze) or es ist alles (it is everything, 2023, ceramics, metal) reveal a sculptural exploration of materiality, volume and balance. Die Eröffnung wird durch eine Einführung des Kurators Christoph Tannert begleitet.

Elvira Bach | So rot, so rot | Galerie Friese | 12.09.–08.11.2025 – extended until 15.11.2025
until 15.11. | #4793ARTatBerlin | Galerie Friese shows from 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition So rot, so rot by the artist Elvira Bach. Elvira Bach became world famous at the latest with her participation in documenta 7 in 1982. With unmistakable expressiveness, striking colours and subtle humour, she placed the diverse identities of women at the centre of her art in her self-portraits and portraits of women. The artist has lived and worked in Berlin since 1972. She studied at the Berlin University of the Arts under Hann Trier, worked part-time as a prop master at the Schaubühne theatre and consistently pursued her work as a maverick. The Friese Gallery is showing Elvira Bach’s work for the first time, focusing on her early works from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by a group of new ceramics created especially for this exhibition in the summer of 2025. They testify to Elvira Bach’s inexhaustible creativity, her ability to lend her own signature to the things around her and to find an expression for the joy of existence. Opening: Thursday, 11. September 2025, 6:00–10:00 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 12. September to Saturday, 8. November 2025 – ATTENTION: extended until Saturday, 15. […]
Nina Maron | La Divina – die Wienerin | Raab Galerie and JR Gallery | 13.09.-11.10.2025
until 11.10. | #4791ARTatBerlin | Raab and JR Galleries present from 13. September 2025 (Opening: 12.09.) the exhibition La Divina – die Wienerin by the artist Nina Maron. The image of the emancipated Viennese woman is vividly in our minds from the Secession and the 1920s. At that time, Gustav Klimt painted young, beautiful women from his circle; many of his paintings are than, for a short time, in the homes of modern Viennese families whose fates were soon dramatically to change existentially for the worse. Unlike painting his model, Klimt is interested in the self-confidence of the Viennese women, their sure taste in clothing, jewelry, accessories, and in their dealings with intellectuals who adorn themselves with their quick wit and beauty. Through Gustav Klimt’s unusual painting, which combines modern with classical – just take the golden background, which stands for eternity in medieval painting – his works have found their way into the realm of high art, thanks in part to his eccentric models. One hundred years later, the Viennese artist Nina Marons role model was a Viennese artist, Maria Lassnig. With this example and after a strenuous apprenticeship with Adolf Frohner, the young Viennese artist became a respected […]
Christian Schiebe | leichtes Abweichen | Galerie Inga Kondeyne | 05.09.–18.10.2025
until 18.10. | #4790ARTatBerlin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne shows from Friday, 5 September 2025 in the backstage of the gallery the exhibition “leichtes Abweichen” by the artist Christian Schiebe. The exhibition “leichtes Abweichen” presents small-scale ink drawings by Christian Schiebe, mounted on primed papers, films, or common stationery materials. The works function as loose components for spatial arrangements and are positioned in relation to surfaces, inventory, structural conditions, light, and shadow. By hanging, laying, or sticking them, the drawings interact playfully with elements such as skirting boards, light switches, or ventilation grilles, while remaining autonomous and emitting their own drawing light. Schiebe works in a process-oriented manner: repetition, variation, and correction result in a few peculiar exceptions from hundreds of attempts, which are assembled into groups over months and prepared for their optimal placement in the space. Thematically, the drawings address becoming, the not-yet, or no-longer, creating a suspension between appearance and disappearance. The presentation explores the relationship between space, material, and line in an improvised rhythm of slight deviations. Christian Schiebe, born 1985 in Neubrandenburg, lives and works in Berlin; master student with Prof. Nanne Meyer at Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin; numerous exhibitions and scholarships including Kunstfonds Bonn, […]
Jeanne Fredac | Farben des Angeborenen und Nuancen des Gelernten | Galerie Sievi | 06.09.-25.10.2025
bis 25.10. | #4789ARTatBerlin | Galerie Sievi presents from 6. September 2025 the exhibition Farben des Angeborenen und Nuancen des Gelernten (> Colours of the innate and nuances of the learned) with works by the artist Jeanne Fredac (1970-2025). Jeanne Fredac was a French multidisciplinary artist who lived in Berlin since the mid-2000s. Her explorations of architecture, urbanism and the passage of time led her to a comprehensive reflection on our environment. Jeanne Fredac’s art actively addressed contemporary issues and emphasised the urgency of redefining our perception of ourselves and nature. She explored a representation of humans and nature that expressed both their deep connection and their inherent opposition. She wanted to rethink the dynamics between the innate and the learned. It was the constant search for balance and universality that guided her work and imbued her art with an emancipatory social function. These works built a bridge between art and science, between reality and perception, between figuration and abstraction, between nature and culture. In recent years, Jeanne Fredac had participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the European Month of Photography 2014 and 2018 (Berlin, DE), the Biennale de Cachan 2021 (FR), in Prague (CZ) with the NSPU […]

Grace Weaver | Mothers | Galerie Max Hetzler | 11.09.-28.11.2025
until 29.11. | #4787ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler (Goethestraße 2/3) shows from 11. September 2025 the exhibition “Mothers” by the artist Grace Weaver. In her latest series, Grace Weaver turns to archetypal motifs, including the mother and child, and the female nude. For Weaver, the body is not just a subject but a site – a stage on which line is choreographed in lyrical gestures, and through which emotion comes to the fore. Despite their monumental scale, Weaver’s new works disclose humble subjects and tender sentiments. Across a series of large square-format canvases, Weaver’s mothers pose in enveloping embraces: swaying, kneeling, or cradling children in their laps. Alongside these, several paintings feature solitary female figures in bowing stances reminiscent of Eve or Aphrodite, attempting to shield their nude bodies from the viewer’s gaze. By contrast, the mother and child paintings propose a triangularity of gazes: at times either mother or child stares outward, at others they remain locked in one another’s gaze. Elongated, curving necks recall the postures of Weaver’s Flowers series (2024). As in this earlier body of work, Weaver’s central motif is recognisable, and yet drifts towards abstraction; limbs taper into space, and abbreviated lines merely suggest garments or contours. Whether […]
Katharina Grosse | HIGH NOON LUMEN | Galerie Max Hetzler | 11.09.-01.11.2025
until 11.09. | #4786ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler (Bleibtreustraße 45) presents from 11. September 2025 the exhibition HIGH NOON LUMEN by the artist Katharina Grosse. This exhibition, HIGH NOON LUMEN, a series of new paintings by renowned artist Katharina Grosse, follows a remarkable run of acclaimed solo presentations of Grosse’s work in 2025: the Art Basel Messeplatz commission, her largest project to date, which powerfully united structures and objects in a single painted image; the first exhibition of her early sculptural work, at Staatsgalerie Stuttgart; and her current show at Deichtorhallen Hamburg, which envelops the spectator in an expansive painting that embraces the specific architecture of the site. Widely known for her spectacular, immersive paintings in which explosive colour is sprayed directly onto buildings, interiors, landscapes and canvas, Grosse paints across different scales, surfaces and dimensions, disrupting our habitual way of ordering the world. Her paintings extend the visceral possibilities of the medium and reflect an ongoing exploration of colour, the body and perception in space. The use of a spray gun allows riotous colour to land clean on the surface and for the artist to scale her reach, responding reflexively to events and ideas that arise as she works. For […]
Hans Josephsohn and Günther Förg | Dialogue | Galerie Max Hetzler | 05.09.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4784ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler (Potsdamer Straße 77-87) shows from Friday, 5. September 2025 the duo exhibition “Dialogue” by the artists Josephsohn and Günther Förg. In this first joint exhibition of the two artists Hans Josephsohn and Günther Förg, sculptures by Josephsohn with their tactile surfaces are juxtaposed with Förg’s grid paintings from the 1990s. Reliefs by both artists from different decades are on display on the upper floor of the gallery. Hans Josephsohn and Günther Förg came from different generations and only met a few times, but from the late 1990s onwards, Förg was familiar with Josephsohn’s sculptures. Following his usual practice, he studied his fellow artist’s work and was especially fascinated by its materiality. Through Förg’s advocacy, Rudi Fuchs, then director of the Stedelijk Museum, became aware of the sculptor’s work, which led to Josephsohn’s solo exhibition in Amsterdam in 2002. In contrast to Förg’s keen interest in his contemporaries, Josephsohn was more solitary in his working habits. His work is characterised by a fascination with mass and forms in space, which he repeatedly recalibrated using specific and recurring shapes over the course of six decades of his career as a sculptor. Since the 1950s, the artist sought to […]
Ondrej Drescher | GAZA, again | Verena Kerfin Gallery | 12.09.–24.10.2025
until 24.10. | #4782ARTatBerlin | Verena Kerfin Gallery shows from Friday, 12 September 2025 the solo exhibition “GAZA, again” by the artist Ondrej Drescher. Gaza – Art as Butterfly Research In the self-conception of most contemporary artists, art has no essential relation to reality—let alone to the task Heiner Müller assigned to it: to make reality “impossible.” Müller did not wish to ignore reality, nor to beautify it, but to intervene deliberately in its ideological construction. To “make reality impossible” means to interrupt, distort, and confront it so profoundly that its supposed naturalness breaks apart—wresting it from the grip of dominant orders by rendering its prevailing images and narratives unusable for their original political ends. That is the essence of Müller’s concept of resistance: art must never collaborate with power; it must disrupt language and sabotage authority. Today, however, many insiders are content with far lesser ambitions. They pontificate in detached clichés about their own economic relevance, call themselves Berlin’s “lifespenders,” and define their role, in all seriousness, as butterfly researchers of ideas: “It’s more like artists are blind butterfly researchers: they capture ideas that no one has yet been able to name.” Which ideas those might be, they of […]
Samira Freitag | ÉCORCHÉ_AQUAE | Galerie feinart berlin | 11.09.-04.10.2025
until 04.10. | #4780ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin presents from 11. September 2025 the exhibition “ÉCORCHÉ_AQUAE” by the artist Samira Freitag. Samira Freitag designs a comprehensive multimedia concept addressing questions of body, identity, role models and transformation. Under the title Écorché, Samira Freitag summarises her years of exploration of questions about the body, identity, role models and transformation in a multimedia concept, which she addresses in mise-en-scène of her own body inspired by ancient mythology and symbolic history. Her approach is bold, aggressive, a devotion to herself as a creative medium. Écorché, Latin for „skinning“, is the guiding motif. In 2025, the new focus is on water as an element and experience. Samira Freitag, „Sunbathe“, 2024, acrylic, oil, water colour, oil pastels, pigments on canvas, 140 x 140cm ©S.Freitag By incorporating the initial Häutungspuppen-Installation (skinning doll installation), Samira Freitag’s thesis project at the Berlin University of the Arts, which was nominated for the 2017 President’s Prize, the exhibition formulates a conclusion to nearly nine years of her artistic work. In casts, disguises and exposures of her own body, the artist questions gender identities, traditional role models and the idea of emancipation from a female perspective — between reactivation and reinterpretation.

Andrea Zittel | Public Performance of the Self | Sprüth Magers Berlin | 12.09.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4783ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin shows from 11. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09) the exhibition “Public Performance of the Self” by the artist Andrea Zittel. Since the early 1990s, Andrea Zittel has used the arena of day-to-day life to develop and test prototypes for living structures and situations in order to understand the world at large. Zittel’s latest project, The Public Performance of the Self, hinges on the dual meaning of the term ‘to perform’, which signifies both to conduct an action and to present oneself to an audience. Zittel ‘performs herself’, participating in the various activities of everyday life in the public realm while documenting with a phone camera and written reports. With subtle dry humour, Zittel touches on both personal and universal themes – mental well-being, social roles, online culture, and her own art-making – engaging with the enduring question of how we craft and present ourselves to others. Opening: Thursday, 11. September 2025, 6 – 10 pm. Exhibition dates: Friday, 12. September – Saturday, 25.

Henni Alftan | By the Skin of My Teeth | Sprüth Magers Berlin | 12.09.-25.10.2025
until 25.10. | #4781ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin shows from 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition “By the Skin of My Teeth” by the artist Henni Alftan. Henni Alftan’s artistic practice is grounded in a profound exploration of the medium of painting, examining its methods and histories. Her intimately familiar yet intriguingly enigmatic portrayals of everyday life arise from a process of observation and deduction, resulting in precise and carefully cropped figurative works that embody a studied economy of means. By skillfully employing scale, perspective and texture, Alftan reveals the strangeness of the ordinary. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present a solo show during Berlin Art Week, featuring all-new paintings and the artist’s first-ever presentation of drawings. Opening: Thursday, 11. September 2025, 6 – 10 pm. Exhibition dates: Friday, 12. September – Saturday, 25. October 2025 Title image caption: Henni Alftan, Haircut, 2024, Courtesy the artist, Sprüth Magers and Karma.

