Paradies
In the organizer's words:
For Berlin Art Week 2025, the exhibition Paradise will open at the Stiftung Kunstforum Berliner Volksbank on September 10. In it, contemporary artist and curator Christian Thoelke explores depictions of the city from Berliner Volksbank's art collection. He views them as an expression and testimony of subjective world views within a culturally and politically divided Germany. Thoelke juxtaposes these works with his own works of deserted architecture from the GDR. Based on his personal experiences, the East Berlin artist reflects on the profound change in his living environment after reunification. He traces the loss of significance of these spaces as well as the conflicts and potentials of social upheaval.
The exhibition offers a multi-layered view of the urban landscape as a mirror of individual and collective transformation and builds a bridge to the present day: what processes of change are our society undergoing today and how do we experience them - as silent observers or active co-creators?
Paradise runs until December 7 and rounds off the 40th anniversary of the Kunstforum Berliner Volksbank Foundation and the Berliner Volksbank art collection.
