YOU ARE INVITED TONIGHT!

Tonight we open three new exhibitions at ST. AGNES for Berlin Art Week — and everyone is invited.

In the Nave, Christian Achenbach presents ECHOTROPIA, centred around GENESIS, a monumental painting created specifically for the extraordinary architecture of ST. AGNES.

In the Chapel, Monira Al Qadiri presents THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF BEASTS, bringing together sculpture, video and virtual reality in an exploration of ancient Egypt, mythology, animals, humans and our relationship with nature.

And in the Vault, Rebecca Brodskis opens THE LAST ONES AWAKE, a very personal group of portraits of the friends who became her chosen family during her years in Berlin — and, in a way, a portrait of a Berlin that no longer exists. At 7 PM, there will also be a performance by AURORA.

Three artists, three completely different exhibitions, and three very different spaces within ST. AGNES.

Come and see them tonight — have a drink with us, meet the artists and start Berlin Art Week together.

TONIGHT — TUESDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER
6–9 PM
ST. AGNES
Alexandrinenstr. 118–121, Berlin

Everyone is welcome. No admission.

Behind the scenes of the installation process for Christian Achenbach’s (), Rebecca Brodskis’ () and Monira Al Qadiri’s () exhibitions ECHOTROPIA, THE LAST ONES AWAKE, and THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF BEASTS, opening this Tuesday, 8 September at 6 PM at KÖNIG GALERIE () as part of Berlin Art Week.

Achenbach’s monumental paintings unfold as vibrant landscapes of bright yellows, saturated oranges, burning reds, deep blues, and rich greens, creating spaces where color, light, and movement reverberate like a musical score. Brodskis presents intimate portraits of close friends who became her chosen family during her years in Berlin, reflecting on friendship, belonging, and shared vulnerability. Al Qadiri brings together sculptures, video installations, and virtual reality, weaving ancient Egyptian mythology with contemporary technologies to explore the complex relationships between humans, animals, and nature.

We hope to see you at the opening!

In dieser Folge von WAS MIT KUNST spreche ich mit Larissa Kikol über Graffiti, Vandalismus und abstrakte Malerei und darüber, wo die Grenzen zwischen Street Art und zeitgenössischer Kunst verlaufen.

Kikol beschäftigt sich seit Jahren wissenschaftlich und praktisch mit der Graffiti-Szene. Für ihre Recherchen begleitete sie Sprayer-Crews wie die Berliner Diamonds und Moses & Taps aus Hamburg und verarbeitete ihre Erfahrungen auch in einem autofiktionalen Roman.

Wir sprechen über ihren Begriff „Post-Vandalismus“, mit dem sie Künstler*innen wie die Diamonds Crew oder Moses & Taps beschreibt, deren Arbeiten längst in Richtung Konzeptkunst und abstrakte Malerei gehen. Außerdem geht es um die Ausstellung „Post-Vandalismus“, Fragen kultureller Aneignung und Künstler wie Christopher Wool und Anselm Reyle, die sich an der Ästhetik der Straße bedient haben.

Auch die Ökonomie der Szene kommt zur Sprache, vom Sponsoring durch Spraydosenhersteller bis zum Sammlermarkt für Leinwandarbeiten und Skulpturen sowie die Frage, warum in diesem Feld bis heute vor allem Männer den Ton angeben.

Growing up in Cologne, I have long been fascinated by the city’s religious architecture and its potential for new uses. The former Klarissenkloster is a compelling example, now hosting cultural, social, and community activities while maintaining its connection to the past.

With their generous spaces, tranquillity, and strong sense of place, monasteries offer qualities increasingly rare in contemporary cities. These photographs by Felix Hemmers document examples of church reuse across Germany, highlighting the potential of adaptive reuse to give historic buildings a sustainable future.

