Vernissage / Tanya Leighton
Friday 13th March – 6pm until 9pm
Dancing exuberantly across the boundary between sculpture and painting, Wyatt Kahn’s shaped canvases blur the line between painting and sculpture, drawing focus to the perception of the visual and the expanding space of the pictorial. As Kahn introduced color to his work, skinning the shapely canvases in chromatic bursts and overlaying them with thin, unprimed canvas, the canvases have taken on an organic, almost bodily quality that hums with nascent life. At 31 years of age, Kahn’s work has already been featured in W Magazine, at LAX Art and Eva Presenhuber, making this notable talent a star on the rise well worth catching a glimpse of during his brief time in Berlin.

Vernissage / Sommer & Kohl
Friday 13th March – 6pm until 9pm
The edgy assemblages of Eva Berendes evokes the rough, exuberant combines of Robert Rauschenberg through a vocal tangle of painted steel tubing, grilles, prints and found objects. Mapping the cultural landscape of the city through Berendes‘ devotion to its detritus, the raw material of Berendes‘ work speaks volumes, but the masterful reworking of the fabric of urban life into quiet, minimal, architectural installations elevates Berendes‘ oeuvre to the level of mastery.

Vernissage / Hamburger Bahnhof
Friday 13th March – 8pm
On the heels of a stunning opening last weekend, Hamburger Bahnhof is at it again with the opening of a new exhibition featuring the work of Dieter Roth in conversation with the work by George Brecht, Rodney Graham, Annika Kahrs, Ragnar Kjartansson & Alterazioni Video, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, Markus Sixay, Die Tödliche Doris and records from the Archiv Broken Music. This intimate exploration of the role of music in Roth’s life and work draws energy and magnetism from the passion Roth brings to the subject matter and the broad, exuberant scale of this warm, wonderful exhibition.

Vernissage / BERLINARTPROJECTS
Friday 13th March – 6pm until 9pm
At BERLINARTPROJECTS, six young artists explore the interactive power of individual works of art by swapping individual pieces in and out of the space of the gallery throughout the duration of the exhibition. Like the flowers Turkish artist Eda Soylu embeds in concrete, the works presented here draw sustenance from one another until conditions change, the vital forces giving life to the network of visual phenomena are altered, and a new energy takes up residence in the white cube.
BERLINARTPROJECTS // Potsdamer Straße 61, 10785 Berlin
Vernissage / KW Institute for Contemporary Art
Saturday 14th March – 5pm until 10pm
With COUNTING IN EIGHT, MOVING BY COLOR, KW Institute for Contemporary Art brings the work of Channa Horwitz to Berlin for a moving exploration of spatiality, temporality, numerality and visual choreography. The bright, booming richness of Horwitz’s minimal, conceptual work has garnered new attention in recent years, and this large-scale solo show, the first of its kind, brings well-deserved attention to a vibrant and innovative body of work.