Ernesto Tatafiore | Solo-exhibition | Galerie Dittmar | 10.09.-01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4779ARTatBerlin | Galerie Dittmar shows from Wednesday, 10. September 2025 a Solo-exhibition by the artist Ernesto Tatafiore. Ernesto Tatafiore was born in Naples in 1943. He took part in the 1970 Venice Biennale, again in 1980 and 1990, and has worked closely with Jannis Kounellis since 1971. From 1975, repeated exhibitions at Lucio Amelio, one of the leading international avant-garde galleries of the time. Among others, 1981 exhibition there with Joseph Beuys, Tony Cragg, Mimmo Paladino, David Salle; 1984 (in the Villa Campolieto) with Richard Long, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol. In addition, further early groundbreaking gallery exhibitions, for example at isy Brachot Paris, An-dré Emmerich New York, Lisson Gallery London, Paul Maenz Köl. Tatafiore distanced himself from the Italian Arte Povera and Transavanguardia movements, with which he initially had points of contact. He developed his forms of expression early on, working with different techniques and materials, the combination of painting and drawing, collage and object-like sculptures, the subversive approach. The theme of the French Revolution is essential, which for the artist “represents a kind of ‘great metaphor’” (Jean-Christophe Ammann) and expands into a comprehensive view of history as allegory.

September 2025 die Gruppenausstellung “Artist of Our Time”. ‘Artists of Our Time’ questions the art world’s common orientation towards retrospectives and posthumous recognition.

Helga Schmidhuber | Morpheus Mango Mau | AOA;87 contemporary | 11.09.–01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4778ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 contemporary shows from Friday, 12 September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the solo exhibition “Morpheus Mango Mau” by the artist Helga Schmidhuber. As part of the exhibition, a talk with journalist, biologist, and philosopher Cord Riechelmann will take place on Sunday, 14 September 2025, at 10:30 am. Helga Schmidhuber’s paintings move between myth, dream, and organic materiality. Her images open fragmentary landscapes in which meanings shimmer, horizons dissolve, and instinct overlays logic. Helga Schmidhuber, Untitled, No 10 from Krähen kommen -Titanweiß series, 2008, Mixed media on hand-made paper, 105 x 105 cm At the center of her artistic practice is transformation: the dissolution of boundaries, the visualization of transitions, and the tracing of archaic energies—not as a return to the past, but as a radical experience of the present. Her working method is processual, experimental, and sensually imbued, carried by a synesthetic perception and a fascination for biodiversity and natural forms. Helga Schmidhuber, Untitled, from Morpheus series , 2024, Mixed media & applications on canvas, 220 × 190 cm In her current cycle Morpheus, predators, birds, and traces of micro-life meet in paradoxical, peaceful coexistence.

Christoph Bartolmäs & Axel Bunt | Dienst ist Dienst und Schnaps ist Schnaps | Galerie Z22 | 06.09.-04.10.2025
{Play}until 04.10. | #4823ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 shows from 06. September 2025 the Duo-exhibition “Dienst ist Dienst und Schnaps ist Schnaps” by the artists Christoph Bartolmäs and Axel Bunt. The German view of life is often characterised by the separation of seriousness and fun, which is expressed by the saying “Dienst ist Dienst und Schnaps ist Schnaps”. Many terms come into play here that reflect our culture and our view of work. Phenomena such as duty fulfilment, civil service law and duty rosters are not just bureaucratic side effects, but also expressions of a deeply rooted work ethic and loyalty to the employer. At the company party, the focus is on informal socialising; people also want to get a little closer to each other in private. But anyone who goes too far overboard here (looks too deeply into the glass) can damage their own career. This is hinted at in the painting “oder flirten auf der Betriebsfeier” by Christoph Bartolmäs. People are drinking and engaged in dialogue, one man seems to be pondering a little indecisively. The title hints at the nature of his thoughts, perhaps he could do the same as the colleague to his left and get to know […]
Simone Lucas | All is still possible | Galerie Martin Mertens | 06.09.–25.10.2025 – extended until 15.11.2025
until 15.11. | #4776ARTatBerlin | Galerie Martin Mertens shows from Saturday, 6 September 2025 the exhibition “All is still possible” by the artist Simone Lucas. The exhibition title All is still possible directly reflects the core themes of Simone Lucas (*1973, Düsseldorf). Her pictorial worlds open up vast spaces for interpretation: they may evoke dream sequences, memories, desires, ideas, or even fears. Her paintings manifest a process of becoming visible, allowing viewers to follow the unfolding of a narrative and to participate in the artistic act. The accidental and the ephemeral are given ample space. As in earlier series, the scenes remain enigmatic, suspended in a state of uncertainty. Many works in this exhibition feature hybrid creatures between human and animal. These figures allude not only to art historical and mythological traditions but also to the close interrelation between humans and nature. One painting, in which a woman’s head is replaced by that of a frog, is aptly titled Mother Nature. It symbolizes the delicate balance of nature itself, increasingly threatened by human activity. Especially in light of current reactionary political developments that prioritize selfishness and the rule of the stronger over responsibility and harmony, the suggestion of unity between […]

Thilo Heinzmann | Solo-exhibition | neugerriemschneider | 12.09.-04.10.2025
until 04.10. | #4773ARTatBerlin | neugerriemschneider (Linienstrasse) shows from 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) a Solo-exhibition by the artist Thilo Heinzmann. Thilo Heinzmann’s third solo exhibition at neugerriemschneider combines selected works from various series of the artist’s oeuvre, thus following on from their dialogue-based juxtaposition in his new monograph and offering a pointed insight into his work. Both the book and the presentation demonstrate Heinzmann’s analytical approach to painting in their conceptual density. By using materials that are supposedly foreign to the medium – including polystyrene, chipboard, aluminium, glass splinters and grains of sand – he examines its fundamentals, expands it with new object-based and technical possibilities and makes the artistic process visible in dynamic compositions whose visual reception evokes haptic sensations. In Heinzmann’s works, form, scale, surface, colour and light do not serve as classical means of finding an image, but are the elementary components of the composition in their specific characteristics. The artist combines irregular polystyrene panels with crystalline glass fragments and thin shards that cast coloured shadows on and next to the white surfaces. He breaks the edges of the pressboard by hand, revealing the chaotic inner structure of the material. He pours, drips and paints glossy […]
Michel Majerus | Noch ein bild | neugerriemschneider | 12.09.-18.10.2025
until 18.10. | #4772ARTatBerlin | neugerriemschneider (Linienstrasse) shows from 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition “Noch ein bild” by the artist Michel Majerus. The eleventh solo exhibition of works by Michel Majerus at neugerriemschneider, noch ein bild, focuses on the artist’s early work and presents a group of small-format paintings from his late student years, some of which are being shown for the first time since their creation. With the carefree expansion of the traditional medium of oil on wood through acrylic colours, unconventional picture supports such as chipboard or plywood, pop-cultural motifs and serial principles, they anticipate central elements of his late practice. The comic-like figures, picture-filling logos, abstract compositions based on repetition and grids and surreal figurative scenes create a whole in the exhibition context that forms the basis for Majerus’ spatial treatment of painting. They testify to a freedom in the selection, combination and installation of images that allowed the artist to create a body of work over the following ten years that anticipates the simultaneity of today’s visual culture.

Rick Castro | Baal. Retrospective 1986–2025 | Semjon Contemporary | 05.09.–04.10.2025
until 04.10. | #4771ARTatBerlin | Semjon Contemporary shows from Friday, 5 September 2025 (Opening: 04.09.) the exhibition “Baal. Retrospective 1986–2025” by the artist Rick Castro. Rick Castro (*1958, Los Angeles) is considered one of the foremost chroniclers of a subcultural aesthetic intertwining fashion, sexuality, and photography. With the retrospective Baal. Retrospective 1986–2025, Semjon Contemporary presents for the first time in Berlin a comprehensive survey of Castro’s oeuvre spanning nearly four decades. The exhibition brings together iconic works alongside recent pieces, including the new series The Gates of Hell (2025). Castro’s images move between intimacy and staging, documenting queer subcultures while exploring dynamics of power and desire through photography. Curated in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition underscores his lasting influence on contemporary visual culture since the 1980s. Opening: Thursday, 4 September 2025, 7:00–9:30 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 5 September – Saturday, 4 October 2025 Artist Talk: Tuesday, 9 September 2025, 7 p.m. | Rick Castro in conversation with Nadine Dinter Image caption title: Rick Castro, Baal, 2024, Archival digital print, 27,9 × 20,3 cm.

Ho Tzu Nyens | 2 stories: void & times | neugerriemschneider | 12.09.2025-21.03.2026
until 21.03. | #4769ARTatBerlin | neugerriemschneider (Christinenstrasse) shows from 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition “2 stories: void & times” by the artist Ho Tzu Nyen. Ho Tzu Nyen’s first solo exhibition at neugerriemschneider, 2 stories: voids & times, presents two recent multi-sensory spatial installations by the artist in an ensemble that builds on his recent wide-ranging institutional exhibitions in Asia and Europe, focussing on his extended exploration of legends and fictions, unresolved social issues and contradictory ideals. Key to this exploration is Ho’s use of video – a medium he developed a fondness for during his formative years in Singapore – and his curious extension of this technique into the realms of new technologies. Here, with a unique combination of ambitious audiovisual environments, Ho enables the experiential embodiment of cross-cultural phenomena and perceived truths to be unravelled and reconfigured.

Sveson Jonson | The Pintography Series_02 | aquabitArt Galerie | 08.09.–14.09.2025
until 14.09. | #4770ARTatBerlin | aquabitArt Galerie shows from Monday, 8 September 2025 the exhibition “The Pintography Series_02” by the artist duo Sveson Jonson. Sveson Jonson is the Berlin-based creative duo of Johannes Hicks and Sven Schrader. Their interdisciplinary work fuses film, photography, design, collage, and text into a unique visual language. Sveson Jonson, Bries, 2025 (© Sveson Jonson / Courtesy aquabitArt) Since 2020, they have pursued The Pintography Project, a series of collage artworks combining photography with 3D pin art. This distinctive aesthetic has been exhibited in Berlin and Paris, attracting international attention. Sveson Jonson, Eule, 2025 (© Sveson Jonson / Courtesy aquabitArt) With The Pintography Series_02, aquabitArt presents a continuation of this project, inviting audiences to explore new perspectives on the relationship between digital processes and handmade collage in contemporary art.

