Idee + Raum, Schloss Biesdorf, D – Berlin
Mar 16 – Jun 14, 2026
Opening: Mar 15, 2026
The group exhibition IDEE + RAUM brings together artists from different generations whose works can be classified as concrete art or have a concrete appearance. All works are based on a clear idea that precedes their visualisation and materialises in space. The sculptures, objects, installations, drawings and wall works open up current perspectives on space, structure, science, architecture and design. Contemporary Berlin positions are shown alongside works from the Beeskow Art Archive, the ‘Collection and Documentation Centre for Art of the GDR’, supplemented by further works from the late 20th century.
The exhibition is supported by the Exhibition Fund for Municipal Galleries and the Exhibition Remuneration Fund of the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.
Artists: Anni Albers, Kirstin Arndt, Horst Bartnig, Max Bill, Antje Blumenstein, Katrin Bremermann, Klaus Dennhardt, Cécile Dupaquier, Anne Gathmann, Kiki Gebauer, Hermann Glöckner, Monika Goetz, Pablo Griss, Carla Guagliardi, Erwin Heerich, Zora Janković, Peter K.

Archistories – Staatliche Kunsthalle, D – Karlsruhe
Nov 29, 2025 – Apr 12, 2026
The special exhibition Archistories: Architecture in Art brings together around 100 works by 70 artists from five centuries that reflect on buildings and construction in different ways. Sometimes playful, sometimes humorous, sometimes socially critical, the works on display deal with the realities of life, past times, or fantastical spaces. They all show how we shape our world or could shape it in the future. In doing so, the exhibition explores aesthetic, political, social, and ecological questions.
Paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures from the Kunsthalle’s collection are complemented by video works, photographs, and installations by contemporary artists. Archistories thus provides a comprehensive insight into the history of architecture from the 17th century to the present day and makes it clear that architecture always tells stories and recounts history.
An extensive catalog accompanying the exhibition is now available for €48 in the Kunsthalle’s online shop.
