31.05. – 25.08. Mobiliär. Zwischen auf dem Schrank oder unterm Teppich. Fides Becker, Anja Teske. Painting, Fotografie. Repro Abb. oben: Fides Becker, Neunauge, 2012 (Detail); Abb. unten: Anja Teske, Wohnt hier wer?, 2024; © VG Bildkunst, Bonn 2024 | Grafik: Bernhard Rose

Object-related, illusionistic, mimetic, transformative: the interiors of the painter Fides Becker (* 1962 in Worms) and the photographer Anja Teske (* 1964 in Minden) find both points of contact and contrasts in an installative spatial situation. Both artists are inspired by everyday objects from different eras and capture carefully arranged home furnishings on the surface. With camera and brush, they direct the viewer’s gaze into hidden areas of the personal.

31.05. – 25.08. Believe Me. Georg Weißbach. Painting, Work on Paper, Installation, Light Art.

Based on generally available painting instructions for amateurs and in an examination of centuries of art history, Georg Weißbach develops a broad panorama of painterly approaches that condense into a comprehensive picture of contemporary artistic strategies in dealing with a medium that has often been declared dead. The boundaries between high and popular culture begin to blur, opening up a liberated view of analog image worlds in the digital age.

31.05. – 25.08. Twist. Anette Rose. Installation.

Anette Rose’s video installations are part of her long-term project of an “encyclopaedia of handling”. They focus both on mechanical production processes and on the body language of people performing various manual tasks. Between the fascination for technical processes and the concentrated attention on movements, a panorama of cultural realities emerges. The unifying theme of the installations ist he textile production.

31.05. – 25.08. Mitkunstzentrale. Materielle Kollaborationen. Valeria Fahrenkrog, Erik Göngrich, Nora Wilhelm. Sculpture, Installation. Repro Abb.: MITKUNSTZENTRALE, Haus der Materialisierung, 2024 | Grafik: Bernhard Rose

The MITKUNSTZENTRALE at HAUS DER STATISTIK sees itself as a studio, laboratory, project space and discussion forum for the urgent questions of urban social future from an artistic/design perspective. The radical rethink from consumption to re-use, from resource exploitation to a sustainable approach to living beings, materials, energies and concepts determines the basis for joint thinking, discussion and work.

31.05. – 25.08. Neuzugänge der Spandauer Kunstsammlung. Painting, Print, Drawing, Lithography, Sculpture, Installation, Light Art, Fotografie. Repro Abb.: Doris Hinzen-Röhrig, „Es brennt – American Darling“, Ausschnitt, Bleistift/Collage auf Karton, 61,5 cm x 90 cm, 2018 © VG Bildkunst, Bonn 2024

In the ZAK lounge we are showing the new additions to the Spandau art collection with works by Nasan Tur, Chloe Sherman, Anna Werkmeister, Sabine Herrmann, Doris Hinzen-Röhrig, Karen Scheper, Margareta Hesse, Carsten Borck, Deborah S. Philipps, Jase Kala and others.

16.03. – 18.08. Multispecies Futures*. Hartmut Kiewert. Painting. Repro Crossing V, Hartmut Kiewert, 2023, Photo: Grafik: Bernhard Rose

The topic of Hartmut Kiewert's artistic work is the reflection on future possibilities of the relationship between humans and animals. Based on the utopian idea of peaceful and equal coexistence, the painter develops social images and narratives in which animals are no longer objects of exploitative practice, but become subjects of a changed and emancipatory world.

10.02. – 05.05. Boosted Mimicry. Tom Früchtl, Sabine Groß, Barbara Hindahl. Painting, Drawing, Sculpture.

Painting, sculpture and drawing strategies of camouflage, fakes and trompe-l'oeil are at the centre of the exhibition Boosted Mimicry. As typical representatives of a post-postmodern generation, the three artists Tom Früchtl (* 1966), Sabine Groß (* 1961) and Barbara Hindahl (* 1960) dedicate themselves to a critical examination of the art context and investigate the different categories of our perception when we look at art.

