until 21.12. | #3723ARTatBerlin | Haverkampf Leistenschneider presents the exhibition “One step away from the truth” by the artist Okka-Esther Hungerbühler from 1 December 2022.

until 19.01. | #3720ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin shows from 1. December 2022 the exhibition Sibyl Smile. Under this exhibition title current works by C.D. Aschaffenburg and Maria Wirth meet, full of relish, raising questions and with a fascination for everything mysterious, ambiguous and absurd thing in human existence and thinking.  If works of art had a smile, it would often be a Sibyllic one. Sibyls, the seers of ancient Greek mythology, only answered the questions about the weal and woe of fate with hints or riddles and sometimes dismissed their guests with the ambiguity of a mere smile. Her profession was no  clarification or explanation. Rather, they handed the responsibility of thinking and interpreting directly (like a mirror?) back to those seeking advice. Maria Wirth, Gespensterzähmung, 2022 © MW The reference to this ancient motif emphasizes an essential common endeavor of the two artists in the exhibition, namely raising questions or not allowing them to rest, i.e. stimulating the desire to ask questions instead of answering them, combined with the fascination for everything mysterious , ambiguous, absurd in the being and thinking of man. C.D. Aschaffenburg, Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe, 2018 © C.D. Aschaffenburg The experimental film artist and […]

until 13.01. | #3704ARTatBerlin | Galerie Gilla Lörcher presents the exhibition NOCTURNOS by artist Gonzalo Reyes Araos from 18 November 2022. Galerie Gilla Lörcher | Contemporary Art is pleased to present the second solo exhibition of Chilean artist Gonzalo Reyes Araos at the gallery. The exhibition includes a selection of works from 2022. All the artworks on display emerged from the artist’s research fellowship in the Atacama Desert. The title of the exhibition “Nocturnos” (nocturnal or night in Spanish) is inspired by the night sky. This is part of an investigation in which Gonzalo Reyes Araos questions how contemporary media have conditioned and redefined our connection with nature and how we perceive the world from screens and thinking technologies. The Chilean artist Gonzalo Reyes Araos (born 1980) studied at the Art Academy in Valparaíso, Chile. Gonzalo Reyes Araos was awarded the VI Juan Francisco Gonzales Prize (Chile), the II Corral y su bahia painting prize (Chile), the Art residency grant at Seoul Art Space Geumchon / Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture (KR), was shortlisted for the Losito Art Prize 2015 (Germany), received the H Residency, Calama (Chile) in 2020 and the Research Stipend for Visual Arts of the Berlin […]

until 17.12. | #3701ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts presents the exhibition “New Pictures” by the artist Marcel Eichner from 12 November 2022.  Marcel Eichner goes to the fringes of society to find such people who fit for his world of art. Primarily with powerful strokes of the charcoal pencil and sparing use of colour for selected parts of his compositions, he creates the figures surrounded by objects or animals or entwined by geometric patterns. Marcel Eichner “Ein Lippenbekenntnis“ 2022 Charcoal and gouacheon canvas 180 x 140 cm | 70 7/8 x 55 1/8 in The atmosphere of the works is subdued, often melancholic, serious, determined by gestures that sometimes seem helpless. Marcel Eichner dares to direct his gaze where other contemporaries prefer to turn away. The darkening prospects of society seem to legitimise his inventions and observations all the more. Loneliness, cold, misery. Poverty, the miserable are not taboo subjects here, but the characteristics of a present that are becoming increasingly entrenched and the signature of the times. That is why Marcel Eichner’s work is a current, valid, serious contribution to understanding what is creepingly changing. Vernissage: Friday, 11 November 2022, from 06:00 p.m. to 08:00 p.m. Exhibition dates: Saturday, […]

until 17.12. | #3697ARTatBerlin | Galerie Barbara Thumm presents the exhibition ” In Order of Appearance” by Anna K.E + group exhibition “The Greatest Source of My Longing” from 5 Semptember 2022 (Vernissage 04.11.), Whispering is a voiceless type of phonation in which the vocal cords are worn down so that they do not vibrate; the air passes between the arytenoid cartilages and creates audible turbulence when speaking. In Anna K.E.’s new exhibition “In Order of Appearance”, 33 works are hung in a grid. Each frame contains an oversized, painted picture frame with a small drawing in the middle. K.E. began the series in 2018 during a road trip from Los Angeles to New York and continued to work on it throughout her other travels. On pages torn out of a sketchbook, she drew portraits of people she met along the way. But these portraits are not realistic depictions: The faces are reduced to abstract forms, some appearing geometric and constructed, others spontaneous and ornamental. K.E. herself calls them avatars, as they bear no resemblance to the people portrayed, but are associative representations from her memory.

until 12.03. | #3693ARTatBerlin | CAMERA WORK presents from 26 November 2022 the exhibition Human Conditions by the artist Olaf Heine. The CAMERA WORK gallery presents the exhibition “Human Condi[ons” with works by Berlin-based photographer Olaf Heine from 26 November 2022. The exhibition provides a comprehensive insight into the artist’s rich and now 30-year career and visualises his artistic intentions. It is Olaf Heine’s largest solo exhibition to date. Olaf Heine is internationally known for his enigmatic and richly detailed portraits of musicians, actors, writers, visual artists and athletes, as well as impressive architectural and landscape photography. Heine’s first assignments were for album covers of friends – including Terry Hoax and Fury in the Slaughterhouse – and were once the deciding factor for him to begin a Press Contact Alina Heinze CAMERA WORK – Kantstraße 149 – 10623 Berlin Tel.: +49 (0)30 310077-73 E-Mail: alina.heinze@camerawork.de www.camerawork.de training as a photographer and communication designer at the renowned Berlin LeEe-Verein.

until 19.11. | #3690ARTatBerlin | Bermel von Luxburg Gallery shows from 03 November 2022 the exhibition “NFT meets Traditional Art”. BvL x Kunstleben Berlin Galerie Bermel von Luxburg, in collaboration with Kunstleben Berlin, is pleased to launch our first series entitled NFT meets TRADITIONAL ART and invites you to this exciting project: NFT meets Traditional Art Can digital and traditional, physical art inspire each other? This question will be explored in the exhibition NFT meets traditional Art, which will take place from 3 to 19 November 2022 at Galerie Bermel von Luxburg in Berlin Charlottenburg and in parallel at the virtual Musée Dezentral. In addition, works by all participating artists will be posted as NFT on 03 November. A premiere not only for most artists, but also for the brand new NFT platform kunstleben.ART. The continued success of the ROMS NFT Collection presented by Galerie Bermel von Luxburg and the ongoing interest in NFTs and digital art formats gave gallery owners Aleksandra von Luxburg & Mario Bermel the idea to follow up on this. Together with Romy Campe from Kunstleben Berlin, we have developed a format that unites the most diverse art genres, which have been somewhat estranged until now. […]

until 14.01. | #3688ARTatBerlin | Galerie Friese will be showing an exhibition of paintings by the artist Matti Kujasalo from 5 November 2022 (vernissage: 04.11.). At the same time, works by Friedrich Teepe will be presented. In Matti Kujasalo’s second solo exhibition at Galerie Friese, the focus is on the paintings he has created in recent years and on his current paintings, in which colour plays an increasingly central role. Matti Kujasalo created the foundations of his reduced vocabulary as early as the mid-1970s, from which he continues to draw new pictorial inventions to this day: line, dot, circle and square.   Matti Kujasalo, Painting, 14.7.2016, Acryl auf Leinwand,  ⌀ 65 cm. Photo: Eric Tschernow, Berlin On exclusively circular or square canvases, he composes area-filling structures on a white or black ground, each painting being based on a specially developed mathematical concept. These grid-like structures are at first only perceptible as coherent, oscillating formations, sometimes stretching lightly, then again condensed over the canvases, are sometimes two-dimensional and then again deep three-dimensional spaces. On closer inspection, these interwoven constructions float and dissolve into inconceivably fine structures and details.   And that is precisely where the power of Kujasalo’s pictures lies: between […]