Sue Hayward | Kindred Spirits | Galerie Schindler | 06.09.–11.10.2025
until 11.10. | #4767ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler shows from Saturday, 6 September 2025 the exhibition “Kindred Spirits” by the artist Sue Hayward. Sue Hayward’s exhibition Kindred Spirits opens up a multi-layered visual cosmos in which the connection between humans, animals, and nature is as much a theme as the dissolution of supposed boundaries. The title refers to the idea of an emotional closeness that extends beyond the visible. Sue Hayward, The Messengers, Öl, Wachs, Dammar und Acryl auf Gaze, Holz und Leinwand, 80 x 160 cm, 2025 By layering gauze, wax, and pigment, Hayward creates translucent surfaces that capture, filter, and reflect light. This interplay of coverage and permeability forms pictorial spaces that guide and withdraw the gaze—spaces that are “larger than the material itself,” according to the artist. Oben Sue Hayward, Floral, Öl, Wachs, Dammar und Acryl auf Gaze, Holz und Leinwand, 60 x 60 cm, 2025 Her works oscillate between figuration and symbolic condensation. Birds, sea creatures, and reptiles appear as mediators between times, continents, and spheres, symbolizing the ability to overcome boundaries and preserve fleeting moments. With Kindred Spirits, Hayward presents works that move between sensuality and reflection, opening spaces of resonance where the supposedly separate is […]
Okka-Esther Hungerbühler | Creature | Haverkampf Leistenschneider | 05.09. – 11.10.2025
until 11.10. | #4768ARTatBerlin | Haverkampf Leistenschneider shows from Friday, 5. September the exhibition “Creature” by the artist Okka-Esther Hungerbühler. Okka-Esther Hungerbühler’s works could not be more timeless: social interactions, human emotions and the roles we play in family and society are reflected in her paintings, sculptures and installations. Her fairytale-like sculptures are created from wrapping paper, adhesive tape, feathers, toys and other found materials. Seemingly fallen out of time, they are rearranged into thoughtful compositions. The exhibition “Creature” will feature new works by the artist, which will incorporate the gallery spaces into the presentation in a site-specific installation. About Okka-Esther Hungerbühler Okka-Esther Hungerbühler was born in Bonn in 1988 and lives and works in Berlin. She studied at the Berlin University of the Arts and at the Cooper Union in New York and graduated in 2016 as a master student in the class of Thomas Zipp. In 2025, she was nominated for the Swiss Art Awards and received an ISCP Scholarship in New York in 2023. In 2017, she received the Villa Concordia working scholarship in Bamberg and was awarded the Berlin Art Prize in 2014. Opening: Friday, 05. September 2025, 6 – 8 pm. Exhibition dates: Friday, 05. September – Saturday, 11. […]
Beat Zoderer | Konkrete Aquarelle | Taubert Contemporary | 10.09.-01.1.2025
until 01.11. | #4766ARTatBerlin | Taubert Contemporary shows from Wednesday, 10. September 2025 the exhibition “Konkrete Aquarelle” by the artist Beat Zoderer. Beat Zoderer has only been devoting himself to classical painting for a few years. For his latest works, the artist uses acrylic paint on MDF boards or cardboard in varying formats. Multicolored, rectangular surfaces, grids, and patterns overlap, shift in front of, behind, and on top of each other in these paintings. The transparency of the colors, used in a film-like manner, allows the overlapping fields to appear in mixed tones. Small squares of uniform size, black, white, or mixed colors, give this richness of color a structure that helps to explore the front and back, the depth of the space that is created. Beat Zoderer is rooted in concrete, not abstract but fundamentally abstract art; the visual exploration of spatiality is one of his main interests. Beat Zoderer, three layered concrete watercolor, acrylic on MDF, framed | 102 x 102 cm | 40.2 x 40.2 inch | 3.3 x 3.3 ft The use of water-soluble and therefore transparent acrylic paint led to the title of the new group of works: “Concrete Watercolors.” In analogy to the Japanese, […]
Mette Homar | AHL | REITER | 11.09.-01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4765ARTatBerlin | REITER shows from , 11. September 2025 die Ausstellung “AHL” der Künstlerin Mette Homar. For her new exhibition at REITER, Danish artist Mette Homar has created a series of new works inspired by her close connection to the landscape of Ahl – a coastal strip on the Djursland peninsula in East Jutland. Over the past eight years, this place has become an anchor point in Homar’s artistic practice. She returns there again and again to walk its paths, photograph the changing light and terrain and translate these encounters into dynamic painterly compositions. This ongoing dialogue with Ahl has gradually shaped her work, incorporating fragments of the seascape, trees and coastline into her previously more abstract imagery. With the introduction of these natural elements, Homar’s connection to the land deepened. Ahl has become a place of belonging for her – an adopted home that continues to nourish her artistic work. Mette Homar, 2025 04, Ölkreide auf Papier, 194 x 131 cm About Mette Homar Mette Homar was born in Funen, Denmark, in 1974. Her career is as multi-faceted as her work: She first studied ceramics at the Kolding Design School in Denmark and later moved to […]
Minh Dung Vu | Silky Way | Galerie kajetan Berlin | 13.09.–29.11.2025
until 29.11. | #4764ARTatBerlin | Galerie kajetan Berlin shows from Saturday, 13. September 2025 (Opening: 12.09.) the exhibition “Silky Way” by the artist Minh Dung Vu. The kajetan gallery is delighted to present Silky Way, the first solo exhibition by Munich-based artist Minh Dung Vu (born 1995). In addition to two smaller works on paper, the exhibition features new large-format textile works in which Vu sews shiny silk characterised by gentle colour gradients onto untreated matt linen fabric, thus connecting it to the image carrier. In doing so, the artist shifts the boundaries between painting, collage and object and expands the classical understanding of the image to include a consistently material-based dimension. His works revolve around questions of cultural belonging, identity and memory and are characterised by a subtle yet precisely controlled materiality and a strong spatial presence. Exhibition view Silky Way, Minh Dung Vu, Ohne Titel, 2023, Sewn linen and fabric, 41 x 51 cm, Courtesy of Galerie Kajetan, Photo: Gunter Lepkowski Vu’s artistic process begins with the selection and processing of individual lengths of fabric, whose inherent behaviour he consciously incorporates into the creative process. The fabric reacts to tension, seams and folds, absorbing or rejecting colour, changing its […]
Käthe Kruse | nähen nähen nähen | ZWINGER Galerie | 06.09.–01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4763ARTatBerlin | ZWINGER Galerie shows from Saturday, 6 September 2025 (Opening: 05.09.) the exhibition “nähen nähen nähen” by the artist Käthe Kruse. Käthe Kruse does not draw—she sews. In a focused, time-intensive process, the artist places stitch next to stitch with the sewing machine, densely layered from top to bottom. Her sewn drawings, known among others from 48 Farben (2021–22), unfold a diagrammatic linearity reminiscent of script or musical score. For the new series presented at ZWINGER Galerie, photocopies of memory photographs from Pompeii serve as the starting material. Dense overlays of polyester thread shift and veil the motifs—as if seen behind a curtain. Central to Kruse’s practice are a calculated susceptibility to error and irregularity and her insistence on hand production. In this exhibition, production becomes performance: on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 2:00–6:00 pm, the artist sews in the gallery—a permanent gesture between making and performing. Production becomes exhibition: during opening hours, the artist sews at the machine—a permanent performance. Opening: Friday, 5 September 2025, 6:00–9:00 pm Exhibition dates: Saturday, 6 September – Saturday, 1 November 2025 Performance:Thursday, Friday & Saturday, 2:00–6:00 pm – “Käthe Kruse sews” Image caption title: © Käthe Kruse / […]
Caroline Kryzecki | (Non)sense | Sexauer Gallery | 06.09.-18.10.2025
until 18.10. | #4761ARTatBerlin | Sexauer Gallery shows from 06. September 2025 (Opening: 05.09.) the exhibition “(Non)sense” by the artist Caroline Kryzecki. Caroline Kryzecki shows paintings on paper. Using the tip of a brush, she paints and dabs thousands of semi-circular shapes into a grid with gouache and watercolour. By changing the size and orientation of the shapes, as well as the different tones and the modu-lation of transparency and opacity, she creates works of great variety despite always using the same approach. The spectrum ranges from very austere to almost psychedelic. In the current exhibition, the almost sixty thousand grid fields of the small works and the over three hundred thousand fields of the large works offer unlimited possibilities for variation. Caroline exhibits (non)sense paintings. At the beginning of her career, she first became known for her ballpoint pen drawings with thousands of lines. Years later, she developed her grid paintings from these drawings. Using the tip of a brush, she painted and dabbed thousands of small semicircular shapes with gouache and watercolour into a grid. The grid paper was produced for her by the Handsiebdruckerei in Berlin according to her specifications. Kryzecki had conducted her first experiments on […]
Daniel Josefsohn | Unseen | Crone Berlin | 12.09.-08.11.2025 – extended until 13.12.2025
until 29.11. | #4762ARTatBerlin | Crone Berlin shows from 12. September 2025 (Vernissage 11.09.) the exhibition Unseen by the artist Daniel Josefsohn. Crone Berlin invites you to the opening of their Berlin Art Week with the exhibition Unseen, featuring works by photographer Daniel Josefsohn who has shaped the visual identity of Generation X and the Berlin scene of the 1990s and 2000s like few others. For the first time since his death in 2016, Crone Berlin is showing a comprehensive selection of previously unpublished photographs from his estate, curated by Ingo Taubhorn, longtime head of the House of Photography at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg. To Die Zeit, Josefsohn was “the greatest and most brilliant punk in the world of photography.” The Süddeutsche Zeitung called him “a berserker with a camera, speeding in the fast lane of the image flood highway.” Josefsohn first rose to fame in the early 1990s with his legendary MTV campaign Miststück (Bitch). Later, he developed a strikingly, disturbing, humorous visual language through his posters for Berlin’s Volksbühne theater and his photo series for Tempo, Jetzt Magazin, SZ-Magazin, and Zeit Magazin: direct, immediate, uninhibited—always observing from a distance, yet constantly ready to intervene in the scene and never leaving chance entirely up to chance. When Josefsohn […]
Peter Bömmels | Gänge geh’n noch – Neue Bilder | Galerie Michael Haas | 12.09.–31.10.2025
until 31.10. | #4760ARTatBerlin | Galerie Michael Haas shows from Friday, 12 September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition “Gänge geh’n noch – Neue Bilder” by the artist Peter Bömmels. Peter Bömmels (born 1951) creates works using acrylic and polymer clay, mixed media with human hair, and marble sculptures. Yet painting has always been at the core of his practice. Since his beginnings with the Cologne artist group Mülheimer Freiheit, the self-taught artist has remained faithful to a carefree, trivial aesthetic. In his unique visual language – reduced to essential elements, yet open and ambiguous – figures and hybrid creatures populate surreal spaces. His paintings reflect both the absurdity of everyday life and mythical dimensions drawn from fairy tales, memories, and the “eternal cycle.” After the thought-laden years of minimalism and conceptual art, his humour still resonates as a liberating gesture. Peter Bömmels in seinem Atelier, 2025 The exhibition Gänge geh’n noch presents a selection of new paintings. The artist will be present at the opening, and a catalogue will accompany the show. Opening and Gallery Night: Thursday, 11 September 2025, 6:00–10:00 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 12 September – Friday, 31 October 2025 Special opening hours (Berlin Art Week): Saturday & […]
Matias Bechtold | Berufsverkehr (Rush Hour) | Laura Mars Gallery | 23.08.–20.09.2025
until 20.09. | #4759ARTatBerlin | Laura Mars Gallery shows from Friday, 23 August 2025 (Opening: 22.08.) the exhibition “Berufsverkehr (Rush Hour)” by the artist Matias Bechtold. Matias Bechtold’s distinctive gaze on our world is essentially defined by shifts in scale. The urban topographies staged in his models offer two perspectives: one can perceive them as sculptural bodies, soaring above urban canyons at a dizzying height, only to imagine oneself a moment later inhabiting the miniature structures. For his most recent work Berufsverkehr (Rush Hour), he chose the world-famous archaeological site Machu Picchu as his point of departure, overloading it down to the last millimetre with the teeming traffic of a hyper-dense megacity. The work reveals unfamiliar perspectives on urban complexity and the relationship between architecture, space, and human activity. Opening: Friday, 22 August 2025, 7:00 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 23 August – Saturday, 20 September 2025 Image caption tilte: Matias Bechtold, Berufsverkehr / Macchu Picchu, 2024/2025 (Detail).

