"Nichts ist unmöglich" (Nothing is impossible) - the fading inscription on the central wall of the Adlerhalle refers to its former use as a motor workshop. Today, it is also home to the first graduate exhibition of the weissensee kunsthochschule berlin as part of the StadtWERKSTATT programme. Originally a military barracks in the 19th century, the Dragonerareal is an exemplary illustration of the capital's history: Military industry, forced labour, controversial real estate deals, but also neighbourly commitment to public space and housing are all part of the site's eventful history.
This unwaveringly optimistic advertising slogan could easily come across as cynical to the 39 masters and diploma students in painting and sculpture, who are at the start of their artistic careers in no less turbulent times. However, there is a spark of truth and hope in the optimism adopted by a Japanese car manufacturer: the graduates are united by their decision to pursue art studies in the face of an uncertain future, across different forms of expression, themes and media. In painting, drawing, photography, video, sculpture, textiles and installations, they express their view of our present. And if a barracks can become an art gallery, then perhaps anything is truly possible.

Wie können wir von anderen Formen der Existenz und des Zusammenlebens lernen und parasitäre Formen der Schöpfung erforschen? Normalerweise verstehen wir parasitäre Beziehungen als eine binäre Unterscheidung zwischen zwei getrennten Entitäten: Wirt und Parasit. Wie können wir unsere Vorstellungen erweitern und Kunstwerke schaffen, die von breiteren, nicht binären, ökologischen und kommunalen Kontexten inspiriert sind, in denen Wirt-Parasit-Beziehungen überleben und gedeihen?
Unser Interesse an Parasiten gilt der Art und Weise, wie sie ihre Umgebung verhandeln und wie ihre Anwesenheit Reaktionen hervorruft - wie bestimmte verwickelte Basen produktiv für Veränderungen werden können; wie bestimmte Infiltrationen durch diejenigen, die routinemäßig ausgeschlossen werden, den Status quo stören können. Parasitismus ermöglicht es uns auch, über Aufnahme und Gastfreundschaft, über Symbiose und Gegenseitigkeit, über queere Verstrickungen und Anpassungsfähigkeit, über kollektive Perspektiven und die Betrachtung räumlicher Strategien aus der Sicht der anderen zu sprechen.
Die Studierenden haben das Konzept des Parasitismus und der Gastfreundschaft durch verschiedene Lerneinheiten und die Schaffung räumlicher und ephemerer künstlerischer Interventionen auf dem Gelände der Floating University während des Sommersemesters 2024 erforscht, wobei sie ortsspezifisch und im Dialog mit dem bestehenden Programm gearbeitet haben.

FOOL’S PARADISE
FOOL'S PARADISE
Opening: 13 June 2024, 7 - 10 pm
Duration: 14 June - 30 June 2024
Finissage: 30 June 2024, 4 - 7 pm
Opening hours: Thursday and Friday, 4 - 8 pm; Saturday and Sunday, 3 - 7 pm
Location: KUNSTPUNKT BERLIN - RAUM FÜR AKTUELLE KUNST, Schlegelstraße 6, 10115 Berlin
In Christian iconography, paradise is usually depicted as a sheltered and flourishing garden in which man and nature are harmoniously united. Today, this archetypal idea seems more distant than ever, as our modern way of life is causing irreparable changes to the climate and nature.
The exhibition ‘FOOL'S PARADISE’ addresses our own forlornness faced with this situation and the human longing for a utopia and alternative reality. The young artists locate themselves ‘between doubt, ballast and utopia’ and use painting, drawing and installation to describe paradise as a place where anything seems possible: ‘It overwhelms us, makes us foolish, pushes us to our personal limits’. KUNSTPUNKT BERLIN - RAUM FÜR AKTUELLE KUNST and weißensee kunsthochschule berlin cordially invite you to rediscover paradise through the perspectives of young artists.

Horses are a popular and frequently depicted motif in art.
In recent years, teachers have noticed a conspicuous accumulation of horse paintings in the corridors and studios of the painting building. New depictions of these versatile animals have appeared almost weekly. Many of these works are so well done that the question of why doesn't even arise. The pictures speak for themselves.
The painting teachers have taken this as an opportunity to present the horse paintings created in Weißensee in all their different facets in an appropriate public setting.
The material is already available - so the exhibition does not require long preparation.
The whole thing is curated by a team of four students, supported by lecturers Friederike Feldmann and Alexander Wagner.
The works correspond with each other, similarities and contrasts are highlighted, references are made clear, comparisons between the different working methods and thematic focuses become visible. The spectrum of works ranges from miniatures to wall-filling formats - tongue-in-cheek, humorous, surprising, as homage or unbroken declaration of love.

Professors present themselves and their research topics

‘Intuitive Material and Social Textile Studies’ with Nadine Göpfert
Wednesday, 15.05.24 at 5 pm
How are innovative, sustainable and forward-looking designs, concepts and perspectives on textile materials created? As part of the lecture series, Nadine Göpfert will give an insight into her practice as a textile designer and her teaching concept in the field of experimental design in the Department of Textile and Material Design.
Nadine Göpfert is a multidisciplinary designer. Her work includes creative direction, design and consultancy in the field of textile and material design for interior, product, art and fashion.
Her mostly reduced designs question the conventional materiality, form and nature of existing objects, their functions and common use through minimal, yet radical interventions.
Within her collections and installations, she examines the function and conventional use of materials in order to develop new design perspectives. Her internationally exhibited research projects question the relationship between clothing, the individual and society in order to uncover unconscious patterns of behaviour in the everyday use of textiles.
Nadine Göpfert has taught at the Bauhaus University Weimar (DE), the Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam (NL) and the École d'architecture de la ville & des territoires Paris-Est (FR), among others, in recent years before her appointment at the weissensee school of art and design berlin in 2023. Past exhibitions include Fetishism in Fashion (curated by Li Edelkoort), Trapholt Design Museum (DK), Future Fashions, Dutch Design Week (NL) and Utopian Bodies, Liljevalchs Museum Stockholm (SE).
