Starting on Friday 26.04.2019, the Gallery Weekend will one again transform the city into one big exhibition. In addition to the 45 galleries officially taking part, numerous museums and off-spaces are also opening their doors with new exhibitions. The Berlinische Galerie will be throwing a spotlight on the architecture studio Realities:United, while at Alte Münze young artists will be exhibiting at The Show. The first stop on our gallery tour will be in Kreuzberg at ChertLüdde, where Sol Calero is using her grandmother’s artistic practice as the starting point for her own work. A few streets further on, at the Barbara Weiss Gallery, painter Frieda Toranzo Jaeger is deconstructing the image of the car as a male power fantasy. Meanwhile at the Alexander Levy gallery, Fabian Knecht will deal with moments of rupture with his performative installations that strikingly demonstrate the instability of our world order. Head to the Tanya Leighton gallery for Math Bass, whose paintings show you a completely unique image system: cartoon-like crocodiles and smoldering cigarettes form abstract pictograms. In the immediate vicinity, Ryan Gander approaches the concept of enlightenment in sculptures, installations and videos at the Esther Schipper exhibition space.
