THIS WEEK in BERLIN
Mon, 17 Mar, 17h at Alte Münze Unspoken Spaces: Guided Tour though Invible Lines, hosted by The Female Photoclub as part of Emop Berlin with Natalia Carstens, Alena Schmick, Maren Katerbau, Chiara Dazi, Jordana Schramm
Quiet, often overlooked spaces are explored that seem inconspicuous at first glance, but reveal deeper, invisible boundaries in everyday life. These places tell of social and personal barriers that remain unspoken and yet characterise our coexistence.

The exhibition forms an artistic measuring of secret and uncanny landscapes by thinking through both colour and line. Using the means of painting (Matthias Moravek) and printmaking (Sebastian Speckmann), the works examine the relationship between form and nature. The eponymous poetry by Jan Wagner, in whose lyric the landscapes sometimes carry their image within themselves, forms an overarching reference to both visual languages.

Sat March 22, 14h Artist's talk: D O N ` T T O U C H ! at Galerie Georg Nothelfer with Birte Bosse, Stella Geppert, Hauck Plümpe, Bastian Hoffmann, Jeroen Jacobs, Delia Jürgens, Jenny Michel, Thomas Rentmeister, Robert Schad, Geerten Verheus
With the group exhibition D O U N ´T T O U C H !, Galerie Georg Nothelfer raises questions about context, materiality and aesthetic experience of sculptural works. Art is "framed" in its historical, social and political context and is rarely viewed in isolation from it today. The different contexts and the associated framing change perception. [...] At the latest since the transgressions of modernism and the associated detachment from the "old", art itself has repeatedly redrawn the boundary between art and non-art, while at the same time proclaiming the abolition of this boundary and thus opening up new zones of experience. In this context, can the touching and, above all, the not touching of art be rethought in order to reflect on the contextual meaning? [...] (Text excerpt: Harald F. Theiss)

Fri, 28 Mar 19:00-21:00 at soft power No mixed feelings: spiral downwards joy
with Corinna Brenner, Dalia Maini/DMT, Saverio Cantoni & Stefano “Menion” Ferrari
For No mixed feelings: spiral downwards joy, Saverio Cantoni, Dalia Maini aka DMT and Stefano “Menion” Ferrari form an ensemble of devices, sensibilities, and political consciousness shaped in dissonant frequencies and sonic fabulation, joined by Corinna Brenner interpreting in sign language the spoken words and sonic improvisation. Weaving personal experiences and lived reality, transforming grief into joy through noise, No mixed feelings: spiral downwards joy invites the audience to collectively mourn the debilitation of a liveable world. The collaborative aural performance caters to the relationship between territory, politics, and poetry in a shape-shifting oral-acoustic experience; transitory like improvisational sounding environments, and transtemporal like nocturnal storytelling.
Monty Richthofen’s latest body of work pushes the boundary between language and abstraction. Drawings and paintings incorporating text fragments—sometimes bold, sometimes illegible and obscure, blurred, sprayed over, or blacked out—reflect a tension between revelation and concealment.
On the occasion of the exhibition, the gallery will publish an essay by Laura Helena Wurth in both German and English, available prior to the opening in February 2025.
Monty Richthofen (b. Munich, 1995) is a Berlin-based artist whose work challenges conventional poetry by visualizing text through painting, public writings, and tattooing.
until 22 Mar 2025
Being Renée Sintenis & The Women of My Life. at Kunstverein am Rosa–Luxemburg–Platz
Alexandra Hopf’s latest exhibition reexamines the narratives of women in art and cultural history, opening a dialogue on shifting perceptions of self, identity, and memory.
At the heart of the show is her new film, Being Renée Sintenis, which follows the Berlin sculptor Renée Sintenis (1888–1965), a celebrated figure of the 1920s. The film presents Sintenis reclaiming her own story, challenging the image imposed on her. Costumes from the production, rich in 20th-century art historical references, form part of the exhibition. In The Women of Her Life, Hopf transforms 77 portraits from the 1930 book Unsere Zeit in 77 Frauenbildnissen into reverse glass paintings, weaving them into a contemporary anthology shaped by personal memories of influential women from the 1970s to the 1990s. Through film, painting, and performance, Hopf creates a space for reinterpreting historical narratives, offering a fresh perspective on the evolving constructs of identity and representation.
In HEIKE GALLMEIER'S work, the levels of construction, reconstruction and deconstruction combine with each other in a manner that is just as fluid as the media of sculpture, painting and photography.
ANNETTE GÖDDE works with photography, video and installation. Collected materials, objects and settings are photographed in the studio, collaged on the computer and transferred into real space. The result of the work is thus always a result of digital processing.
TRACES: Michael Dell, Ali Eckert, Hyacinthe Ouattara at Ronewa Art Projects

Traces brings together an array of mediums and techniques by artists Ali Eckert (Germany/USA), Hyacinthe Ouattara (Burkina Faso/France), and Michael Dell (New Zealand). All three artists have an artistic practice driven by process, each having developed a characteristic method of layering their materials to explore and probe what is visible, what is unseen, and what is contained in the remnants.
