Featured Events in Berlin in August, 2024 (May Updated)

The International Spy Museum is proud to host this official exhibition of iconic vehicles, all used on-screen by 007 and his many allies and adversaries. While James Bond is a fictional character, he embodies the spirit of many real spies in this museum. These men and women, from around the world, were inspired by over six decades of the Bond film franchise and its enduring cultural influence. Bond In Motion is a celebration of six decades of 007 vehicles. The exhibition features 17 iconic pieces from the EON Productions Archive and the Ian Fleming Foundation. Props, models scale and clips from the films are also on show alongside cars, motorcycles, submarines, and more from the Q Branch garage.

The Berlinische Galerie has devoted over 1000 square metres to presenting its collection. Waiting to be discovered among the roughly 250 works on show are paintings, prints, photographs, architecture and archive materials rarely or never displayed before. Walking around this exhibition is like time travel and takes visitors through Berlin in 17 chapters: the Kaiser’s era, the Weimar Republic, the Nazi dictatorship, the new beginnings after 1945, Cold War in the divided city, and the counter-cultures and unconventional lifestyles that evolved in East and West under the shadow of the Wall. In East Berlin, an alternative art community developed from the late 1970s. In West Berlin from the late 1970s, aggressive art by the “Neue Wilden” placed the divided city back in the international limelight.

LAS Art Foundation is pleased to present Pollinator Pathmaker, a living artwork and participatory project conceived by artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg. This impactful initiative in interspecies art uses algorithmic technology to generate planting schemes for gardens, computed to support the greatest diversity of pollinating insects possible. It signals a shift toward the post-anthropocentric thinking necessary to face the current climate and biodiversity crises, and toward the non-human aesthetics and experimental formats that pave the way. Ambitious and future-minded, it is exemplary of how art can act as a driver for change, and offer new perspectives on our shared planet. Growing in the forecourt of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, the LAS- commissioned garden will be the first edition outside of the UK. LAS has committed to amplifying Pollinator Pathmaker’s impact by undertaking an extensive public campaign, which calls upon local communities, hobby gardeners and activists to get involved in pollinator protection by planting their own version of the artwork – what the artist refers to as DIY Editions – via Ginsberg’s free online tool: www.pollinator.art. Responding to the alarming decline in pollinator populations in recent decades, Ginsberg has worked with horticulturalists, pollinator experts and an AI scientist to devise an algorithmic tool that designs bespoke gardens for pollinating insects. Supported by the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, the LAS Edition will be customised for Continental Europe, and will feature more than 7,000 plants of 80 different varieties, planted over a 722-square-metre plot.

The exhibition is aimed at gamers of all ages, but also at visitors who have little experience with computer games. The fact that computer games have developed into a leading medium is no longer a daring thesis. The social and aesthetic significance of the interactive and multimedia medium can no longer be overlooked. The computer game has freed itself from its origins as a laboratory experiment and toy and has become "the" medium of digital society, somewhere between pop culture, entertainment and art. With the opening of the exhibition »The World of Games« in the fall of 1997, the ZKM was one of the first art institutions worldwide to give video game culture a permanent public platform in an art context. Since then, the ZKM has repeatedly reshaped the presentation of games in a series of different exhibitions.

Already 2,000 years ago, the emperors of China had portraits of loyal officials and generals made in order to display them in their palaces. This presentation features depictions of meritorious officers that the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736–1795) had commissioned for their display in the hall of fame Ziguangge to demonstrate his power and legitimacy. In the 20th century they became spoils of war not one but two times. Located adjacent to the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Ziguangge is a two-storey pavilion. During the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736 – 1795), the building was a venue for military rituals and banquets and housed paintings with battle scenes of the imperial military campaigns and portraits of meritorious officers.

