Lu Yang
DOKU the Creator – Bhavachakra
July 10 – August 30, 2025

Since 2018, Lu Yang has been developing the shapeshifting avatar DOKU in collaboration with a team of scientists, 3D animators, and digital technicians using the latest in motion capture technology. DOKU is a digital shell, a virtual human named after the phrase “Dokusho Dokushi,” meaning “We are born alone, and we die alone.” Yang describes DOKU a virtual avatar that traverses simulated realities, embodying the dissolution of fixed identity and the recursive nature of consciousness.

In DOKU the Creator – Bhavachakra, Lu Yang creates an otherworldly realm where digital identity, karmic recursion, creative generation, and simulated consciousness converge. Combining post-apocalyptic imagery with the vivid aesthetics of video games, manga, anime, and Buddhist spirituality, the exhibition draws connections between incarnations across virtual, corporeal, and spiritual realms—suggesting a future in which the self and its representations may be endlessly remade.

Opening: June 13, 4-8 pm
Opening hours: June 14 and 15, 12-6 pm & by appointment

Kraupa–Tuskany Zeidler is pleased to present Forces of the Unknown, a three-day exhibition of new paintings by Berlin-based, New Zealand-born artist Simon Denny.

Installed in the charged context of the JW Marriott Hotel, directly across from the German Defense Department and the German Resistance Memorial Centre, the exhibition inhabits a space where historical resonance meets contemporary urgency.

Denny’s new works reflect the increasing military focus of the tech industry, especially within US and German innovation cultures. The new paintings have been produced using a custom-built suite of tools: modified CNC machines, reprogrammed plotters, and a hand-held industrial inkjet printer, originally designed for marking shipping crates. The resulting works shift fluidly between human and machine-made, analogue and digital, strategic and improvisational.

Opening: June 12, 6-9 pm

Mirror Life, Katja Novitskova’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, explores the evolving entanglement between biological life and digital systems, examining how generative technologies, synthetic materials, and physical memory reconfigure the boundaries of species and perception.
The exhibition unfolds in two of Katja Novitskova’s ongoing bodies of work. The sculptures within the Soft Approximation series (initiated in 2022) are composed of polyurethane resin embedded with minerals such as obsidian, hematite, and labradorite, they suggest a speculative taxonomy: entities born from a process that fuses 3D modeling, AI-driven crossbreeding, and studio craft.
The other body of work encompassed by the exhibition is Novitskova’s ongoing Earthware series (since 2019), which expands Novitskova’s ongoing inquiry into vision and representation. Cephalopods emerge through digital images transferred onto epoxy clay via a process the artist has developed over a decade.

In Conversation... Esther Schipper & Jochen Meyer

Berlin galleries Esther Schipper and Meyer Riegger have long been active in the eastern Asian art market—and both are strengthening their presence in the region by opening gallery spaces in Seoul, South Korea.

While the art market is shifting everywhere, Asian art feels more present than ever in the West—Korean artist Mire Lee’s recent installation at Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall is just one example. In 2024, Art Basel in Basel last year saw a 20 percent uptick in Asian gallery participation, and now, Gallery Weekend Berlin is positioning itself as a strong draw for showing Asian artists as well as attracting young, energetic Asian collectors to the German capital.

There’s plenty of potential for just as much exposure in the other direction. What synergies are possible between East and West? Kimberly Bradley met with Esther Schipper and Jochen Meyer of Meyer Riegger to find out.

May 2 - June 14, 2025

In Megan Plunkett’s second solo exhibition two new series of work comprise the exhibition: images of prop dollar bills shot in the desert beyond the outskirts of Los Angeles and mysterious portraits of heavyweight garbage bags. In her practice, she captures common objects and everyday scenes that disrupt viewers’ perception of the familiar by irrupting the common visual features.

Plunkett is interested in techniques of image making, questioning how images function in our everyday visual landscapes. With experience in forensic and objective photography, Plunkett crafts images with hidden details and unexpected twists achieved through a variety of analog photographic techniques.

Artist Studio / Install - Leelee Chan

For her solo exhibition with entitled Spiral Diaries, presents a new body of sculptures that continue her exploration of materiality, tactility, and the layered temporality of human time and deep time. She interplays abstract forms, intricate details, and unexpected materials to explore the complexity of how materials are entwined with human history and question the human-centric constructs of advancement and growth. Leelee Chan lives and works in Hong Kong.

Sie lässt abstrakte Formen, feinste Details und ungewöhnliche Werkstoffe zusammenwirken, um die komplexen Verflechtungen von Materialien und Menschheitsgeschichte zu ergründen und die anthropozentrischen Vorstellungen von Fortschritt und Wachstum zu hinterfragen.

Artist Studio / Install - Diane Severin Nguyen

debuts new work across photography and video for her first solo exhibition .
She transforms the gallery into a universe suspended between continuity and rupture: moving images reverse, freeze, and fall out of sync. Time shuffles—catching and releasing—circling back in uneven loops. Moments of alignment emerge, then vanish. Diane Severin Nguyen lives and works in New York.

Nguyen verwandelt die Galerie in ein Universum zwischen Kontinuität und Brüchigkeit: Bewegte Bilder werden rückwärts abgespielt, gestoppt, laufen nicht mehr synchron.

Spring Snow
May 3 — June 7, 2025

Titled with its own seasonal poetics, Diane Severin Nguyen’s Spring Snow places us in front of another jungle, electrified by radio static, but this time voiceless.
It’s springtime again and the snow has started to fall. Leaves are covered in particles, at once eerie and invasive, softly dystopian; something seems to be haunting this improbable landscape.

Artist Studio / Install - Thomas Bayrle

In his solo exhibition with neugerriemschneider, bewegung im stillstand, Thomas Bayrle presents new prints alongside collages and film from the 1980s and ’90s. His work, inspired by fascinations with items at quantity, networks of infrastructure and material culture, draws upon conventions of mid-century graphic design and advertising. Among the works shown are Pianta Robusta I through VIII — canvases featuring a grayscale print of a computer-generated shopping centre’s escalators, running in parallel between its floors, the motif repeated to form the images’ backgrounds. A potted plant emerges from the cores of these compositions’, a selection of which are carefully accented with pops of colored acrylic paint. Thomas Bayrle lives and works in Frankfurt am Main.

In seiner Einzelausstellung ‚bewegung im stillstand‘ bei neugerriemschneider präsentiert Thomas Bayrle eine neue Serie von Drucken, Collagen sowie einen Film aus den 1980er- und 1990er-Jahren.
Geprägt von einer Faszination für Massenproduktion, Infrastruktur und materielle Kultur, greift Bayrles Werk auf Konventionen des Grafikdesigns und der Werbung aus Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts zurück. Zu den gezeigten Arbeiten zählen Pianta Robusta I bis VIII, deren Motiv auf einem computergenerierten Bild zweier Rolltreppen in einem Einkaufszentrum aufbaut, welches in vielfacher Wiederholung auch den Hintergrund bildet, aus deren Zentrum jeweils eine Topfpflanze erwächst – ergänzt von gezielten Farbakzenten in Acryl. Thomas Bayrle lebt und arbeitet in Frankfurt am Main.

Bewegung im Stillstand
May 3 - June 28, 2025

Thomas Bayrle’s solo exhibition features a new body of prints alongside collages and film from the 1980s and
1990s. Guided by the presentation’s title – “idle movement” – each of the works on view are centered on the interfaces between an accelerated modern life, systems in and of motion, and the nature that, against all odds, persists in their midst.
