Beyond hype and promises of salvation, we get to the bottom of the essence of creative processes and good cooperation: In a joint search for traces with Berlin artists, a fresh and inspiring look at design thinking, agile work, new work and collaboration opens up.
With the denk | art training we support you in exploring the connection between agile innovation approaches and artistic thinking and creating. The direct exchange with Berlin artists enables you to reflect on existing methodological knowledge. It inspires an attitude that makes it easier to deal with open, uncertain and complex situations. You will learn how you can open up new spaces in your thinking without losing sight of the goal.

The training is aimed at designers, executives, consultants and coaches who want to get to know new tools in order to be able to deal creatively with changes.

A look into a home and no feeling of home will arise. Markings in a gym that lose all playfulness and become boundaries and abysses. By choosing perspective and context, Menno Aden shifts, provokes and challenges our sensation of home and homeland in the simultaneity of #stayhome and #leavenoonebehind.

<HOME / GUEST <will be opened with a live performance by Susie Asado (music) and Kristine Walther (recitation) with texts by Eric Esser, PeterLicht, Bernhard Schlink and Bernard Pomerance and can be seen on Facebook Live. Registration for the vernissage in the gallery here

The exhibition runs from November 29 until January 31.

From November 26th to 28th the Direct Auction is auctioning over 400 works online with Jeschke Van Vliet. Die Ganze Freiheit shows the works from two of a total of 19 catalogs for preview (appointment reservation):

04:> Serendipity now!< curated by Almut Hüfler (catalog)
The works take up different aspects of the present. In drawings, paintings, mixed media, photographs and prints, we see artistic transformations and creative strategies in dealing with this “interesting” time. They are invitations to respond. Immerse, immerse, simply immerse yourself – and take your discoveries up with you. Serendipity Now: Embrace the Chance Find.

06:> All fiction. Everything is real. <Curated by Bärbel Brands (catalog)
How high is the proportion of what is invented in relation to reality? Does reality reveal itself or does it remain a chimera? The conflict between fiction and truth, fiction and faction, original and forgery is increasingly disappearing, leaving behind clear side effects: freedom and fear, tension and abyss, inspiration and vagueness, departure and error. We have to live with it.