10.02. – 05.05. Kunst am Bau. Drei Projekte. Il-Jin Atem Choi, Philip Eichhorn, Anna Ehrenstein, Andreas Amrhein, Ivana de Vivanco, Marta Vovk, Neda Saeedi, Alex Lebus, Mary-Audrey Ramirez, Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg, Malte Bartsch, Raphaela Vogel, Lennart Wolff, Irene Fernández Arcas, Lorena Juan, Luciana Massarino, Julia Meyer-Brehm, Daniel Hahn, Johannes Mundinger, Aileen Treusch, Catharina Szonn, Felix Anatol Findeiß, Kira Dell, Laura Seidel, Lillian Morrissey, Maria Thrän, Elmar Zimmermann. Mixed. Repro Spandau Azulejos, Baklava Peeps, Anna Ehrenstein, 2023, Photo: Grafik: Bernhard Rose

In 2023, three art-in-architecture competitions were announced in the district of Spandau:

New construction of the STEIG youth leisure center
Renovation of an external location of the adult education center and music school
New construction of an elementary school at Fehrbelliner Tor

A total of 16 entries by 24 artists from Berlin will be presented in a joint exhibition, including the award-winning designs. 

10.02. – 05.05. AntE-Landscapes. Abie Franklin. Painting, Installation. Repro emerald league, Abie Franklin, 2023, Photo: Grafik: Bernhard Rose

The term “anti-landscapes” describes desolate areas that are hostile to human life – also as a result of economic exploitation. Value attributions are applied beyond resources to people and ways of life: as less valuable, less human. The exhibition AntE-Landscapes by Abie Franklin (* 1995 in Jerusalem) takes up this entanglement of the micro and macro levels on the basis of two current groups of works.

10.02. – 05.05. Flesh & Bone. Jürgen Baumann, Birgit Dieker. Sculpture, Fotografie. Repro Matrone, Detail (linke Seite der Abbildung), Birgit Dieke, 2018, Photo: © VG Bildkunst, Bonn 2023 | Grafik: Bernhard Rose

The human body as an object of media staging, political appropriation and projection site of collective attributions, but also as a topic of human aestheticization is the focus of the works of Berlin artists Jürgen Baumann and Birgit Dieker. In a jointly developed exhibition concept, they juxtapose sculptural and photographic groups of works in a dialogical manner, thus creating an artistic space for the complex discussion of body-specific aspects of the present.

10.02. – 05.05. Flesh & Bone. Jürgen Baumann, Birgit Dieker. Sculpture, Fotografie. Repro Knochenarbeit, Detail (rechte Seite der Abbildung), Jürgen Baumann, 2020, Photo: © VG Bildkunst, Bonn 2023 | Grafik: Bernhard Rose

The human body as an object of media staging, political appropriation and projection site of collective attributions, but also as a topic of human aestheticization is the focus of the works of Berlin artists Jürgen Baumann and Birgit Dieker. In a jointly developed exhibition concept, they juxtapose sculptural and photographic groups of works in a dialogical manner, thus creating an artistic space for the complex discussion of body-specific aspects of the present.

23.09.2023 – 07.01. Cutting the Void. Andreas Schmid, Asako Tokitsu. Painting, Sculpture, Textile art, Mixed.

Known for their impressive spatial techniques, the Berlin-based artists Asako Tokitsu and Andreas Schmid will use artistic means to re-experience the rooms on the upper floor of the ZAK from 22nd of September. They stand in the tradition of Minimal Art. For the elongated rooms of the ZAK, they will use spatial techniques to reenvision the alignments of the halls. The change of layout will make a visit to the exhibition a special aesthetic-artistic experience.

23.09.2023 – 07.01. Bildhauerei. Und Anderes. Simon P. Schrieber. Painting, Sculpture. Repro Der lange Abschied, Simon P. Schrieber

With Bildhauerei. Und Anderes, ZAK presents the Berlin artist Simon P. Schrieber, who places the human figure at the centre. The figures oscillate between archaic, arabesque and abstraction and showcasing Schrieber's unique artistic language. His works are characterized by concentrated volumes, exceptional compositions, and masterful handling of materials. In addition to sculpture, watercolours and drawings offer insight into his artistic development.

23.09.2023 – 07.01. Das Herz des Orients gewinnen! Armenier, Eziden und Kurden bei Karl May und wie sie sich selbst sehen. Mixed. Repro Titelbild Karl May „Durchs wilde Kurdistan“ (Grafik Carl Lindeberg), Karl-May-Verlag, Bamberg /Radebeul, 1962, Photo: © Karl May Verlag Bamberg Radebeul

The Oriental tales of the bestselling author Karl May (1842-1912) serve as a connecting cultural-historical narrative for the self-portrayal of the three communities with cultural-historical objects, photographs and documents. The problems and topicality of his novels are discussed against the background of current debates.

