Munich/Berlin. From April 26 – 28, Gallery Weekend Berlin presents its 20th edition – spread across 69 locations with works by more than 100 international artists. The 55 participating galleries will showcase the diversity and quality of Berlin’s gallery landscape with top-class exhibitions by both young and established artists. The BMW Group Cultural Engagement has been supporting Gallery Weekend Berlin as main partner since 2013. Together with Gallery Weekend Berlin, BMW is continuing the “Studio Visit” video series this year, meeting Berlin-based artists in their studios.
As part of the jointly initiated series, artists working in Berlin open the doors to their studios. This year, Julius von Bismark and Trisha Baga provide insights into their everyday artistic lives and add to the portfolio of the continuously growing series. Aziz Hazara, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Sophie Reinhold, Josefine Reisch and Farkhondeh Shahroudi, who are also represented by participating galleries of Gallery Weekend, have already been hosts of “Studio Visit”. The video series can be followed on gallery-weekend-berlin.de and the BMW Group Culture YouTube channel.
Antonia Ruder, Director Gallery Weekend Berlin, says: “We are delighted to be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Gallery Weekend Berlin with BMW as our long-standing partner. What began as a private initiative by a small group of Berlin gallery owners in 2005 is now a unique network of 55 galleries that invites visitors to a joint tour every spring. Guests travelling from all over the world can be sure that they will continue to see exciting, diverse and first-class exhibitions by established and emerging artists.”
Gallery Weekend Berlin allows visitors the opportunity to get to know new names or deepen existing passions. The exhibitions curated for Gallery Weekend by the participating galleries will open on Friday, April 26, from 6 to 9 pm in each gallery. All Berlin and international guests are also invited to visit the galleries on Saturday 27 and Sunday April 28 (Saturday 11 am to 7 pm, Sunday 11 am to 6 pm).
