Bpigs Highlighting the contemporary art scene from the producer’s point of view

Berlin Independents Guide is an artist-run communications platform for project spaces, galleries, and independent initiatives in Berlin. We offer three types of membership for art spaces:
regular, non-profit , and adopt a project space (gallery is "adopting" the costs of a project space)

In complicated times, the act of coming together with others takes on a particular urgency. Getting together, exchanging ideas and experiencing face-to-face encounters allows us to work through, understand and process our reality, and thus position ourselves in relation to it. There are few locations better suited to this than the kitchen, a place of transformation and pleasure, hospitality and solace. It is known for being the heart of the party precisely because we linger there in (relaxed) conversation, perhaps while looking for something to eat or pulling another bottle out of the fridge.

For CHEZ AXEL, we are transposing this idea of the private kitchen into a quasi-public space. The participating artists each receive a recipe from Axel Obiger, which they can then respond to in their own way – be that through a process of interpretation, modelling or transformation. The exhibition is to be installed on the day of the opening – cooked up in a flash, as it were. Visitors can expect a “feast” of art, and of course there will also be plenty to eat and drink. We look forward to seeing you at the opening of CHEZ AXEL. Feel free to bring a healthy appetite!

This is why the Urban Practice Glossary F - like Funding Exchange event offers the opportunity to find out about funding opportunities and to network. Funding programmes and networking partners will present themselves in 10-minute inputs from 6:30 pm, including the District Cultural Fund, neighbourhood management funding programmes, decentralized cultural work and many more. Afterwards, there will be plenty of time for personal discussions with the participants at the market stalls.

Opening tomorrow Thu, 19 Dec at 15h at Tresor Foundation Berlin: A Canvas for the City: Tresor Foundation Presents Public Art Installation by Kajika Aki
On view 19 Dec 2024-5 Jan 2025
The Tresor Foundation announces its upcoming installation, CLAIM FOR PEACE, featuring the evocative works of Parisian artist Kajika Aki. Displayed on the iconic Tresor MegaFence from December 19, 2024, to January 5, 2025, the artworks transform a 90-meter industrial structure into a dynamic canvas, embodying the spirit of "Kunst am Bau" (art on buildings) creating a dialogue between art, community, and urban renewal.

Located on Berlin's historically industrial Köpenicker Straße, the MegaFence is more than a display surface—it is a reclaimed space for artistic expression, bridging the past and future of the neighborhood. Currently facing a large construction site, the street's evolving landscape finds resonance in the works’ themes of destruction, renewal, and the transformative power of art. This initiative reflects Tresor’s commitment to revitalizing spaces and supporting public art as a vital element of urban culture.

The presentation, at which the artist Kajika Aki and Dimitri Hegemann will talk about the project, will take place on 19 December at 3 pm. It will be followed by an after party open to the public at OHM Club at 4 pm.

r e s t - on view
Until January 11th
With Nuria Fuster, Tom Früchtl, Peter Scior
The English word “rest” refers in German to what is left. In the exhibition “rest” the three artists use temporary situations in their special living spaces as an opportunity for their work. From the seemingly irrelevant, overlooked aspects of their personal environment, they each develop their own visual language in which the traces of change and transition are discussed.

Nura Fuster’s installations and photographs create fragile balances from found, unmanipulated architectural relics through targeted interventions.

Tom Früchtl’s sculptures and paintings create traces of use and decay in complex compositions using the classic means of painting.

With their precarious subject matter, Peter Scior`s containers and boxes bring to the forefront the light situation, which is the actual subject of his painting.

The card game on self-worth revolves around consistent assessments of oneself and one’s fellow players. Evaluations are made based on a psychological personality score, the OCEAN score. The game’s setup and concept deliberately invert strategies of anonymous digital evaluations by replacing them with authentic self- and other-perceptions. Visitors are invited to play the card game on self-worth at the Tiny Data Casino. Guided by a croupier, they are captivatingly led through the game.

Amplifying for : In the atrium of the Rirkrit Tiravanija's work demo station no. 8 offers a daily stage for presentations and performances, which are accessible free of charge.🎟

On 22 December, we will be using this platform from 3-5 pm and would like to enter into an exchange with you. As a student collective organised on a voluntary basis in Berlin, we are also concerned with current developments in cultural policy, which is why we would like to call on all visitors to use their voice and become active with us. We welcome you to join us in discussing the Berlin Senate's cuts to culture, to paint posters for the next demonstration and to write letters of protest to the Berlin Senate. Let's set an example with creative ideas and a lively exchange - for a cultural programme of accessibility and visibility!

We look forward to seeing you and hearing your voices!📢✊

Join for the opening of PEACE IN ECHOS - a group show by Monae Sims, Valery Soy and Rick Li on 6 Dec at 19h.k.sims_ will be showing parts of her recently shot film To Hurt a Fly.

In her own words, Monae writes:
“To Hurt A Fly is a visual narrative created by of Monae Kyhara for her 3rd year MFA graduate project. This is about a woman wakes up in a bar, and is revisited by faces from her past to break the cycle. Still in the early stages of its creation, she will present a story about the trauma within change, and how it is not always returned a memory you can recall, but a reaction.”.

Anne-Marie Fischer: Blueprints on view “Sometimes your thoughts are slower than your hands. You watch what happens and you react instinctively. It has a lightness to it, where unintentional things can emerge.” - Anne-Marie Fischer on her collage process.

This Sunday BAKING BOOKS: a public intervention and performance by Baran Caginli .caginli

📅 Sunday, November 24
🕒 3 pm until sunset
📍 In front of Rosa-Luxemburg-Str. 45

Curated by

On September 12, 1980, Turkey experienced its third military coup. The coup led to severe human rights violations, including the imprisonment and torture of young leftists like Baran Caginli’s father, who was a member of a leftist youth organization.

Caginli’s father’s forbidden Marxist-Leninist books, considered prohibited literature, had to be destroyed to protect his family from being arrested, too. To dispose of the books, Caginli’s grandparents decided to burn them in their fireplace. However, the sheer number of books created a fire so constant that it raised suspicion among the villagers. To cover their actions, his grandmother baked bread continuously for a week and gave it out for free to the whole village.

In memory of his father’s burned books, Baran Caginli will bake bread shaped like Lenin, Marx, and Rosa Luxemburg as part of his public intervention this Sunday🥖
