Nina Ansari

Nina Ansari

Nina Ansari was born in Teheran in 1981. She lives and works in Berlin.

Nina Ansari’s artistic activities are characterized by a thematization of topoi like identity or remembrance – thereby corresponding to very different kinds of artistic expression and media: recently having begun to make film, Ansari has developed a wide ranging photographic oeuvre, whose overwhelming effects of both elegance and criticality stem (….) reminds us of a tradition of Iranian artists like Shirin Neshat or Parastou Forouhar. Yet Ansari is more distanced from the direct political implications and more concerned with the further filiations of her own inner images. That’s why she has no reservation even about tendencies towards spheres of fashion, dance or performance within her sujets, which leave an ambiguous or merely magical touch to the viewer. (Dr. Prof. Christian Janecke)

KW Institute for Contemporary Art

KW Institute for Contemporary Art aims to approach the central questions of our times through the production, display, and dissemination of contemporary art. Since its inception, 25 years ago, KW has established itself, not only as an institution, but also as a dynamic and lively space for progressive practices within the Berlin art scene, as well as in an international context. By means of exhibitions and various event formats, KW has aligned itself towards the current tendencies of the national and international art and cultural discourse, and has actively developed them on a collaborative level with artists, institutions, and by means of commissioned works. As an institution for contemporary art without a collection of its own, the team at KW maintains a high degree of flexibility in creating its programs and addressing its audience. Under the responsibility of director Krist Gruijthuijsen, the current program evolves around the central objective of using the participating artists’ perspective as a starting point, entailing their subjects and points of view as ways to reflect on social and political issues. The institution is thereby conceived as a social space that facilitates contemplation and exchange between different protagonists and cultures, consistently challenging its audience.

Kunsthaus Dahlem

Kunsthaus Dahlem is an exhibition venue for postwar German modernism (East and West). It is administered and operated by Atelierhaus Dahlem, a non-profit subsidiary of the Bernhard Heiliger Foundation founded in 2013. Located at the edge of the Grunewald, the building was open as an exhibition venue in summer 2015 after a renovation and dismantling in accordance with historic preservation standards. There will also be a permanent exhibition on the building’s eventful history, free-of-charge to visitors. One essential area of concentration of the exhibition venue is the presentation of sculpture, supplemented by painting, prints and drawings, and photography. It focuses in particular on the years from 1945 to 1961. The museum is located on Käuzchensteig in Berlin-Dahlem.     Photo: Kunsthaus Dahlem, Foto: Jürgen Pleuser, 2015.
