Top 5 exhibitions for your art weekend

Openings, events, parties in Berlin post Berlin Art Week (25th Sept- 1st Oct): Corinne Wasmuht, LEAP festival. David Chippenfield at Neue Nationalgalerie

Austellung / Corinne Wasmuht

Until 1st November 2014 

If you missed the opening of the current solo show by Berlin artist Corinne Washmut due to the whirlwind of Berlin Art Week then worry not. On until 1st November, the show at Johan König features a number of her panel oil paintings which deal primarily with light, colour, fragmentation and the depiction of landscapes which although are unknown, ’non-places‘, seem so strangely familiar.

We met the artist before her exhibition – read the full interview here: Corinne Wasmuht – Ich bin immer noch auf der Suche

Johann König // Dessauer Str. 6-7, 10963 Berlin

Performance Event / BodyControlled #7 -Echo

In collaboration with Retune, a three day festival examining the links between humans, society, technology and culture, LEAP Berlin present ‚BodyControlled #7 -Echo‘. Consisting of three performances and an after party from 10pm, the event will include NY/Berlin based artist Christine Sun Kim performing a series of sound files entitled ‚Fingertip Quartet‘, and Berlin based artist Yutaka Makino whose visually and acoustically conditioned environments ‚provoke reflection on the acts of perception‘.

Vernissage / About Sculpture #3

Saturday 27th September – From 6pm

This weekend Galerie Rolando Anselmi will present the third chapter of their ongoing project, ‚About Sculpture‘ at a brand new venue in Mitte. Featuring two works by British artist Jodie Carey among five others, the show will continue the discourse of the project which is based on the relevance of sculpture in contemporary art, bringing into question the sclupture work of 24 international artists born between the 1960s and 1980s. 

Galerie Rolando Anselmi // Winsstraße 72, 10405 Berlin

Vernissage / David Chipperfield at Neue Nationalgalerie

Tuesday 1st October – 8pm 

Next Wednesday Neue Nationalgalerie will open its doors for ‚Sticks and Stones, an intervention‘, a prologue to the renovation of the venue by David Chipperfield architects which will begin early in 2015. The exhibition will involve British architect David Chipperfield transforming the upper hall of the space into a hall of columns consisting of 144 tree trunks, based on the ‚Sticks and Stones‘ English nursery rhyme. In the centre of the trees will be a ‚meadow‘ where interdisciplinary shows and events will take place, including ‚The Festival of Futures Nows‘ from 30th October 2014, which directed by Olafur Eliasson will champion arts education.
