Berlin Senate 2023 Work Stipend Exhibition Opens Across Two Venues

The group exhibition 'A Home for Something Unknown' presents works by 27 international artists living in Berlin who received the Berlin Senate 2023 visual arts work stipend. For the first time, the show is spread across two venues: Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) and Haus am Lützowplatz. The twofold increase in scholarship recipients and heightened international representation underscore Berlin's commitment to visual arts. Artists employ video, sound, painting, sculpture, installation, and performance to examine coexistence and social phenomena. A key theme is the collection of traces and signs through poetic, documentary, or archive-based practices, revealing fissures and power imbalances. The question of self-image is central, with artists acting as historians, archaeologists, or mediators. The title suggests 'home' as a space for unnoticed sensations and ideas. Curators are Ines Borchart, Layla Burger-Lichtenstein, Susanne Mierzwiak, and Katharina Schilling.