Lee Bae | Syzygy | Esther Schipper | 11.09.–18.10.2025
until 18.10. | #4758ARTatBerlin | Galerie Esther Schipper shows from Thursday, 11 September 2025, the exhibition „Syzygy“ by the artist Lee Bae. Lee Bae is renowned for his striking use of charcoal as his primary medium. Since the early 1990s, he has transformed the material into a versatile instrument: mosaic-like arrangements of charcoal shards, paintings and ink drawings using charcoal pigment, and sculptures reminiscent of massive logs. While charcoal was initially a pragmatic choice, it soon became a symbol of his Korean identity, deeply rooted in cultural, spiritual and historical associations. In Syzygy, Lee Bae has lined the gallery space with white paper, some of which bears broad brushstrokes executed on site. Visitors may only enter wearing shoe covers, evoking traditional Korean interiors and their attentiveness to space. The exhibition further presents monumental Brushstroke sculptures, cast in bronze, translating the fluidity of ink painting into three dimensions. A wall of his iconic Issu du feu works—constructed from carefully aligned, polished charcoal shards—creates surfaces that refract light in multiple directions, what the artist describes as “a black material that produces light.” Through contrasts of black and white, presence and absence, stillness and movement, Lee Bae seeks to create a unified experience. The […]
Shimabuku | Self Portrait | Galerie Barbara Wien | 23.08.-01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4757ARTatBerlin | Galerie Barbara Wien shows from 23. August 2025 (Vernissage: 22.08.) the exhibition “Self Portrait” by the artist Shimabuku. In Shimabuku’s third solo exhibition at Galerie Barbara Wien – titled Self Portrait and featuring works from 1991 to 2023 – we encounter an artist whose works usually arise and develop in and through interaction with other cultures and beings, human and non-human. His artistic approach is mostly characterised by straightforward and somewhat open concepts – based on elementary questions about daily habits and routines. Most of his works are accompanied by a text that introduces the viewer to the ideas behind them, typically in a succinct, concentrated form. These texts are usually displayed alongside his photographs, videos, sculptures or installations. Following his thirst for knowledge and his curiosity, Shimabuku often appears as a performer or mediator in his works, as if on stage. He remains fully present throughout the creative process, openly expressing his thoughts. In doing so, he inspires others to explore themselves and build networks with other people. Therefore, it is no surprise that he continues to engage in dialogue with artists and theorists such as Philippe Parreno, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Nicolas Bourriaud, whom […]
Marion Eichmann und Christo + Jeanne-Claude | CONNECTING BERLIN | ARTES Berlin | 12.09.–01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4755ARTatBerlin | ARTES Berlin shows from Friday, 12 September 2025, the exhibition CONNECTING BERLIN by artists Christo & Jeanne-Claude in dialogue with new works by artist Marion Eichmann. Marking the 30th anniversary of the wrapping of the Reichstag, realised by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in 1995, the show – part of Berlin Art Week – offers an artistic exploration of democracy and its visible and hidden symbols. The Reichstag wrapping was not only a milestone in art history but also a powerful symbol of new beginnings, unity, and democracy. Marion Eichmann worked in and around the Reichstag, capturing her impressions in detailed drawings. In her studio, she transformed them into intricate paper cuts and vividly coloured collages. Commissioned by the Art Advisory Board, she created over a hundred works over the course of a year, portraying the parliament from unusual perspectives – from iconic facades to hidden workspaces, machinery, signs, and devices. “CONNECTING BERLIN” brings together the historic gesture of the Reichstag wrapping with a contemporary artistic view of Germany’s political centre, inviting reflection on visibility, participation, and the power of art in an open society. As part of Berlin Art Week, a special evening will take place […]
Lotte Keijzer | Position of Being | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin | 12.09.–11.10.2025
until 11.10. | #4753ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin shows from Friday, 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the solo exhibition “Position of being” by the artist Lotte Keijzer. Bar stools, an Eames chair, a plane seat, a toilet, a potty. Position of Being, Lotte Keijzer’s first solo exhibition at Kristin Hjellegjerde, Berlin, explores what it means to take up space and how the positions that we hold, both literal and metaphorical, shape our sense of self. Each painting depicts a chair not just as a representation of a specific object or location, but as an emotional memory. These moments unfold in a vivid colour palette which feels both retro and futuristic, casting us into a space in which time collapses in on itself. In Boundless Behaviour, we stare down at the cracked, worn bar stool on which Keijzer spent much of her youth. Bluish, purple neon hues conjure a club-like atmosphere and a nineties aesthetic while the fish-eyed perspective has an uneasy, almost dizzying effect, mimicking a drunken state but also warping our understanding of space. Here, as in other paintings across the exhibition, Keijzer is looking back as an adult at a time in her life which felt like […]
Sarah Schumann | Paintings and Collages from the Years 1954 to 1982 | Meyer Riegger | 11.09.–01.11.2025
until 01.11. | #4752ARTatBerlin | Meyer Riegger Berlin shows from Thursday, 11 September 2025, the exhibition “Paintings and Collages from the Years 1954 to 1982” by the artist Sarah Schumann in collaboration with Christoph Keller. Sarah Schumann considered herself primarily a painter, yet her diverse oeuvre encompasses painting, collage, graphic art, essays, film, acting, and curating. As one of the most visible protagonists of the New Women’s Movement in the 1970s, she left a lasting impact on the cultural perception of art and feminism. In 2015, her long-time partner Silvia Bovenschen dedicated the literary portrait Sarah’s Law to her, while Harun Farocki’s 1976 film A Picture of Sarah Schumann offers a fascinating cinematic homage. Sarah Schumann, Schockcollage, ohne Titel, vor Herbst 1959, Papiercollage, 34,6 x 23,5 cm (Privatsammlung; Foto: Nicolai Stephan) The exhibition spans three decades of work, from her early experimental collages to large-scale paintings. Particularly noteworthy are her “shock collages” from the 1960s, in which she combined magazine and newspaper cut-outs to create new, often surreal visual worlds – a critical and poetic examination of visual media and societal role models. Her paintings, characterised by vibrant colours and a clear formal language, interweave personal narratives with art historical […]
Franziska Holstein | o.T. (31) | Galerie Friese | 14.08.–29.08.2025
until 29.08. | #4751ARTatBerlin | Galerie Friese shows from Thursday, 14 August 2025 (Opening: 13.08.) the solo exhibition o.T. (31) by artist Franziska Holstein. The presentation comprises a new series of 31 canvases, displayed on a single wall. Taken as a whole, the works offer both an impressive insight into Holstein’s artistic process and an extraordinary viewing experience. The series connects formally and thematically to Holstein’s previous canvases, presented in her recent solo shows at the gallery (o.T. (7), 2024) and at the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal (o.T. (20), 2023). At the beginning of her working process, Holstein arranges concrete forms and colours freely and associatively on the picture surface. Gradually, a more systematic approach emerges, which she applies consistently to all parts of the series: All motifs in the series o.T. (31) consist of 16 areas of identical surface size, divided only horizontally or vertically. In terms of colour, the canvases are limited to four tones – light blue, muted white, orange and black – which must appear in exactly this order on the image. Added to this is a strict symmetry of form and colour. Like all her series, o.T. (31) moves along the boundary between […]
Christine Schlegel | Blickbegabt | Galerie Mutare | 26.08-04.10.2025
until 04.10. | #4750ARTatBerlin | Galerie Mutare shows from Saturday, 23. August 2025, the exhibition “Blickbegabt” by the artist Christine Schlegel. About Christine Schlegel Christine Schlegel was born in Crossen near Zwickau in 1950. She moved to Dresden in 1956, where she studied painting and graphic design at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1973 to 1978 after completing an apprenticeship as a decorator and poster designer. She then worked as a freelance restorer, painter and graphic designer and experimented with film and performance. Christine Schlegel, courtesy of Galerie Mutare In 1984, she moved to East Berlin and began painting ceramics for Wilfriede Maaß’s workshop. In 1986, she left the GDR for West Berlin via the Netherlands by means of a fictitious marriage. She travelled and worked in Greece, Italy, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Scotland and Spain. Christine Schlegel, courtesy of Galerie Mutare She has lived in Dresden again since 2000. Her works have been shown at international exhibitions since 1980 and can be found in the Städtische Galerie Dresden, the Deutsches Historisches Museum Berlin and the Brandenburgisches Landesmuseum, among others.

FINE ART! | Group Exhibition | CSR.ART + Galerie Martin Mertens | 08.08.-06.09.2025
until 06.09. | #4756ARTatBerlin | CSR.ART in collaboration with Galerie Martin Mertens presents from Friday, 08. August 2025 (Opening: 07.08.) the exhibition FINE ART! by the artists Thorbjørn Bechmann, Sébastien Gaudette and Sebastian Herzau. The exhibition will be on display in the new CSR.ART exhibition space at BIKINI BERLIN. As soon as you step into the FINE ART! exhibition, you notice that something is happening here that captivates your gaze. It’s a real head-turner. At first glance, the works appear clear and easy to grasp – but linger a moment longer and they begin to reveal their second, third and fourth layers. Traditional techniques with a surprise effect Thorbjørn Bechmann, Sébastien Gaudette and Sebastian Herzau work with tried-and-tested artistic methods, but they twist them in such a way that your eye is constantly tripped up – in the best possible sense. Thorbjørn Bechmann lets pigments flow across the canvas in highly diluted oil until transparent colour spaces form, sometimes floating, sometimes flowing into one another like waves. What begins calmly can become intense. Thorbjorn Bechmann, o. T., 2021, 80 x 70 cm, courtesy of Galerie Martin Mertens Sébastien Gaudette shapes paper? No, aluminium! Objects that look like crumpled paper. Everything […]
Patrick Demarchelier | CAMERA WORK | 27.09-15.11.2025
until 15.11. | #4749ARTatBerlin | CAMERA WORK shows from 27. September 2025 a Solo exhibition by the artist Patrick Demarchelier. The exhibition is divided into two thematic focuses: Fashion photography and portraiture. These show impressively why Patrick Demarchelier is not only considered one of the “Big Five” of fashion photography, but is also one of the most influential photographic artists of his time. His work epitomises photography that combines elegance with substance – technically brilliant, yet full of a feel for the subtle nuances of expression. In Demarchelier’s fashion photographs, fabrics become sculptures, bodies become composites of light and movement. His collaboration with Christy Turlington marks a central chapter in his oeuvre. Their joint works are icons of an era. At the same time, Demarchelier’s portraits reveal a special closeness: Glenn Close, Paul Newman, Anthony Hopkins, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore – they all appear not as stagings, but as real encounters. Diane Kruger, Kate Moss and Gi-sele Bündchen are also part of these multi-layered works, in which the photography elevates the personality to an artful verisimilitude. With this unmistakable sbl, Patrick Demarchelier is one of the most influential figures in modern photographic art – far beyond the world […]

SALUSTIANO | Love is Pop | Galerie Brockstedt | 11.09.–31.10.2025 – extended until 31.12.2025
until 31.12. | #4747ARTatBerlin | Galerie Brockstedt shows from Thursday, 11 September 2025 the solo exhibition “Love is Pop” by the artist SALUSTIANO. Born in Seville in 1965, SALUSTIANO focuses in his artistic practice on a few, powerful recurring visual elements. His symbolic motifs act like precise torpedoes – each directed to evoke a unique and personal emotional response in the viewer. His minimalist compositions are clear, bold and deeply expressive. Salustiano, Love is Pop (Zahara con Kimono Y Pistola), 2024, oil on canvas, 138 x 138 cm His reduced colour palette – filled with spiritual resonance – contributes to a sense of transcendence, inviting contemplation. These tones are often considered sacred across various religions, and for SALUSTIANO they form the spiritual backbone of the viewing experience. For him, no work is complete until it has been seen, felt, and internalized by a viewer. His paintings are “completed” again and again through each encounter around the world. Salustiano, On the Road (Diego con Cigarro) 2020, Durchm. 120 cm, Pigmente, Acryl auf Leinwand SALUSTIANO has exhibited internationally in recent years and received a wide array of accolades and media attention. A major moment came in spring 2024, when he created the […]
Quentin Lefranc | Amaurote | Galerie Gilla Lörcher | 16.08.–24.10.2025
until 24.10. | #4747ARTatBerlin | Galerie Gilla Lörcher shows from Saturday, 16. August 2025 (Opening: 15.08.) the exhibition “Amaurote“ by the artist Quentin Lefranc. Galerie Gilla Lörcher presents the second solo exhibition of French artist Quentin Lefranc (born 1987). Conceived as a place of study, architecture serves Quentin Lefranc as a framework, territory and playground for his works. He always establishes a dialogue between the place and what he exhibits there His works, which are located at the interface of different practices, function like open brackets in space. Through juxtapositions or juxtapositions, he questions what this space consists of. He experiments with its permeability, its hierarchies and its history. Even if a sculptural dimension dominates, his proposals favour a field of action rather than a practice and invite us to reflect on our existence and the creation of space. About Quentin Lefranc Quentin Lefranc lives and works in Paris (F). He received diplomas from the Art School in Rueil-Malmaison (2011) and the School of Arts Déco-ratifs in Paris (2013). Quentin Lefranc’s works have been shown in numerous art institutions and galleries: Palais de Tokyo, Paris (F); Centre d’Art Contemporain, Nîmes (F), Centre d’Art Chateauvert (F); Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts, Bruxelles […]

Sador Weinsčlucker | lange reise | Galerie Tammen | 25.07.-30.08.2025
until 30.08. | #4745ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tammen shows from 25. July 2025 the exhibition “lange reise“ by the artist Sador Weinsčlucker. For his first solo exhibition at Galerie Tammen, “lange reise”, Sador Weinsčlucker has painted 42 works over the past year, in continuation and further development of two long-standing series, obviously timeless monochrome (seascapes) and deci-sively contemporary colourful still lifes. Sador Weinsčlucker, “viele tage licht”, 2024, 60 x 100 cm, Oil on canvas The next logical step for the artist was to bring these two series together in one work, not side by side, but recto-verso: in this exhibition, Sador Weinsčlucker is showing his “altarpieces” in the tradition of retables or winged altars for the first time in public. Sador Weinsčlucker, “hinten frischer wind”, 2025, 24 x 30 cm, Oil on wood These long-term series are to a certain extent artistic journeys that the Berlin painter embarked on many years ago and to which he invites us to accompany him part of the way. It is often not the arrival but the impressions along the way that make a journey so appealing. This is precisely why it seems appropriate to accompany the artist on this stage of his long journey.

