New Jersey - Marc Vallée & SHADWELL BASIN/ GORDON HOUSE, TOWER HAMLETS 2019-23. - JAVIER GALERA
2024-07-25 19:00 - 2024-07-28 20:00 (Europe/Berlin) | ReTramp
Marc will present a series of prints from his photobook 90s Archive: Volume Two of American youth. The book tells the stories of young men, skaters and surfers he met in the mid-90s on the south New Jersey shore. The book is held in the collections of Tate Britain, the Martin Parr Foundation and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP) in Paris.
Javier will be showing a series of photographs from his latest installation project Aquascaping, curated and produced by creative label Katharsis. Combining digital prints with found everyday objects, Aquascaping explores notions of community and home, capturing the summer months at Shadwell Basin, London – a mass of water in urban East London that acts as a beach for the residents during the hottest days of the year.

Doomsday Graphics Vernissage
2024-08-02 17:00 - 22:00 | Nowhereland Tattoo Studio
Vernissage of Doomsday Graphics art prints exhibition.
https://www.instagram.com/doomsday_graphics
https://doomsdaygraphics.bigcartel.com/
„Doomsday Graphics is my brainchild, pseudonym, and tool to explore the realm of dark surrealism by allowing it to merge, reflect, and relate to the reality I live in. It started as my attempt to stay sane in the midst of the wars and crises that ruled my country of origin during the last decade of the 20th century. Not as an escape from that reality, but more as a way to process it. Far away from galleries and official cultural institutions of that time, which focused on promoting art and culture acceptable to the party in power and their nationalistic warmongering ideas, I began publishing my illustrations in xeroxed publications and fanzines circulating in the underground DIY music scene of the 90s. Since then, my work has been strongly influenced by DIY ethics, relying on my own resources, networking with like-minded people, and collaborating in the production and presentation of our work. Most of the prints presented in this exhibition were silk-screen printed in my home studio in Neukölln, Berlin, over the last four years. Most of the images in these prints also originate from the same period. They are echoes, distorted mirrors of a reality not so different from the one that inspired me in the last decade of the 20th century, processed from a somewhat safer distance, though.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Nowhereland Tattoo studio for inviting me and sharing their space for this exhibition. Likewise, I’m truly thankful to all of you who support my work in any way.“

Andy Warhol's Garden Party Vol 3
2024-09-01 14:30 - 20:30 | Bauhütte Kreuzberg e.V.
ANDY WARHOL’S GARDEN PARTY VOL III
Sonntag, 1. September 2024, 14:40 – 20:30 Uhr
Frieda Süd / Bauhütte Kreuzberg – Friedrich Straße 18 / 19 – 10969 Berlin
Live: Neoangin, Grateful Cat, Twins in Color
DJs: Olli Goolightly, Future Sailor, Sunshine Schmitt
2024 is clearly dominated by Andy Warhol. While the battleships of high culture, the National Gallery and Fotografiska, are primarily dedicated to a museum presentation of Warhol’s work, the best place to get that “factory feeling” is at the ANDY WARHOLS GARDEN PARTY:
Pop meets Art on a green island in Berlin Mitte/Kreuzberg called Frieda Süd with free admission.
On Sunday, September 1, the area on Friedrichstraße will once again be a place where art and music meet. In the spirit of the Factory, Frieda Süd will be transformed into Andy Warhol’s garden party with 3 bands, 3 DJs and lots of art activities.
Rarely have pop and art come so close as at the shows by Neoangin, Twins in Color and Grateful Cat, all stylishly framed by DJs Future Sailor (What Difference Does It Make/My Little Underground), Olli Goolightly and Sunshine Schmitt. Great prizes can also be won at the factory bingo and at the “15 minutes of game” – the Andy Warhol quiz with Jenny Zylka.
But that’s not all. Campbell soup cans will be hanging in the trees and Art Frieda Basel awaits you in a circus tent with several artists who will be printing or ironing their motifs live on your shirt.
Kommt vorbei, it’s a happening! And it’s for free.
Lediglich Soli-Beiträge bei den Getränke-, Speisen-, Los- und Kunst-Käufen.