The Asian Civilisations Museum presents Textile Masters to the World: The global desire for Indian cloth with a selection of exquisite garments and textiles at its Fashion and Textiles Gallery. Featuring 27 pieces from the National Collection and loans, the exhibition spotlights the historic global impact of textile production in India, and its role as evidence of trade and cultural exchange between India and regions such as the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe from the fourteenth to nineteenth century. From fashion and furnishing, to gift exchange and heirlooms, visitors can marvel at the artistry and craftsmanship of early textile masters, and discover how Indian textiles influenced local designs, materials and fashions wherever they were traded.

Monstrous like Medusa, beautiful like Aphrodite, faithful like Penelope – many women from ancient mythology are known primarily as stereotypes of traditional female roles. Inspired by a surge in new readings of these myths, the Antikensammlung (Collection of Classical Antiquities) is taking a fresh look at the goddesses and heroines.

In summertime, a magical atmosphere unfolds that slows down the pulse of everyday life and creates space for the poetry of life. The long days stretch out over the world with a golden brushstroke. A sense of freedom and possibility weaves through the air as people break their usual rhythm and immerse themselves in the promise of holidays. Kang Contemporary tunes into the feeling of summer and wants to express the diversity of its creativity. In ‘Under the Surface’, the gallery becomes an open stage in which art enters into dialogue with the summery feelings of the city: Sabine Laidig, Mile Saula, Gudrun Petersdorff, Katrin von Lehmann and Lisa Glauer use painting and drawing in very different ways to trace the sensory and imaginative qualities of two-dimensional media. At the centre of their positions at the interface of abstract art, landscape painting and artistic research is art as a shimmering medium of experience that appeals to the senses. Behind the sensually appealing surfaces of the works lies a profound examination of their artistic subjects.

The Fourth Plinth is renowned across the globe for bringing world-class contemporary art to London’s most prominent historical public square and Antelope is the 14th commission since the programme of artworks began in 1998. Supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Samson Kambalu’s bronze resin sculpture restages a photograph of Baptist preacher and pan-Africanist John Chilembwe and European missionary John Chorley, taken in 1914 in Nyasayland (now Malawi) at the opening of Chilembwe’s new Baptist church. Chilembwe is wearing a hat, defying the colonial rule that forbade Africans from wearing hats in front of white people, and is almost twice the size of Chorley. By increasing his scale, the artist is elevating Chilembwe and his story, revealing the hidden narratives of underrepresented peoples in the history of the British Empire in Africa, and beyond. John Chilembwe was a Baptist pastor and educator who led an uprising in 1915 against British colonial rule in Nyasaland triggered by the mistreatment of refugees from Mozambique and the conscription to fight German troops during WWI. He was killed and his church destroyed by the colonial police. Though his rebellion was ultimately unsuccessful, Malawi, which gained independence in 1964, celebrates John Chilembwe Day on January 15th and the uprising is viewed as the beginning of the Malawi independence struggle. The artist, Samson Kambalu, was born in 1975 in Malawi, and now lives and works in Oxford where he is Associate Professor of Fine Art and a lifelong fellow at Magdalen College, Oxford University. His sculpture, which was made in Deptford, was selected by the Fourth Plinth Commission Group, chaired by Ekow Eshun, following an exhibition at the National Gallery where nearly 17,500 people commented on the selection. For over two decades, The Fourth Plinth has showcased the work of great artists who have not shied away from tackling the important issues of the day. Yinka Shonibare CBE considered the legacy of British colonialism in Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle. Katharina Fritsch commented on gender equality and the masculine posturing in the square with her work Hahn/Cock. Michael Rakowitz’s recreation of the Lamassu, a winged bull and protective deity that was destroyed in Nineveh (near modern day Mosul) in 2015 shone a light on the devastating impact of war on cultural heritage, and Heather Phillipson’s THE END presented a giant swirl of whipped cream, a cherry, a fly and a drone that transmits a live feed of Trafalgar Square, suggesting both exuberance and unease and responding to Trafalgar Square as a site of celebration and protest. Antelope will be on the Fourth Plinth until September 2024 and is a highlight of the inaugural Sculpture Week London, a new initiative that will celebrate public art throughout London in a collaboration between Frieze, Sculpture in the City and the Mayor of London's Fourth Plinth Programme. The Fourth Plinth is funded by the Mayor of London, Arts Council England and Bloomberg Philanthropies. It features on Bloomberg Connects, the free app that allows users to access over 100 museums, galleries, and cultural spaces around the world anytime, anywhere. Through the Fourth Plinth guide, users can access a range of exclusive content, including a video of Kambalu discussing the Fourth Plinth installation and his practice more broadly, information on past commissions and a welcome from Justine Simons OBE, London's Deputy Mayor for Culture and Creative Industries. Samson Kambalu said: “I am thrilled to have been invited to create a work for London’s most iconic public space, and to see John Chilembwe’s story elevated. Antelope on the Fourth Plinth was ever going to be a litmus test for how much I belong to British society as an African and a cosmopolitan. Chilembwe selected himself for the Fourth Plinth, as though he waited for this moment. He died in an uprising but ends up victorious.”