Until 23.12. | #3687ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler shows from 04. November 2022 (Openning: 04.11) the exhibition by the artist Navid Nuur. Galerie Max Hetzler presents the solo exhibition STEP BY STEP by Navid Nuur, on view at Galerie Max Hetzler, Bleibtreustraße 15/16 in Berlin. The exhibition brings together new works as well as works from recent years that show Nuur’s lifelong fascination with marbling and his ongoing exploration of the subject. From a young age, Nuur felt a spiritual force emanating from marble and was preoccupied with the question of why the material remained in the background in the form of decorative panelling or marbled manuscript bindings, rather than as a pure art form. This investigation of supposed truths is an essential part of Nuur’s work: by questioning preconceived ideas, the artist probes (in)conscious thinking about the small, inconspicuous processes in our material world. The exhibition reaches back to Nuur’s early experiments with marbling and its visual properties. In his large-scale painting Untitled, 2015, the intricate, swirled pattern of marble is mimicked with gesso, a paint mixture traditionally used as a primer for canvases. By presenting a prepared, yet technically unfinished surface, the artist leaves room for our own […]

until 21.01. | #3683ARTatBerlin | ChertLüdde presents from 12. November 2022 the duo exhibition by the artists Zora Mann & Ozioma Onuzulike. Galerie ChertLüdde invites you to the vernissage of Zora Mann’s Nectar Hive and Ozioma Onuzulike’s Strings the Length of Our Palm’s Seal at ChertLüdde. ZORA MANN | Nectar Hive (Gallery One) Artist Zora Mann (Amersham, 1979) presents her latest exhibition Nectar Hive at ChertLüdde’s Gallery One. Mann, who has been represented by the gallery since 2015, joined the programme after retraining as an artist at the Villa Arson in Nice. There she cultivated a distinct painterly perspective of labyrinthine patterns combining abstract and figurative references from mythology, psychology, nature and more. In the exhibition Nectar Hive, loose figurations meet urban and honeycomb structures to form a complex network of origins and memories. From the artist’s bird’s eye view of her own life, Mann expands her abilities to create worlds in the upcoming exhibition. The works on display, which the artist began producing after her return to Villa Arson as part of the 2022 residency programme, break through both the two- and three-dimensional realms. Mann’s rich paintings are deeply personal yet distorted by the view of compound, kaleidoscopic prisms, […]

until 03.12. | #3680ARTatBerlin | WENTRUP presents from 28. October 2022 the exhibition “As Long as I Get Somewhere” by artist Jenny Brosinski. It is Jenny Brosinski’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. Jenny Brosinski’s paintings negotiate relationships with emptiness. They know that emptiness, like silence, can be deafening, but can also open up into something expansive that comes close to freedom. Brosinski works large, recently on canvases two or three metres wide, to extend the presence of the raw canvas on which she choreographs her gestures. Despite the bold crudeness of her marks, these patches of smudged pink oil or trailing lines of yellow spray paint do not seem like assaults on the canvas, but rather a way of navigating and emphasising its encompassing quality. This is not a confrontation, and as such it circumvents the approach of many gestural abstractions that tacitly position white space against the artist as an initiative showdown. Take, for example, the reverential attitude to the encounter that informed Robert Motherwell’s practice: “I find a blank canvas so beautiful that it inhibits me from working immediately […] and demands too much of me too quickly; so that I tend to ‘dirty’ the canvas and then […]

until 07.01. | #3679ARTatBerlin | 68 projects presents the exhibition “Before the Storm” by artist Johanna Reich from 05 November 2022. Johanna Reich’s first exhibition at 68projects, entitled “Before the Storm”, presents several groups of works in different media that explore the relationship between humans and nature, the digital and the physical, the immaterial and the material. Johanna Reich works at the interface between digital and analogue visual worlds. Many of her works are created on the basis of several years of research in which the artist investigates and changes gaps in history, complex backgrounds of coding such as the opaque influence of databases on the development of algorithms and the resulting image production. Again and again, she makes the process of artistic work visible as an interdisciplinary activity. She explores the boundaries of real, virtual and painterly imagery and draws attention to the effects of the fusion of the net world and the real world on our everyday lives in minimalist video performances. In terms of content, her works revolve around presence and absence, dematerialisation and disappearance, the visible and the invisible: who are we and what shapes our identity? What makes a person? What traces do we leave […]

until 26.11. | #3634ARTatBerlin | Loock Galerie presents from 14. October 2022 (Vernissage: 13.10.) the exhibition „Birds“ by the artist Cyrill Lachauer. LOOCK Gallery is pleased to announce that it is now officially representing artist and photographer Cyrill Lachauer. This Thursday, Lachauer’s solo exhibition opens at B-PART Exhibition, featuring for the first time his work Birds (Nat. Geo. 1989-1999), curated by Hans-Jörg Clement and supported by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Lachauer on his body of work: “As a teenager, I was given a complete National Geographic collection from 1989 to 1999 by a friend of my parents. Back then, the magazines were only available in English and it was still a time when print media had the resources for high-quality work. The magazines were a treasure for me as I was already travelling a lot, taking photographs and considering studying ethnology. When I was working on the cycle ‘The Adventures of a White Middle Class Man (From Black Hawk to Mother Leafy Anderson)’, 2016-2017 at Mississippi, I engaged with signs and symbols of the Hobos, the American figure of the wanderer. Not wanting to appropriate any of their symbols, also known as tines in German, I developed an abstracted, three-part form […]

until 12.11. | #3653ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin presents from 15. October 2022 the exhibition “Grass don’t grow on my land” by the artist Muhammad Zeeshan. In a series of exquisitely rendered miniature paintings, naked women appear in various encounters with wild animals and plants: communicating with an owl, lying within a large green leaf, or transposed onto the taxidermied head of a deer. These are the latest works by Pakistani artist Muhammad Zeeshan who continues his explorations into how women have been and continue to be objectified and disempowered. Grass don’t grow on my land, the title of the artist’s solo exhibition at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery in Berlin, refers to a lack of progress or change in terms of mindset rather than external developments. Through his vivid, dreamlike compositions, Zeeshan questions rigid gender roles and stereotypes that continue to be reinforced in contemporary cultures across the globe. Zeeshan cites this latest body of work as a direct continuation of his previous series titled Nangeli, which arose from the artist’s investigations into the 19th-century legend of a woman called Nangeli who supposedly cut off her breasts in protest of a caste-based ‘breast tax’. While the works in this latest […]

