Berlin Art Week is pleased to announce that the festival centre ›BAW Garten‹ will be a guest at Gropius Bau this year. From 11—15 SEP 2024, the BAW Garten will open its doors as the central meeting point of the festival week to invite visitors to an exciting art programme.

The Gropius Bau, one of the most important exhibition houses in Europe, together with the curatorial practice of Jenny Schlenzka, its new director, provide the perfect setting for the BAW Garten. As Schlenzka will transform the exhibition space into a place of encounters and open exchange with her opening programme starting with the festival week in autumn, Berlin Art Week will organise a variety of events—including performances, discussions, workshops, screenings, and DJ sets—with numerous partners from all over the city in the inspiring surroundings of the space.

Throughout Berlin Art Week, the BAW Garten at Gropius Bau will be the central meeting point and offer a platform for encounters, creative exchange, and for exploring the festival. For five days, visitors are invited to experience a diverse, interactive and open-air programme with free admission. Further information about the programme and the events at BAW Garten will be announced in the coming weeks.
