The main work, a lifelike nude woman in her prime sitting on her bed, looking at her crotch with a mirror, causes irritation. Especially in the context of the exhibition title and the name of the cycle of works "Mother". Is it the artist's mother or mistress? Or is she representative of the female human race, which is present to us all at least as a mother. Is this verism simply a portrait or an homage?

The exhibition Tribe by the artist Justyna Adamczyk is a spectacular start to a cooperation with the OP ENHEIM Foundation in Wroclaw, Poland. In her work, the artist deals with the fetishisation and aestheticisation of trauma, using various creative techniques, especially painting and sculpture. Justyna Adamczyk (born in 1981 in Opoczno) graduated from the E. Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, majoring in painting in 2007.

Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) used everyday materials to sculpt and paint monochromatic – mostly black – assemblages of which she considered herself to be an extension. Inspired by Alexander Calder and his works George Warren Rickey (1907-2002) became one of the most important representatives of kinetic sculpture. Galerie Michael Haas will show kinetic, indoor and outdoor, wall and ceiling sculptures as well as prints and collages of the artists.

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.

In a historical first, the Vorderasiatisches Museum (Museum of the Ancient Near East) and the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart (National Gallery of Contemporary Art) join forces on a trans-historical, site-specific presentation by British artist Liam Gillick throughout the halls of the Pergamon Museum.

Eva Fàbregas takes over the historical hall of the Hamburger Bahnhof with a monumental, site-specific installation. The artist's largest solo exhibition to date expands the boundaries of sculpture, inviting visitors to a sensual, spatial experience. Amorphous, flesh-colored sculptures and a sound installation transform the museum's railway station architecture, which is characterized by industrial iron girders, into an organically grown space.
