Handpicked from the same festivals lineup, scored for this weekend.
FESTIVALS
“No More Masterpieces”
“No More Masterpieces” (a battle cry from the well-known Surrealist Antonin Artaud) dedicates itself to the action-oriented side of Surrealism and its impact that is still felt today.
EXHIBITIONS
Possibilities of an Island. Thinking in Images from Gerstenberg to Scharf
The world is turbulent and difficult. How fortunate that there are islands! Outside, in the open air, or inner imaginary ones that we can find just about anywhere – in our heads, at home or somewhere else.
FESTIVALS
SOPHIA ODER DAS ENDE DER HUMANISTEN
Few topics captivate as much as artificial intelligence. Long since breaking free from the confines of scientific research, it has become-sometimes more, sometimes less obviously-a part of everyday life, and its potential is impossible to predict.
FESTIVALS
SHEUNG YIU ꟾ (Inter)faces of Predictions
In his winning project, Sheung Yiu (b. 1991) investigates how faces across different cultures and technological contexts serve to prefigure character traits and foretell the future.
INTERNATIONAL
DÖRTE EISSFELDT ꟾ Archipelago
In the images of Dörte Eißfeldt (born 1950), nothing is as it seems, and nothing stays the same. Instead of merely depicting reality, she transforms photography into a medium of constant metamorphosis.
FESTIVALS
'Proximity as a state' - Images of humanity by Matthias Gálvez
Matthias Gálvez is one of the most distinctive voices in Berlin's realistic-figurative painting. His works understand proximity not as a narrative motif, but as an experiential state.
FESTIVALS
Escape into the interior
The writer, painter and Kleist Prize winner Paul Gurk led a reclusive life, living in Berlin Wedding from 1936 onwards. During the Nazi dictatorship, many of his works remained unpublished; the novel "Tresoreinbruch" (1935) was banned.
FESTIVALS
Iryna Vorona - In the face of war
Whether with fine lines or expressive strokes, the works of Ukrainian artist Iryna Vorona (born 1987) capture with great emotional intensity the effects of Russia's war of aggression on the civilian population of Kyiv.
