“Constructing the Earthquake” benutzt das Erdbeben als Metapher für unterschiedliche Formen gesellschaftlicher und emotionaler Erschütterungen. Angesichts der zunehmenden Globalisierung und den diffusen Gefühlen von Kontrollverlust und Unsicherheit fragen die Künstler:innen nach der Eigenverantwortung des Menschen für seinen Lebensraum und suchen nach Wegen, um mit den neuen Realitäten flexibler umzugehen.

Artistic processes are not far off from planting and taking care of a garden. Similar to tasks like digging, sowing, watering, fertilizing, and pruning, artists cultivate their work and observe closely as it takes on its own dynamic. Some things only develop in the right environment, with the right neighbors.

LINEAR MOMENTUM is an exhibition dealing with line in relation to our movement in urban and rural space.

In her new project for the Galerie im Körnerpark, Susanne Kriemann works conceptually with light – the energy that structures life through the rhythm of day and night.

“Blood, Sweat and Tears – Assembling Past and Future” transforms the Galerie im Körnerpark into a space for discussion and reflection on peace and conflict management. Its historical anchor is the first International Women’s Peace Congress at The Hague in 1915, during which the participants debated the sociopolitical, economic and intellectual prerequisites for a future lasting peace. Blood, Sweat and Tears sees itself as an artistic search for whatever ties together those committed to a peaceful world.

Digging Digging presents artistic positions that deal with transformations and deformations of landscapes as well as urban changes due to raw material extraction and utilization.

Together, the participants explore identities, forms of coexistence and longings of today.

For his snapshot of the city Berlin, Ashkan Sahihi photographed more than 370 women who live here permanently or temporarily. They are all, in their own individual way, part of the dynamic that shows Berlin lifestyle.

“Post-Soviet Cassandras” is an exhibition with artists from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, who all deal critically with the social and political situation in their countries.

Death was and is an urgent topic for artists in all epochs. Mourning and melancholy, dying and the fear of death are empirical, existential experiences with which every human being is confronted.
