“And with that all the stories lost their diversity. Only those who had borne their alphabets suffer their diversity come back, tells of those who had borne their diversity.” A diffused light catches lines of text in the spaces between flowing lines; lets shadows create there and fade again just as quickly. Onur'imen's recounts dissolve temporal and geographical boundaries by expanding mythological traditions with contemporary perspectives and projecting dynamic landscapes into the gallery's exhibition room in the tower. The written variations and additions invoke a subtle resistance to established stories, their resistance and inherent narratives and thus to everything that draws legitimacy from those very stories.

School of Casablanca ist ein Kooperationsprojekt zwischen der ifa-Galerie Berlin, KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin) und ThinkArt (Casablanca), das von der Sharjah Art Foundation, dem Goethe-Institut Marokko und Zamân Books & Curating unterstützt wurde. Gestartet im Jahr 2020, greift das Projekt die innovativen Ansätze der Kunsthochschule Casablanca aus den 1960er Jahren auf und beleuchtet einen entscheidenden Wendepunkt in der marokkanischen Kunstgeschichte nach der Unabhängigkeit von 1956. In dieser Zeit entwickelte Casablanca ein völlig neues Selbstverständnis und brach radikal mit Traditionen. Eine tragende Rolle spielte bei dieser Entwicklung die Kunsthochschule Casablanca mit ihren modernen Ansätzen, künstlerischen Ideen und pädagogischen Methoden. Sie griff unter anderem auf das Bauhaus-Manifest aus dem Jahr 1919 von Walter Gropius zurück und wurde zu einem wegweisenden Forum. School of Casablanca knüpft an die Ideen, Traditionen und Fragestellungen der Casablanca Art School an und verankert sie im Heute und im zeitgenössischen Denken. Auch im einundzwan- zigsten Jahrhundert stellt sich die Frage, wie die Rolle und die Bedeutung von Kunst und Design in der Gesellschaft neu gefasst werden können. Welche Institutionen, Kunst- und Designhochschulen, welche Praktiken und Lernformen brauchen wir gegenwärtig? Wie produzieren wir Wissen und wie teilen wir es? Was ist ein kollektiver Lernprozess? Das Projekt startete 2020 mit einem Residenzprogramm: In den vergangenen Jahren haben die eingeladenen Teilnehmer:innen – Künstler:innen, Designer:innen, Kurator:innen und unabhängige Wissenschaftler:innen – an dem Ausstellungsprojekt School of Casablanca in Casablanca geforscht und gearbeitet. Sie überdachten dabei die gesellschaftliche Funktion und Sichtbarkeit von Kunst im öffentlichen Raum und vermittelten in Workshops, Diskussionsveranstaltungen, Stadtspaziergängen und Interventionen ihre kulturellen Praktiken in die Stadtöffentlichkeit. Im November 2023 folgte eine Ausstellung in Casablanca an fünf Orten. Mit der gleichnamigen Ausstellung School of Casablanca in der ifa-Galerie Berlin wird das Konzept und Projekt nach Berlin zurückgespielt. Die Ausstellung stellt einen Dialog zwischen den von den Kooperationspartner:innen in Auftrag gegebenen Arbeiten und den umfangreich recherchierten Archivmaterialien her, agiert in der Gegenwart und reflektiert gleichzeitig die Vergangenheit.

The photographs on view from the François Pinault Collection ‒ covering the genres of portraits, fashion, still lifes, architecture and photojournalism ‒ span from 1910 to the late 1970s and include works from the renowned Condé Nast Archive.

Hans Uhlmann's (1900–1975) abstract metal sculptures and drawings shaped the image of German post-war modernism. Imprisoned by the National Socialists in 1933, he designed sketches of delicate wire heads in prison, which he realized after his release. After 1945, the engineer graduate decided to only work as an artist. In the 1950s he increasingly developed the figurative forms into constructivist compositions. Uhlmann realizes large-scale projects in public spaces such as the sculptures in front of the Deutsche Oper and in the Hansaviertel. He exhibits in numerous galleries in West Berlin and, as a curator, also becomes a promoter of modern and contemporary art. Nevertheless, Uhlmann's drawings and sculptures are still largely unknown to a wider audience. The exhibition traces his creative periods from the 1930s to the 1970s. Using around 80 works - sculptures, drawings, photographs and archive material - she also examines his role as a curator, university teacher and networker in post-war West Berlin. It is the first comprehensive retrospective in more than 50 years.