A cultural-historical exhibition by Dr. Thomas Kramer

09.06.2023 – 01.04. Bismarck-Streit. Kultfigur und Denkmalsturz in einer interaktiven Ausstellung. Márcio Carvalho, georgia Krawiec, Monumental Shadows , Projektion Bismarck . Painting, Sculpture, Fotografie, Mixed.

During his lifetime, Otto von Bismarck's admirers dedicated more than 30 monuments to him – today, more than 700 monuments and a large number of Bismarck products are documented. The exhibition provides information on the Chancellor and the development of the cult figure. The artworks on display focus primarily on Bismarck's role in colonialism. Visitors are invited to engage in constructive debate and further develop the exhibition as a place for democratic debate.

27.05.2023 – 20.08.2023 Fotografien 2003–2023. Jan Sobottka. Fotografie. Repro Bruno Ganz, Jan Sobottka, 2009, Fotografie

For 20 years, Berlin photographer Jan Sobottka has been an attentive observer of the Berlin art scene. He portrays well and less known celebrities as well as the typical Berlin public. Although he does not work in a studio but in galleries and museums, he manages to create well-composed photo portraits in addition to spontaneous snapshots. His “models” – from Patti Smith to Bruno Ganz – follow his sparing and clear instructions.

27.05.2023 – 20.08.2023 Und dann. Bernhard C. Striebel. Painting, Sculpture, Textile art. Repro O.T., Bernhard C. Striebel, 2023

The painter and installation artist Bernhard Striebel works in the expanded coordinates of constructive-concrete art and combines space, image and language in his exhibitions, which are often site-specific. The elongated exhibition halls of the ZAK – Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst (Centre for Contemporary Art) in the Old Barracks on the Citadel inspired him to create an expansive installation of light, colours and words.

10.02.2023 – 07.05.2023 Ein schöner Gedanke, so weich und spitz. Margareta Hesse
10.02.2023 – 07.05.2023 Lass mich mich nicht kriegen. Raphael Nagel
10.09.2022 – 01.01.2023 Big City Baby. (ZAK – Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst) Painting, Print. Repro It's you I'm thinking of, Lars Unkenholz, 2022, Öl auf Leinwand, 170 x 140 cm

Under the title Big City Baby, 39 young artists studying at the Weissensee School of Art bring the big city into the "small city" - the citadel. Located in Berlin but shielded from the outside world by thick walls, the Spandau Citadel becomes a model city, a conurbation of observations, counter-designs and commentaries on the metropolis.

10.09.2022 – 01.01.2023 Ausnahmezustand. Polnische Fotokunst heute. Filip Berendt, Kuba Dąbrowski, Karolina Gembara, Weronika Gęsicka,, Aneta Grzeszykowska, Magda Hueckel, Pawel Jaszczuk, Irena Kalicka, Anna Kieblesz, Zuza Krajewska, Adam Lach & Dyba Lach, Diana Lelonek, Michał Łuczak, Rafał Milach, Igor Omulecki, uvm. (ZAK - Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst) Fotografie. Repro aus der Serie Strajk, Rafał Milach , 2020-2021, Photo: courtesy the artist and Jednostka Gallery, Warsaw

The exhibition "Ausnahmezustand. Polnische Fotokunst heute" - curated by Grazyna Siedlecke and Jens Pepper - provides for the first time an overview of the vital contemporary Polish photo scene. Particularly against the backdrop of the worsening political situation and the progressive censorship of cultural processes, the work of the 28 photographers involved articulates the possibilities and limits of artistic production.

07.05.2022 – 21.08.2022 Die weite Ebene nach Westen, bis zum Horizont. Horst de Marées. (ZAK - Zentrum für aktuelle Kunst) Painting. Repro Verdun-de-Lauragais (Detail), Horst de Marées, um 1965, Tempera auf Papier, 61 x 83 cm

The ZAK -Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst presents in the comprehensive exhibition Die weite Ebene nach Westen, bis zum Horizont the work of the painter Horst de Marées, whose biography and work development reflect in exemplary form contemporary history and formative aspects of the art of the last century.

