LISTENING TO TIME: MOOR MOTHER TRANSFORMS THE NEUE NATIONALGALERIE

LISTENING TO TIME: MOOR MOTHER TRANSFORMS THE NEUE NATIONALGALERIE

Over four evenings in January 2026, the Neue Nationalgalerie becomes an open stage for acoustic experiments, performative moments, and collective time travel in the here and now. The poet, activist, and musician Camae Ayewa, also known as Moor Mother, together with Ensemble Mosaik, invite audiences to more than just listen. As part of Time Travel Hear Today, participants develop their own soundscapes, navigating between composed structures, improvised sounds, and interactive elements. The glass hall of Mies van der Rohe’s building transforms into a resonance space and playground where sound and time are intertwined and shifted. Hip-hop influences, traces of free jazz, electronic textures, and philosophical impulses blend into a free composition – just as director and set designer Tilman Hecker envisioned for the “Time Travel Hear Today” concept. Each of the four evenings highlights different elements: during the day, preparatory workshops take place, while in the evenings, chance encounters become part of the open program.

Spontaneous ideas and performances ensure that no evening is the same. Running in parallel is Christian Marclay’s video installation “The Clock”. The film montage collages iconic clips of clocks, alarms, and timepieces into a 24-hour loop in real time. “The Clock” can be seen as an experimental meditation on transience, offering a potential complementary layer to what Moor Mother expresses acoustically. “Time Travel Hear Today” aims to be more than a performance: it is a forum for perception, for thinking in loops, and for experiencing time as a flowing, shapeable dimension. Moor Mother speaks to the curious, to lovers of sound, and to anyone who understands art as a space of possibilities — where every minute has a life of its own. To listen, in this context, means to travel, to resonate, and to think along.

GIFT MUSEUM MOMENTS: WITH FOTOGRAFISKA MEMBERSHIPS

GIFT MUSEUM MOMENTS: WITH FOTOGRAFISKA MEMBERSHIPS

Some gifts end up tucked away in a cupboard, while others leave an impression that lasts all year long. An annual pass to a favorite museum belongs to the latter — and it’s easy to pack for anyone heading home over the holidays. The cultural institution Fotografiska in Mitte offers three different membership options: as a “Member,” you get unlimited access to the museum for 79€ a year — not just in Berlin, but at all Fotografiska locations worldwide, from Shanghai to Stockholm. “Members” enjoy exclusive previews and guided tours, along with discounts in the museum shop and on-site restaurants. The “Companion” membership, however, extends these benefits to two people. For €129 a year, you and your plus-one can experience art together, making it the perfect option for anyone who knows that exhibitions are best shared. With this membership, you’re not just giving access to a show, but also shared moments at openings, events, or over a drink after the tour.

The “Supporter” membership takes the experience even further. This option is perfect for families, friend groups, or true art lovers: for 300€ a year, the standard membership benefits extend to you and three guests. As a “Supporter,” you join the inner circle, gaining access to the annual dinner with Fotografiska curators, art excursions, and exclusive supporter events and conferences. No matter which membership you choose, it’s far from a standard gift. Until April 2026, Diana Markosian’s exhibition Father is well worth a visit, while from the end of January 2026, the works of photojournalist James Nachtwey invite reflection on morality and humanity in times of crisis. A Fotografiska membership is more than a gift — it’s a gesture that connects you to art, to people, and to moments you won’t forget.

