Featured Events in Berlin in May, 2025 (March Updated)

The exhibition will display 60 artworks from the Odessa Museum of East and West and 25 artworks from the Berlin Gallery, comparing the similarities between the two collections and exploring the artistic origins between Ukraine and Western European countries. The Odessa Museum of East and West was founded in 1923 and is one of the most important foreign art collection institutions in Ukraine. In September 2023, 74 core collections from the Odessa Museum of East and West's painting collection were sent to Berlin to avoid being affected by the war. This collection is all European paintings from the 16th to 19th centuries, including paintings by many well-known artists such as Frans Hals, a Dutch Golden Age painter, Bernardo Strozzi, an Italian Baroque painter, Andreas Achenbach, a German romantic landscape painter, and Frits Thaulow, a Norwegian impressionist painter. The exhibition will be divided into 9 chapters, first introducing the German-Ukrainian art transfer and protection cooperation project and its background, and then displaying the collection according to different art schools and genres.

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.

Donkeys are one of the earliest farm animals raised by humans. This exhibition will use paintings, sculptures, pottery, papyrus and other objects collected by the Egyptian Museum and the Near Eastern Museum in Berlin to detail the use of donkeys in different fields such as agriculture, military and religion in the ancient world, and present the importance of donkeys to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia from different perspectives. People often think that donkeys are stubborn, stupid and lazy, but they don’t know that this idea is based on prejudice based on misunderstanding of donkeys’ behavior. In fact, donkeys are smart, loyal and self-reliant animals. Donkeys mainly play an important role in civilian life, but they can also be used in military scenes, taking on the responsibility of carrying food and equipment, and calming excited horses.

Kamishibai-Erzähltheater frei nach H. C. Andersen In China lebte einst ein Kaiser. Täglich empfing er Besuch. Alle lobten den prachtvollen Palast. Alle lobten den großartigen Garten. Aber das Allerbeste war die Nachtigall. Was? Die Nachtigall? Die hatte sich beim Kaiser nicht vorgestellt. Frechheit! Das musste sofort geändert werden. Am Hof des Kaisers wird die kleine Nachtigall ein Star. Aber kann das auf Dauer eine Erfüllung sein? Eine poetische Geschichte über Freiheit, Selbstfindung und Wertschätzung – erzählt mit Scherenschnittbildern im Kamishibai (Bildkarten).

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.

The Gemäldegalerie is showcasing 60 paintings from the Museum of Western and Eastern Art in Odesa, the famous port city in the south of Ukraine that has in recent years been ravaged by war.

The large-scale special exhibition, which follows on from a small preview presentation in the spring of 2024, is an extraordinary collaborative project funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