07.05.2022 – 21.08.2022 Über die Zeichnung hinaus. Zeitgenössische Zeichnung in Berlin. Sonja Alhäuser, Anke Becker, Matthias Beckmann, Laura Bruce, Claudia Busching, DAG, Jorn Ebner, Myriam El Haïk, Kati Gausmann, Bjørn Hegardt, Hanna Hennenkemper, Timo Herbst, Peter Hock, Birgit Hölmer, Hannes Kater, Mark Lammert, Pia Linz, Petra Lottje, Leon Manoloudakis, Nanne Meyer, Ulrike Mohr, Tomoko Mori, Alex Müller, Bettina Munk, Kazuki Nakahara, Manfred Peckl uvm. (ZAK - Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst) Print. Repro Looking at Clouds, 2021, Tusche auf Papier

The exhibition “Über die Zeichnung hinaus” shows the abundance of current drawing positions in Berlin: exuberant pictorial narrative and strict reduction, figuration and abstraction, documentation and site inspection, illusion and its suspension, the microscopic and the generous, drawing as performance, in books, in space or in animation film. Whether on paper or in combination with other media, drawing goes beyond itself and crosses borders.

07.05.2022 – 21.08.2022 Nachbilder. Jochen Schneider. (ZAK - Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst) Painting, Print. Repro Ohne Titel, Jochen Schneider, 2021, Graphit auf Papier, 29,7 x 21 cm

We perceive Nachbilder with closed eyes, as memories, when the original light stimulus of the concrete pre-image has already faded away. It is similar with the works of Jochen Schneider – what we have seen resonates and provides the impetus for his drawings and then for images within us that now tell their own, new story – without providing final answers.

18.03.2022 – 19.06.2022 fünf plus x. Studierende der Szenografie hinterfragen Thoraks Bronze-Pferde für Hitlers Reichskanzlei. Hannah Beeck, Doruk Çiftçi, Noelia Contreras, Laura Lara, Lena Mehner, Andrea Palacios, Lara Scheuermann, Prapatsorn Sukkaset, Yasemin Tural. Sculpture, Media Art, Mixed.

In cooperation with the Stadtgeschichtliches Museum Spandau, students of the master’s program “Bühnenbild_Szenischer Raum” of the TU of Berlin have taken part in the project “Idea Seminar for the Expansion of the Exhibition: ‘Enthüllt. Berlin und seine Denkmäler’ in connection with Josef Thorak’s pacing horses'” in the winter semester 2021/22. They dealt with the development and testing of new forms of narrative spatial design.

05.02.2022 – 18.04.2022 Train Lines. Benjamin Kunath. Print. Repro “Augustusplatz” aus der 238-teiligen Serie “Fahrplanaushang 2019”, Benjamin Kunath, Feder in Tusche auf Papier, Photo: Moritz Zeller

The exhibition “Train Lines” is dedicated to the microcosm of “public transport” from the perspective of an artist who has been working as a driver for the Leipzig tram since 2014 and for the Berlin underground since 2021. This gives rise to drawn systems of notation of a social, political and psychological nature that provide a very concrete insight into the world of thought. Filtering and abstracting mirrors of our cities over a longer period of time and thus an artistic social atlas.

05.02.2022 – 18.04.2022 Fragile Formationen. Eva Berendes, Heike Gallmeier, Gloria Zein. Sculpture. Repro from the series „Gates“ (Detail), Eva Berendes, 2020, Photo: Heinrich Holtgreve/Ostkreuz

The exhibition brings together new, space-related works by the Berlin artists Eva Berendes, Heike Gallmeier and Gloria Zein. They deal with capacities of pictorial setting under the aspect of being temporary, fragile and ephemeral. The artists juxtapose the architectural complex of ideas of political and material permanence of the Citadel with concepts of provisional lightness, changeability and movement.

05.02.2022 – 18.04.2022 Figure. No Figure. X. Anja Billing, Salome Haettenschweiler, Paola Neumann, Verena Schirz-Jahn. Painting.

The four female painters in the exhibition “Figure. No Figure. X.” position themselves in the border area between figuration, structure, systematics and colour field. Their works unfold a field of contemporary painting that is as contrasting as it is rich in relationships and that is both classical and experimental.