IMMERSIVE & INNOVATIVE — THE “ORIGINS” EXHIBITION SHINES A LIGHT ON THE BEGINNINGS OF LIFE

IMMERSIVE & INNOVATIVE — THE “ORIGINS” EXHIBITION SHINES A LIGHT ON THE BEGINNINGS OF LIFE

People from all over the world come to Berlin with the sense that something great is on the horizon. Anyone can put down roots here. And, for many, it’s where it all really began. These days, anyone entering the Reinbeckhallen in Schöneweide will find proof of that. Origins is an immersive exploration of the early Earth, its forces, and the very first lifeforms. Until April 2026, embark on a journey to the origins at this exhibition. It’s about creation and the act of creating. Volcanic landscapes, cosmic darkness, and microscopic structures. Under Markos R. Kay’s artistic direction, the vast halls between Industriepark Schöneweide and the banks of the Spree become a visual dialogue on the origins of life: emotional, dazzling, and unmistakably visionary. The exhibition layers 3D design, macro photography, AI-generated art, sound installations, and virtual reality into a mosaic of colors that is sometimes vibrant, sometimes fluid, but always compelling. Works by sound studios, researchers, and international digital artists such as Thomas Vanz, Susi Sie, and Gokhan Tekin draw from the expansive space between science and visual poetry. Along the multimedia stations, observe the biological structures of the earliest life forms, experience paleontology in a new way, and immerse yourself in the vastness of the universe — in ways that were previously impossible. At the heart of the exhibition is “Life’s Epic Journey”, a large-scale, multisensory installation that sends visitors back billions of years while simultaneously placing them in a future where art, research, and technology are almost inseparable.

DIGITAL ART PRECISION-ENGINEERED FOR THE SENSES — TECHNO-PSYCHEDELIC VISUALS AT P61 GALLERY

DIGITAL ART PRECISION-ENGINEERED FOR THE SENSES — TECHNO-PSYCHEDELIC VISUALS AT P61 GALLERY

“Immersive” is a word you read a lot in descriptions of digital art. But Digital Dimensions at P61 Gallery legitimately earns that tag, so hypnotic are its artworks. Glossy, synthetic, swirling and saturated, the installations make no pretense to be naturalistic. They are precision-engineered to appeal to the senses. Occupying eight rooms of a postwar utilitarian block in Schöneberg, the 300 works are broadly organized into three themes: “Physic-Flow Art”, “Liquid Universes”, and “Rhythmic Math Art”. Whatever the subject, the visuals have a flow and geometry that gives them a techno-psychedelic quality. A total of 40 artists were commissioned for the computational artworks, digital objects and motion design, including the likes of 3D artist Vincent Schwenk. The otherworldly atmosphere of the artworks and soundscapes is mesmerizing, pulling you in and holding you there until you look down and realize twenty minutes have passed. “Math art”, it turns out, is more than the sum of its parts…

ART AS A GIFT: THE BERLIN EDITION AT FAHRBEREITSCHAFT

ART AS A GIFT: THE BERLIN EDITION AT FAHRBEREITSCHAFT

The search for the right Christmas gift is no small feat. Too many options, too few stand-out gifts. What you’re really looking for is something that lasts and makes a meaningful contribution. How about giving art this year? Something you can gift without breaking the bank? That’s exactly what artists Judith Hopf and Nasan Tur had in mind when curating the exhibition “The Berlin Edition” at the Haubrok Foundation in Lichtenberg. Their sales exhibition revolves around limited-edition artworks created for Berlin-based institutions. Editions exist somewhere between one-of-a-kind and mass-produced. They come in multiples, but every series is strictly limited, and that’s precisely what makes them affordable. Institutions that have shaped Berlin’s art scene for decades, including KW Institute, n.b.k., and the magazine Texte zur Kunst, are opening their treasure chests on the remaining Advent Sundays at the invitation of Hopf and Tur. Some are offering new editions, others classics, many at fair prices, and some even with special holiday discounts.

With every purchase, you support one of these institutions and help ensure that Berlin’s art landscape can remain diverse and independent. The hosting Haubrok Foundation is also contributing its own editions, including a tote bag by Jonathan Monk and photographic works by Claus Rottenbacher, who captured the exhibition venue (the former GDR Fahrbereitschaft) with its original 1950s interior, bar included, plus bowling alley in beautifully quiet images. Hopf and Tur bring their distinct curatorial signatures to the show. Hopf is known for her humorous, analytical explorations of everyday architecture and technological routines, while Tur’s politically charged, often performative works reveal underlying social structures. Together, they create a framework that invites visitors to embrace art as part of everyday life, and incidentally, puts an end to the annual gift-giving odyssey.