Sukhishvili in Berlin!
2024-10-28 18:00 - 21:00 | Theater am Potsdamer Platz
28. Oktober, 19:00
Theater am Potsdamer Platz, Berlin
‘Try jumping up and doing a figure in the air, then landing on the floor directly on your knees, jumping up immediately and doing it again and again! Do a spin while standing on your toes in soft boots, so fast that no one can recognise your face. And then immediately drop to your knees and gyrate around the perimeter of the stage.
At the same time, charm the beautiful ladies, who look calmly and coquettishly at your courageous dance as you strive to win their favour.’
The Washington Post (USA)
Immediately after its foundation, the Sukhishvili dance group began to perform all over the world, surprising people of many nations of the world.
Over 90 million spectators have seen their live shows – and they have enjoyed their success for more than a century.
The group performs around 300 shows a year. Millions of spectators attend their performances in sold-out venues in over one hundred countries around the world, where, despite the diversity of languages, the name of the Sukhishvili Group, whose concerts never leave the audience without striking and fiery emotions, is read with pleasure.

When pixels come to an end
2024-12-27 14:00 - 18:00 | Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin, Germany
Since 2019, Nico and the Navigators and Yui Kawaguchi have called into existence fragile yet timeless worlds of symbiosis between dance, movement and digital projections. But soon, on 01.01.2025, these realities come to an abrupt end: the hardware used to enter them (Magicleap 1 glasses) falls silent as the security servers in the USA are switched off. What remains are traces that carry the work into the future, a digital afterglow that is present but no longer visible.
In a two-week installation, we bid farewell and invite reflection: How do we create digital archives that enable us to look to a future beyond ephemeral hardware? The space between man and machine becomes a mirror of our own transience. Join us in the swan song for something that has only just begun!

REST
2025-01-03 15:00 - 19:00 | Oranienstrasse 46, 10969 Kreuzberg, Germany
REST
Nuria Fuster, Tom Früchtl, Peter Scior
Opening: 2024, November 29th, 7 pm
Exhibition: 30.11.2024 – 11.01.2025
The English word “rest” refers in German to what is left. In the exhibition “REST” the three artists use temporary situations in their special living spaces as an opportunity for their work. From the seemingly irrelevant, overlooked aspects of their personal environment, they each develop their own visual language in which the traces of change and transition are discussed.
On the one hand, testamentary relics from other times are transferred to new contexts, and on the other hand, temporal processes themselves become the focus of attention.
The resulting „habitats“ are fragile intermediate stages whose vulnerability comes from a fluid reality and whose existence only represents a pause between the before and the after.
Nuria Fuster’s installations create fragile balances from found, unmanipulated architectural relics through targeted interventions. Her photographs explore physical and chemical transformations through the confrontation of various elements.
Tom Früchtl’s pictures create traces of use and decay in complex compositions using the classic means of painting. His objects also simulate similar processes and thereby create a new artificial reality.
Peter Scior’s images address tents as an archetype of human habitat and as a stage of transition. As a fragile and provisional architecture of a “second skin”, they focus on the lighting situation, which is the actual subject of his paintings.

“In Mary Katharine Tramontana’s Serious Pleasures poetry is hyper-explicit—both sensual and intellectual—and in that sense closest to Pasolini’s destruction and reaffirmation of poetic sublimation. Her poetics of submission give the reader the option of experiencing subjecthood in either position.” Toni Hildebrant, co-editor of PPPP: Pier Paolo Pasolini Philosopher
Against the backdrop of a new era of sexual regression across the political spectrum, Tramontana’s poetry and photography remind us that sex is a fundamental way of being human. Reclaiming her eroticism from her Catholic upbringing and global, secular anti-female sexuality dogma, her corporeal self-portraits and photography series of young bisexual men, Boys (2023-ongoing), offer a queer perspective on art history’s legacy of the male artist desiring the female body.
“The disciplining mechanisms of misogyny vary from country to country, but one consistent tenet is that a woman’s value is determined by how hard it is to fuck her. I wanted to create a body of work purely for my gratification,” Tramontana said. “As a poet, I’m in a submissive position to my desire. As a photographer, I intentionally objectify my male subjects in a power play that excites us both—they like that I am fully clothed while they’re in a state of undress—but I refer to them as my subjects. The process of our shared spontaneous attention in this moment of social media commodification—Simone Weil said, ‘Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity’—is just as vital to me as the portrait.”
“Serious Pleasures: Poems of Lust and Longing” is writer (New York Times, Esquire) and artist Mary Katharine Tramontana’s debut collection of poetry, accompanied by original photography. The collection began as a letter she wrote to seduce an incapacitating on-again off-again lover—a glamorous and mysterious Milanese neighbour.
Mary Katharine Tramontana (b. 1982, US) is a Berlin-based artist, poet, and writer whose work on sexual politics and art has appeared in the New York Times, Esquire, Playboy, the Guardian, the Atlantic, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. She’s collaborated with Reina Sofía, the Spanish Film Archive, WILZIG Museum, Arsenal Institute, and Academy of Arts Berlin, among others. In the past year, she’s exhibited photography in five shows in Miami, Berlin, and Savannah, and given several talks on sexuality and culture. The recipient of a Frieze bursary, she’s also worked as a sex research assistant at Kinsey Institute. This spring she’ll be in residence at Villa Lena to write her first non-fiction book co-written with Erika Lust and published in English, French, Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and German.

