Gallery Weekend Berlin, one of the city’s foremost art events, is back for its 15th edition this April. Founded in 2005, it aims to reflect the current art discourse, offering an exceptional art experience.
This year, this highly anticipated event will gather exhibitions held in 45 galleries throughout the city, featuring the latest output of young emerging artists alongside more established positions.
The visitors will be offered various paths through a unique mix of current art and contemporary discourse, special events and encounters, and ever-changing impressions of the city.
The Exhibition Program
Taking place in 45 galleries around the city, the exhibition program during Gallery Weekend Berlin will be rich and diverse.
The audience will have an opportunity to see works by a pioneer of conceptual art Bernar Venet at Blain I Southern; German artist Michael Krebber at Galerie Buchholz; Franz Erhard Walther, known for his early conceptual experiments of actively involving spectators in the production of the work, Clegg & Guttmann, known for their Open Library project, and Henrike Naumann, known for installations restaging living spaces of the 1990s, all on view at KOW; Axel Hütte at Daniel Marzona, a German photographer known for his unique approach to landscape; Peter Fischli & David Weiss, an artist duo best known for their film The Way Things Go, Reinhard Mucha, celebrated for his sculptural installations constructed from materials including found wood, vitrines, and railway detritus Andrea Robbins/Max Becher, a duo producing photo-based conceptual artworks, all at Sprüth Magers; photographs by acclaimed artists Robert Frank and Saul Leiter at Kicken Berlin; among others.
Discover the Richness of the City’s Art Scene
Once again, the Gallery Weekend Berlin will present the gallery as a space of exchange and discourse, allowing the owners to reinforce the gallery as an exhibition and social space. Galleries help build up and support their artists over their careers while working alongside them to facilitate and conceive innovative and thought-provoking exhibitions of their work, while serving as a point of contact for curators, critics, collectors and art lovers.
This weekend will provide a wonderful opportunity to discover new names or deepen old passions, but also experience the city anew: the gallery scene, like art production, remains in motion, continuously opening itself to new spaces — in 2019, particularly in Charlottenburg.
While in Berlin, be sure to also check out ongoing exhibitions such as Picasso: The Late Work. From the Collection of Jacqueline Picasso at Museum Barberini, Minerva Cuevas – No Room to Play at Daadgalerie, Bauhaus Imaginista at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, and JR – Adrian Piper – Ray Johnson at Museum Frieder Burda / Salon Berlin, among others.