Jyrki Parantainen | Secular Limbo | Persons Projects | 06.09.–18.10.2025
until 18.10. | #4744ARTatBerlin | Persons Projects shows from Saturday, 6 September 2025 the solo exhibition Secular Limbo by the artist Jyrki Parantainen. Secular Limbo is a poetic meditation on the alchemy of emotion and memory. As a key figure of the Helsinki School and former Head of Photography at Aalto University, Parantainen has been instrumental in shaping a concept-driven approach to photography that blends personal narratives with philosophical thought. The exhibition features recent works from the series Poetry of Circulation, along with sculptural pieces from Between Heaven and Earth. Parantainen’s artistic method integrates photography with text, found objects, wire, and symbolic materials, creating multi-layered compositions infused with existential and metaphysical references. Themes such as life and death, love and hatred, faith and doubt form the emotional spectrum of the show. His works challenge religious narratives while opening portals to the poetic and the unknown. In Poetry of Circulation, Parantainen treats the photographic image as a stage for intervention – punctured, annotated, and connected through threads, evoking tensions we cannot fully control. The accompanying sculptures feel like delicate instruments from another world: miniature cosmologies of gold, glass, cherubs, and laboratory tools. Each object contains a handwritten message hidden inside – […]
Mischa Leinkauf | Night on Earth | alexander levy | 11.09.–18.10.2025
until 18.10. | #4743ARTatBerlin | Galerie alexander levy shows from Thursday, 11 September 2025 the solo exhibition Night on Earth by the artist Mischa Leinkauf. With Night on Earth, Mischa Leinkauf creates a complex scenario between urban reality, political order, and subjective imagination. A large-scale video installation, accompanied by photographic collages and abstract compositions, weaves together documentary observation and poetic allegory into a dense narrative of visibility, control, and escapism. The central element of the exhibition is a video installation whose visual spaces oscillate around the relationship between appearance and reality. An underground urban infrastructure becomes a projection surface for collective overstimulation — a contemporary cave allegory questioning the fragility of perception and reality. How do fragmented world conditions relate to the flight into self-created realities? How do we navigate the chaos on the surface to gain insight in deeper layers? The camera moves through an intermediate world, revealing not the desire to escape reality, but rather the necessity to deconstruct, undermine, and rethink reality as a response to loss of control, overload, and continuous digital bombardment. The work moves between documentary observation and staged allegory, opening viewers’ perception filters and poetically traversing urban underworlds. A photographic series transfers this […]
Abyss of Absence | Group exhibition | AOA;87 contemporary | 08.08.−06.09.2025
Until 06.09. | #4742ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 shows from 08. August 2025 (Opening: 07.08.) the Group exhibition “Abyss of Absence” with Vanshika Agrawal, Neda Aydin, Pavlos Ioannides, and Lorenz Pasch. It rustles, it rattles, it roars, it hums, bursts, crashes, buzzes, throbs, knocks and booms – every day our path leads us through a densely overgrown thicket of noise that seems so commonplace to us that it doesn’t actually appear in our perception at all, unless the volume level suddenly skyrockets for a brief moment. The background noise is so familiar to us, we have almost grown so fond of it, that for most people it is so unfamiliar and unpleasant to be exposed to complete silence that they are in danger of losing their minds. Abysses open up for those who enter the silence and realise: there is not nothing here. Installation view: Lorenz Pasch, perfect puddle, 2023 The manifold forms and effects of silence – states of extreme discomfort and agonising uncertainty can alternate with feelings of ecstasy and oceanic dissolution of boundaries – have moved and fascinated people for thousands of years: be it the search for mystical oneness with the deity or redemption from the ego – […]
Günter Schöllkopf | Solo exhibition | Galerie feinart berlin | 09.08.-04.09.2025
until 04.09. | #4741ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin shows from 09. August 2025 a Solo-exhibition by the artist Günter Schöllkopf. The graphic work of Günter Schöllkopf, born in Stuttgart in 1935, conveys the impression of an inquisitive, politically committed artist and thinker with a talent for etchings and a bubbling imagination. He received private tuition from Max Ackermann at the age of ten and completed his studies at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart at the age of 22. When he died at the age of 44, he left behind a total of around 1,000 works dealing with themes from world literature, music, history and politics. Guenter Schoellkopf, Helden, 34.3 x 49cm, 1953, ©feinartberlin On display in the exhibition are works from the cycles on Balzac, Don Quixote, François Villon, ancient myths and fairy tales as well as three of his rare paintings. Behind the depiction of the themes to which the cycles are dedicated, a proliferating root system of references can be discovered that connects all the pictures, all the figures. Schöllkopf is not interested in confirming predetermined orders and interpretations, let alone illustrating them. Instead, in his kaleidoscopic, ambiguous pictorial worlds, he wanted to achieve collective […]
Margrét H. Blöndal | On the good ship Lollipop | Galerie Thomas Fischer | 27.06.-09.08.2025
until 09.08. | #4739ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Fischer is showing the exhibition “On the good ship Lollipop” by the artist Margrét H. Blöndal. For her fifth exhibition at Galerie Thomas Fischer, Margrét H. Blöndal presents new works on paper. Here we find lyrical line drawings and drawings where Blöndal has worked in layers with texture and surface. One can tread carefully along ridges and seek shelter behind covers and within hollows. The drawings do not depict the whole of the phenomenon she draws; instead, she has chosen to show us parts and bits, the vibration that exists within everything. Exhibition dates: Friday, 27. June – Saturday, 09. August 2025 Title image caption: Margrét H. Blöndal, Untitled (On the good ship Lollipop), 2025, Oil pant and oil on paper, 33 x 29 cm Exhibition Margrét H.

Teachers and Students + Accrochage | ARTES Berlin | 12.07.–06.09.2025
until 06.09. | #4738ARTatBerlin | ARTES Berlin currently shows the exhibition Lehrer und Schüler (Teachers + Students) with artists by the gallery, amongst others with Peter Dreher and Erich Heckel, Georg Baselitz and Norbert Bisky, Römer + Römer and A. R. Penck, Karl Otto Götz and Gerhard Richter, Joseph Beuys and Jörg Immendorff, and many more. At the same time, ARTES Berlin is showing an accrochage throughout the year. Teachers and Students What happens when teaching becomes inspiration? Tensions arise between generations – characterised by closeness, rupture and further development. The works show how artistic influence leads not to imitation, but to transformation. The exhibition is dedicated to the artistic dialogue between generations. It features works by artists whose connections are based on forms of transmission – not in the sense of traditional teaching relationships, but as a lively examination of influence, demarcation and further development. The constellations presented show how teaching becomes artistic influence and sometimes also conscious questioning. Peter Dreher’s quiet realism meets Erich Heckel’s expressive visual language. Two contrasting positions that reveal different approaches to form, colour and perception. The relationship between Georg Baselitz and Norbert Bisky is equally charged: attitude meets rupture, gesture meets calculated staging […]
Abraham Cruzvillegas | Splitogetherness: another groove | Galerie Thomas Schulte | 28.06.-30.08.2025
until 30.08. | #4736ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte (Charlottenstraße) is showing the exhibition “Splitogetherness: another groove” by the artist Abraham Cruzvillegas. Galerie Thomas Schulte presents “Splitogetherness: another groove”, a solo exhibition of new drawings, sculptures and installations by Abraham Cruzvillegas. The works were made on site especially for the exhibition in Berlin and are related to Cruzvillegas’ ongoing practice and a series of projects he calls “autoconstrucción”. Using an improvisational approach, Cruzvillegas constructs sculptural works from everyday objects and materials found and selected on site by the gallery staff. These are presented alongside large-format drawings: loose, gestural interpretations of place and identity. In Corner Space, his “Blind Self-Portrait” series is continued with a three-dimensional work consisting of concealed correspondence documents. In an interplay of double images and interspaces, the works thematise processes, exchange, collectivity and the relationship between identity and environment – each rooted in its own continuous transformation Exhibition dates: Saturday, 28. June until Saturday, 30. August 2025 Title image caption: Abraham Cruzvillegas, “Splitogetherness: another groove”, installation view at Galerie Thomas Schulte, photo: GRAYSC.DE Exhibition Abraham Cruzvillegas – Galerie Thomas Schulte | Zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin | Contemporary Art | Ausstellungen Berlin Galerien | ART at Berlin
ROOTS | Group exhibition| Luisa Catucci Gallery | 18.07.–31.08.2025
until 31.08. | #4740ARTatBerlin | Luisa Catucci Gallery shows from Thursday, 18 July 2025 the group exhibition „ROOTS“ with works by the artists Yvonne Andreini, Michelle Blancke, Aniana Heras, Parsa Hosseinpour, Hyon-Soo Kim, Anabelle Mandeng and Loreal Prystaj. With ROOTS, the Luisa Catucci Gallery presents its annual summer exhibition of female positions – seven artists whose works revolve around the theme of ‘roots’ in a variety of ways: as origin, connection, identity and transformation. Yvonne Andreini’s abstract compositions oscillate between organic spontaneity and architectural rigour – a painterly field of tension between inner movement and outer form. Michelle Blancke uses digitally reworked photographs to create dreamlike natural spaces – atmospheric mirrors of inner landscapes, permeated by memory and symbolism. Aniana Heras uses archaic vessel forms in her sculptural ceramic objects and links them with personal ritual and collective memory – clay as a carrier of the innermost. Parsa Hosseinpour explores emotional states in her figurative paintings – female figures as silent bearers of uncertainty, resilience and belonging. Hyon-Soo Kim combines traditional craftsmanship with philosophical reflection: her installations thematise identity and transience, often in material combinations of textiles, found objects and symbolic forms. Anabelle Mandeng deals with black German identity. Her […]
Leunora Salihu + Albrecht Schnider | A Plant. A Person. A Life. | Galerie Thomas Schulte | 28.06.–30.08.2025
until 30.08. | #4737ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte (Potsdamer Str.) shows since Saturday, 28 June 2025 the duo exhibition “A Plant. A Person. A Life.”, by the artists Leunora Salihu and Albrecht Schnider. The exhibition’s title frames two artistic practices that operate on the edge of abstraction, structure and organic motion. Leunora Salihu presents both new and past sculptural works in varying scales – standing, suspended, or wall-mounted. Her sculptures evoke bodily and architectural references through materials such as wood, ceramic, plaster and iron, suggesting movement, rhythm and a physical relationship with space. Albrecht Schnider shows small-format paintings in which two recurring motifs gradually emerge: floral and plant-like elements on the one hand, and hints of portraiture on the other. Through repetition and transformation, a constructed sense of nature unfolds – rooted in life, in the animate, and in the forms that surround us daily. A Plant. A Person. A Life. brings together works that reflect on life and vitality – on plants and people, forms and spaces, stillness and movement. Opening: Saturday, 28. Juni Exhibition dates: Saturday, 28 June – Saturday, 30 August 2025 Image caption title: Leunora Salihu, Boot, 2015, wood, rope, 36 x 96 x […]
Joachim Lambrechts | The Need for Speed | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin | 24.07.–06.09.2025
until 06.09. | #4735ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin shows from Thursday, 24 July 2025 the solo exhibition “The Need for Speed” by the artist Joachim Lambrechts. Flames erupt from the heels of pink roller skates, the wings of jets, the sails of windsurfers, the roof of a speeding BMW. Black smoke drifts across vibrant fields of colour. In his latest series, The Need for Speed, Lambrechts uses fire not only as a symbol of danger or destruction but also as a metaphor for movement, urgency, passion and the drive to transcend limits. While known for humorous portraits of superheroes, jazz legends and animals rendered in bold colours and a distinctive graphic style, this new body of work marks a shift — away from figuration and towards a more symbolic visual language. Vehicles and sporting equipment become metaphors for ambition and risk. One skier soars through the air with flaming feet and back, a direct nod to the myth of Icarus. Every painting balances between propulsion and collapse, success and burnout. Importantly, these are not utilitarian machines but exaggerated designs driven by the desire to go faster, further, higher — sometimes at the cost of safety. A subtle critique of […]
SHOWCASE | Group Exhibition | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin | 17.07.–30.08.2025
until 30.08. | #4734ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin shows from Thursday, 17 July 2025 the group exhibition SHOWCASE with works by twelve artists from the gallery programme. The exhibition brings together works that interpret the medium of sculpture broadly – between object, space and idea – and explore it in all its diversity and materiality. The positions on display span a dynamic field in which sculptural concepts are expanded and scrutinised in terms of both form and content. With works by Birgit Brenner, Maja Behrmann, Martin Groß, Stella Hamberg, Stef Heidhues, Melora Kuhn, Eric Meier, Lada Nakonechna, Carsten Nicolai, Olaf Nicolai, Nicola Samorì and Kai Schiemenz, the gallery presents a multifaceted insight into current sculptural approaches within its programme.

The exhibition honours the life’s work of Renate Hampke and Ursula Sax, two outstanding personalities in the German art landscape. On the occasion of their respective 90th birthdays, works from different creative phases are presented, which visualise their individual artistic positions and at the same time their joint cultural impact.