until 26.11. | #3647ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner presents from 8. October 2022 (Opening: 07.10.) the exhibition Nachsommer with latest works by the artist Carina Linge. For the development of her current photographic series, the Leipzig-based artist was a guest in a special house: In the medieval environment of the now Protestant monastery Lüne, she portrayed three conventual women. Personal realities and inner states of the protagonists play a role in the newly created, atmospherically charged images, as does the place, which is charged with traditions and stories. © Carina Linge, Lass leuchten Dein Antlitz, 2021, C-print on Dibond, 100 x 150 cm, courtesy: Jarmuschek + Partner Carina Linge was born in 1976 in Cuxhaven and lives in Leipzig. After studying art and German language and literature in Greifswald, she studied fine arts at the Bauhaus University Weimar with Prof. Elfi Fröhlich and Prof. Norbert W. Hinterberger. In 2007 and 2014 she received teaching assignments there herself. At the center of her photographic work is an expanded concept of portraiture. In the form of multi-part image tableaus and single images, Carina Linge develops psychogram-like portraits. Her scenographically arranged body images and associatively as well as symbolically charged still lifes not […]

until 29.10. | #3644ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kremers presents from 30. September 2022 the exhibition Berlin Blues by the artist Kevin Coyne. The internationally reknown artist Kevin Coyne (born 1944 in Derby, died 2004 in Nuremberg) became above all famous as a rock poet. He was even offered the succession of the early deceased Doors – front man Jim Morrison, which he rejected. When asked how he could refuse such an offer, he replied with the words “I hate leather clothes”. This willfullness is also evident in his visual language as Coyne was also very creative as a visual artist and writer until his death. He studied printmaking and painting at Derby College of Art. In the years that followed, he performed internationally on stage and was signed to well-known record labels such as Virgin Records. In the course of a life crisis accompanied by depression and alcoholism, he moved from London to Nuremberg in 1983, where he overcame the crisis and began another creative period with numerous drawings. Kevin Coyne, Angry Kevin Coyne died in Nuremberg in 2004. His art is strongly influenced by his experiences with mentally ill and drug-addicted people, whom he met as a social worker and […]

until 26.11. | #3641ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler in Potsdam shows from 6. October 2022 the exhibition Weiher with works by the artist Berit Mücke. These pictures, in which we think we can make out faces and visions, nature, animals, figurative scenes, fairy tales and dream figures, do not want to show anything. This painting wants to act. As possible soul-expanding. A series of works by the artist bears the title “Bruchbilder”. What can be perceived as a break is “an expression of an inner upheaval and a simultaneous glow into the dark, … without reassurance,” as the artist emphasizes. The sometimes roughened relief of the picture surfaces is thus not only due to the artist’s interest in painting, but is also the consequence of an existential response to the necessary impositions. Berit Mücke takes the risk of “throwing herself into the materiality”, of putting herself “into the fire as a component of the work process, in order to work out and transform what is actually important”. Berit Mücke, Veranda, 2022, Tempera oil on canvas, 100×80 In the world of fake Internet profiles, viewers soon get lost, too. In Berit Mücke’s portraits, we have nonvirtual profiles before our eyes that are […]

until 08.10. | #3558ARTatBerlin | Galerie Z22 presents from 29. September 2022 (Opening: 28.09) the exhibition „Cloudy Mirror“ by the artist Kati von Schwerin. The exhibition “Cloudy Mirror” by Kati von Schwerin at Galerie Z22 / Wilmersdorf aims to hold up a mirror to the visitors – as already noted in the title – and, with the help of the works presented, to encourage them to reconsider their individual actions and being and their pre-sketched concept of life. In reference to Albert Camus’ The Fall, von Schwerin wants to challenge the viewers to examine whether their own dreams and ideals still have a place in the current concept of life and whether bliss is still the appointed goal. Exhibition Kati von Schwerin, courtesy of Galerie Z22 Kati von Schwerin (born 1983) is a visual artist, musician/songwriter, author and podcaster. She studied painting at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Prof. Markus Lüpertz, as well as philosophy (B.A. and M.A.) at the HHU Düsseldorf and the HU Berlin. Since the beginning of 2020, she has also been working as a freelance writer for Titanic and runs the podcast “Derby WG” together with the musician Gregor McEwan. Kati von Schwerin’s work focuses on anthropology, […]

until 12.11. | #3631ARTatBerlin | Persons Projects presents the exhibition Gravity Experiments and Cyclic Phenomena by artist Niina Vatanen from 14 September 2022. Persons Projects is proud to present Niina Vatanen’s solo exhibition Gravity Experiments and Cyclic Phenomena, which thematically follows a previous exhibition at C/O Berlin. The focus is once again Vatanen’s series and publication Time Atlas (Kehrer Verlag, 2019), dedicated to the complexity of the human experience of time. Through the study of planetary motion and gravity, various omens, oracles, or religious prophecies, man has repeatedly explored his destiny and place in the universe and sought answers to existential questions. In this exhibition, Vatanen does the same – she has combined images from different archives to create a multi-layered visual essay on time. Since the early days of her career, Vatanen has explored, ‘seduced’ and challenged the mystery of time – today it is the core theme of her work. Time and again, the artist attempts to decipher the complicated workings and processes of time perception and interpret them artistically through collaging, collecting, archiving, as well as conceptual, ‘guided’ storytelling. In doing so, she incorporates numerous myths into her art-making, including that of the so-called ‘world ice’. This […]

until 22.10. | #3628ARTatBerlin | WENTRUP presents the exhibition “Praise Berlin” by the artist Karl Haendel. From 17 September  This is the third solo exhibition of the Los Angeles-based artist. This new body of work focuses on contemporary religious diversity and practice in Berlin and follows the project “Praise New York”, which took place at Mitchell-Innes & Nash Gallery in New York in the spring. In a series of large-scale, realistic drawings depicting the hands of some of the city’s most inspiring Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish or Muslim leaders, Haendel pays homage to a diverse group of pastors, imams, rabbis and priests. This project is not only about religious diversity, but also about ethnic and racial diversity. Berlin is becoming increasingly diverse due to the influx of immigrants. In addition to Catholic and Protestant residents, there is a large Muslim population, growing communities of Buddhists and Hindus, and a small but vibrant Jewish community. The artist shows how vibrant, welcoming and tolerant these faith communities are and hopes to give viewers space to rethink their own belief systems, accept the complexity and broaden their acceptance.   Karl Haendel | Helene Shani Braun, Abraham Geiger College, University of Potsdam | 2022 […]

until 29.10. | #3557ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin shows from 16. September 2022 the solo exhibition Counterfeit Poast by the artist Jon Rafman. Recent works by the artist Jon Rafman tap the creative potential of machine learning, continuing his longstanding practice of both applying the latest digital technologies and analyzing their impact on everyday life. Like much of Rafman’s recent output, the pieces created for this show explore themes of nostalgia, youth, and false memories, as well as isolation and the alienation of individuals from society. Exhibition dates: Friday, 16. September – Saturday, 29.

