BERLIN ART WEEK GARTEN

Our Berlin Art Week festival centre is a guest at Hamburger Bahnhof— National Gallery of Contemporary Art this year. Over five days, the Berlin Art Week Garten invites visitors to explore, participate, linger, and connect. The open-air programme includes workshops, performances, talks, film screenings, and culinary surprises. Free of charge and open to all! The Berlin Art Week Garten also serves as an information hub: from suggested routes across the city to a full overview of the festival schedule, which features more than 100 partners, as well as details on individual events. It’s a place to plan your visit, take a break, have a conversation or simply wind down the day in a relaxed setting.

COOPERATIONS

CAUTION ART! CAUTION DEMOCRACY!

The freedom of art and science should never be taken for granted. They flourish only in open societies, under the rule of law and with strong institutions. ›Caution Democracy!‹, a campaign by Werkstatt Der Bevölkerung and Berlin Art Week, puts this conviction at its heart. In the Berlin Art Week PostGarten, visitors can discover artist-designed posters and explore the project further through conversations with those involved and a panel discussion.

FOOD

Known for his edible landscapes, Caique Tizzi invites visitors to the Berlin Art Week Garten on an artistic and gastronomic journey through an edible atlas: each day presents a different section of the Earth’s latitudes and traces the plants, fruits, seeds, and vegetables that travel through climate zones, trade winds, and stories.

B’INI, SUNSET SALUTE

Saturday Sundowner!—Don’t miss Saturday evening’s live performance, sound and light sculpture ›B’ini, Sunset Salute‹ by Hani Hape at Hamburger Bahnhof—National Gallery of Contemporary Art. A rotating carousel, staged as an endless sunset, inspired by Venice’s legendary Harry’s Bar, brings the combination of jet-set glamour, obsession, and decay of the lagoon city to the Spree. A traveling art pop-up that premieres in Berlin and moves on to Venice—ci vediamo.