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.

Noa Eshkol (1924-2007) war Tänzerin, Choreografin, bildende Künstlerin, Pädagogin und Theoretikerin. Sie gründete 1954 das Chamber Dance Quartett in Tel Aviv und entwickelte minimalistische Kompositionen ohne Bühnenbild, Kostüme oder Musik. Ihr Ziel war die absolute Konzentration auf das Wesentliche. Eshkol hatte ein tiefes Verständnis für Körper und Raum und entwickelte 1954 gemeinsam mit dem Architekten Abraham Wachmann ein einzigartiges Notationssystem, das körperliche Bewegungen aufzeichnet und der Dokumentation und Kommunikation dient: die Eshkol-Wachmann Bewegungsnotation (EWMN). Damit leistete sie einen wichtigen kulturellen und wissenschaftlichen Beitrag zu Entwicklungen in der Medizin, der computergestützten elektronischen Musik und der Kybernetik. Die umfangreiche Präsentation gibt Einblick in ihre Bewegungsforschungen seit den 1950er Jahren, Choreografien, Sprachstudien, Tänze, Textilkunst und das von ihr entwickelte Notationssystem für menschliche und tierische Bewegungen. Den Gegenpol zu ihren minimalistischen Choreografien und grafischen Tanznotationen bilden in der Ausstellung großformatige und farbintensive Wandteppiche, die sie ab 1973, mit Ausbruch des Jom-Kippur- Krieges gemeinsam mit ihren Tänzer*innen aus gesammelten und gespendeten Stoffresten schuf. Mit der Präsentation zum Leben und Werk dieser wegweisenden Künstlerin greift das Georg Kolbe Museum für die Institution wichtige Themen wie den modernen Tanz, Körper im Raum und die Architektur der Moderne auf. Die Ausstellung zeigt außerdem Werke zeitgenössischer Künstler*innen, die von Eshkols Praxis inspiriert wurden. Darunter Werke von Sharon Lockhart, Yael Bartana und Omer Krieger sowie eine neu für die Ausstellung entwickelte Arbeit von Ayumi Paul.

The show, curated by Christine Nippe, features landscapes punctuated by abstract elements, which are often overshadowed by an expressive sky with fragments of clouds. The majority of the natural representations, which are provided with a special color, are interspersed with geometric shapes that create dynamics, depth and rhythm. These elements create a simultaneous space. A central component of Jezierski's paintings is light: muted and bright colors as well as light and dark contrasts meet atmospherically and form their very own shimmering aura. At the same time, Jezierski goes back to the actual question of abstraction. She is more concerned with showing the width, depth and monumentality of a space than with depicting a specific landscape. With the help of abstract elements, cuts and shifts, she disrupts her and our memory and experience of a specific place and allows us to enter a space in between abstraction and figuration. Layers of color such as rock structures, waves and clouds pile up in her pictorial spaces and yet are repeatedly disturbed by abstract hatching, squares and structures. Her play with figuration and abstraction takes place in a zone of in-betweenness. It is precisely this tipping point - in English Verge - that the artist is interested in. How many figurative clues, such as the sky or towers of clouds, does it take to convey a sense of space? Or rather, when does abstraction with cuts and shifts dominate over figuration? Michelle Jezierski invites viewers to engage in this perception experiment and questions our sensory impressions with her painting. Michelle Jezierski comes from a family of musicians. At the age of 17 she decided to become a visual artist. At the Berlin University of the Arts she begins studying with the renowned professor of sculpture Tony Cragg. Cragg's influence is that she learns a lot about the use of space during this time. This was followed by a scholarship at the Cooper Union in New York with Amy Sillman. She finally completed her studies with Valérie Favre and has lived in Berlin ever since. Jezierski received scholarships from the Kunstfonds Foundation and NICA. Her works are in international collections. Her work has been shown in the Kunsthalle Dessau, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Kunsthalle Emden, among others. A publication will be published to accompany the exhibition.

