Press releases
With more than 120,000 visitors, and more than 25,000 at the art fair Positions Berlin, Berlin Art Week closes on a happy note this evening. Visitors and the media were impressed by how closely the festival week was in sync with the city and its diversity. This year’s festival centre at Uferhallen provided inspiration that will endure and underscored the crucial necessity to highlight an awareness of important, attractive venues for cultural production in the city. The admission-free Sunday, with many institutions participating, was also a great success. »It’s Berlin Art Week, and everyone is back out for art«, as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung summed up the great success of this year’s Berlin Art Week
A week full of contemporary art—Berlin Art Week and its partners host a diverse festival programme from 14—18 SEP 2022
Berlin, 12 SEP 2022. Preparations are going full steam: next Wednesday, Kulturprojekte Berlin will present the eleventh edition of Berlin Art Week. Together with key players in Berlin’s art world, a diverse festival programme of contemporary art has been assembled. More than 50 partners will be holding exhibition openings, prize award ceremonies, and special events over five days.
The Project Space Award and the Berlin Art Prize honour the importance of project spaces/Collectors welcome visitors to open houses, with performances and more
What would art be without the personal commitment of individuals and groups beyond a purely professional interest? Especially in Berlin! Project spaces and the showrooms of private collectors set their own important accents in the Berlin art landscape. The people behind them are motivated by an untiring curiosity and passion; their individual interests and preferences lend each their own distinctive profile.
This promises to be a rousing start for the fall season: numerous galleries across town, at Wilhelm Hallen, and the art fair Positions Berlin at the former airport Tempelhof are all part of Berlin Art Week.
In Berlin’s celebration of art, the galleries are of course essential: internationally active and located all around the city, they are a fixed part of Berlin Art Week. During the festival week, over 50 galleries will be enticing visitors with extended opening hours. Positions Art Fair is also key: in 2022, it is inviting guests for the ninth time as part of Berlin Art Week to the former airport Tempelhof. 88 galleries from twenty countries will be presenting their programmes, featuring well-known Berlin galleries.
Berlin Art Week’s festival centre this year will be in Wedding
»Uferhallen represents a Berlin that is primarily a site where contemporary art is produced. We are thus very happy to have the opportunity to make this irreplaceable, pulsating site of cultural exchange the festival centre for this year’s Berlin Art Week«, in the words of Moritz van Dülmen, managing director of Kulturprojekte Berlin, responsible for organizing Berlin Art Week.
