For Berlin Art Week 2026, Galerie Thomas Schulte presents the exhibition “Life–Death” by Katharina Sieverding. At the heart of the exhibition is the 1969 film of the same name, complemented by large-format film stills. Created in what was then West Berlin, the work reflects an early period in the artist’s practice and a historical moment of concentrated political, social, and aesthetic upheaval.⁣

For this year’s edition of Berlin Art Week, Galerie Thomas Schulte presents “Die Sein: Para Psychics Expanded (Excerpt),” Kerstin Brätsch’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The Corner Space and adjacent window front are transformed through an expansion from painting, as though from living matter, into a cosmos, or organism, of its own. The site-specific installation gives shape to an immersive environment; a shared yet fluctuating encounter, both rooted in the body and moving beyond material conditions.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
On the occasion of Berlin Art Week, a temporary exhibition will be on view for the first time on the construction site of berlin modern from 10 to 13 September 2026: Neue Nationalgalerie presents five selected works by Gordon Matta-Clark, one of the most influential artists of the 1970s. They will be shown in one of the central exhibition spaces of the new Museum of 20th-Century Art, berlin modern, which is currently being built in Berlin.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
The exhibition features central pieces from the most vital period of his oeuvre in the 1970s, including "Clockshower" (1973), "Splitting" (1974), "Conical Intersect"(1975), "City Slivers" (1976), and "Office Baroque" (1977) — realized in New York, Paris, and Antwerp, among others. Most prominently presented is "Conical Intersect", a site-specific work with the Centre Pompidou still under construction in the background. The work was part of the Paris Biennale in 1975.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Presented in this homage-like exhibition, his work creates a striking encounter with the artist's unique and radical approach that inspires generations of artists until today.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
The exhibition is curated by Klaus Biesenbach, Director of Neue Nationalgalerie, with Ricarda Bergmann.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Howard Brookner’s meticulously restored documentary “Robert Wilson and the CIVIL warS” follows Robert Wilson’s visionary, unfinished opera project “the CIVIL warS: a tree is best measured when it is down,” originally conceived for a complete premiere as part of the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival in Los Angeles.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

The film offers a unique insight into the making of one of the most ambitious and unconventional stage productions of the twentieth century, as well as the international community of artists involved in bringing the project to life.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Before the screening, Christof Belka, Nele Hertling, Christopher Nell, and Ann-Christin Rommen will discuss Robert Wilson and the development of “the CIVIL warS,” moderated by Rüdiger Schaper.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Galerie Thomas Schulte is pleased to announce Angela de la Cruz’s first solo exhibition in eastern Germany, “BARRICADE / DRESDEN,” opening at Kunstverein Dresden on 28 August 2026.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
In the exhibition, Angela de la Cruz presents works that combine painting, sculpture, and installation. Her distorted canvases and everyday objects explore themes of fragility, transformation, and resistance. Her works are inspired by her own life experiences and are thus marked by an incomparable intensity.⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Curated by Bettina M. Busse, “BARRICADE / DRESDEN” forms part of Kunstverein Dresden’s annual theme “The Body” and invites reflection on the relationship between body, space, and social reality.⁣⁣⁣⁣

A nebulous lack of resolution characterizes a group of prints on sublimated polyester, each titled "Desert" (2026) and composited from four parts. The prints are enlargements of drawings Deacon originally produced on his phone – a practice he has taken up with regularity over the last few years, expanding the surface and material potential of his drawings, which have formed an integral part of his work since the early stages of his career. The layering and intersection of translucent digital strokes on a screen simulates texture and depth where there otherwise is none. Here, the drawings undergo a transfer from the sleek digital surface to the tactility of the textile, which possesses a texture and sheen of its own. Like traces in dust, the ghostly images carry a physical presence, while retaining an immaterial essence. Hazy white structures formed of interwoven or spiralling lines give the impression of extreme weather conditions, like a whirlwind, or gently wavering reflections on rippling water. Desert #4 may even suggest a highly zoomed-in depiction of a surface structure: its hatched lines or interwoven threads and the negative spaces that they open up.⁣

From the 1970s onward, McCollum’s practice has focused on processes of cultural reception, developing bodies of work that examine the relationship between serially produced objects and the formation of meaning and value. These works often take the form of "Collections"—of photographs, sculptural objects, or, as in this case, of drawings—comprising anywhere from a few individual elements to thousands of them. Uniform and appearing almost industrial at first glance, the elements are distinguished by form variations that render each of them unique. The "Collections" thus operate at the threshold between singular and multiple, individual and collective, legible and illegible, reflecting the paradox of human existence: the desire to belong to a larger group while also remaining one-of-a-kind.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Preceded by the acclaimed "Surrogate Paintings" (1978) and "Plaster Surrogates" (1982), McCollum began his series of "Drawings" in 1988, the only body of work he has produced using a traditional artistic medium: pencil on paper. Conceived during a pivotal moment in his practice, the "Drawings" developed in dialogue with "Over Ten Thousand Individual Works" (1987) and laid important groundwork for later projects such as "The Shapes Project" (2005) or "Each and Every One of You" (2004).⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣
Galerie Thomas Schulte is pleased to share that David Hartt's new site-specific commission "Peripheries" will soon be on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Conceived for the Museum’s circular gallery housing John Vanderlyn’s "Panoramic View of the Palace and Gardens of Versailles" (1818–19), the installation activates the historic panorama through a contemporary architectural intervention.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
For "Peripheries", Hartt brings past and present into dialogue through two Direct View LED screens that echo imagery from Vanderlyn’s painting while introducing new perspectives drawn from direct documentation of Versailles, the cinematic language of French New Wave cinema, and photographs of the palace grounds by Eugène Atget. Filmed from Versailles to the Boulevard Périphérique and across central Paris, the work reflects on the continual reinvention of the French capital. Accompanied by an original score by composer and musician Jeff Parker, the installation redirects attention from the city’s established centers toward its margins—or “peripheries”—where alternative histories and perspectives so often reside. Through this layered engagement with history, representation, and cultural memory, Hartt reimagines The Met’s gallery space as a living environment for reflection.⁣⁣
