Fall program

Forming Communities: Berliner Wege (Dào fǎ bólín, ér yóu yú wài) 
August 28, 2022–February 5, 2023
Maschinenhaus M1

Artists: aaajiao, Ellinor Aurora Aasgaard, Cao Kefei, Isaac Chong Wai, Chun Shu, Fan Popo, Han Feng, He Xiangyu, Benno Hinkes, Nadia Kaabi-Linke, Liao Wenfeng, Elizabeth Ravn, Tobias Spichtig, Young-jun Tak, Bignia Wehrli, Regina Weiss, Yi Ke, Yi Li

Forming Communities shows examples of the connections between artists from China, across Asia, and other parts of the world who are internationally active and based in Berlin. The result is a picture of an artistic landscape of diversity around a group of artists from Asia, which conveys the closeness and distance of the people involved on all semantic and sociological levels. The exhibition works with formats of invitation and networking; this includes regular meetings with the participating artists during the exhibition, which are open to all visitors.

Gernot Wieland: Turtleneck Phantasies
August 28, 2022–February 26, 2023
M1 VideoSpace

Gernot Wieland (b. 1968 in Horn / Austria, lives in Berlin) works in the media of film, drawing, and lecture performance. His work combines historical accounts with personal memories, merging the documentary and fiction. This results in complex works that seemingly incidentally, yet excitingly and often tragicomically sketch the state of a society. The video work, which premieres at the KINDL, represents an extension of his previous work in its remembrance of suppressed, unheard, and forgotten voices.

Rémy Markowitsch: No Simple Way Out
September 18, 2022–February 26, 2023
Maschinenhaus M2

With a time- and research-based artistic approach, Rémy Markowitsch (b. 1957 in Zurich, lives in Berlin and Lucerne) focuses on cultural phenomena and historical as well as political topics. At the KINDL, a representative selection of objects and photographs as well as text and video installations ranging from the 1990s to the present featuring animals and people will be shown for the first time across 400 square metres. Books are both a source and a cultural repository for Markowitsch’s works. They accompany visitors as an “imaginary library” throughout the exhibition No Simple Way Out.

Mona Hatoum: all of a quiver
September 18, 2022–May 14, 2023
Kesselhaus

With the exhibition Mona Hatoum, three Berlin institutions (Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Georg Kolbe Museum and KINDL—Centre for Contemporary Art) present the multifaceted work of Mona Hatoum (b. 1952 in Beirut, lives in London) in the first large-scale survey of her work in Berlin. The influence of Hatoum’s works on current discourses on body politics and displacement, as well as the emergence of new sculptural tendencies in contemporary art will be highlighted. KINDL’s Kesselhaus will feature her entirely new, site-specific installation all of a quiver that takes into consideration the specific properties of the space. The expansive installation consists of a tall, gridded, metal tube structure resembling the frame of a building in a state of construction or deconstruction. Hatoum’s work makes reference to the upheavals of the present and our precarious and shaky existence—witnessing the collapse of prevailing systems and attempts for renewal and reconstruction.

A collaborative project of the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, KINDL—Centre for Contemporary Art, and Georg Kolbe Museum.

Curator: Kathrin Becker
Supported by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds.