until 29.10. | #3625ARTatBerlin | Galerie Guido W. Baudach Show the exhibition The Selfish Shellfish by the artist Philipp Modersohn from 16 September 2022. where the inside is the outside and the outside is the inside, we decide to linger on, we decide to outlast, we decide to outlast. when the rock is the body, and the body is the rock, we decide to multiply, we decide to multiply, we decide to multiply.   Galerie Guido W. Baudach is pleased to present its fourth solo exhibition with Philipp Modersohn. Entitled The Selfish Shellfish, it features a new film of the same name and a new sculpture by the Berlin-based artist. Modersohn’s medially diverse practice can be understood as a poetic transformation of natural processes of sometimes earth-historical dimension, as an artistic attempt at an experimental dialogue with our non-human environment; endowed with subtle humour paired with self-irony as well as a pronounced sense for the beauty of the provisional. The film, which uses analogue and digital animation techniques, is the fictional self-portrait of a barnacle. The life of this shellfish, which has been found on our planet since time immemorial and is widespread throughout the world, begins as a larva that […]

until 29.10. | #3622ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler presents from 16. September 2022 at Bleibtreustraße 15/16 the exhibition “Works on Paper” by the artist Toby Ziegler. Galerie Max Hetzler presents Works on Paper, the second solo exhibition by William N. Copley at the gallery at Bleibtreustraße 15/16 in Berlin. Celebrated today for his unique contribution to post-war art, William N. Copley (1919–1996) arrived at his own practice through his friendships with artists from European Surrealism to American Pop Art. Bridging the gap but staying true to his own individual style, which was largely self-taught, the artist used flat colours, stark outlines and heavily simplified forms to create paintings rich in symbolism, allure and allegory. Not only a painter, but a writer, gallery-owner, collector, publisher and patron to the arts, his animated works abound with playful, baroque patterns and visual puns, combining politics, sex and satire under the signature CPLY. Throughout Copley’s work, his subjects and vocabulary remain consistent. The artist’s journey through life, gathering experiences, added increasing volume to flat forms, strengthening his line, and making the works more simple and direct. Themes of love and eroticism abound, with his open depiction of desire and sexuality in a repressed age, […]

until 31.12.| #3619ARTatBerlin | Galerie Brockstedt presents from 14. September 2022 (Opening: 06.10.) the exhibition “Die neue Freiheit – Abstraktion in Malerei und Skulptur 1917-2022” (The New Freedom – Abstraction in Painting and Sculpture 1917-2022) by the artists Willi Baumeister, Carl Buchheister, Walter Dexel, Otto Freundlich, Elana Gutmann, Volkmar Haase, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Vilmos Huszár, Callum Innes, Floris Jespers, Paul Joostens, Dirk Koning, Hannah Kosnick-Kloss, Ulrich Lindow, Lou Loeber, Jupp Linssen, Thilo Maatsch, Maria Brockstedt/Sarah Schumann, Rudolf Mauke, Henri Pfeiffer, Karl-Peter Röhl, Gust Romijn, Mark Safan, Lothar Schreyer, Kurt Schwitters, Shmuel Shapiro, Victor Vasarely and Kaifan Wang. The new freedom in art – starting from the Eastern European avant-garde and its representatives – such as Kandinsky, Malevich and El Lissitzky – found its starting point throughout Europe before the Second World War. After suppression, persecution and professional bans during the National Socialist era, it led to the new freedom of art in Western Europe after 1945. The magic of abstraction quickly became a political issue in the Cold War between East and West and is known today as the formalism debate. Under pressure from the Soviet Union, Socialist Realism prevailed in the GDR and the other Warsaw Pact states, whereas abstraction […]

until 15.10. | #3616ARTatBerlin | Esther Schipper presents from 9. September 2022 the exhibition by the artists Jacques Douchez and Norberto Nicola. Esther Schipper is pleased to announce a special presentation with historical works by Jacques Douchez and Norberto Nicola, organized with Olivier Renaud-Clément. Jacques Douchez and Norberto Nicola operated a collective studio, Atelier Douchez-Nicola, from 1959-1980. Inspired by tapestry as a three-dimensional form that combines finely woven natural fibers with abstract sculptural forms, their collaborative and independent textile work marks a key chapter in Brazilian art history. Inspired by his extensive travels, Nicola’s work often combines techniques and materials of indigenous cultures with those of European handicraft. For his part, Douchez’s dedication to abstraction is evident in balanced geometric constructions. Central to Norberto Nicola’s textile practice are the qualities of flexibility, tension, and elasticity, which the artist sought to capture in his work, as well as the use of mixed media. In addition to drawing on his training as an abstract painter, works by Nicola demonstrate the importance of intuition and touch. Sourcing all materials from within Brazil, Nicola studied techniques and gathered natural fibers used by different indigenous communities throughout the country. He was a particularly passionate student […]

until 20.10. | #3613ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tammen presents an exhibition of paintings by the artist Volker Leyendecker from 10 September 2022. In Volker Leyerdecker’s shows, playful forms of art are combined with playful forms of nature. Strange, hybrid amphibian-like creatures, two-headed fish float in glass containers, aligning themselves with the light falling into the glass from above. A huge stone floats in a largely undefined landscape, near and far at the same time. Portraits combine outside view and inside view, transillumination and skin, surface and interior. His faces show and conceal, they oscillate between face and mask and yet are the place where emotions can be depicted and acted out in the animated contour. In these landscapes as well as in the coffined hermaphrodites and in the portraits, the objet trouvé and objet projeté intertwine. They are taken from the world and the things that reside there, and yet they are incomparable. In the process, conventional boundaries between the categories of art and nature are reflected, undermined, brought to view. Seeing more, seeing anew, seeing differently. Volker Leyendecker’s work is always about the intricate and complicated relationship between representation, cognition and liveliness, between visibility and invisibility. At the same time, […]

until 18.11. | #3610ARTatBerlin | Galerie aKonzept shows from 14. September 2022 the exhibition “à notre seuil ne veuillez point toucher” (> our threshold, please do not touch) by artist Emanuelle Rapin. The pleasurable in-between As if embroidered by hand but archaically stabbed with a nail, the word SEUIL appears on an anthracite-coloured concrete building block. SEUIL in French means transition, threshold, but also evokes the idea of the border as well as the anticipation of departure. The outline of the five capital letters consists of perforations carved by hand into the concrete: a message, an invitation, a warning and also an actual gravitational experiment. The dot above the “I” is a precisely drilled hole through which a thread of elegant green pearl cotton yarn is pulled. The narrow circular path through the hard stone forms the mysterious passage between the ball of thread and the lead ball that seems to have tumbled down from the “I”. The weight attached to the end of the thread creates an anachronistically fragile yet robust tension. The length of the thread as well as the position of the spool of thread are variable, depending on how the work is set up. Meaning and […]

