the quiet space // kraftwerk berlin aug 1–17 | 3pm–8pm daily (except mondays)free + open to all
no schedule. no program. come for soft beams of natural light, and stillness.

kraftwerk used to generate power for the city. now it holds a different kind of energy, a rare moment of calm in the middle of berlin’s constant noise.
 We invite you to come and read. walk. meditate. Do yoga, play chess, lie down. or simply sit in silence. We just ask for no phone calls, no talking, no food in the space. 
Spaces like this are becoming harder to find for free, in a city with a non stop programme, this is an invitation to pause, to breathe. And you don't need to buy a coffee.

helped bring this project to life with .foundation and .

If you need to step out of the noise—come by. We are open to the public from 15:00 on Friday. stay 5 minutes or 5 hours.

Opening on Friday July 18th HOLE IN THE FENCE

Lucy Bachmann, Otto Brink, Ozan Drapatz, Maria Felsmann, Valentin Frisch, Soraya Hannemann, Nik Hellenthal, Till Köhler, Xenia März, Neo Müller, Friedrich Oberüber, Mandarino Öge, Mar Sala, Maximilian Schmitt, Henrik Schmitz, Rosa Witt
Curated by the team in collaboration with Sigrun Drapatz

Opening: July 18, 2025 7 pm
Exhibition: July 19 to 20, 2025

Fences as if grown naturally.
TALL TALL TALL. WIDE. LONG. LONG. LONG. CONTINUOUS. WITH ONE GATE. WITH SPIKES.
Most fences tell us very brutally and harsh, with elbows and a clenched fist. Stop!
THIS IS WHERE MINE BEGINS. HERE IS MINE NOW. KNOCK OR RING THE BELL.
I DON’T HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU. YOU CAN WAIT FOR A LONG TIME.
A FENCE LOCKS YOU IN. A FENCE LOCKS YOU OUT. A FENCE IS FEAR.
Ants climbed up on me. The sun was shining.
THE FENCE KEEPS ME OUT. UNTIL THERE IS A HOLE TO SLIP THROUGH. AND THEN
THE HOLE WILL GROW BIGGER AND BIGGER. BECAUSE SO MANY WANT TO GET THROUGH. THERE’S A DEMAND
SO TO SPEAK. FOR A HOLE IN THE FENCE. AND THEN MORE HOLES ALONG THE LONG
LONG FENCE AND SLOWLY THE FENCE DISAPPEARS. SLOWLY BUT SURELY. AND
THEN WE ONLY SEE IMPRINTS IN THE GRASS WHERE THERE USED TO BE A FENCE.
Otto Brink

The exhibited works were created in April 2025 during a two-week artists-in-residence program at the Kulturbrennerei Ganzlin, a former distillery in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The residency was initiated by Maria Felsmann and Mandarino Öge. It was aimed at young people who are studying art or are interested in art. Sigrun Drapatz accompanied and curated the project.

This Saturday PANKE OPEN STUDIOS 2025
19. Juli 14 - 22 Uhr, 20. Juli 13 - 18 Uhr I July 19 2 - 10 pm, July 20 1 - 6 m

For the first time, Panke Open Studios 2025 will bring together three important studio buildings in Berlin - Uferhallen, Gerichtshöfe and Chausseestraße 48 - for a joint event. With this first-time cooperation, Panke Open Studios is creating a new platform for exchange between artists and the public. At the same time, other cultural venues in this area are opening their doors. The result is an inspiring cultural trail along the small river Panke - an invitation to experience art where it is created, to gain insights into current artistic processes and at the same time to follow the footsteps of the local urban and cultural history.

Initiation, Concept, and Artistic Direction: Cilia Jonda, Donna Volta Newmen, Anna Zett
Press and Public Relations: Gunhild Flöter
Design und Layout: Katharina Reinsbach

Die Panke Open Studios 2025 finden in Kooperation mit dem Bezirksamt Mitte, Fachbereich Kunst, Kultur und Geschichte, statt.

Gefördert durch die Bundesrepublik Deutschland und das Land Berlin im Rahmen des Städtebauförderprogramms Sozialer Zusammenhalt - Zusammenleben im Quartier gemeinsam gestalten

On view ✏️ MAHDAD ALIZADEH 🗿

nonexisted dialogues: the Reverse Flow

Until August 23

Opening Hours
Wed - Fri 12 – 7 pm, Sat 12 – 6 pm

We are pleased to present a solo exhibition with new works by young sculptor and drawer
Mahdad Alizadeh (*1993 in Tehran / Iran).

[...] "I want to be free, with the way I install things," Alizadeh says — only united by an overall sense of eclecticism, and by a play of opposites: natural and synthetic, found and the carefully placed, fluid and stiff, pristine and precarious.
However, clay anchors his practice, and it seems almost like the malleable material is a metaphor for the way he works: in flux, intuitive, and always in the moment. [...]
Eventually, one and a half years ago, Alizadeh’s work slowed down. "I became sick, and I couldn’t do anything. I stopped working," he says. As the artist recovered, he took up drawing. First with pastels, which has always been part of his practice. "This time, I was like a kid, this became my clay practice. I went to the studio every day. I started small, and the drawings on paper became bigger. This one" — he points to a large sheet of paper laid out on the floor — "is partly a sketch. Some appear too empty. But for me, at this point, they are finished." [...]
