🔜 in Berlin

What makes an image art? How are new technologies changing our understanding of artistic authorship? And what remains constant across the decades?

💭 I'll be discussing these questions with Max Mayer on November 18 at 7 pm at the Kienzle Art Foundation.

»Was Sein Kann« brings together two private collections representing different generations and areas of focus. While painting and conceptual art are central to the Kienzle Art Foundation's collection, digital art from the 1980s to the present occupies a particularly important place in the @wrngfrmt collection. The exhibition examines the art-historical and formal connections between these seemingly distinct visual worlds.

Artists: Klaus Merkel, @CurioFringe, @daniloxhema, @cydr, @lm_netwebs, @andreasgysin, Waffles, @no_hygiene, @toadswiback, Lee Mullican