until 05.11. | #3606ARTatBerlin | ARTES Berlin presents from 14. September 2022 the exhibition Normaler Heldenalltag by artist Norbert Bisky. ARTES Berlin is showing more than 25 works by the artist Norbert Bisky in a solo show entitled “Normaler Heldenalltag”. The presented unique works, watercolours, editions and paintings shed light on the early work of the Berlin artist. Bisky is considered one of the most influential painters of the “New Figuration”. He grew up in the GDR and was influenced by the flood of images of socialist realism. He was encouraged by Georg Baselitz, whose master student he is, to deal with the images of his childhood. In 1995, the artist spent a year in Madrid and intensively studied the oeuvre of Francisco de Goya and Jusepe de Ribera. The massive, defined bodies typical of Baroque painting and their physical studies seem to have manifested themselves in the artist’s figurative vocabulary. He translates the propaganda of the Counter-Reformation into the present as a painter of modern martyrdoms, but without explicit depictions of violence. Norbet Bisky – Sombra His painterly excursions into landscape subjects and his exploration of portraiture and narrative structure place him in the tradition of great European painting. […]

until 29.10. | #3605ARTatBerlin | Buchmann Galerie shows from 3. September 2022 the exhibition “Portraits and Masks” by the artist William Tucker. Tucker’s preoccupation with the subject of the head in sculpture, oscillating between portrait and mask, between bust and form, is the focus of the artist’s fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. The first part of the exhibition offers insight into Tucker’s historical bronze scuelptures, while the second part concentrates on the most recent production of the British American sculptor and art theorist, who was born in 1935. The development of William Tucker’s bronzes since the 1980s was preceded by a fundamental break with his constructivist and minimalist practice, which had secured him a place among radical and avant-garde artists since the early 1960s. After a period studying intensively modernist sculpture and publishing theoretical texts in various art journals, in the mid-1980s, Tucker began to create modelled works in plaster that oscillate between figure and pure form and carry within them the subtle moment of transition from the amorphous mass from which they emerged to “legible” figures. The first part of the exhibition focuses on the group of Imaginary Portraits from 1997 and 1998. These sculptures mark an important […]

until 29.10. | #3601ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin presents from 15. September 2022 the exhibition “Grau ” (Grey) by the artists Carsten Nicolai and Albert Oehlen. The second half of the art year at Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin kicks off with a collaboration between Carsten Nicolai and the painter and installation artist Albert Oehlen. After the joint sound and light installation entitled Grau, which was presented last year in Switzerland, new canvas works by Carsten Nicolai and works on paper by Albert Oehlen have been created for the eponymous exhibition at the gallery.

bis 12.11. | #3599ARTatBerlin | RASCHE RIPKEN presents from 9. September 2022 the group exhibition “In So Fern” by the artists Zora Janković, Herbert Lammers and Walther Schwiete. The exhibition IN SO FERN brings together three artistic positions from the genres of architecture, still life and landscape. They clearly differ in medium and material, but pose questions – in their individual ways – about the pictorial effect and spatial relations of various objects. Zora Janković constructs architectural formations as sculpture and relief. Made out of concrete and steel, they do not follow any real buildings. Even though her works are not models in the proper sense, their rough shape is always reminiscent of monuments in the international style of Brutalism: Cast as a whole, the complex structures show manifold traces, which are mainly due to the panels of formwork – and are further enhanced by light, shadow and a varied interplay of different white and grey values. Herbert Lammers, Hole Vase, 2018, acrylic on canvas, 100 x 100 cm Herbert Lammers’ painting is influenced by photography, whereby he makes use of the specific qualities of this medium: Using the glazing technique, he paints individual objects of everyday use, including vases […]

until 29.10. | #3593ARTatBerlin | HazeGallery presents from 2. October 2022 the exhibition “Torso Reloaded” by the artist Nadine Dinter. HazeGallery presents Nadine Dinter’s solo exhibition Torso Reloaded opens on 1 October 2022. Dinter developed the concept in 2012 while working with New York photographer Christopher Makos, a long-time companion of Andy Warhol. For his exhibition Andy Dandy and Other Works, curated by Nadine Dinter at Galerie Hiltawsky, Makos travelled with, among others, former erotic art model and current tattoo artist Benjamin Godfre, who turned out to be an avid Warhol fan. Dinter and Godfre spontaneously decided to photographically recreate Warhol’s legendary Torso series from 1977. Exactly ten years later, the photographer has taken up the idea once again. While Warhol’s spirit continues to be the inspiration, Dinter’s latest project shines the spotlight on the different body types of the current generation of men. Alongside the first torso she photographed, of Benjamin Godfre, her images portray six representative men – from the professional model Benjamin Kühnemund and the photographer Traegi to a wrestler, a fitness instructor, a computer scientist, and fellow photographer Alexander Schuktuew.

until 29.10. | #3555ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kornfeld shows from 10. September 2022 the exhibition Fragments by the artists Tammam Azzam and Jonas Englert. For the first time, the exhibition Fragments jointly presents works by Tammam Azzam and Jonas Englert that deal with the reconstruction and recontextualisation of politically significant moments in history. In doing so, the works question not only how political decisions are made, but also what consequences these actions have. How regulations and agreements are made, which threats lead to which arrangements, treaties and agreements and how these are decisive for the change of history, not only for the present population but also for future generations. The authenticity of diplomatic gestures is also questioned. The works of both artists make us feel how society deals with political agreements, disagreements and decisions made. Jonas Englert’s works show this through video compositions and tableaux that use a variety of fragmentary images to show the diplomacy of political gestures, while Tammam Azzam’s large-scale paper collages seem to be composed of the debris of a conflict or dispute. Tammam Azzam‘s works convey an awareness of the importance of issues such as migration, war and violence. Destruction and reconstruction become vivid in images […]

until 24.09. | #3586ARTatBerlin | lorch + seidel contemporary presents from 1. September 2022 (artist reception: 09.09.) the exhibitions “The Secret of the Secret” by the artist Wilken Skurk. The exhibition is presented in the premises of aquabitArt in Auguststraße. Like the tentacles of a sea anemone underwater, two misshapen arms writhe in the airspace. In search of one another, they fail to make contact. At their ends are cubic forms in cast glass, their surfaces slightly concave or curved, their corners and edges gently rounded. The glass appears supple, pleasing to the touch. The two cubes seem to gaze at one another, like two faces. With air pockets in their heads. The viewpoint of the one seems higher than that of the other. Is it a question of dominance, or of convergence? Like the elusive arms, the geometrically beveled base consists of mirrored steel. In its reflected image, their relationship is continually repeated. Untitled, cast glass, mirrored steel, 60 x 60 x 40 cm, 2022 Comparable with glass casting, paint and varnish are applied in layers to the images, one layer after the next, or instead allowed to flow into one another, to some extent mixed using a paintbrush, […]

until 22.10. | #3583ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte presents from 17. September 2022 (Vernissage: 16.09.) the exhibition “Red Standing Moon” by the artist Kiki Smith. In its first exhibition of US artist Kiki Smith, Galerie Thomas Schulte is showing works from the last twenty years. Smith is one of the outstanding artists of our time and has created a multi-layered body of work that addresses sociopolitical, philosophical and spiritual dimensions of human nature. Her investigations of the body, the female body in particular, propose discourses of the human condition, also addressing the relationship to animals, nature, and the environment. The exhibition is curated by Dr. Petra Giloy-Hirtz Vernissage: Friday, 16. September 2022, from 6 to 8 p.m. Exhibition dates: Saturday, 17. September until Saturday, 22.

