In October, Adela Lovric visited the major survey of work by artist Aleksandra Domanović at Kunsthalle Wien which displays works created over the past 18 years that are playfully grounded in Domanović’s upbringing in former Yugoslavia. The exhibition remains open until January 26th.

In her review, Lovric discusses the amplifying power of Domanović’s work, unpicking its references to Balkan life, and reflecting on her shared collective memories with the artist.

In her review, Donnella writes on the human need for self-reflection and the solipsistic quality of the diary form.

We’d like to wish you a restful holiday period from us here at Berlin Art Link. Thank you to all our readers, contributors, and partners for your continued enthusiasm in 2024.

During the holiday season, we look back at a selection of 2024 articles featuring exhibitions still open, beginning with Johanna Hardt’s article on Esben Weile Kjaer. Writing on Kjaer’s exhibition ‘Milky Way’ at Trauma Bar und Kino, Hardt looked forward to the artist’s large-scale solo exhibition at Kunsten Museum of Art in Aalborg, open now. Hardt mediated on Kjaer’s engagement with the universal, infinity, and the out-of-control.

“Once somebody or a whole ecosystem dies, we lose their physical presence. What lingers from the person, animal, system, is that we had a connection to them.”

Dan Lie is one of the four winners of this year’s Freunde der Nationalgalerie prize, awarded to young contemporary artists working in Berlin. Lie visualizes natural cycles of transformation and mutual dependence within ecological exchange.

Mats Antonissen interviews Dan Lie following their prize winners’ exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof, discussing collecting ephemeral art, the colour yellow, and finding other-than-human protagonists for the planet.

Festival transmediale presents ‘(near) near but — far’, its 38th edition taking place at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) and silent green Kulturquartier from January 29th to February 2nd 2025.

The program negotiates how algorithms place us in new and weird intimacies with each other, as well as exploring the qualities of closeness we lose through the algorithms’ machine-driven actions. The festival asks: how can the capacities of technologies foster relations better adapted to responding to the complexities of our individual and collective discontents?

The weekend program features lectures, conversations, screenings, performances, and interventions at HKW, as well as two days of workshops and working sessions at silent green Kulturquartier as the prologue to the festival.

For more information and to buy tickets:

The festival has been funded as a cultural institution of excellence by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) since 2004.

“What’s ailing these not-quite-adult-sized, mute figures? Vienne doesn’t say, either. The artist prefers staging silence over explicating it. It’s up to us, viewers of her three-part Berlin retrospective, to attend to the quiet and make sense of it.”

In his review, Mats Antonissen writes on artist Gisèle Vienne’s three part presentation, across Haus am Waldsee, Georg Kolbe Museum, and Sophiensaele, discussing adolescent anguish, the dangers of excess thought, and silence.

Dance festival Tanztage Berlin returns 9–25th January to Sophiensaele, blending critical reflection with artistic experimentation through a program of performances and workshops.

For its 34th edition, Tanztage reflects on scarcity, body politics, and burnout, exploring the burdens that bodies carry in a world that sees them mostly as problems to be solved. Between tracelessness and hypervisibility, depths and surfaces, limitation and liberation, here bodies inhabit ambiguous spaces in-between.

With ‘Diaries’ as the central theme, this year’s PAF Olomouc explored (self-)reflection and documentation anchored in wider sociopolitical contexts, often considering the contemporary condition dictated by digital technologies and the very nature of (self-)representation with all its quirks and caveats.

Among the festival’s highlights were works by George Kuchar, Jeremy Deller, Emily Pope, Michelle Williams Gamaker, George Finlay Ramsay & Coby Sey and Qow & Theo Alexander.

“‘Forgive Us Our Trespasses’ thoughtfully squeezes the remaining potential out of the white cube, subjecting this seemingly neutral container to uncomfortable questions and making metonymic shifts to what lies outside—displacements, genocides, encampments and segregation of “alien” populations.”

As part of our feature topic Alien, Andrey Shental writes on exhibition “Forgive Us Our Trespasses” at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, considering its reworking of the exhibition space away from being a Western-centric container, institutional critique, and structures within Western legal culture.

As an avid flâneur, artist Cyprien Gaillard often captures scenes from his walks on camera. For ‘Retinal Rivalry’ presented at OGR Torino, he turned his lens to Germany, where he is based, transforming his observations into an artwork that prods beneath the surface of mere images of public spaces.

Adela Lovric writes on the major video installation and considers the obscure, the value of spectacle, and memorialisation.

“At their most wondrous, they produce an almost fairy-tale quality, like walking in a dream where objects emerge or hover just beyond vision.”

‘The Unsettled Soul’ is Chiharu Shiota’s first solo presentation in the Czech Republic, exhibiting her string- and thread-based installations at Kunsthalle Praha. Drawing upon various life experiences of pain, longing, joy, and grief, Shiota balances delicacy with chaos whilst communicating with broad human themes such as home and body.

Our feature topic Alien continues for December, thinking through how the figure of the “alien” might be repurposed as an emancipatory political tool, with both the extra-terrestrial and extra-legal in mind.