María José Arjona | SEDIMENTS: Sono-Choreo-Geo-Graphic Attunements | Galerie Barbara Thumm | 05.07.–02.08.2025
until 02.08. | #4732ARTatBerlin | Galerie Barbara Thumm shows from Saturday, 5 July 2025 the solo exhibition “SEDIMENTS: Sono-Choreo-Geo-Graphic Attunements” by the artist María José Arjona. This exhibition explores Arjona’s ongoing performative research, in which the body, movement, sound, and space are treated as layers of sediment that shift over time through presence, resonance, and translation. Her works operate at the intersection of choreography, geography, and sonic installation – emerging from acoustic and embodied inscriptions that resist fixation yet linger powerfully in space. The exhibition is curated by Melanie Roumiguière. María José Arjona © die Künstlerin / Galerie Barbara Thumm Artist Talk: On Thursday, 10 July 2025 at 7:30 PM, María José Arjona will be in conversation with Melanie Roumiguière at the daadgalerie, focusing on a lesser-known aspect of her practice: her work with text. The starting point will be Arjona’s most recent and unpublished work, Recordings, which will be presented in the space as a publication that invites both spatial and conceptual engagement. Opening: Friday, 4 July 2025, 6:00–9:00 PM (with summer drinks and artist present) Exhibition dates: Saturday, 5 July – Saturday, 2 August 2025 Image caption title: María José Arjona © die Künstlerin / Galerie […]
Mario García Torres | nada me han enseñado los años | neugerriemschneider | 12.07.-23.08.2025
until 23.08. | #4728ARTatBerlin | neugerriemschneider (Linienstraße) shows from 12. July 2025 (Opening: 11.07.) the exhibition “nada me han enseñado los años” by the artist Mario García Torres. In his fifth solo exhibition at neugerriemschneider, Nada me han enseñado los años (“All the years have taught me nothing”), Mario García Torres weaves time, memory and theatrical elements into a reflection on narrative strategies and the often too clear-cut concept of truth in images and reality. In this case, he applies his idea-based approach, with which he repeatedly addresses the global pa-tence of conceptual art and the art-historical tradition, to his native Mexico. An essayistic set of new black-and-white oil paintings – the artist’s earliest figurative works – show motifs that have preoccupied him since The Gem and form a speculative chronicle of the country over the last hundred years. They are assembled in a storyboard and have an archival feel, but at the same time possess a genuine pictorial evidence that defies comprehension. Between the canvases, a crackling tension is created, while the interweaving and mutual reflection of intention, work and narrative create dialogues about the conditions of painting and the constantly changing role of the symbolic. Mario García Torres, […]
Christian Schwarzwald | ROAM | EBENSPERGER BERLIN | 11.07.–10.08.2025
until 10.08. | #4729ARTatBerlin | EBENSPERGER BERLIN shows from Thursday, 10 July 2025 the solo exhibition ROAM by artist Christian Schwarzwald. In the exhibition ROAM, Christian Schwarzwald uses drawing as a means of wandering — in thought, through space, and with the eye. Lines, patterns, and symbols form cartographic systems that oscillate between orientation and disorientation. His works create layered structures that serve as visual tools for navigating the unfamiliar. For Schwarzwald, drawing becomes a medium of exploration — a quiet instrument for sensing, tracing, and navigating the world with intuition and care. Opening: Thursday, 10 July 2025, 6:00–9:00 PM Exhibition Dates: Friday, 11 July – Sunday, 10 August 2025 Titelbildunterschrift: Christian Schwarzwald, SOSOSO, 2025, acrylic on canvas, 200 × 300 cm Exhibition Christian Schwarzwald – EBENSPERGER BERLIN | Zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin | Contemporary Art | Ausstellungen Berlin Galerien | ART at Berlin
Wilfried Schwerin von Krosigk | NEW YORK – BERLIN | Galerie Z22 | 03.07.-31.08.2025
until 31.08. | #4730ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 shows from 03. July 2025 the exhibition “NEW YORK – BERLIN” by the artist Wilfried Schwerin von Krosigk. Wilfried Schwerin von Krosigk, a flaneur through cultural biotopes, between German neo-expressionism and American pop culture, moved from Cologne to bubbling New York in the mid-1980s after studying art – at a time when the East Village was regarded as the thermal centre of postmodern overheating. Wilfried Schwerin von Krosigk, Du musst dein Leben ändern, 1986, Mixedmedia, 172 x 172, 40 x 30 In this urban hothouse, Schwerin von Krosigk begins to develop his artistic language with gestural painting on precarious picture supports – blinds, cardboard, plexiglass. What initially seems like impetuous improvisation turns out on closer inspection to be an aesthetic experimental arrangement in which pictograms, ornaments, urban found objects and ironically broken symbolisms condense into semiotic processes. In the midst of industrial abundance, the artist pursues an alchemy of the marginal, an alienation of purpose that transposes the overlooked to the meta-level through re-evaluation. Wilfried Schwerin von Krosigk, Times Spquare, 1988, Mixedmedia, 57 x 75 It is no coincidence that we find him in the circle of those icons of American contemporary art […]
Vladimir Khorev: Characters + Traces Remain (Group Exhibition) | BBA Gallery | 03.07.–09.08.2025
until 09.08. | #4727ARTatBerlin | BBA Gallery shows from Thursday, 3 July 2025 the solo exhibition Characters by the artist Vladimir Khorev and the group exhibition Traces Remain by the artists Alistair Gow, Birgit Klerch and Esther Schnerr. Characters, the solo exhibition by Vladimir Khorev, winner of the BBA Photography Prize 2024, explores the quiet poetry of everyday life through photography – with a keen sense of light, colour and geometry. In the Wanhua district of Taipei, Khorev portrays passers-by and uses reflections and glass surfaces to create multi-layered, sometimes surreal pictorial spaces. Traces Remain, with works by Alistair Gow, Birgit Klerch and Esther Schnerr, is dedicated to the subtle, lasting traces of human presence. Alistair Gow captures fragile moments of emergence and disappearance, while Birgit Klerch explores emotional interiors and horizons. Esther Schnerr approaches natural history and questions topics such as evolution, extinction and the Anthropocene.

Alvar Beyer + Frauke Bohge | WALDFLUCHT | Galerie Schindler LAB | 10.07.–20.07.2025
until 20.07. | #4731ARTatBerlin | Schindler LAB in Potsdam shows from Thursday, 10 July 2025 the duo exhibition WALDFLUCHT by the artists Alvar Beyer and Frauke Bohge. In the duo exhibition WALDFLUCHT, artists Alvar Beyer and Frauke Bohge present experimental works that explore the intersections of nature, memory, and imagination. WALDFLUCHT, Installationseinblick, © Künstler*innen / Galerie Schindler Frauke Bohge transforms an entire wall into a radiant dreamscape: treehouse chic crafted from twigs and childhood secrets, sparkling like a disco ball in the first morning light. Her large-scale installation becomes a hybrid zone — part sanctuary, part memory — a space ready to be hijacked, dismantled, or idolised by the next soul who encounters it. WALDFLUCHT, Installationseinblick, © Künstler*innen / Galerie Schindler Alvar Beyer creates a moody, cinematic atmosphere — a kind of “Forest Noir.” Charred roots resemble prehistoric jaws, a golden branch grows from the wall and waves like a taxi signal on the way to Sanssouci, while a snow-white trunk floats horizontally, counting its annual rings like a cosmic timeline. His sculptural work oscillates between real-world fragments and poetic intensities. WALDFLUCHT, Installationseinblick, © Alvar Beyer / Galerie Schindler WALDFLUCHT leads viewers through a terrain charged with forest metaphors, archaic […]
Anna-Lisa Unkuri | Loose Threads, Holding Us | Galerie Schindler | 03.07.-30.08.2025
until 30.08. | #4726ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler shows from 03. July the exhibition “Loose Threads, Holding Us” the artist Anna-Lisa Unkuri. A recurring theme in Anna-Lisa Unkuri’s work is the balance between reality and unreality, both on an atmospheric and figurative level. Loose threads that hang on us and either keep us from diving into a fantasy realm, perhaps into oblivion and freedom, or keep us in reality, characterised by reason and the desire to do the right thing. Anna-Lisa Unkuri, (Horse Girl), 2025, Mischtechnik auf Leinwand, 30×30 cm For Anna-Lisa Unkuri, these threads symbolise the ambivalence of our lives: is it about growing up or about the uncertainty of how to actually grow up? Or perhaps it’s about not wanting to grow up at all. The protagonists in her pictures are often in a state of complete presence. They are unaware of a possible observer and exist in an isolated, independent moment. These works are the result of an approach that is typical of Anna-Lisa Unkuri: She seeks to explore the subject through the use of colour and composition. Anna-Lisa Unkuri,Two, Mischtechnik auf Leinwand, 70 x 50cm, 2025 Unkuri usually begins her work abstractly and intuitively. Some of the […]
Matthew Collings | GAZA | Verena Kerfin Gallery | 27.06.-25.07.2025 – extended until 29.08.2025
until 29.08. | #4725ARTatBerlin | Verena Kerfin Gallery presents from 27. June 2025 the exhibition GAZA by the artist Matthew Collings. Fadwa. Fatima. Hala. Hiba. Heba. Nour. Mohammed. Saleem. Refaat. & Mosab. Ten first names, ten faces, ten lives – eight of them violently killed by a war that has haunted the Gaza Strip not only since 2023. The exhibition “GAZA” is dedicated to these ten people, not as mere names in statistics, but as individuals with biographies, families, hopes, professions, and dreams. Seven of them share the fate of having been killed by Israeli airstrikes – as civilians, mostly in their homes, in clinics, or while fleeing. They were artists, had children or were parents, teachers, or journalists. They were not killed in battle, but in the midst of everyday life in Gaza. Each of the ten portrayed individuals was part of a society under siege, shaped by decades of isolation, institutionalized violence, and a daily existence under constant threat. What unites them in death is not just the date or the place, but the fact that they have not been forgotten – their names were written down, their faces painted, their stories shared. They gave voice to their […]
Gottfried Salzmann | Die Erfindung der Landschaft | Galerie Dittmar | 28.06.-23.08.2025
until 23.08. | #4754ARTatBerlin | Galerie Dittmar shows from Friday, 28. June 2025 the exhibition “Die Erfindung der Landschaft” by the artist Gottfried Salzmann. Gottfried Salzmann, born near Salzburg in 1943, has lived and worked in Paris since 1965. 1972 first prize for drawing Pierre David-Weill of the Institut de France, Paris, and Theodor Körner Prize in Vienna. 1982 major monograph by Walter Koschatzky, director of the Albertina in Vienna. In the same year, retrospective at the Albertina with catalogue. Also in 1982, monograph by Wieland Schmied on the charcoal and ink works. 2011 Awarded the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art. Extensive publications appeared in 2023 to mark the artist’s eightieth birthday, including a volume on his landscapes published by Edition Dittmar. Gottfried Salzmann opened up completely new scope for watercolour, charcoal and ink drawings. Art critics recognised their importance at an early stage; as early as the beginning of the seventies they were highly praised. In the course of his career, Salzmann developed new fields of activity and also thematised the urban landscape using photographic material and collage techniques, whereby the landscape remained a focal point of his work, even with the inclusion of new techniques.

Józef Jarema | The Principle of Chance | Crone Berlin | 28.06.-05.09.2025
until 05.09. | #4724ARTatBerlin | Crone Berlin shows from the 28th. June 2025 the exhibition The Principle of Chance by the artist Józef Jarema. On view is a series of abstract works on paper created between the 1940s and 1960s which underline Jarema´s important role in the post war avantgarde scene. Józef Jarema was a visionary, multinational figure—an artist, painter, playwright, actor, and cultural networker whose life and work transcended borders. Born in 1900 in Stary Sambor (then part of Austrian Galicia, now Ukraine) and passing away in 1974 in Munich, Jarema left behind a body of work that resonates with personal intensity and international scope. Focusing on his postwar years in Rome, the exhibition The Principle of Chance explores Jarema’s intuitive, gestural approach to painting—a response to both the horrors of war and the desire to reconstruct meaning through artistic freedom. Deeply influenced by his friendship with Jean Arp and the Dadaist notion of “intentional coincidence,” his work embodies a poetic balance between control and chaos, between organic form and abstract composition. Jarema was not only a prolific artist but also a cultural prime mover. As co-founder of the influential Art Club in Rome, he was a driving force in building […]

Trois | Group Exhibition | Galerie Sievi | 21.06.-03.08.2025
until 03.08. | #4719ARTatBerlin | Galerie Sievi shows from 21st June 2025 (Opening: 20.06.) the exhibition Trois with works by the artists Edith Basseville, Cécile Luherne and Marie Javouhey. Cécile Luherne‘s paintings are unusual, very colourful and by no means minimalist and sober, as abstract painting can be. The colours explode, the forms are complex, no painting is easy to read. Nevertheless, this is the path she has recently embarked upon as an artist. Edith Basseville, courtesy of Galerie Sievi For several years now, Edith Basseville has been incorporating considerations of economy of means and material recovery into her process. This circular process, which is both aesthetic and committed, gives rise to works that carry within them a memory of gesture and place. Marie Javouhey, courtesy of Galerie Sievi Marie Javouhey, the cheerful colours and the lightness of the lines give the pictorial narrative its positive mood. The pictorial worlds are undefined, drawing the viewer into a subtle world.

Patrick Cierpka | Komorebi Komplex | Jarmuschek + Partner | 21.06.-02.08.2025
until 02.08. | #4718 ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner shows from the 21st. June 2025 the exhibition “Komorebi Komplex” by the artist Patrick Cierpka. At the center of Patrick Cierpka’s current works is the Japanese phenomenon of Komorebi, which describes the delicate play of light when rays of sunlight fall through leaves, creating filigree patterns of light and shadow. In his exhibition, Patrick Cierpka expands on this phenomenon – deeply rooted in nature and its subtle beauty. Sunlight falls through the leaves of a tree, transforming water into glittering dots or colored surfaces swirl around human faces and bodies like a rushing cosmos. The artist captures this special atmosphere in his new paintings and thematizes its presence and transience. Light and colors touch an associatively charged pictorial world that is filtered or reflected in his works. He creates a connection between the natural beauty of light and human existence, giving them a deeper emotional and symbolic meaning. The works invite viewers to explore both the ephemeral beauty of nature and the complexity of human experience. Opening: Saturday, 21. June 2025, 11 am – 6 pm. Exhibition dates: Saturday, 21. June until Saturday, 02. August 2025 Title image caption: ©PATRICK […]
Zam Johnson + Norton Wisdom | Always Something New | Galerie Z22 | 19.06.-28.06.2025
until 28.06. | #4721ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 presents from 19th June 2025 the exhibition „Always Something New” by the artists Zam Johnson and Norton Wisdom. Norton and Zam have been performing multimedia shows around the world since 1978, before it was called multimedia. Zam Johnson mixes music from techno, jazz, rock, industrial and hip hop on a battery of synthesizers, keyboards and percussion machines to accompany Norton’s speed painting, which comes and goes at lightning speed. Norton and Zam’s concerts are spectacular. In 1987, Zam moved to Berlin and began composing for film, theatre and concerts. Norton performed with many famous rock and jazz artists and toured Europe with Zam. In 2001, Zam began painting, and Norton and Zam exhibited their art together in Los Angeles, Morocco and Berlin.

