Coming up !!!
We are delighted that filmmakers Jakob Kirchheim and Teresa Delgado are curating this year’s screening with an accompanying film program at SCOTTY. During the dark season, the films will be shown in the gallery window, visible from both inside and outside.

Jakob Kirchheim and Teresa Delgado’s selection of films references the annual theme „chaos“, which SCOTTY is working on this year: For „LEG-“ Doris Schmid has overlaid TV images of catastrophic weather events from the USA with paper cut-outs, thereby creating a strangely artificial reality of horror. You can see Deborah S. Phillips‚ „Von A bis Z im B“, first part of her Bethanien tetralogy, as well as the pandemic miniature „Torn“, both short films are originally shot and edited in 16 mm. In her video „Speed“ Teresa Delgado experiments with different running speeds and directions in various places around the world. Jakob Kirchheims „Madrid“ interprets the city via Super 8 film in an analogue cardboard 3 D model. „What’s up“ makes structured orders seem to jump out of the ordinary through abstract-geometric linofilm animations.  „Wedding Super 8“ shows streetviews of Müllerstraße in Berlin-Wedding on June 19, 2013 in different time-lapse settings, interacting with grafic special effects, which were created during film processing.

Teresa Delgado (Madrid, 1965) lives in Berlin, where she works as an author, filmmaker and university lecturer. www.agencia-tess.de Jakob Kirchheim sudied painting and lives as an artist, filmmaker and publisher in Berlin. www.jakob-k.com  Deborah S. Phillips works as an artist (who makes 2-, 3-, & 4-D images), as a translator and voice-over artist. www.deborahsp.wordpress.com Doris Schmid (1974, Schweiz) is a visual artist, who works with film, video, installation and photography. www.dorisschmid.net

Black Smoker is now on view at in Berlin
⁠
Featured in the upcoming solo exhibition ‘Black Smoker’ is the installation ‘Spiral Economy.' This work takes the familiar form of a vending machine, but dispenses fossilized ammonites—ancient marine life coiled into stone over millions of years.⁠
⁠
The infinity mirror inside reflects their spiral forms into a hypnotic loop, deliberately reinforcing the illusion of endless supply. This piece is a reflection of relentless extraction and our misplaced belief that the planet can endlessly provide.⁠
⁠
In the context of ‘Black Smoker,’ this work acts as a meditation on deep time and the absurdity of commodifying even the abyssal depths—the same regions we are currently preparing to mine.⁠
⁠.⁠
‘Black Smoker' runs through January 10, 2026.⁠

The exhibition Inceptive Spaces focuses on studios as generative spaces where art begins. Here, artists act like seismographs, processing the vibrations of society. In contrast to “exceptive spaces” – museums and galleries as sites of presentation – these formative processes usually remain hidden, like a black box. The exhibition seeks to open this box: traces of production appear alongside finished works, showing that art does not emerge suddenly but requires time, space, and care. Building on Nelson Goodman’s question “When is art?”, it becomes clear that the decisive moment lies at the beginning, in the studio. Without inceptive spaces, exceptive spaces will eventually wither. They are the foundation of cultural creation – like forests that give shade to a city and secure its lasting growth.

On view until November 15 WIRRWARR With works by Jan Klopfleisch, Maja Rohwetter and Alexandra Schlund.
Curated by Charlotte Bastian/ SCOTTY team
 Exhibition: 11.10.–15.11.2025
Opening hours: Fri 3 – 7 pm | Sat 2 pm – 6 pm

The exhibition presents three artistic positions that understand chaos not as a disturbance, but as a creative principle, engaging with the unpredictable and the processual.
Jan Klopfleisch experiments with a self-built harmonograph whose pendulum movements generate figures that are at times orderly, at times chaotic, condensing into complex structures.
In her wall piece, Alexandra Schlund subverts every familiar sense of spatial order – above and below dissolve, and a fluid spatial perception emerges.
Maja Rohwetter extends painting into the digital: in her augmented reality work, virtual fragments respond to visitors’ movements, merging with sound and surroundings into a constantly re-forming collage.
As different as the media and methods may be – from mechanical drawing to collage and wall piece, and on to digital extension – the artistic approaches revolve around a shared concern: making visible dynamic processes that keep our perception of space, image, and reality in constant motion.
The title Wirrwarr (tangle, entanglement) does not refer to mere disorder, but to the productive interweaving of forms, movements, and perceptions that becomes tangible in the works.