The Kotti-Shop/SuperFuture collective runs an art and project space on the ground floor of the New Kreuzberg Center at Kottbusser Tor. Julia Brunner and Stefan Endewardt have established an artistic practice there in close exchange with their neighbors. The focus is on design processes in the urban environment as well as spending time together. The projects include playground planning as a community task, collage-based coffee drinking and large-format outdoor installations. Kotti-Shop/SuperFuture present their working methods in the Berlinische Galerie. They go beyond the approach of urban development in dialogue, which has often degenerated into empty phrases. Rather, they value the diversity of neighborhoods, understand public space as a common asset worthy of protection, and promote collaborative processes of negotiation and design. The expansive installation in the Berlinische Galerie shows collective art production and its framework conditions. And last but not least, all visitors can practice the art of lingering. As part of the exhibition, events and workshops with Kotti-Shop/SuperFuture will take place.

Where humans build, nature is destroyed. This dilemma is becoming increasingly clear in view of finite resources and the enormous contribution that construction contributes to global warming. Three Berlin projects show how opponents can become teammates. To do this, interdisciplinary teams rely on the potential of mushrooms, trees and clay using the latest technologies. Your buildings gain an ecological quality from the green materials, but also a completely new character: they breathe, grow and therefore come to life themselves. The surprisingly sensual experience of this architecture creates a conscious relationship with our environment and can therefore have a lasting effect that goes beyond the material. In the exhibition, expansive installations make this tangible. In addition, sketches, plans, photographs and models explain the three approaches and designs for a future-oriented building culture.

Moreover, due to the proprietary nature of much corporate tech, even the most curious among us cannot gain deeper insight. Today, we are forced to come to terms with our relative lack of power in the face of inscrutable systems. What symptoms of this personal and political drama register in the cultural field? What moods, symbols, or narrative frames capture the aesthetics and politics of exclusion, occlusion, secrecy, and speculation concerning technology’s inside? This extensive group exhibition at KW builds upon the recent book by Nadim Samman titled Poetics of Encryption: Art and the Technocene. It surveys an imaginative landscape marked by Black Sites, Black Boxes, and Black Holes—terms that indicate how technical systems capture users, how they work in stealth, and how they distort cultural space-time. These themes form the basis three chapters that play out across all gallery floors at KW. Spanning analogue and digital media, Poetics of Encryption features both historic and newly commissioned work by more than 40 international artists. Featuring artists: Nora Al-Badri, Morehshin Allahyari, American Artist, Emmanuel Van der Auwera, Gillian Brett, Émilie Brout & Maxime Marion, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Julian Charrière, Joshua Citarella, Clusterduck, Juan Covelli, Kate Crawford & Vladan Joler, Sterling Crispin, Simon Denny, enorê, Roger Hiorns, Tilman Hornig, Rindon Johnson, Daniel Keller, Andrea Khôra, Jonna Kina, Oliver Laric, Eva & Franco Mattes, Jürgen Mayer H., Most Dismal Swamp, NEW MODELS, Carsten Nicolai, Simone C Niquille, Trevor Paglen, Matthias Planitzer, Jon Rafman, Rachel Rossin, Sebastian Schmieg, Charles Stankievech, Troika, UBERMORGEN, Nico Vascellari, Zheng Mahler, among others. The exhibition architecture has been made in collaboration with architect Jürgen Mayer H. / J. MAYER H. and partners, architects. A dedicated website-as-catalogue also features three ‘web-first’ artistic commissions, rich media, and a bespoke AI chatbot. See poeticsofencryption.kw-berlin.de

Jill Mulleady (*1980 in Montevideo, Uruguay) and Henry Taylor (*1958, in Ventura, USA) share a long-standing, close friendship and an absolute dedication to painting. The duo exhibition You Me is testimony to a bond between two artists of different generations, origins and socialization, in which painting and the constant reference to art history act as a common denominator. In their figurative imagery, Mulleady and Taylor reveal ambivalences that inevitably demand a positioning of the viewer in relation to painting in the juxtaposition of the private and the public as well as the representation of bodies.

In her research, she focuses on the mental and physical expansion, expressing her thoughts through poetic texts in her "Research Diary on Optimal Mental Approach to Physical Limitations," which has been supported by the Impact Diversity Fund 2022. By using her own body as a research subject due to her neurological condition, she enhances her body's movement with consciousness, ultimately developing a choreographic method for and with her own body. Collaborating with videographer Macarena Cox since 2022, their "Monkey Mind Videos" on my YouTube channel brings Carolin's diary to life through voiceovers.
