In the spring of 2023, the Haus am Waldsee presents the first comprehensive retrospective of Berlin-based artist Margaret Raspé (b. 1933 in Breslau), who created a significant body of artistic work in the immediate vicinity of the Haus am Waldsee over the past five decades. In her practice, Raspé developed an ideosyncratic artistic language that considers life and art and their everyday conditions in unison.

Pierre Klossowski's art acts and oscillates like "stopped pantomimes" in the permeable border areas between reality and fiction, the factual and the ghostly apparent. In the erotic game of homage and desire, signs, meaning, essence and transformed matter are mixed up, becoming an event for the body and the senses. Last but not least, the exhibition is an opportunity to explore the serious-cheerful universe of a great spirit that is now a classic.

With immersive installations, the artist Emma Adler casts light on the shallows of the internet and uses different levels of reality to examine human perception as the key to understanding the world. Her works focus on the relationship between reality and media representation. (J. Stellmann)

In this exhibition, the artist studies relations between kung fu culture and practices of self-defensive care within Black communities. The Berlin-based artis Philip Crawford (*1988, USA) asks us to slow down, to relax and breathe deeply, to join him in his study of these images, and then to do it all again. The exhibition features a series of prints and related video work.

Myriam El Haïk explores the topos of landscape in this exhibition. The artist approaches the subject through the sensations that a landscape evokes in her. The emotional space designed in this way in drawings and paintings is also reminiscent of the patterns of carpets, which the artist perceives as landscapes that are experienced physically as well as tangible. Her painterly works are supported by musical compositions in the exhibition.

Julius von Bismarck (*1983) explores in his art how people define their place within their immediate environment and how society negotiates the concept of nature. He frequently uses deconstruction as a tool to question how, as a society, we evaluate nature as landscape and who asserts the right of interpretation.  For his show at the Berlinische Galerie, von Bismarck adopts a biographical approach for the first time, delving into his family history.

On the basis of friendly encounters, so the title "Au rendez-vous des amis", SaarART 2023 presents not only artists from Saarland, but also artists from Lorraine and Luxembourg. Four young artistic positions will also be shown in the "shop window" of the Saarland art scene in Berlin, the Saarland Gallery.

With J+ 1, Jarmuschek + Partner presents a special exhibition concept: Each of the artists in the gallery program not only presents a current work of their own, but also a selected guest. Each of these constellations also reveals personal details about the inviting artists and opens up individual perspectives on their artistic positions. Mutual references can be observed just as much as shared artistic views or conducted discourses.

Artist Maya Schweizer won this year’s DAGESH Art Award for her video installation Sans histoire. The prize is awarded by the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB) and DAGESH: Jewish Art in Context. In her artwork, Schweizer engages with the Jewish Museum Berlin as a site of ritualized remembrance. Reflecting on the award’s question “What Now? From Dystopias to Utopias,” her answer is open—sans histoire: both without history and without story.

During the Cold War, some remarkable big buildings emerged in West Berlin as new locations for science, research and the arts. After years of neglect and now technically obsolete, most of these buildings are threatened with demolition. Ever since they appeared, these architectures have often been criticised as unsightly and inefficient. That view is being challenged today by a group of academics, cultural workers and politicians who appreciate them as achievements of modern Western technology.

Nasan Tur explores the political and social conditions that define our times. His works are experimental arrangements that draw attention to ideologies, social norms and behavioural codes and expand our options for individual action. To this end, he examines statements, gestures and images found in the media or in the public space and distils them into miniatures reflecting current social crises and discourse.