On the occasion of Berlin Art Week 2026, Soho House Berlin presents a playful and unexpected installation by Austrian contemporary artist Erwin Wurm, transforming the hotel’s lobby into a surreal world where the boundaries between the human body and everyday objects begin to blur. Inspired by the concept of DREAMERS, the installation invites visitors to pause, look again, and enter Wurm’s imagined realm of dreams.

Presented in collaboration with Porsche, the project celebrates creative change makers who have the courage to dream. The partnership draws on the legacy of Ferry Porsche, whose vision and passion transformed the automotive world, creating a fitting dialogue with Wurm’s own playful approach to transforming familiar forms.

The installation will be unveiled during Berlin Art Week, with an artist reception on 9 September offering guests the opportunity to encounter Wurm’s work. The installation and reception bring art, design, and creative exchange into the social setting of Soho House Berlin.

Opening soon at KÖNIG GALERIE is THE LAST ONES AWAKE by French artist Rebecca Brodskis, presented in the Vault of St. Agnes. The exhibition brings together portraits of close friends who became Brodskis’ chosen family during her years in Berlin.

Through oil-on-linen paintings of figures suspended in moments of introspection, Brodskis reflects on relationships shaped by vulnerability, ambition, and care, evoking a particular Berlin that no longer exists and a time when friendship became a form of belonging.

We hope to see you at the opening reception, with a performance at 7 PM by Aurora, a dancer and movement performer from Greece. Produced by Plastic Productions.

This painting, IF ONLY THE PASTOR KNEW by Kiriakos Tompolidis from 2022, is part of our collection.

It also fits into a particular thread within our collection: works that engage with the church, religion and clerical imagery, while at the same time asking questions about identity. In Kiriakos’ work, these different interests come together particularly beautifully.

What I have always liked about his paintings is how personal memory, cultural history and art history seem to exist in the same space.

Here, a priest stands in an almost theatrical interior: two empty chairs, a table, a Bible and a wall covered in an insistent red pattern. The scene feels very specific and personal, but at the same time strangely open. You immediately sense that there is a story behind it, without ever being told exactly what that story is.

That tension between autobiography and fiction is something I find particularly interesting in Kiriakos’ work.

Born in Essen in 1997 to a family with Greek roots and now living and working in Mexico City, Kiriakos brings different places, traditions, memories and visual languages together in his paintings.

His new exhibition, THE QUIET HOUR, at Museum Folkwang takes this further. Seven new paintings made specifically for the exhibition transform the gallery into something resembling a lived-in room, where family memories, art-historical references and objects from different cultural contexts begin to overlap.

It seems particularly fitting that this exhibition is happening in Essen, the city where Kiriakos was born and where his grandparents arrived from Greece in the 1960s.

Congratulations to Kiriakos Tompolidis on his solo exhibition at Museum Folkwang in Essen! Wonderful to see where the work is going and very happy to have one of these earlier paintings as part of our collection.

In dieser Folge von WAS MIT KUNST spreche ich mit Katharina Martinelli von Roeck Restaurierung über einen Beruf, der selten im Rampenlicht steht und ohne den das Kunst- und Ausstellungssystem nicht funktionieren würde.

Martinelli erzählt, wie sie über eine Cousine und eine Ausstellung über alte Meister in Wien zur Restaurierung kam und was sie am Blick hinter die Kulissen faszinierte. Wir sprechen über die verschiedenen Spezialisierungen, das Studium und die Rolle des Verbands der Restauratoren in einem weitgehend ungeregelten Berufsfeld.

Im Mittelpunkt steht die ethische Dimension ihrer Arbeit: Wann ist ein Schaden Teil eines Werks? Wann ist Verfall Absicht? Anhand von Dieter Roths vergänglichen Lebensmittelarbeiten und Gordon Matta-Clarks Hausecken sprechen wir darüber, warum Restaurierung weit mehr als Reparatur ist. Außerdem geht es um monochrome Werke, Zustandsprotokolle und Versicherungsgutachten, kuriose Schadensfälle, den möglichen Einfluss von KI und die Frage, warum manche Kunstwerke einfach nicht für die Ewigkeit gemacht sind.