until 08.10. | #3578ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin presents from 3. September 2022 the exhibition “There is still tomorrow” by the artist Rufai Zakari. Ghanaian artist Rufai Zakari stitches together upcycled plastics to create textured, woven surfaces that bear a deep relationship to the land and local culture. Since his last exhibition with the gallery in London in 2021, Zakari has been forced to relocate permanently to Accra due to the resurfacing of tribal conflicts in his hometown of Bawku. However, rather than focusing on the hardships currently facing the local communities, Zakari’s latest works are a celebration of a vibrant past and a message of hope for the future. There is still tomorrow, the artist’s solo exhibition at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin, presents a bold new series of portraits that encapsulate this optimism. The figures appear relaxed and joyful as they pose proudly in bright, elaborate clothes or caught in playful, childish activities. The figures in Rufai Zakari’s works seem life-like in their three-dimensionality-when hung, they cast shadows on the wall behind them-but they also seem lost, detached from any sense of time and place. This sense of dislocation reflects the artist’s own situation as he finds himself […]

until 12.11. | #3576ARTatBerlin | Salongalerie Die Möwe presents from 2. September 2022 the exhibition „Zurück in die Stadt“ by the artist Katja Meirowsky. The title of our new exhibition “Katja Meirowsky – Zurück in die Stadt” (Back to the City) refers to the artist’s series of charcoal drawings of the same name from 1947 and to her return to Berlin twice: in 1945 from Polish exile and in 2000 from her almost five-decade-long stay on the island of Ibiza. The multi-talented artist Katja Meirowsky created an extensive body of painterly work, wrote poetic texts and had acting talent. In 1949, in the spirit of optimism of the post-war years, she was one of the founding and ensemble members of the legendary Berlin artists’ cabaret “Die Badewanne”, in which her close friends, the sculptor Waldemar Grzimek and the painters Werner Heldt and Heinz Trökes also took part. Werner Heldt betonte bereits 1951 die besondere Stellung der Künstlerin unter den malenden und zeichnenden Frauen in Deutschland. Er hob dabei die herausragenden Kompositionen ihrer Bilder sowie deren besonderes Kolorit hervor. Seit ihren Ausstellungen 1945 und 1949 in den Berliner Galerien Rosen und Bremer wurden ihre Werke in vielen internationalen Ausstellungen präsentiert, u.a. […]

until 08.10. | #3572ARTatBerlin | Crone Berlin presents from 3rd September 2022 the exhibition „Deflections“ by the austrian artist Stefan Reiterer. In structural engineering, deflection is the extent to which a part of a structural element warps under a specific load. If one looks at Stefan Reiterer’s artistic work, one could assume that it embodies a similar range and flexibly meets the “load” of his chosen medium: painting. Reiterer does not leave it at the classic, two-dimensional image because, in his eyes, it no longer exists. He creates fascinating entities that expand into space, oscillating between abstract form and blurred landscape. Again and again, similar image fragments appear, which are varied in the most diverse forms and aggregate states. One finds fogged structures, markings, and detailed aerial and satellite photographs, which Reiterer distorts digitally, prints out, paints, distorts again, paints again, and finally transfers to large wooden panels cut to the respective form. Courtesy of Galerie Crone, Berlin Wien Through this mode of production, the motifs experience the ultimate transformation process: arbitrarily stretchable, rotatable, and distortable, they enter a fluid state in which different image references morph into one another and become a digital fabric completely independent of time and […]

until 05.11. | #3569ARTatBerlin | Galerie kajetan Berlin presents from 10. September 2022  the exhiition “Shaping the Energy of Contained Spaces” by the artist Harry Leigh. Galerie kajetan presents the solo exhibition Shaping the Energy of Contained Spaces by the American sculptor and minimalist Harry Leigh (*1931) for the first time in Europe. On display are nine wall- and room-sized sculptures made between 1974 and 2020, which bear witness to Harry Leigh’s sensitive merging of two divergent natural materials in elegant, sometimes straight, sometimes curved lines. Harry Leigh, Shaping the Energy of Contained Spaces, Exhibition view Galerie kajetan Berlin 2022, Photo: Marcus Schneider Harry Leigh’s large-format wooden sculptures and assemblages of wood and brick, which seem to play around the room, present themselves as form-reduced wall and room drawings. While viewed from the front, the fine wooden limbs of the works give the room a contour and thus enclose it, this impression dissolves when the sculptures are viewed from the side, where they reveal their permeability.

until 15.10. | #3567ARTatBerlin |Esther Schipper presents from 09. September 2022 the exhibition “Radiant Exposures” by the artist Rosa Barba. Esther Schipper is pleased to announce Radiant Exposures, Rosa Barba’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. On view will be films and works using film as sculptural and painterly medium. In Radiant Exposures the artist introduces an exhibition architecture with two angled walls that steers visitors through the space and also provides a structure in which Barba’s films are screened and the artist’s sculptural works installed in a carefully orchestrated setting. Yet, signaling the importance of both film and sound as major themes in Rosa Barba’s practice, visitors will encounter the first—or last—work, Wire Piece, 2022, in the vestibule created by the wall element. Wire Piece, 2022 consists of a drum string, tightly strung/held between ceiling and column, which is touched—played, really—by a strip of film stock looped by a modified projector. Creating a silvery tone, the piece of celluloid takes on an unexpected role: a medium on which light encodes information, it doubles as a mechanical instrument producing sound. Once inside the space, the sound complements the sonic ensemble created by exhibition’s films, sculptural and performative objects, and “cinematic […]

until 29.10. | #3564ARTatBerlin | alexander levy shows from 16. September 2022 the exhibition Trans-Scenic Practice by the artist Mischa Leinkauf. Mischa Leinkauf’s interventions, videos and photographs deal with the hidden and forbidden possibilities of so-called public spaces and practice appropriation and subversion of just those spaces through artistic activity. Mischa Leinkauf, Physical Dialectics III, 2022, Archival Pigment Print, 150 x 200 cm, courtesy of the artist and alexander levy, copyright Mischa Leinkauf, VG Bild Kunst, Bonn, 2022 His latest series of works, entitled Physical Dialectics, was produced in the Ruhr region, Germany’s former coal and steel centre. For the series, Leinkauf gained access to the colossal architecture of the former and contemporary industry, cultural buildings and residential complexes and became an observer of a multi-layered juxtaposition of human labour over the last 100 years hidden vertically from deep underground to high up behind the modern glass and steel facades of post-industrial employment sectors. The connecting element is a figure seen from the back, less a romantic reference to the “Wanderer above the Sea of Fog” and more to the “Angel of History”, described by Walter Benjamin as one driven by the storm of the future looking back onto what happened […]

until 01.10. | #3551ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schindler in Potsdam presents from 18. August 2022 the exhibition FREEZE with new artworks by the artist Constantin Schroeder. As if frozen to ice, Constantin Schroeder’s protagonists stand before a dark wall, as if covered with pouring rain. Torn out of different worlds, mystical, fairy-tale, hyper-realistic or religious, with looks that no longer leave the recipient’s mind. With old master skills and almost always in a greatly reduced color palette (black / white) fantastic oil paintings with photorealistic details are created. It is about humanism, the human psyche and contemplative moods. Constantin Schroeder, Equilibrium II, Oil on canvas, 200×180 cm, 2021 In the current exhibition FREEZE Schroeder shows his virtuosity also in the representation of materiality. Venerable robes, in stiff-looking lace (Exposed) or soft-flowing silk, seem to ensnare and protect their owners. Constantin Schroeder, Exposed, Oil on canvas, 200 x 180 cm, 2021 Like a fashion designer removed from the world, the artist creates imaginary models reminiscent of the Middle Ages or the Renaissance without losing their absolutely contemporary effect.