12.11.2021 – 13.03.2022 Charterflug in die Vergangenheit. 50 Jahre Besucherprogramm des Berliner Senats für NS-Verfolgte. (Bastion Kronprinz | Zitadelle Spandau) Mixed. Repro aktuell – Zeitschrift für ehemalige Berlinerinnen und Berliner, Ausgabe 8/Dezember 1971, Photo: Foto: Wolfgang Bachmann | Grafik: Maximilian Jung

The Berlin Senate’s Emigrant Programme has been in existence for over 50 years: While the Federal Republic of Germany was gradually coming to terms with its National Socialist past, the Berlin Senate launched the Emigrants Programme in 1969. Former Berliners who had to leave the city due to persecution under fascism were invited to see their old home again. Over 35,000 people, the majority of them of Jewish origin, accepted the offer.

The Leipzig painter Henriette Grahnert (*1977 in Dresden) moves brilliantly between, in and above the visual coordinate systems of a post-postmodern image culture. Her painterly compositions – which sometimes seem like collages at first glance – are fed by quotations, associations and reminiscences.« [In German: Harriet Zilch]

The exhibition “Konrad Sommer and the Butterfly on the Nose” shows the largely unknown work of the Munich painter in an extensive retrospective. Konrad Sommer (1915 – 2012) can be seen as an exception in the art of the second half of the 20th century. After the Second World War, he devoted his work, which unfolded in various media, primarily to depicting landscapes.

Repro Look what you made me do, © Christian Perdix, 2018 , Öl auf Leinwand, Photo: Claudia Sauerstein

One of the main focuses of the Spandau art collection is landscape painting from the beginning to the middle of the 20th century. In the past four years, works by Hans Zank / Willy Gericke and Hans Szym have been added through donations, bequests and acquisitions. In future, they will supplement the holdings for the new museum presentation in the Neukladow manor.

“feldern” stands for exchange, expansion of one’s own thought and action patterns and experimental interaction. The artists in the exhibition cooperate with a wide variety of disciplines and are now bringing together their studies and thoroughly controversial reflections on the interplay between systematics and randomness, self-observation and external observation, knowledge acquisition and artistic form-finding processes in a space-consuming installation.

Over the summer months, Michael Hischer's kinetic large-scale sculptures turn the citadel into an outdoor art space. 20 works from a multi-year cycle will be shown.

They are designed for the outside space, the wind moves them and allows them to be recognized as kinetic sculptures. The movement of its elements is left to chance due to the weather. In this way, time is inscribed in the sculptures and not only made tangible as four-dimensional objects.

12.06.2021 – 19.09.2021 Koloniale Fragmente. Martin von Ostrowski. Painting, Sculpture, Performance. Repro Koloniale Fragmente (Detail), Martin von Ostrowski, Photo: © VG-Bildkunst Bonn

The search for aesthetic appeal and intellectual stimulation characterizes Martin von Ostrowski’s passion for collecting. At flea markets and online auctions he not only finds curios, decorative items and kitsch, but also special historical finds. His studio resembles a cabinet of curiosities made of precious and banal things, of art, kitsch and above all – to speak with Susan Sontag – of the corresponding portion of camp, which is often one of the strategies of queer (self-) staging.

The sculptor Monika Brandmeier (* 1959 in Kamen, NRW) works also with formal reduction and material opulence. For the ZAK she is developing an extensive exhibition with installation objects, sculptures, drawings and video works that were created between 1984 and today. In the comparison, grouping arrangement or concentration of selected works, two basic approaches of the artist become clear.

28.03.2021 – 03.07.2021 Flucht nach Vorn / Migration im Fokus. Mixed.

Which people flee for which reasons?What responsibility does Europe have when it comes to the causes of flight or the reception of migrants? “Migration in focus” is an analysis of these correlations and explains our immigration society as a continuous process. “Escape forwards” ties in with this on the individual level: The exhibition portrays different people with migration experiences in regards to their wishes, their achievements and their struggle for recognition in Germany.

28.03.2021 – 03.07.2021 Homestory Deutschland. Schwarze Biografien in Geschichte und Gegenwart. Mixed. Repro Ausstellungsplakat HOMESTORY DEUTSCHLAND Schwarze Biografien in Geschichte und Gegenwart © ISD-Bund e.V.

The existence and contributions of people of African origin are still insufficiently recognized in Germany, both in historiography and in public discourse. And if they are, they are often spoken about by others instead of letting them have their word. Homestory Germany breaks with this: 27 biographies tell of racism and exclusion in Germany, but also of the diversity and work of black people – in the course of our common history and in all areas of our society.
