In summer 2025, Galerie Nord is presenting two parallel exhibitions: “Körper Speicher Tempel” by Berlin sculptor Susanne Ring with an installation of ceramic sculptures, paintings and drawings and the participatory project “Artministration” by curators Julia Heunemann and Ulrike Riebel, which self-ironically examines administrative practices in art and culture.
Im Sommer 2025 präsentiert die Galerie Nord zwei parallel laufende Ausstellungen: „Körper Speicher Tempel“ der Berliner Bildhauerin Susanne Ring mit einer Installation aus keramischen Skulpturen, Malerei und Zeichnung und das partizipative Projekt „Artministration“ der Kurator*innen Julia Heunemann und Ulrike Riebel, das selbstironisch Verwaltungspraktiken in Kunst und Kultur untersucht.
June is Kunst am Bau Month in Berlin-Mitte. A diverse program consisting of artist talks and guided tours to historic and newer works offer a glimpse into the complex decision-making process of site-specific artworks.
The exhibition dedicated to the people and initiatives whose decades of commitment through art, culture, science and mediation have contributed significantly to the transformation of Berlin’s urban space and broadened the view of Berlin’s colonial past. The exhibition is co-curated by Ibou Coulibaly Diop and Julien Enzanza.
The exhibition with contributions from Field Narratives (hn. lyonga & Lene Markusen), Sarnt Utamachote, Theresa Weber, Zhou Yichen & Lauryn Youden is dedicated to those lives and losses that often remain invisible or unappreciated in our society’s dominating culture of grief and remembrance. The artistc positions reflext forms of grieving and remembering that resist this unequal recognition of loss.
The exhibition »KaKaKaTi Nno Munange« shows new photographic works by DeLovie Kwagala aka Papa De. Kwagala uses the camera as a means of self empowerment and self-questioning. The photographs recall a family’s photo album and explore the fault lines between the generations. Which memories do we carry with us, and how do we newly tell our own history?
For the 2025/26 programme year, artist Neda Saeedi has been selected by a jury to create a site-specific work. Neda Saeedi’s sound installation, created specifically for the Klosterruine, explores how historical sites are remembered. “Who is remembered, who is excluded, and how do we deal with violent histories or missing monuments? Are we dealing with the past in a way that allows us to shape the future?
For the day of liberation on May 8th Mitte Museum opens the multi-media exhibition “Der Krieg und ich – Kriegskinder 1939 bis 1945” in the museum’s garden. The exhibition focusses on children’s perspectives and their experiences of the second world war. Visitors can walk through three containers where they can interact with objects, experience sound documents and historical film excerpts. Especially young visitors are invited to reflect on the way migration and war affect their own lives.
in sight is the first program sequence of DISLOCATIONS. It examines how different spaces condition the (in)visibility of bodies—showing, controlling, and inscribing them into history. Queer, female*, and subcultural perspectives on archives disrupt imposed orders through moments of shift and distortion. The exhibition employs projections to highlight what often remains in the dark: videos by Philipp Gufler and Naomi Rincón Gallardo and a sculpture and video by Constantin Hartenstein appear in the dimly lit exhibition space, displayed alongside slides from galerie weisser elefant. These works contribute to a feminist reinterpretation of archival materials in a display designed by Martha Schwindling. The exhibition is in dialogue with a performance by Lola von der Gracht and Danila Lipatov’s research on queer subcultures in the late GDR.
