Summertime means group exhibition time. And that’s particularly the case at CCA, now located in the foyer of the Memorial Church. The nonprofit Center for Contemporary Arts has stayed (for the most part) under the radar and is opening its doors on Breitscheidplatz tonight (11.07.2024), both for its second exhibition with the pragmatic title “Summer 24” and for the newly inaugurated small artists’ bookstore. In the wood-paneled building, designed by Egon Eiermann, works by Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili, Thea Djordjadze, Nika Kutateladze, Klara Lidén, Albert Leo Peil, Rosemarie Trockel and Andro Wekua are gathered, united by a common thread: dark subtlety and a restrained yet beguiling aesthetic. The exhibition program is complemented by artist talks. The first talk is with Georgian painter Nika Kutateladze and director Fabian Schöneich and will take place this Saturday (13.07.24) at 14h. Summertime is group exhibition time, and you should not miss this one!
