Up Close – Goldrausch 2025 presents works by participants of the 35th edition of the renowned professional development and support program of the same name.
Under this title, the exhibition shows current works by fifteen visual artists working in Berlin: surreal paintings and archival photographs that challenge our visual perception, while multimedia installations explore power structures and open up portals to other worlds. In research-based video works and drawings, temporality becomes tangible as a gesture of remembrance. What the diverse motifs and media have in common is that they take a look up close—at individual biographies, at social conditions, and at political struggles.
The Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt promotes the careers of women, respectively FLINTA artists who are making outstanding contributions in the field. In 2025, the project is celebrating its 35th anniversary! Since 1989, the program has supported more than 500 women artists and created a unique network that fosters exchange, solidarity, professionalism, and visibility. Over the years, the final exhibitions have taken place in a wide variety of locations—from collectively-run project spaces to public institutions like Gropius Bau.
The exhibition will be accompanied by the publication of a catalogue featuring the works of each artist.
The Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt is funded by the European Union (European Social Fund Plus) and the State of Berlin.
This exhibition is a collaboration between the Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt and the Department of Culture of the Neukölln District Office, Berlin.
