@treptow_ateliers_ev at

Kulturhaus Baumschulenweg
Ernststraße 14/16, 12437 Berlin
22.05. - 31.07.2025

Vernissage: 22.05., 18 Uhr

The exhibition presents the works of 22 artists from the Treptow-Ateliers e.V., which has its roots on Mörikestraße and is now located on the other side of the Spree on Wilhelminenhofstraße.

It invites visitors to immerse themselves in a simultaneous temporal and spatial spectrum in which memories, history, anecdotes, and the chronology of the artists‘ group enter into a multifaceted dialogue with its
new members and current works.

Past and present interweave into a vibrant narrative that captures both the creative spirit of this community and its circumstances, as well as its struggle to preserve its workspace.

Would have been nice…

Due to technical inadequacies, I unfortunately cannot show my work “Shitstorm (in my bubble)” as planned today and tomorrow as part of @48stundennk at @kindlberlin

I am heartbroken, but wish all exhibiting artists and colleagues huge fun and success. May the shit hits the fan. 💩🤪

Blind Vision Group Show

Opening 11.11. / 17 - 22h
@treptow_ateliers_ev
@blind_vision_berlin

Opening hours
Sat 12.11. / 15 - 19h
Sun 13.11. / 15 - 19h

Initiated and realized by Matthias Mayer und Maik Schierloh in cooperation with Treptow-Ateliers e.V.

Anyone who has moved to Berlin in recent decades has played a part in the development of this city. For some, it conveyed an atmosphere of departure (or even „dependency“) in an alternative and avant-garde sense; for others, it was merely a projection surface for profane economic interests pushed by global market events. There was never a vision for all. Politicians were merely trying to pick the pearls out of many alternative ideas. For example, the nightlife and the precarious life of artists were included in the marketing of Berlin. This blind vision is now reflected in a place of action. An unrenovated former industrially used hall and other rooms formerly used as offices, which were made available to the artists‘ community „Treptow-Ateliers“ together with their cheaply rented temporary studios as a temporary playground by an investor. The community itself opened the space for third-party projects. The rawness of the historic site, the desire and spontaneity of the alternative users inevitably lead back to the aura of Berlin in the 1980s and 1990s. And of course Berlin still works like that. But the atmosphere is deceptive, the awakening already sits in the neck, like a drug that slowly loses its effect. Because it all ends, and without romanticism. The artists soon have to go back to their nomadic way. Only that they are not nomadic, but originally displaced from their cherished place of work. Their journey is already unique, because they stick together in solidarity in their seemingly hopeless situation. What could become, what could be? Why is it a blind vision?

It was a very special visit to the Keith Haring Foundation again. Being in Keith Haring's former studio where he had worked from 1985 until his death in 1990, seeing the paint on floor and walls was impressive and touching.

Keith Haring kept much of what he had come into contact with, brushes, his old trainers and much more is still on the shelves here.

Thank you for allowing us to see and experience all this @keithharingfoundation