bis 31.12. | #3542ARTatBerlin | janinebeangallery presents from 10. September 2022 (Vernissage: 09.09.) the exhibition “Contain yourself  (seriously)“ by the artist Peter Doherty. From September 9th to December 31st 2022 the solo exhibition „Contain yourself (seriously)“ featuring artworks by Peter Doherty will present mixed media, collages, original texts and typewriter art together with installation objects from the everyday life of the artist. As the frontman of the Libertines and the later Babyshambles, Peter Doherty, who was born in Hexham in 1979, is one of the most of rock music over the past 20 years. Although not quite as publicity, he is also continuously active in the field of visual arts. Already at the end of the 1990s, when Doherty and Karl Barât lived in a flat share, his ideas flowed into music, texts and pictures in equal measure. Peter Doherty portrait by Roger Sargent In 2007 Peter Doherty had his first solo exhibition in London. This was followed by exhibitions in Spain, France, etc. The group exhibition “You, Venus and I” in September 2018 was his first exhibition at the Berlin janinebeangallery and marked the beginning of the gallery’s collaboration with the artist. In June 2022, the artist’s memoirs were […]

until 03.09. | #3535ARTatBerlin | WENTRUP currently presents the exhibition “From Things to Come” by the artist Sophie von Hellermann. WENTRUP is pleased to present “From Things to Come,” our second solo exhibition with the German-British artist Sophie von Hellermann. This new body of work is inspired by the life and writing of the German liberal politician, writer, and industrialist Walther Rathenau. Alongside this gallery exhibition, von Hellermann has created a site-specific installation at Rathenau’s former Prussian palace, Schloss Freienwalde, in Brandenburg outside of Berlin. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the assassination of Walther Rathenau by far-right extremists. At the time of his murder, Rathenau was Germany’s foreign minister and remains, until today, the only Jew to ever hold that position. Sophie von Hellermann was commissioned to create a site-specific artwork for thesuite of rooms in Freienwalde. Historic photographs of the rooms as they looked at Rathenau’s time served as her starting point and inspiration. Using her typical characteristic expressive style and dynamic painting technique, the artist brought her subjective feelings, associations, and thoughts about Walther Rathenau and this place to the walls and ceilings of the palace. The canvases for the exhibition, which can now be seen at […]

The exhibition will be shown in the Uhlandstraße. “Kuanyun” is the name chosen by Zhang Mingfang as he started his new way of life as an artist. Despite having loved art ever since a student, Zhang only began devoting more time to his own artistic pursuits later on in life after working as an art operator in his own gallery— Yi An— in Shanghai. After making such compromises to life’s pragmatism, Kuanyun returns to what he has always loved the most, writing and drawing. Kuanyun His works read like a diary, as he uses the traditional Chinese way of drawing, ink and wash, to tell the story of our life in the moment, drawing inspiration from everyday life as well as literature. Kuanyun The quotidian quality of his works reflects the emphasis Kuanyun places on daily habits that accumulate over time. Being an avid reader since his late teens and drawing everyday for seven years (taking a piece of paper everywhere when his drawing […]

until 12.11. | #3431ARTatBerlin | BBA Gallery presents from 27. August 2022 the exhibition Digital Tenebrism by the artist Rómulo Celdrán. With his latest series of hyper-realistic paintings “Digital Tenebrism” (2020-now) Celdrán explores the Baroque tradition. The Tenebrists are known for their dramatic chiaroscuro painting. Deeply impressed by the paintings of the seventeenth century, Celdrán creates scenes inspired by Caravaggio, Ribera and Zurbarán. Instead of candlelight, however, the scenes in Celdrán’s paintings are lit only by mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, which are checked by the figures in the darkness of their domestic surroundings. Where silence pervades the unlit areas, the theatrical darkness in “Digital Tenebrism” leaves room for the viewer’s own imagination. In the artist’s words, “The darkness was no longer scary for me. It becomes an intimate space for meditation and reflection.” Rómulo Celdrán, Digital Tenebrism 2, 2021, Colour pencil, acrylic and ink on board, 95 cm x 64 cm / 38 x 25 inches, © Rómulo Celdrán / BBA Gallery Completing the exhibition are the latest hyper-realistic sculptures from the HI-RES body of works, a series of enlarged household gloves called SOLID. Using 3D computer modelling, HI-RES explores the relationships between the art object, which […]

until 24.09. | #3526ARTatBerlin | Galerie Deschler presents from 21. July 2022 (Opening: 20.07.) the exhibition Paradise Lost by the artist Patricia Waller. As in the “Innocent” exhibition, Waller, with her latest series of works entitled “Victims”, once again takes a hard look at various forms of worldwide violence against children, the weakest and most defenseless members of our society. In view of the seriousness of the topic, the artist deliberately dispenses with the ironic hyperbole and black humor, which are so often a hallmark of her works. Waller is not concerned with commenting on matters of current politics, even though she is very aware of the fact that art is always embedded within a political and social context. The relevance, however, of the visual language she selected for her recent works is chilling. Patricia Waller, Sunday, 2019, Wool, filling cotton, wire, styrofoam, plastic; crochet, 75cm, stick 155cm The corona crisis, with its sometimes very hard lockdowns, has again drawn public attention to the problem of domestic violence, to which children are so often exposed. With families being isolated in confined spaces over extended periods of time, there was an increase in emotional and physical violence. Reports of sexual abuse […]

until the end of August | #3523ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kremers presents from 15.

The exhibited works cover a wide range of artistic styles reaching from the material-loaded, almost physical paintings by Natascha Mann and Howard Sherman and the wall sculptures by Reiner Zitta to the very precisely composed abstract works on paper by the American artist Juan Logan, from the playful experimental compositions by the Canadian artist Fiona Ackerman from her “Glasslands” series up to the masterfully staged mythological and cosmologicals stories by Uwe Bremer and the fantastic landscapes by the Dusseldorf-based artist Paul Schwietzke or the enigmatic, genre-style landscape paintings by Timur Celik or Jan Gemeinhardt, just to name a few, everything is presented here – including works by Gregor Hiltner and Natascha Mann who execute all styles mentioned above.