Opening of The Western Horizon by Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir
2025-01-17 17:00 - 20:00 | Joachimstr.17, Berlin, Germany
Gallery Gudmundsdottir is proud to present The Western Horizon, the first solo exhibition by Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir at the gallery, opening on January 17, 2025. This exhibition brings together a collection of recent and new works that Gunnlaugsdóttir describes as a “still life of Western culture,” offering an exploration of contemporary cultural narratives and the tensions that define them.
The exhibition features three large-scale works that are both interconnected and distinct, each challenging perceptions of cultural symbols and their associated meanings. Using a minimalist palette of primary colors—yellow, red, and blue—accented with black and white, Steinunn creates a visual clarity that amplifies the conceptual depth of her pieces. Her works invite reflection and dialogue, dissecting the layers of Western identity and its historically complicated relationship with the rest of the globe.
Born in Iceland in 1983, Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir is a visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses sculpture, video, sound, and installation. After earning her BFA from the Iceland University of the Arts in 2008, she participated in the prestigious HWP Art Program at Ashkal Alwan in Beirut, Lebanon (2013–2014). She was nominated as Iceland’s “Artist of the Year” in 2018 and received the Richard Serra Fund Award in 2021 for her groundbreaking contributions to sculpture.
At the core of Steinunn’s work lies an exploration of the human existential struggle—how individuals confront, resist, or surrender to the material and intangible structures shaping their existence. Her practice examines the tension between autonomy and control, offering a poignant commentary on the human condition within societal frameworks.

COMPLETE BASIC DECOR
2025-01-17 19:00 - 22:00 | Lobeckstr.30-35, 10969 Berlin, Germany
The artists Jan Brokof and Verena Issel invite you to their joint exhibition COMPLETE BASIC DECOR – a large joint spatial installation that focuses on dialogue and artistic overlaps.
The starting point of the installation are jointly selected works by the two artists, in which their artistic positions touch and overlap. These works enter into a visual dialogue with a specially developed wall installation made of clay paper and woodcut. In a creative ping-pong game between the selected works and the expansive installation, a complete work is created that dissolves the boundaries between individual work and spatial staging.
The exhibition shows a diverse interplay of materials, techniques and perspectives and invites visitors to discover connections and contrasts.

Offene Ausstellung: »Masses« von Ed Atkins
2025-02-02 11:00 - 15:00 | Bismarckstraße 35, 10627 Berlin, Germany
In the Rangfoyer of the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
Admission is free.
Ed Atkins is attracted to the costumes from the Deutsche Oper Berlin’s collection in a special way: the masses of different fabrics in their dense array on sober clothes rails are like a compressed storehouse of stories and memories. Each individual item of clothing would tell its own story if it were taken down from the rack: about the opera in which it was used, about the people who wore it and about the dreams that it triggers in everyone who looks at it. For him, this analogue part of his installation forms the counterpart to his video installations, which stage fragments of stories from today’s flood of digital media images, some bizarre, some disturbing. This tension between costumes, opera stories and current films forms the narrative core of Ed Atkins‘ work as a visual and narrative artist – he is also a contributor to the libretto of Rebecca Saunders’ world premiere of LASH on 20 June 2025 on the stage of the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
Ed Atkins is one of the most versatile British artists of his generation and has attracted international attention as a visual artist, author and filmmaker. Ed Atkins lives and works in Copenhagen.

