“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. Recent institutional solo exhibitions include ‘Refuse’ at Tank, Shanghai (2022), ‘Get Life / Love’s Work’ at the New Museum, New York (2021) and exhibition

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

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.

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

Friday, 28. February: Prof. Dr. Shannon Jackson (University of California, Berkeley)

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.

solo performance by Christina Kyriazidi
2025-03-19 20:00 - 21:00 | ACUD Theater
is a dance-theatre stage composition (solo performance), the third collaboration between the Greek poet and performer Christina Kyriazidi and the Icelandic composer Smári Gudmundson.
It revolves around a female figure in a frantic mental, physical, and verbal rampage. An anonymous woman from whose body memories of other women emerge: a woman refugee in a foreign land, Antigone walking to her earthen tomb, Medea contemplating her unspeakable crime, Phaedra and the desperate lover of Jean Cocteau’s “Human Voice”. The invisible thread that connects these women is WOMAN’s relation with love, power, and death.
The heroine clashes with the memories she carries, memories that belong to her space-time, and others that emerge despite herself from the landscapes of the female collective unconscious. She is constantly changing voices and languages, uttering sounds, singing, and narrating. The dramaturgy progresses with leaps of associations, as words come out of her in a non-linear way, and only fragments of different stories survive. Her struggle is internal and transcends her biography to become universal.
is a tragic dizzying dance, a plunge into the heroine’s subconscious, oscillating between sanity and madness, between memory and oblivion, between life and death. A woman, without a specific name, who carries all the voices and all the female archetypes. From the silence of oblivion to the cry of assertion, primordial female forms within the body of a random woman, countless cracks revealing axles of different conflicts. A performance about the light and darkness of the female soul.
The stage composition combines theatre, dance, and music. It is based on the poetry of Christina Kyriazidi, with additional references to Jean Cocteau’s “Human Voice”, and the characters of Antigone, Phaedra, and Medea from different authors (Sophocles, Euripides, Jean Anouilh, G. Ritsos, Heiner Müller). It includes original music by Smári Gudmundson.
› The performance is mainly in Greek, including Spanish, French, and German, and it comes with English over titles.

worm hole in star: A Speculative Journey Through Feminist Technoecology
2025-03-22 14:00 - 2025-03-29 19:00 | SomoS
SomoS Arts, in collaboration with Curator-in-Residence dani neira, is pleased to announce the opening reception of the exhibition ‘worm hole in star‘, featuring the video, installation, and performance works of artists jiawen uffline, Lena Becerra, Lucila Sancineti, and Maria Kobylenko.
About the Exhibition:
Interpreting wormholes as both the tunnels burrowed by critters and the hypothetical connection in space-time, the exhibition conceptualizes wormholes as pathways to the “otherwise.” Through this speculative lens, the artists’ works explore relationships between bodies, environments, and technologies from multiple queer and feminist perspectives. Attuned to human and non-human relationalities, the works find kinship with bugs, pests, and parasites as abject figures associated with disruption, contamination, and mutation. Burrowing toward social and political alternatives, a porous and interdependent “otherwise” takes form through leaking entities, hybrid creatures, suspended cocoons, and microscopic ecosystems. Akin to an “instar” — the stage of an arthropod between periods of moulting — worm hole in star embraces an ambiguous state of becoming.
jiawen uffline’s video essay strategizes the digital, physical, and figurative error that is a “leak,” Lena Becerra’s “gestational ecosystems” create parasitic co-dependencies between materials, Lucila Sancineti’s textile installation metamorphosizes archival clothing patterns into insectoid skins, and Maria Kobylenko’s audiovisual performance brings our attention to the microscopic ecosystems living just below the soil’s crust. Together, the works shed pre-conceived boundaries between technology and ecology, human and non-human, real and imagined.
Event Details:
Opening reception: Friday, March 21, 2025 6 – 9 p.m.
Closing and audio-visual performance by Maria Kobylenko: Saturday, April 12, 7 – 9 p.m.
Exhibition duration: Saturday, March 22, – Saturday, April 12, 2025, 2 – 7 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday, or by appointment
Free entry
Location: SomoS Arts – Kottbusser Damm 95, 1.0G, 10967, Berlin (U8 – Schönleinstraße)

SEDLMEIR ::: BEFEHL AUS DEM WELTRAUM I & II ::: RECORD RELEASE KONZERT
2025-04-02 20:00 - 23:00 | Eschschloraque Rümschrümp
Miss Pleasure & amSTARt present …
SEDLMEIR “BEFEHL AUS DEM WELTRAUM I & II” – Release show
Sedlmeir plays songs from his new record and also his biggest hits. Sedlmeir’s digital EP two-parter from 2024 finally comes as a vinyl record.
“Befehl aus dem Weltraum I & II” also contains two and a half bonus tracks from 2025.
This beautiful undertaking is primarily thanks to a certain Öz, who has always wanted to finance a space album.
More emotional than ever before, Sedlmeir once again presents steel-hard chansons and tender punk rock entertainment.
There’s always something to complain about. But Sedlmeir’s real art lies in the fact that he is able to extract the most beautiful truths even
out of a matrix of shit and celebrating them.
Or, if necessary, making them up.
Space has commanded him to do so.
“Command from outer space I + II”, from 21.3.25 on Rookie Records

Time is a Healer - Solo show by Jonny Star
2025-04-03 17:00 - 2025-04-06 19:00 | Reuterstr. 62, 12047 Berlin, Germany
“Time Is a Healer” – Solo show by Jonny Star
Opening, Thursday, 3.04.2025, from 5 pm to 9 pm
Exhibition runs from 4.04. until 6.04.2025
Open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 3 pm to 7 pm
Sunday 4 pm is Book-signing!
The solo exhibition “Time Is a Healer” presents a series of works by Berlin-based artist Jonny Star, which were produced with precision and great attention to detail during the Corona lockdown. The series of works Space comprises particularly expressive and high-quality works by the artist and allows us to immerse in a new visual language that combines painting, photography, digital montage and textile art. Sensual, aesthetic and expressive, the works invite the viewer into a dreamlike space in which the living beings human, as a female body, and animal, as a Japanese ornamental carp Koi, meet and seem to dance, swim and float. In the series of six wall hangings, humans and animals unite and surround each other, sensually, tenderly, in various movements and positions in relation to each other, dynamically or calmly, or even appear to merge. In proportions that are not true to life, but with shimmering, colour-matched textures of skin and scales, creatures from the elements of air and water meet here in a new element: in a white open space that seems to be limited only by the edge of the picture. White, surreal, dreamlike, infinite like nothingness, space. A space without a floor, without boundaries, but certainly deep, which makes orientation fade, an unknown space, not of this world, a heavenly, divine space full of light? Or the space in the mind, of dreaming, of the imaginary, of the subconscious, and possibly a place for transcendence, reconciliation, healing, and peace?
With texts by Daniela von Damaros, Katia Hermann, Sylvia Sadzinski and Madeleine Schwinge.