Gabi Schillig | What does it mean to be inside of something? | aquabitArt Galerie | 20.06–29.06.2025
until 29.06. | #4722ARTatBerlin | aquabitArt Galerie shows from Friday, 20. June 2025 the exhibition “What does it mean to be inside of something?” by the artist Gabi Schillig. In her work, Gabi Schillig experimentally investigates space and architecture as extensions of the living body – as responsive, dynamic communication media. Space is not static or immobile, but alive and constantly evolving, deeply interwoven with human presence and physical experience. Bodies, spaces and actions are not separate entities, but interdependent and closely connected. At the centre of her work is the creation of soft, ephemeral architectures – textile shells, spatial structures, skins and sometimes almost immaterial membranes – that question rigid spatial boundaries Gabi Schillig – What Does It Mean to be Inside of Something? (Kyoto, 2025), w/ Asami Yasumoto + Kanami Itakura / Foto: Hee-Hee /w/ distant realities These soft architectures act as spatial mediators, transforming interiors and exteriors into fluid, permeable zones. They invite tactile and embodied dialogues and enable new ways of being in space – from digital imaginary drawings, photography, spatial installations, performances and videos to woven textiles. Softness is a powerful spatial, material, and social concept. It enables adaptability, malleability, and resonance. It embodies fragility, […]
VOLLBILDMODUS #2 | Group exhibition | Galerie Gilla Lörcher | 27.06.–01.08.2025
until 01.08. | #4717ARTatBerlin | Galerie Gilla Lörcher shows from Friday, 27 June 2025 (Opening: 26.06.) the group exhibition „VOLLBILDMODUS #2“ with Claudia Desgranges, Katrina Blannin, Doris Marten, Christine Reifenberger, Birte Horn and Sandrine Mahéo. VOLLBILDMODUS is an exhibition series featuring six female artists from Berlin, Ulm, Cologne, and London who explore abstract painting in a variety of forms. The exhibition presents an interaction of painting within space. Colour painting, minimalism, concrete painterly approaches, and gestural elements combine to create a dynamic interplay of color and movement. The result is an engaging alternation of perception levels, turning VOLLBILDMODUS into a stage for painting. Participating artists are Claudia Desgranges, Katrina Blannin, Birte Horn, Sandrine Mahéo, Doris Marten, and Christine Reifenberger. The concept for the exhibition originated from the Cologne-based painter Claudia Desgranges. Following the first presentation at Kunstraum 21 in Bonn in March 2025, Galerie Gilla Lörcher in Berlin serves as the second venue for the VOLLBILDMODUS series. The exhibition will continue to be shown at various art locations throughout 2025–2027, each time with a different focus. Opening: Thursday, June 26, 2025, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Exhibition date: Friday, 27 June – Friday, 1 August 2025 Image caption title: […]
Roland Stratmann | Große Vögel, Kleine Vögel | Galerie SCHMALFUSS BERLIN | 14.06. until (to follow)
until (to follow) | #4632ARTatBerlin | Galerie SCHMALFUSS BERLIN shows from 14th June 2025 in new gallery premises (Knesebeckstr. 11) the exhibition „Große Vögel, Kleine Vögel” with works by the artist Roland Stratmann. With Große Vögel, kleine Vögel (Big Birds, Small Birds), Roland Stratmann presents a body of work that refers to current events. The title quotes Pier Paolo Pasolini’s film of the same name, which deals with the seductive power of ideologies. Roland Stratmann, Fayencen, M15-2022, Diptych cut-out with 3 postcards each, 42 x 32 cm Stratmann’s works draw attention to the resurgence of feudal-capitalist structures and the propaganda-supported worldviews of those in power. Plush toys encounter monumental monuments, lush flower arrangements encounter concealing camouflage, and the silhouettes of heroic figures intertwine with timekeeping devices. Roland Stratmann, 2025-31, IBDMW, Osterluzeifalter Immersing oneself in the images allows one to travel through history and its ideological upheavals. The seemingly apocalyptic threats are thwarted by curious physiognomies and grotesque shifts in scale. Roland Stratmann, Senza Madonna, Verkehr Despite the seriousness of the topics covered, the exhibition promises to open up a wide range of perspectives and offer both aesthetic enjoyment and intellectual pleasure. Opening reception: Saturday, 14 June 2025, from 4:00 p.m. […]
Mary Ramsden | In touch | WENTRUP | 14.06.–09.08.2025
until 09.08. | #4716ARTatBerlin |WENTRUP presents from Saturday, 14th June 2025 the exhibition „In touch“ by the artist Mary Mary Ramsden. The artist’s studio is a place not only cloaked in myth but also strictly guarded by bouncers who will not hesitate to kick you out if it’s getting too crowded in there. Sometimes artist, bouncer and viewer happen to be the same person, with comical effects worthy of Baron Münchhausen, who famously pulled himself out of the mud by his own hair. Let me remind you of Philipp Guston’s often-quoted version of such self-referential gymnastics: »When you’re in the studio painting, there are a lot of people in there with you – your teachers, friends, painters from history, critics… and one by one, if you’re really painting, they walk out. And if you’re really painting YOU walk out.« What gets easily lost when summoning the cliché of the (often male) reclusive bouncer-painter is the triadic topology invoked in Guston’s quote. All the people in the room can only walk out because the studio is not a walled bunker or a cave in the desert, but a room with a door. The difference, to put it with Georg Simmel, is […]

Malte Spohr, born 1958 in Hamburg, studied at the Braunschweig University of Fine Arts, among others; he lives in Berlin; Spohr transforms photographic source material into highly original drawings; his new works subtly revolve around the contrasting field of black and white. Catalogues: ‘Malte Spohr – Aufzeichnungen 1994 – 2018’, 2018, Museum Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern; ‘MUNK & SPOHR’, 2024, Fantôme, Vol.83, Berlin.

Felix Kiessling | Zucker | alexander levy | 13.06.–19.07.2025
until 19.07. | #4712ARTatBerlin | Galerie alexander levy shows from 13 June 2025 the exhibition Zucker by the artist Felix Kiessling. alexander levy presents Zucker, a solo exhibition by Felix Kiessling. The exhibition comprises three groups of works – Work (2025), You (2025) and Seating (2025) – and examines the body as a permeable, affective medium that inscribes itself into its surroundings. In this context, fixed boundaries between self and space are questioned and the subtle dialogue between material presence, memory and socially constructed frames of perception are made visible. In Arbeit (2025), raw aluminium plates are altered by a biochemical corrosion reaction between the metal surface and bodily fluids. Chemically treated condensation water – collected by the artist himself, his partner and his son – is applied to the aluminium with the help of textiles. Some works show indefinable traces of endogenous salts and acids that have been deposited over time. The resulting organic forms elude conscious design and appear as direct traces of physical proximity and touch. Du (2025) is a thermal imaging camera installation in the form of a bathroom mirror. It invites us to reflect beyond the external appearance by capturing invisible processes such as circulation, […]
Raul Walch | Agree to disagree | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin | 12.06.-12.07.2025
until 12.07. | #4708ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin shows from 12. June 2025 the exhibition “Agree to disagree” by the artist Raul Walch. Based on his scholarship as prizewinner of the Villa Romana in Florence, Walch explores the global textile industry in his new textile installations, assemblages and the new video work using the city of Prato as an example. A large-format banner stretching across the façade of the gallery transposes the exhibition into the public space. “Be patient! Calming news is on its way.” We laugh even though the world is crashing down on us. Raul Walch confronts this fragile world, which is reflected in his works, with cross-media scraps that seem like a chain of quotations, but without inverted commas. Walch has been exploring textiles as a medium since his studies, but the globalised hybridity of the material in Prato and Florence has repositioned his work Dressing the Wind (Prato) is a commentary on Florence, Prato and the bamboo of Tuscany. Deep in the earth, flags wave in the wind on seven metre high poles. The patterns and fabrics have survived the heavy rain of spring and the wind. On fabrics from various warehouses in Prato […]
Navot Miller | Paradise | DITTRICH + SCHLECHTRIEM | 04.07.–30.08.2025
until 30.08. | #4710ARTatBerlin | DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM shows from 04th July 2025 the solo exhibition „Paradise“ by the artist Navot Miller. Miller presents a new series of paintings ranging from large-scale to intimate works alongside a colorful architectural intervention. For the first time in the artist’s practice, there will be a theatrical reveal at 7 PM, during which the covered paintings will be unveiled and made available for public viewing. © Navot Miller, Eli in Berry St., 2025 The exhibition unfolds through portraits, urban scenes, and intimate exchanges. Echoes of Edward Hopper’s quiet tension run throughout the series. The conceptual center of Paradise consists of two fresh anecdotes in Miller’s life—a recent romantic relationship with a person and a departure from a place he considers home: Berlin. Miller’s approach to both Eliezer and Berlin is filled with warmth, humor, and eventual heartbreak. Their story infuses the paintings. Here, longing is not failure, but a sign of being alive—a theme also touched on in Olivia Laing’s The Lonely City. Opening: Friday, 4th July 2025, 6:00 – 8:00 pm Exhibition dates: Friday, 4 th July until Saturday, 30 th August 2025 Image caption title: © Navot Miller, 3 boys […]

Oliver Gröne + Wolfgang Siesing | Inszenierte Idylle | Jarmuschek + Partner | 12.06.-21.06.2025
until 21.06. | #4709 ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner presents from 12th June 2025 (Vernissage: 11.06.) the duo exhibitionn „Inszenierte Idylle“ (staged idylls) by the artists Oliver Gröne and Wolfgang Siesing. An ideal world, a refuge, a retreat or an overgrown scene of a past that is no longer visible: the images of seemingly untouched nature can stand for many things. Oliver Gröne and Wolfgang Siesing present us Inzenierte Idylle (staged idylls) in paintings, photographs and texts. What do painters and photographers discover on the outside and what do they create from within? Is the viewer’s place of longing different from that of the artist? Wolfgang Siesing studied photography and politics at the HBK and TU Braunschweig. He repeatedly works at the cultural and political interfaces of our society and also finds the motifs and themes for his reportages in war zones. His photographs and texts have already been presented at numerous places, including ADAC Urlaub, America Journal, Artmapp, AWO, Audi, Die Neue Reiselust, Der Spiegel, Die Süddeutsche Zeitung, German Historical Museum, FOCUS, Geo-Saison, Guardian, HPP, MAX, Monopol, PLAYBOY, Revue, ver.di, Volkswagen, Welt, Wunderwelt Wissen, Stern, FHM… Oliver Gröne was born in 1969 in Lemgo, North Rhine-Westphalia.

Roman Ondak | Out of the Blue | Esther Schipper | 13.06.–12.07.2025
until 12.07. | #4707ARTatBerlin | Galerie Esther Schipper shows from 13. June 2025 the solo exhibition “Out of the Blue” by the artist Roman Ondak. Esther Schipper presents Out of the Blue, Roman Ondak’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The presentation features sculptures and photographic works with various interventions. The exhibition centers around the color blue, which is historically associated with melancholy, and includes works that reference personal moments, memories, and historical contexts. Each work incorporates different shades of blue. One of the works on view is Crossword I (2025), the first in a new series. It features a reprinted archival photograph over which the artist has painted a light blue crossword puzzle. The image depicts a quarry and comes from the archives of a company where Ondak’s father once worked. The crossword puzzle, originating from the post-World War II era, includes elements of socialist propaganda, linking personal and national history. Maja in Blue (2025) is based on a 1998 photograph of the artist’s wife. It shows a woman in a small bathtub, her body submerged beneath the water. The blue tones dominate the composition, and the close framing, along with the grid of surrounding tiles, creates a contained […]
Michael Dohr | Point of No Return | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin | 12.06.-19.07.2025
Until 19.07. | #4706 ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin shows from 12th June 2025 (Vernissage: 11th June) the solo exhibition „Point of No Return“ with the artist Michael Dohr. Mystical shapes, synthetic and bodily forms converge in the works of Austrian artist Michael Dohr, evoking systems and processes in flux – something being made or undone. Point of No Return, the title of the artist’s first solo exhibition at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Berlin, references the idea of an irreversible tipping point, embodied in the recurring motif of a falling drop. Whether a teardrop, a leak, blood, rain, ink, industrial waste, the drop is a symbol of suspended consequence, beautiful and doomed. This is work made in response to a world saturated with decisive moments: from the pandemic to the climate emergency, from a new geo-political situation to artificial intelligence, from synthetic biology to the metaverse. We know that collapse is coming, but the drop is yet to hit the ground. In this space of anticipation, Dohr doesn’t offer resolution or return, but invites us to consider what might come after the fall. The works suggest that within collapse, there may be the raw material for something new: forms of […]
Into the fire | Group exhibition | AOA;87 contemporary | 24.06.−25.07.2025
until 25.07. | #4705ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 shows from Tuesday, 24 June 2025 (Opening: 21.06.) the group exhibition „Into the fire“ with Sunmin Park, Holger Schmidhuber, Max Schulze, Christine Moldrickx, Christian Hellmich und Jessica Buhlmann. Angst rules. In the economy, in politics, in society at large. Paralyzed, we stare past the crises at whatever may still be looming— like a squirrel frozen in the headlights of an oncoming Porsche Cayenne. The saving leap? Hardly even crosses our minds anymore. Jessica Buhlmann, okno 2024, Öl auf Leinwand, Textil, 110 x 93 x 18 cm. Credit: Zhao He Don’t dare try something new. Don’t take any risks. And for heaven’s sake—now of all times—don’t make a mistake. Better to do nothing. At most, perhaps: restrict, exclude, barricade. Just in case. Algorithmically conditioned and optimized for conformity in our desires and needs, we place our hope in the almighty AI like children awaiting Santa Claus. Already it calculates with chilling precision what suits us, what’s good for us, what path to take. It’ll sort things out. Meanwhile, we tighten our belts—both financially and ideologically. And in this golden age of advanced cowardice, a cunning few keep stuffing their pockets— while the rest often do […]
Michael Triegel | Beyond the Visible | Galerie Schwind | 09.03.–15.06.2025
until 15.06. | #4704ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schwind currently shows since 9th March 2025 the solo exhibition ‘Jenseits des Sichtbaren’ by the artist Michael Triegel. Masterpieces in Aachen The Suermondt-Ludwig Museum in Aachen is staging a retrospective exhibition featuring around 75 works by Michael Triegel (*1968, Erfurt). Michael Triegel is regarded as one of the most prominent contemporary artists. His works – including altarpieces, portraits, still lifes and landscape watercolours – combine traditional painting techniques with a critical engagement with art history. He draws inspiration from the Italian Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Spanish Baroque. Triegel incorporates and interprets motifs from classical mythology, biblical salvation history, and cultural-historical sources. His glazing technique merges classical painting methods with modern subject matter. He describes his approach as follows: “My game is precisely to assert the Old Master at first glance – and then gradually undermine that initial impression.” The exhibition spans Triegel’s work from large-scale pieces of the 1990s to his most recent painting Young Man from Procida (2025), which brings together medieval pictorial traditions, lived religious practice, and contemporary portraiture. The show offers an opportunity to explore the artist’s diverse body of work and to appreciate both his technique and his treatment of […]

