UPCOMING: RINEKE DIJKSTRA

Thursday, March 29, 2012

Rineke Dijkstra’s portraits are impossible to pull away from. While her subjects range from park-goers and dancers to French Foreign Legion officers, they are all young, and they are all totally open.

TONIGHT

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

Sex, drugs, violence and rock’n’roll took [...]

Last June, we talked to artists Colin Snapp and Daniel Turner about how their solo practices have evolved out of their collaborative outfit Jules Marquis.

DODO

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

The first ever presentation and long-overdue rediscovery of Dodo’s graphic work provides a broad insight into an artistic life that was shaped by constant upheaval. Dodo, born in 1907 in Berlin as Dörte Clara Wolff, enjoyed a care-free upbringing in a wealthy Jewish milieu. Even as a young woman, she possessed an allure over those [...]

KRYTYKA POLITYCZNA IN BERLIN #3

Monday, February 20, 2012

Martin Zet’s campaign Deutschland schafft es ab (‘Germany gets rid of it‘) in the framework of the 7th Berlin Biennale gave rise to strong reactions and polarized the public opinion. His call for donations of Thilo Sarrazin’s book Deutschland schafft es ab was criticized not only in numerous media reports, but the Berlin Biennale also received [...]