The background and history of the dishes – We will share stories about our connection with them, and the surprising lessons they can teach us about plant-based cooking.
Customizing your pastas and sauces – Along the way, we will pass down our own knowledge with tips and tricks on the pasta-making process—on ingredient choices, adjusting flavors, and preparation techniques.
What’s included:
Hands-on guidance to make the pasta and sauces at the workshop.
Zine with all the recipes, plus access to a PDF version.
A dinner with wine, lots of pasta, and good music.

Periods: Everyday Life, Discourse & Activism (Exhibition Tour)
2025-02-15 13:00 - 14:30 | Museum Europäischer Kulturen
Join me, Danielle Keiser, a globally recognized menstrual health expert and advocacy leader, for an engaging, eye-opening exploration of 🩸Flow: The Exhibition on Menstruation 🩸 at the Museum of European Cultures (Museum Europäischer Kulturen).
This guided tour will illuminate how menstrual products, cultural taboos, and activism have shaped the experiences of women and people who menstruate over the past two centuries—and where the path to “menstrual equity” stands today.
Through stories, hands-on exhibits, and over 200 objects—including historical advertisements, menstrual products, and contemporary social media posts—we’ll delve into 4 key areas:
– The biological background of menstrual health (I bet your biology teacher never taught you this!)
– The evolution of menstrual products and undergarments since the 19th century.
– The shifting cultural narratives, discourses, modern knowledge and myths
– The vibrant role of pop culture and art in breaking period taboos and driving activism.
Discover how menstruation, though an everyday reality for billions, has remained hidden in plain sight and how movements for period positivity and activism are driving change.
This tour offers a unique chance to engage with menstruation’s often-overlooked history and culture while envisioning a more inclusive future.
Duration: 90 minutes | Language: English
Cost: 20-25 Euros
Please arrive 10 minutes early.

CRONENBERG'S GARDEN - exhibition feat. Emeli Theander & Aline Schwörer at SomoS
2025-02-25 18:00 - 2025-03-08 21:00 | SomoS
SomoS Arts, in collaboration with Curator-in-Residence Lindsay Inglis, is pleased to announce the exhibition Croneberg’s Garden, featuring the works of visual artists Emeli Theander and Aline Schwörer.
About the Exhibition:
Through the visual dialogue of sculpture and painting, the exhibition explores the changing relationship between humanity and the natural world. Building upon the themes such as human body fascination, physical transformation, technology, surrealism, and obscurity present in the artistic work of Canadian director David Cronenberg, the exhibition examines the complexities of the body’s relationship with the environment.
Theander’s paintings conjure dreamlike landscapes in which figures blend into their surroundings, dissolving the boundaries between the individual and the external world. In contrast, Schwörer’s sculptures evoke artifacts of an imagined future that visualize the Anthropocene, where human actions have led to the disappearance of traditional ecosystems.
Event Details:
Opening reception: Tuesday, February 25, 2025 6 – 9 p.m.
Exhibition duration: Wednesday, February 26, 2025 – Saturday, March 8, 2025, 2- 7 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday, or by appointment
Free entry
Location: SomoS – Kotbusser Damm 95, 1.0G, 10967 Berlin
U8 – Schönleinstraße

Opening Ayoung Kim. Many Worlds Over
2025-02-27 19:00 - 22:00 | Invalidenstraße 50, 10557 Berlin, Germany
Ayoung Kim’s (b. 1979 in Seoul, Korea) first solo exhibition in a German museum spans over the past five years of her artistic practice.
Admission to the events is free. Registration not required.
Using Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, video, game simulations, sculpture, and sonic fiction, Ayoung Kim creates expansive fictional universes with their own temporal and spatial laws. Her works are often linked together by speculative narratives that are still connected to the actual world that we live in and the viewers themselves are transformed into spectators as well as first person players, controlling the narrative from their own point of view.
Her subjects are humans, characters, mythological beings and virtual entities who cross the boundaries between different possible realities, making possible and impossible worlds collide across different times and spaces. Ayoung Kim’s exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof explores themes like migration, xenophobia, queerness, and geopolitics and looks closely at the symbiosis between data, humans, and the planet.