until 22.08. |#4703ARTatBerlin | Q Gallery shows from 28th June 2025 (Vernissage: 27.06) the solo exhibition „QUINTESSENCE“ by the artist Rashid Al Khalifa. The exhibition is curated by Yasmin Sharabi, Director of the RAK Foundation. Rashid Al Khalifa, born in 1952 in Riffa (Bahrain), is an internationally recognised artist, art collector and patron of contemporary art and a member of the Royal House of Bahrain. He studied at Hastings College of Arts and Technology in Great Britain and began his artistic career with figurative painting, particularly landscapes, which were strongly characterised by impressionist influences. Over the course of his career, his style has evolved from traditional painting techniques to abstract and conceptual forms of expression. Today, he is known for his innovative works with reflective materials, geometric structures and minimalist compositions that emphasise light, space and movement. His works operate at the interface of painting, sculpture and architecture and interact with their surroundings in a way that actively involves the viewer in the artistic process. Rashid al Khalifa, Mobile Column VIII (Yellow), 2025, Enamel on Stainless Steel, 120 x 90 x 90 cm Al Khalifa draws his inspiration from the surrounding landscape and architecture.

Boriana Pertchinska | BEASTS | Galerie feinart berlin | 31.05.-12.07.2025
until 12.07. | #4702ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin shows from 31. May 2025 the exhibition BEASTS by the artist Boriana Pertchinska. Beasts. They are to be feared, they are wild, powerful, strange, scary and banished from the safe haven of civilisation. Is it because of a dark, ancient relationship that humans have always been fascinated by them? Born in Sofia in 1974 and based in Berlin since 2012, artist Boriana Pertchinska reinterprets the mythological and symbolically charged animal creatures that appear in her works: “beasts” as embodiments of hidden powers and inner demons. Leaping tigers, snake-like coiled dragons, fanged predatory fish – the inner being of a human being seems to have taken shape in all these animal creatures. Boriana Pertchinska, Beasts I, 2023, Left part: pigments, acrylic, charcoal, fire on paper Right part: pigments, acrylic, chalk base on jute, diptych 130 x 170 cm, © B. Pertchinska In terms of form and content, the artist works with bipolarity. Most of her works are diptychs, i.e. double images. In the inner space of each double image mirrored on the central axis, a dialogue is created between the two sides. The full meaning of each work of art is only revealed […]
Andi Schmölzer | Galerie Z22 | 22.05.-14.06.2025.
until 14.06. | #4720ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 shows from 22. May 2025 an exhibition by the artist Andi Schmölzer. All works are created by listening to this music. The concept is based on the aesthetic freedom of jazz. Jazz is the music of protest, tolerance and humanity, the unmistakable, personal expression of the individual. Jazz emphasizes the essential things: the real instead of the artificial, the content instead of the external form, honesty instead of pathos, ethics instead of aesthetics. They are somersaults from the mind: painted with cheeky naivety, figures that stroll through the pictures and through our heads. Vernissage: Thursday, 22. May 2025, from 7 to 10 pm Exhibition period: Thursday, 22. May – Saturday 14. June 2025 Image caption: Andi Schmölzer, Courtesy: Galerie Z22.

The exhibition -DU- presents two independent artistic positions that could hardly be more connected – a couple for over 30 years: the Berlin artists Anke Völk and Frank Maier. The focus is not on the individual work or its stylistic characteristics – as present as they are. Rather, the focus should be on the deliberately chosen title -DU-. And here on the fundamental human experience that we do not recognise ourselves, the world – and also art – by retreating into the ego, but only in the other person – in You. In this exhibition, the “you” not only becomes a metaphor for relationship, but also a space for thinking about difference, closeness, reflection and independence. In the works on display, two attitudes unfold, different in expression and materiality, which do not harmonise but coexist, question, complement and sometimes contradict each other. -DU- is an exhibition about closeness and difference, about connection without dissolution and about the profound knowledge that art, like life, only experiences its breadth in the other.

Simone Pellegrini + Aniana Heras + Forlenza | CHRONOTOPES | Luisa Catucci Gallery | 16.05.-14.06.2025
until 14.06. | #4700ARTatBerlin | Luisa Catucci Gallery shows from Friday, 16th May 2025 the exhibition CHRONOTOPES by the artists Simone Pellegrini, Aniana Heras and Forlenza. Chronotopes is an exhibition that presents the scenario of an imagined culture – a fictitious civilisation that emerges from the coming together of three independent artistic practices. The presentation is designed like a museum: with display cases, objects and arrangements. The works on display are not historical finds, but deliberately conceived as artefacts of speculative worlds – chronotopoi in Bakhtin’s sense, in which space and meaning are presented in non-linear contexts. The exhibition is curated as a fictional and internally consistent cultural narrative and brings together three artists who have not previously worked together: Simone Pellegrini, whose drawings depict cartographic and script-like structures; Aniana Heras, whose ceramics are reminiscent of vessels and fragments; and Forlenza, whose jewellery is inspired by historical models. Chronotopes presents a system of symbolic references that functions without a direct historical context – as a representation of a culture between memory and construction. Courtesy by the artist and Luisa Catucci Gallery Simone Pellegrini Drawing Large-format works by Simone Pellegrini are at the centre of Chronotopes. His works combine elements of […]
Johannes Regin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne | 16.05.–07.06.2025
until 07.06. | #4699ARTatBerlin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne shows from Friday, 16. May 2025 an exhibition by the artist Johannes Regin in the backstage of the gallery. Johannes Regin’s works are based on the precise placement of dot patterns, which are applied in several layers on top of each other. This creates grids with minimal variations that indicate shifts in tension in the rhythm. Older traces of colour and traces of drawing are visible in the works, indicating the found material used. The structural arrangement appears uniform, but reveals a multitude of creative details. In the current work phase, the dots are placed two or three times on top of each other. The working process requires concentration and a conscious examination of the material. Regin uses found objects, the surfaces of which he works on by drawing, painting, engraving, punching or chiselling. The choice of colours and techniques is deliberate, often with more accentuated tones at the edges. Colour overlays complement the visual effect. The result is a differentiated structure that combines creative stability with openness to change. Born in Neubrandenburg in 1986, Johannes Regin lives and works in Berlin and Spechthausen. He studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee from 2007 […]
Zuzanna Bartoszek | Film Noir | KLEMM’S | 23.05.-05.07.2025
until 05.07. | #4698ARTatBerlin | KLEMM’S shows from 23. May 2025 the exhibition “Film Noir” by the artist Zuzanna Bartoszek. In her first solo exhibition in Germany, Film Noir, Zuzanna Bartoszek presents a series of powerful new paintings that explore the most romantic and feverish dimensions of love – longing, grief, desire and intoxicating blindness. In Film Noir, Bartoszek directs her gaze to the often overlooked characters and spaces on the margins of love stories: the friends on the third wheel, the widows, the quietly grieving, the havens (for lovers and loners). About Zuzanna Bartoszek Born in 1993 in Poznań, Poland, and currently living in Berlin, Zuzanna Bartoszek is a painter and poet whose multidisciplinary work defies easy categorisation. While her paintings have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the Kunsthalle Zürich, the Gaylord Apartments in Los Angeles and the Cabin Gallery in New York, among others, this practice is complemented by a strong literary presence. In 2016, she published her first poetry collection Niebieski Dwór with Disastra Publishing. This was followed in 2021 by Klucz wisi na Słońcu, published by WBPiCAK and nominated for the 2022 Wisława Szymborska Award. 2025 will see the publication of […]
Anja Nürnberg | Back to Green | Galerie Schindler | 15.05.-28.06.2025
until 28.06. | #4697ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler shows from the 15th. May the exhibition “Back to Green” by the artist Anja Nürnberg. There are paintings that require not only space and light, but also people and movement in their surroundings. They need life around them, because only then do they unfold their full effect. The works of Anja Nürnberg are such paintings, because they come from life. The young painter from Halle is one of the breathtaking new protagonists of the art scene in recent years. Her works are full of colour, light and explosive energy. Her works combine an impetuous youthfulness in her handling of materials with an accomplished technique and great skill. And there are few artists who have mastered the very large format as confidently as Anja Nürnberg. Quer durch den Garten (2025) Mischtechnik auf Leinwand, 110x110cm Her paintings have several levels of perception, which only gradually reveal their secrets and are revealed to the viewer step by step. On the first level, they fascinate with their seemingly unbridled colourfulness and creative power. The picture is perceived as a whole, as a coherent composition. The recurring colour constellations always lend his works a high recognition value despite […]
Lula Broglio | An egg in the pocket | DUVE BERLIN | 02.05.-27.06.2025
until 27.06. | #4695 ARTatBerlin | DUVE BERLIN currently shows the exhibition „An egg in the pocket“ by the artist Lula Broglio. Lula Broglio (1993 in Imperia, Italy) lives and works in Biella. She studied Painting at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, where she completed her undergraduate studies in 2015 and later obtained a Master’s degree in finer arts in 2018.. In 2015, she co-founded Spaziobuonasera (an artist-run space in Turin); in 2017, Club Pineta (an artist residency). Over the past five years, Lula Broglio has exhibited her work in numerous national and international galleries and institutions, including: Post fair with Tureen Dallas (Los Angeles, 2025), Nevven (Göteborg, 2024) Museo della Sapienza (Rome, 2024), Salotto Studio (Milan, 2023), GOBEN X GU11 (Cologne, 2023), Castello di Rivoli (Turin, 2023), Fondazione Pino Pascali (Polignano a Mare, 2022), Amanita (S’chanf, 2022), Palazzina (Basel, 2021), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin, 2021), Fondazione Smart (Rome, 2021), and Basis (Frankfurt, 2018). One day, a bird laid a paintbrush on a pair of knees. The brush was slipped into a pocket and turned into an egg. Nothing extraordinary — the pocket became a nest, and the step an ancient rhythm, lulling it. The egg […]
Desire Moheb-Zandi | Cross Over | WENTRUP | 02.05.–07.06.2025
until 07.06. | #4696ARTatBerlin |WENTRUP currently shows the exhibition “Cross Over” by the artist Desire Moheb-Zandi. Desire Moheb-Zandi’s work crosses borders – both literally and metaphorically. The exhibition ‘Cross Over’ explores her practice at the intersection of craft and art, cultural identities, materials, traditions and experiments. Born in Berlin to Iranian and Uzbek-Turkish parents and raised in Turkey, Moheb-Zandi’s work explores themes of identity and movement between different cultural contexts. This cultural interplay is evident in her weaving practice, which integrates both traditional techniques and contemporary methods. By using upcycled threads and natural fibres, she addresses the evolution of the craft and its potential as a medium for artistic expression. Memory Lake, 2025, Leinen, Samt, synthetische Fäden, Lurex, Wolle, Seil, Kordel, Nylon, Füllung; 180 x 157 x 15 cm In ‘Cross Over’, weaving is depicted as a representation of transition and transformation – threads that intersect and form a uniform, changing structure. The process is likened to a textile score in which the weaving unfolds to the rhythm of the loom and the artist’s manual intervention. This interaction reflects a balance between structured technique and spontaneous creation, linking past and present practices. The exhibition encourages the viewer to engage with […]
