OPENING WED FEB 2ND, 18H GALERIE IM TURM: LERATO SHADI, MAROPENG
with DJ-set by Robert Machiri

The title Maropeng comes from the Setswana saying »Maropeng go a boelwa go sa boelweng ke teng«. In Setswana, Maropeng means »returning to the place of origin« or »returning home«. At the end of the two-year exhibition series on the theme of solidarity, labour and care, Lerato Shadi transforms the Galerie im Turm into a space that allows us to reflect upon the relationship between history, the present and the future.
Maropeng is the final instalment in the exhibition series MY WORKING WILL BE THE WORK: on self/care, labour and solidarity, curated by Linnéa Meiners and Jorinde Splettstößer.

The creation of a Berliner Kunsthalle completely blew past me, maybe because this one isn't really a Berliner Kunsthalle, I mean it is a Halle and in Berlin and it can definitely be rented out for art stuff but…  „Der Name ‚Berliner Kunsthalle’ klingt sehr danach, als sei das die Kunsthalle der großen Stadt Berlin und als würden die Ausstellungen von einem gewissen qualitativen Maßstab sein“, gibt Zoë Claire Miller vom BBK Berlin zu bedenken. „Aber das ist nicht so. Es ist eine Ausstellungseinrichtung von einem Privatier, der einen Verein betreibt, der sich Stiftung nennt, der in unglaublich viele Skandale verwickelt gewesen ist und immer wieder in gewisser Weise Männerklüngelkunst zeigt.“ Männerklüngelkunst - Germans will come up with the funniest words…

Saturday Feb 5, 18h at Axel Obier: GUIDED TOUR UNSTRUCTURED
with Harriet Groß, Sarah Loibl, Enrico Niemann, Keren Shalev- curated by Daniela von Damaros
The group exhibition entitled “un-structured” will feature works by the four artists Harriet Groß, Sarah Loibl, Enrico Niemann and Keren Shalev. By means of an installative gesture, all exhibits break the boundaries of their medium, such as painting, sculpture and drawing. Their visual language is found in the simultaneity of structural principles such as chaos and order. In the exhibition, the viewer can immerse in the dynamics between the two seemingly contrary principles.

SAVE THE DATE- Opening Feb 11th 16-23h MERCURIAL BY GØNEJA @okkraum29
In his second solo show “Mercurial”, opening at the Organ Kritischer Kunst, Berlin-based Gøneja uses photography and totemic sculpture as the media to bring the ancient spirit of Alchemy alive through a combination of artistic experiments both fluid and idea-driven. An aesthetic territory which aims to surpass the limitations and duality of the rational mind through the use of symbolism, mysterious physicalities, undefinable narratives and open-ended meanings.
