March 13, 2025: at the exhibition „Extreme Tension. Art between Politics and Society Collection of the Nationalgalerie 1945 – 2000“ at Neue Nationalgalerie with curator Marta Smolinska

The art of the second half of the twentieth century is marked by an enormous diversity of materials, mediums, and methods. At the same time, hardly another era was so characterized by division, rupture, and transformation as the period after the Second World War. In light of this, the Neue Nationalgalerie has chosen the title Extreme Tension for the upcoming presentation of its postwar collection.

Afterwards dinner at Viet Bowl.

March 4, 2025: at the exhibition „Im Verhältnis“ at Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung with artist Linnéa Meiners and curator Helen-Sophie Mayr

 The exhibition In Relation (ger.: Im Verhältnis) by Linnéa Meiners and Christof Zwiener features two installations. They are based on specific objects from the foundation's direct geographical and thematic sphere: Rosa Luxemburg's herbarium, which she maintained during her imprisonment in Wrocław despite the high walls that surrounded her, as well as a block-shaped bottle repurposed as a glass brick, which was found on the nearby construction site of the old Postbahnhof at Ostbahnhof.

Afterwards dinner at Terrazza Portofino.

February 19, 2025: at the exhibition „Glowing Attraction“ at Haus am Kleistpark with artist Marta Djourina

The artist Marta Djourina zeroes in on natural light phenomena and makes them visible in astonishing ways. Djourina intentionally refrains from using a camera, opting to explore the effects of various sources of light on photo paper instead. In her abstract works, light itself turns into color.

Afterwards dinner at Ho Lo Asia Restaurant.

January 30, 2025: at the exhibition „YOU OWE ME EVERYTHING“ at Alte Feuerwache with artist Manja Ebert and curator Peggy Schoenegge

OWE ME EVERYTHING shows the complex web of relationships between consumerism, production and data collection in social networks. Ebert's works reflect how global tech giants such as Google and Meta profit from the everyday interactions of users and, in doing so, engage in omnipresent surveillance. At the same time, the artist questions how the interplay of self-expression, technology and surveillance affects our psychological and social lives.

Afterwards dinner at Kos House.
