Tips 22.09 - 05.10

OK, we hear you - Berlin Art Week was, indeed, exhausting in many ways. What might be the cure for art hangover though, is in fact - more art! Go get your next fix at any of the many upcoming events.

 

THURSDAY 24.09

19.00 Lucy Powell – “If we were smarter and had thought things through more” @ MEINBLAU Projektraum

 

WHY: Artificial intelligence is born of the marriage of information and technology, and with this as its focus, the exhibition represents a further step in Lucy Powell's exploration of the cybernetic triangle of animal-human-machine.The exhibition also features a new artist book and sound installation. Special performances with a flying drone will take place at regular intervals during the opening.

FRIDAY 25.09

18.00 Contemporary Algerian Photography @ HilbertRaum

WHY: HilbertRaum presents a group exhibition with five young artists from Algeria. The photographic positions of Yassin Belahsene, Hanane Hadj-Aissa, Lola Khalfa, Youcef Krache and Houssem Mokeddem examine Algeria of the present in the mirror of the past. The exhibited photographs give a small and differentiated overview about the dynamic photography scene of Algeria. The exhibition is curated by Feriel Bendjama.

19.00 Appropriating Language #10 – Real Names @ Maniere Noire

WHY: During the ‘70s and ‘80s, Raul Meel was a representative of radical art in Estonia; nowadays he is a prominent figure in the national and international art scene. Meel’s artistic discourse is a hybrid, as it embraces different aspects of the avant-garde art. He  sees himself as participating in an endless process, in which words are essential. By perpetually typing Estonian names, Raul Meel creates concrete poetries where geometry and language merge beautifully.

Manière Noire / Waldenserstraße 7A, 10551 Berlin, U Turmstr. / open through 06.10 / free entry / more info

 

19.00 Found in Translation @ Scotty Enterprises

WHY: Galleria Huuto (Helsinki) and the project space Scotty Enterprises (Berlin) are engaged in an artistic exchange, based on a process of translation of imagery. Each artist constructs a work that references a work of one of the artists from the other gallery. Thus, on display are the works resulting from this process of translating, interpreting, and being inspired by images, ideas, themes, thoughts and notions.

Scotty Enterprises / Oranienstr. 46, 10969 Berlin, U Moritzplatz / open through 17.10 / free entry / more info

 

WEDNESDAY 30.09

18.30 100 Years of Now @ Haus der Kulturen der Welt

WHY: “100 Years of Now” combines diagnoses of our times with scopes of action, explores the potentials of the past, and unlocks alternative futures. HKW’s  four-year project will be launched with a congress from 30.09 till 04.10. The Opening spotlights the emergence and side-effects of normative notions of time, the planetary entanglement of technological, human, and natural forces, global political conflicts, and supposed side scenes of history.

19.00 “The Vacancy” Opening Party @ Projekthaus Friedrichstr. 124

THURSDAY 01.10

18.00 Florian Japp – “Objekte 096” @ ROCKELMANN&

WHY: ROCKELMANN& presents “Objekte 096”, Florian Japp’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition space is consumed by a large-scale installation made up of multicolored brackets and links that crisscross and dictate the path you walk – mirroring the systems of control found in roads networks and airports. The gallery space is condensed to a game of lines and colors, evoking a claustrophobic reflex that seems excluding to the viewer.

ROCKELMANN& / Schönleinstr. 5, 10967 Berlin, U Schönleinstr. / open through 06.12 / free entry / more info

 

19.00 Dominik Steiner – “Jauser-Baby” @ Vesselroom Project

WHY: Vesselroom Project presents the work of Dominik Steiner, with a selection of collages made from 2013 till present, as a unique collaboration with the gallery Cruise&Callas. In his collages, Steiner adds cut-outs from comic books, stickers, and other pictorial material from a child´s world and trash culture in order to form new imagery. The ease and speed of Steiner´s work is visible as a hybrid, as is the witty element.

Vesselroom Project / Adalbertstr. 4 (1.OG), 10999 Berlin, U Kottbusser Tor / open through 30.10 / free entry / more info
