Erstmals werden ausgewählte Arbeiten der DDR-Avantgarde aus der Sammlung Achim Freyer in einer eigenen Ausstellung gezeigt, um die künstlerische Bedeutung dieser zu großen Teilen wenig sichtbaren Kunstszene präsenter zu machen. Es ist eine Kunstszene, die sich im Untergrund über fast vier Jahrzehnte behauptet hat und aktuell an neuer Bedeutung gewinnt. Die Ausstellung zeigt exemplarisch, wie WIDERSTAND mit künstlerischen Mitteln zu bedeutenden Werk- komplexen der Gegenwartskunst geführt hat.

Ausgestellt werden unter anderem Werke von Gerhard Altenbourg, Carlfriedrich Claus, Achim Freyer, Hermann Glöckner, Wilhelm Müller, Charlotte E. Pauly, A.R. Penck, Neo Rauch, Karlheinz Schäfer und Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt.

Die Sammlung Achim Freyer umfasst über 2.000 bildnerische Werke der Moderne vom 19. bis 21. Jahrhundert, Ost- und West-Kunst, Outsider Art, Naive und L’Art Brut. Im Kunsthaus der Achim Freyer Stiftung wird die Sammlung der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert und im Rahmen von Führungen inhaltlich vermittelt. 

Zur Berlin Art Week öffnen wir auch in diesem Jahr wieder unsere Türen. Am 13. und 14. September ab 12 Uhr führen wir stündlich kostenlos durch die Sammlung und zeigen Filme zum Schaffen von Achim Freyer.

Achim Freyers Serien von „Streifenbildern“, die alle um 1970 entstehen, sind Ausdruck einer radikalen Avantgarde-Haltung in der DDR. Sein Experimentierfeld für Farbe, Linie und Format ist vor allem die Druckgrafik. Die Zinkographien, aber auch Lithographien und Siebdrucke, zum großen Teil Einzelabzüge, stellen ein einzigartiges Konvolut abstrakter Bildsuche in der DDR dar. Sie werden erstmals öffentlich als zusammenhängender Werkkomplex im Achim Freyer Kunsthaus ausgestellt. 

In October Achim Freyer will be showing his latest works in the gallery of Berlin Artists' Association.

Location:
Berlin Artists' Association, Schöneberger Ufer 57, 10785 Berlin

Opening hours:
Wed-Sun 3 p.m. - 6 p.m.

After his exhibition “Light from Color” in 2018, Achim Freyer returns to the church on Hohenzollernplatz with “KREUZWEGE: ACHIM FREYER – NEUE WERKE”. He designed the glass windows back in 1991, which have since bathed the church in a unique light.

The focus of the exhibition “KREUZWEGE: ACHIM FREYER – NEUE WERKE” is his five-part Passion Cycle from 2023, in which the artistic path of life becomes a symbol of the transformation of suffering and happiness.

The gallery in the ACHIM FREYER FOUNDATION's KUNSTHAUS will be transformed into an artistic showroom in which up to 100 current works by Achim Freyer will be arranged in ever-changing constellations. The show is a preparatory space for more than ten exhibitions to mark the 90th birthday of the visual artist and theatre maker. The paintings will be accessible to the public for the first time during the gallery's usual opening hours (Tue, Thu, Sun - 3-6 pm). 
Achim Freyer himself or guests invited by him will be present on selected dates.

More information - also on the supporting programme at www.achimfreyer.com. Admission free.

The artistic border areas of notation, painting, drawing, installation and sound are the subject of this exhibition, starting from John Cage.
A network of artist friendships and affinities is conveyed. Thus, the personal relationships and artistic interconnections between the composers, visual artists, stage artists and writers John Cage, Dieter Schnebel, Achim Freyer, Alvin Curran and Gerhard Rühm are concealed behind the selected works.

During this week, the KUNSTHAUS of the ACHIM FREYER FOUNDATION is presenting additional cultural offerings: special gallery tours "Being in the picture" and workshop "Nature in the picture"

 

The exhibition »Being in the Picture« in the GALLERY at KUNSTHAUS of ACHIM FREYER STIFTUNG presents the artistic oeuvre of Achim Freyer in select works from the 1960s to the present.