The exhibition includes three work complexes with participatory wall and floor works that can also be activated sonically by the audience as instruments. The music performance designed for the exhibition is created in collaboration with musicians from Berlin and New York who define themselves as women or who are gender non-conforming. With the use of felt and sound, Tsabar refers to Joseph Beuys , whose works are being shown at the same time in the Kleihueshalle. The exhibition is the start of a series of contemporary presentations in dialogue with the collection presentation of Beuys' works. Naama Tsabar (born 1982, Israel, lives and works in New York) opens up hidden spaces and systems in her interactive works, redefines gender-specific narratives and shifts the viewing experience to a moment of active participation. Her sculptures and installations can be used as instruments by the audience or in collaborative performances. In the transformational process between sculpture and instrument, between form and sound, the intimate, sensual, physical potential of her works becomes tangible. By collaborating with local groups of female or non-binary performers, Tsabar opens up new spaces of feminist and queer history.

Who has not ever wished to slip into a painting of earlier times, to meet the people there and to learn how they lived at that time? The exhibition “Rein in the painting! A journey through time for children" invites children and families, one of the four famous Augsburg monthly pictures from the 16th century. century to discover. Like in a pop-up book, they immerse themselves in the painting and the life of time. People depicted in the painting become storytelling figures and opening up access to the four themes: people, play, trade and nature. But did life really look like this 500 years ago? What does the painting tell us about the past and what does it not show us?

A stand up comedy special featuring the best performers Berlin has to offer! Join us for an unforgettable evening! The Wall Comedy Club was founded on a simple idea, that literally everything can turn into a joke that can help make people's days a bit brighter. From our capacity (69 lol), to our mistake in asking the German government for permission to build a new Berlin Wall, (and they approved for some reason!), we'd like to invite you to a celebration of how far the stand up comedy scene has grown in the last few years in Berlin. What can you expect from the show? We've invited some of the best international comedians who perform regularly in Berlin and throughout Europe for a two hour stand up comedy show. We have a lovely bar with drinks and cocktails and will take a 15 minute intermission roughly half way through the show. If you want to see some of the best Stand Up Comedy in Berlin, this event is for you! About the Club: The Wall Comedy was founded in January 2020, truly the best (or worst if you have ever heard of something called the news ) time. We have stand up shows every day apart from Monday and all the shows are in English except for one show on Sundays which is in German. Our goal is to help grow the stand up community in English and create a truly open space for comedians to shine. What about refunds? Do you do them? And Can I pay with a credit card? Yes to both! We ask that if you request a refund, you give at least one-day notice so we have time to process it. If you try to refund too close to the event, we might not see it and can't refund a ticket within a couple hours of the event. Oh, and we definitely take cards. What if I want to buy at the door? We can sell you tickets at the door, but only if we aren't sold out. If you see the event is sold out online, we won't have any tickets available at the door. However, if we do have open space, we sell tickets for €15 at the door! Where are we located and when do we open? We are located right at Boxhagener Platz in Friedrichshain. We open at 8pm and the show will start at 8:30pm. If you are looking for something to do before the show, there is park nearby and a ton of restaurants and activities. We are even close to the East Side Gallery if you want to look at Berlin's original Wall before dropping by the Wall Comedy Club! We look forward to seeing you!