Tiny Noise Vol.V
2025-02-28 19:00 - 22:00 | Nowhereland Tattoo Studio
28th February
7pm
@tiny.noise Vol.V is coming soon with two acts of sonic chaos:
@cate0hops, researcher of bass-heavy underground music and experimental electronics and the enigmatic electronic alchemist Martin Howse @microresearchxx will be play the raw power of sound.
Join us to another evening of noise and experimental electronics that will push the boundaries of your auditory experience.
Door open at 7pm
wienerstrasse 36, 10999 kreuzberg Berlin
Entrance by donation
@Cate0hops
Cultural activist with a feminist approach dedicated to bass heavy underground music and experimental electronics.
She seamlessly shifts between scenes and genres, drawing from a foundation in roots and dub, progressing through UK bass-related sounds and techno, and venturing into experimental forms of contemporary electronic and electro-acoustic music. As a live performer, she explores the realm of noise improvisation.
With her ongoing project, “Sound System Culture: On the Radical Roots of Rave,” she initiates events that actively engage the audience. Her radio show provides a platform for dialogue and discovery, inviting guests from her network to share their musical perspectives and favorite tracks.
Eugenia is Co-founder of the Fem*noise network and currently a PhD candidate at the DFG Emmy Noether Research Group “Sound System Epistemologies: Knowledge Engendered Through Practice”
@microresearchxx
Martin Howse is occupied with an investigation of the links between the earth (geological and geophysical phenomena), software and the a/human psyche (psychogeophysics) through the construction of experimental situations (performance, laboratories, walks, and workshops), material art works, instruments, fictions, texts and software.
Orphans and voids remains as a headless divination for obscure Eurorack assemblages (ERD/TOAD, FUSE, caput draconis and all the colours of the noise), for scattered concrete modules, including dismembered macros, abandoned ergotic pyrotechnics, printed circuit incense clocks, micro-pulsed laser, dusty smoking CPUs, and ill programmed, ill abstracted, ill simulated neurons.
The orphans are the last two Earth Branches (xu and hai), the two that remain after the Ten Stems are combined with the first ten branches. The voids are their two opposites plotted on a circle: the stems chen and si.
The only place where the two systems link is at the hole in the centre, which means that they link in a nowhere, or in a hole. This mysterious hole between the two worlds is in a one-sided way also represented in the Chinese incense clock.

TALK: Exhibition Ecologies
2025-02-28 19:15 - 20:30 | Künstlerhaus Bethanien
Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in research both in exhibition studies and in environmental humanities, particularly at the intersection of art and ecology. However, a cohesive interdisciplinary field combining these two areas has yet to be fully established.
The Working Group “Exhibition Ecologies” was founded in 2024 with the aim of examining exhibitions through the lens of ecological perspectives and to create an international research network of scholars dedicated to this topic. The group responds to the urgent need for developing suitable methodologies and theories to address the intricate intersection of exhibitions and ecologies, focusing on aesthetics, epistemologies, infrastructures, and ideologies. The members and critical friends convene for this purpose to a second work meeting in Berlin in 2025.
Two public lectures will take place in the context of the workshop:
Thursday, 27. February: Dr. Hannah Baader (Kunsthistorisches Institut Florenz)
Freie Universität Berlin
EXC 2020 „Temporal Communities“
Room 00.07
Otto-von-Simson-Straße 15

Friday, 28. February: Prof. Dr. Shannon Jackson (University of California, Berkeley)
Künstlerhaus Bethanien
Library
Kohlfurter Straße 41-43
Lichtfabrik
10999 Berlin
Organized by Mateo Chacón Pino (Universität Kassel/documenta Institut) and Friederike Schäfer (Freie Universität Berlin/Exzellenzcluster Temporal Communities).

A cordial invitation to our exhibition
molecularium
Julia Neuenhausen and Fehmi Baumbach seem to connect on a molecular level when viewed through a magnifying glass in order to network the sensitivities of the world in their own way. Psychograms that plunge neurons and photons into their unforeseen chaos, arranged so that new symbioses emerge through the small frictions of synapses and molecules.
