Charlottenwalk: art that moves - literally

An inspiring tour through the Berlin gallery scene

During the VBKI's Charlottenwalk in March, some of Berlin's most exciting galleries opened their doors and offered fascinating insights into contemporary art.

The opening at Galerie Michael Haas was a filigree dance of metal: Günter Haese's delicate sculptures move with every breeze, although they are not intended as kinetic art. The exhibition continued at Galerie Albrecht, where Sabine Herrmann captured moods that defy clear interpretation with multi-layered color transparency.

A change in structure and perspective followed at Galerie Gilla Lörcher with the architecturally thought-out works of Ab van Hanegem - art that draws the viewer into a vortex of spaces. The route then led to Galerie Springer Berlin, where the FARBENRAUSCH exhibition told a unique family story: photographs by Ludwig Schirmer, his daughter Ute Mahler and Werner Mahler, rarely shown worlds of color with impressive intensity.

The exhibition was concluded by Galerie Kornfeld, which took up a highly topical subject with trust issues: How much can we still trust - in images, in news, in the digital world? The works by Saelia Aparicio, Gonzalo García and Rusudan Khizanishvili posed urgent questions about power, truth and perception.

An inspiring walk full of artistic discoveries, intense impressions and stimulating conversations - many thanks to Susanne Burmehl for the perfect organization!
