- In YOGA, Eva Berendes presents new works from a series of the same name: freestanding textile bodies over which yoga mats are draped, or from which they emerge. On the walls, plaster reliefs with openings appear as reduced interventions. Materials, colours and arrangements unfold their pictorial qualities between construction, adaptation and improvised assemblage. The fabric screens address questions of abstract painting: colour, support and surface are extended into space. Colour appears as a textile covering whose seams – turned visibly outward – expose the logic of its own making. As in many of her works, the artist pays particular attention in this new series to the relationship between front and back. She reinterprets the traditional wall-mounted picture – with its visible front and concealed, purely structurally necessary reverse – within space, conceiving of this relationship as one of equivalence. Front and back remain recognisable as such, yet receive the same degree of attention. Design and construction can no longer be clearly separated, moving between image, body and architectural fragment. The artist employs yoga mats not only as material carriers of colour, texture and form, but also as carriers of meaning. They point to a Western urban culture in which body, posture and self-perception are closely interconnected. Nude, pink and black tones, batik fabrics, fastening straps and bra straps likewise originate from a context in which the body is shaped, organised, clothed and supported. Here, the relationship between front and back finds a further correspondence: forward and backward bends in yoga form a sequence of expansion and contraction. What opens outward is set against what turns inward; front and back, inside and outside remain distinct while simultaneously existing in relation to one another. Abstraction in twentieth-century painting opened up a realm of the pre-conceptual – an experience not mediated primarily through narrative or meaning, but through materiality, perception and attention. YOGA draws on this art-historical tradition while simultaneously engaging with the artist’s contemporary context of experience and practice. The cultural associations of the materials remain as present as questions of emptiness and presence, space and body, balance and composition, which are newly explored through a play of materials and forms, repetition and variation.Description

- In AREA CODE begegnen sich Skulpturen von Janine Eggert und Zeichnungen von Alekos Hofstetter als unterschiedliche, aber miteinander verschränkte Zugänge zur gebauten Welt. Die Ausstellung versteht sich als Verdichtung von Codes – materiell, architektonisch und imaginär – und lädt dazu ein, Skulptur und Zeichnung als Schnittstellen zwischen Realität, Erinnerung und Projektion zu lesen. "Area Code" verweist auf Systeme der Zuordnung und Adressierung: auf geografische Markierungen ebenso wie auf technische und soziale Codes, die Räume, Objekte und die Wahrnehmung strukturieren. Als englische Übersetzung für "Vorwahl" steht der Begriff für den Moment vor der telefonischen Verbindung – eine Schwelle, an der Zugehörigkeit und Distanz bereits festgelegt sind. In der Ausstellung wird AREA CODE zum gemeinsamen Denkraum, in dem Skulptur und Zeichnung als Träger solcher Codierungen erscheinen: als Formen zwischen Funktion und Abstraktion, zwischen gebautem Raum und utopischer Projektion.Description
B-Part Exhibition AREA CODE

- Circumnavigate Klasse Konrad, Universität der Künste Berlin With Circumnavigate, the Konrad Sculpture Class at Berlin University of the Arts is staging an exhibition at B-Part Exhibition am Gleisdreieck. The exhibition explores the relationship between artistic position, space, and group under the conditions of temporary architecture. The B-Part—a modular, dismantlable wooden architecture in temporary urban use—serves not only as an exhibition venue, but also as an active frame of reference for the works on display. Its scale, tectonic presence, and transience shape the spatial settings and invite an examination of questions of temporary use, densification, and aesthetic interactions. The space is not understood as a neutral container, but as the starting point for a process of circling, reading, and negotiating. The challenge of Circumnavigate was to exhibit with a large group in a comparatively small space. Instead of autonomous individual presentations, a joint spatial concept was developed that focuses on relationships, overlaps, and resonances. The title refers to a practice of circumventing and circling around—of navigating between spatial conditions, individual approaches, and collective form-finding. Formal decisions were made in a collaborative process. The restriction to colorless or natural-colored works creates a visual restraint within which materiality, surface, scale, and spatial interventions gain significance. The works enter into an open dialogue with each other and with the architecture, without arranging themselves hierarchically. Circumnavigate sees itself as a spatial experiment: How can collectivity be exhibited without leveling differences? Where do aesthetic and content-related condensations form? And how can an exhibition space be read as a jointly supported structure? The exhibition invites visitors to explore these questions as they move through the space. Project supervision: Prof. Karsten Konrad, Rüdiger Lange Participating artists: Everett Babcock, Ivana Boersma, Simon Boetzkes, Zocha Bryksy, Bela Böttcher, Cristina Cordett, Lisa Eckardt, Taleja Engelke, Marleen Franke, Ariane Hakami, Sophia Hallmann, Clara Höhre, Ronja Look, Gibrán Macías, Sofia Maspero, Lilian Nachtigall, Lilith Nossol, Alida Pardey, Max Prange, Ski, Luise Sandberger, Maria Steyer, Johannes Thiel, Anna Volkmar, Franz Warnke, Sarah Westebbe, Karyna Yarmolynska The B-Part Exhibition space accompanies the future development of the Urbane Mitte Am Gleisdreieck with artistic autonomy and thus at the same time enters into a dialogue with the overarching themes of the overall project - forms of New Work, Co-working, Culture and Sport - and creates synergies between artistic, cultural and social approaches. The artistic director of the B-Part Exhibition is Rüdiger Lange (loop - raum für aktuelle kunst). Description