until 13.08. | #3520ARTatBerlin | ARTCO Galerie Berlin presents from 16. July 2022 the exhibition “could be any place…” with photographies by the artist Lukas Korschan. The exhibition ‚could be any place…‘ by Lukas Korschan is a visual research on today’s mundane spheres of solitude and conformity across the world – physical as well as of digital nature – and a quest for the glimpses of romance, beauty and poetry within. An ongoing chase for the butterfly. Lukas Korschan, Central Station, 2021 Presenting outtakes from his first book, Lukas enquires the exchangeability of airports, hotels or shopping malls and their meaning to both the individual and society. We see busy travelers commuting in front of graphic backdrops of an unknown airport. The skyline of New York, flowers in Peru, colorful fabrics in Uganda. He is framing moments that can possibly take place anywhere in the world and yet set the tone of modern identity. Lukas Korschan, Airport, 2020 Holding on to our smartphones as the one thing we have in common, we receive streamlined communication and targeted advertising – hoping for that one text message from your loved one that brings you back to reality. Lukas Korschan, Bus, 2019 During […]

until 22.08. | #3517ARTatBerlin | PSM Gallery shows from 2nd July 2022 (Opening: 01.07.) the exhibition Stone’s throw by the artist Manon Awst. Stone’s throw (Tafliad carreg) is a solo exhibition by Welsh artist Manon Awst presenting new sculptural assemblages exploring the material dynamics of leisure and tourism. Living on the coast of North Wales, the artist is familiar with the traffic of people and things that holiday season entails – folding chairs and sleeping bags, inflatables and disposable barbecues, sand and stickiness mixed with favourite playlists. Her interest lies in the way these materials stick to the landscape long after the holidays are over creating strange strata of infrastructure and meaning. Opening: Friday, 1 July 2022, 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. Exhibition dates: Friday, 29 April – Saturday, 14 May 2022     Image caption title: Manon Awst.

until 30.07. | #3514ARTatBerlin| Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung presents from 1st July 2022 the exhibition Duett: Zaunkönig und Strassenköter (Duet: Wrens and Street Dogs) with drawings by the artist James Bockelman. During his month-long stay in Berlin from January to now, James Bockelman absorbed the atmosphere of the city. Two portfolios of drawings now face each other in the exhibition. Called Street Dogs, they capture both the visual character of the posters and the meandering process of tracking down and sifting through potential drawing material. Dog-eared and chewed around the edges, the history of the weather remains visible on these posters as a built-in system: wrinkles, dried glue and road debris lie on the surfaces. Dragging a black permanent marker back and forth is not an annulment, but a means by which these three-dimensional qualities become more apparent. The marker mimics the passage of time. It is a pace that registers the subtle and not so subtle irregularities of surface wear and transforms the real texture into a two-dimensional image. Schattenparken, Graphit, Aquarell auf Papier, 37 x 27,5 cm Wrens is the second title of small-format notations on moleskin, a sketchbook paper. This paper does not accept […]

until 20.08. | #3511ARTatBerlin | janinebeangallery presents from  16. July 2022 (Opening: 15.07.) the exhibition „Das Wunderland fehlte mir“ (Missing the Wonderland) with paintings by the artists Andrea Damp, Maxwell Dunlop, Petra Rintelen, Arny Schmit and ceramics sculptures by Beate Höing. In her painting, Andrea Damp subtly maintains a balance between abstraction and figuration. Her works are created in a sophisticated process of layering and overlapping that makes the sensual process of becoming a picture tangible. With the use of figurative elements, the painter transforms her compositions into narrative associative pictorial worlds that are characterised by atmosphere and emotional expression. Andrea Damp’s painting thus forms an incomparable link between the autonomy of colour and its abilities in the service of the image. Andrea Damp, Flügelstaub, 2021, Oil and acrylic on canvas, 40 x 30 cm In the paintings of the US artist Maxwell Dunlop, atmospheres of peculiar gravitation meet spaces that both narrate with tension and open up a vast, silent timelessness. On the one hand, his spaces are vast, open natural landscapes with mountains and skies full of clouds that stretch down into the valleys. On the other hand, Dunlop shows interiors of magnificent halls and representative foyers of […]

until 27.08. | #3508ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin presents from 2. July 2022 the exhibition Opaque Surfaces with new works by the artist Michail Pirgelis. In his complex artistic practice, the artist approaches the subject of sculpture through various levels. His exhibited works oscillate between object, drawing and painting and radically expand our experience of the sculptural. Exhibition dates: Saturday, 2. July – Saturday, 27.

until 06.08. | #3505ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler shows from 24. June 2022 in the Goethestraße 2/3 the exhibition with paintings by the artist Robert Holyhead. British painter Robert Holyhead is known for his abstract paintings in semi-translucent colours, that actively engage with how to paint in the present moment. Having previously worked on delicate, small-size formats, the artist has, in recent years, changed his approach towards painting on a larger scale. His original enquiry remains the same, but the diferent format allows him to innovate and to develop the vocabulary of his work in a new context. Holyhead spends many months preparing for the works. During this time, his studio practice transforms from the treatment and priming of the canvas surfaces, to drawing or painting in watercolours on paper, until he arrives at the point at which the paintings are ready to be made. During this lead-up, spatial decisions are rigorously tested, and ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ visual components meticulously balanced. The paintings are created in long single sessions, not unlike durational performances. Each work is produced in a specifc selection of slightly transparent colours, showing visible traces of brushstrokes that operate around precisely located shapes of immaculate white ground. […]

until 16.07. | #3503ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner shows from 23. April 2022 (Opening: 22.06.) the group exhibition J+1. Each of the artists in the gallery program not only presents a current work of their own, but also introduces a selected guest. Each of these constellations reveals something personal about the artists, opens up individual perspectives on their artistic positions, and beyond that – and above all – a fascinating and self-selected dialogue. Mutual references can be observed just as much as shared artistic views or conducted discourses. Artists: PATRICK CIERPKA + MIRIAM VLAMING, DAVID EAGER MAHER + LAITH MCGREGOR, OLIVER GRÖNE + LARS TEICHMANN, FAISAL HABIBI + TROMARAMA, HELENA HAFEMANN + PHILIPP NEßLER, INGA KERBER + MIRJAM JACOB, CARINA LINGE + KATRIN BRAUSE, PETRA LOTTJE + HANNA HENNENKEMPER, ELISA MANIG + MAX WEISTHOFF, HARDING MEYER + ENRICO BACH, MICHAEL MERKEL + SEBASTIAN WANKE, MORITZ SCHLEIME + FABIAN SEYD, JĀNIS ŠNEIDERS + KRISTINE UPITE, MALWINE STAUSS + CIHAN CAKMAK, FRANZISKA STÜNKEL + TIMM ULRICHS, CORINNE VON LEBUSA + KATHRIN THIELE, MAJLA ZENELI + ANKE BECKER Opening: Wednesday, 22.

until 23.07. | #3501ARTatBerlin | Michael Reid Berlin presents from 24. June 2022 the posthumous exhibition “Destiny” with works by the artist Mr. Wanambi. ‘DESTINY’ encompasses the multi-disciplinary work of the revered Yolŋu artist, leader, and innovator MR WANAMBI. From NFTs and etched, reclaimed road signs to painted eucalyptus barks, the exhibition represents contemporary Aboriginal art at its most vital. Mr. Wanambi, Destiny, Detail In early 2022, the Michael Reid team began working towards a solo exhibition with renowned Yolŋu artist Mr Wanambi, alongside the Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre in Yirrkala.
