Edition Block, Prager Str. 5, Berlin (2026)

22/04/2026

Join us for the opening of “60 Years. 60 Works. Edition Block 1966–2026” this Sunday, April 26, 11.30 am – 2 pm.

Throughout the years, René Block repeatedly published collective edition projects, most often in the form of print portfolios.
“En Bloc”, conceived for Galerie René Block’s fifth anniversary and first presented in 1969, is a special case: not a portfolio, but a tambour-door cabinet containing works by 19 artists who shaped the gallery’s program in its first years.
With its 19 very different contributions, “En Bloc” is an early example of Block’s ongoing interest in collective edition projects.

On view in “60 Years. 60 Works. Edition Block 1966–2026” 29 April – 30 August 2026 Edition Block, Prager Straße 5, Berlin

Join us for the opening of two exhibitions:
 60 Years. 60 Works. Edition Block 1966–2026 April 29 – August 30, 2026 Edition Block, Prager Straße 5, Berlin

Eva-Maria Schön. 60 Years. 60 Meters, Brushstrokes April 27 – June 6, 2026 KIF – Kunst im Fenster, Schaperstraße 11, Berlin

Opening: Sunday, April 26, 11.30 am – 2 pm

Sixty years are hard to put into words. Sixty works are easier.
With „60 Years. 60 Works“, Edition Block marks its 60th anniversary with works from six decades in which editions appear not as mere reproductions, but as autonomous artistic creations. Over the decades, a wide range of formal and material expressions has emerged: prints, objects, artist’s books, records, and everything in between.

At KIF – Kunst im Fenster, Eva-Maria Schön’s „60 Years. 60 Meters, Brushstrokes“ picks up the idea of seriality in space. Its 60 meters also subtly echo the 60 years of Edition Block, unfolding through movement, reversal, and ever-changing constellations.

Images: René Block in front of his gallery with Joseph Beuys’s “Schlitten”, 1969; KP Brehmer, “Das Gefühl zwischen Fingerkuppen…”, 1967; Dieter Roth, “Familienbad”, 1972; Šejla Kamerić, “Bosnian Girl”, 2007; Eva-Maria Schön installing “Pinselstriche hintereinander” at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, 1981.

Upcoming exhibition:

IN MEMORIAM
BEUYS
PAIK
MACIUNAS

29.1. – 19.4.26

KIF - KUNST IM FENSTER
Schaperstr. 11
10719 Berlin

Joseph Beuys died 40 years ago, on January 23, 1986.
Nam June Paik died 20 years ago, on January 29, 2006.
We are taking these anniversaries as an opportunity to commemorate the concert ‚In Memoriam George Maciunas‘ in July 1978 that both artists dedicated to their friend George Maciunas (1931–1978).
The concert for two pianos was performed in the auditorium of the State Art Academy in Düsseldorf in memory of the artist and founder of the Fluxus movement.
“We set up two pianos,” Beuys describes the piano duet, ”he [Paik] does his thing, I do my thing, we haven’t agreed on what we do. In terms of sound. We meet at this particular point, neither of us knows what the other is doing; the only thing we know and have agreed on is the time.” (Joseph Beuys) After exactly 74 minutes, the concert ended with an alarm clock ringing. George Maciunas died at the age of 47.
Edition Block published, among other things, a recording of the piano duet as a double LP (EB48b) and an enlarged invitation card to the concert as a silkscreen print on canvas (EB48a).

EXTENDED

Pravdoliub Ivanov Vehicles Dream and other Dreams
until April 12

Edition Block
Prager Str. 5
10779 Berlin

The exhibition brings together works by Pravdoliub Ivanov (born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, in 1964) from the past three decades. His installation Vehicles Dream, created in New York in 1998, takes the centre stage. The city that ‘never sleeps’ was the setting for Ivanov’s photographs of people sleeping in subway cars, exhausted by the rhythm of the city that they themselves help to maintain. By mounting the images on small wheels scattered throughout the space, he allowed visitors to rearrange them. Moving around in this way, the portraits appear as a symbol of collective exhaustion. The social metaphor of these alienated and isolated figures, created more than 25 years ago, has gained unexpected political relevance today, visible in their silent paralysis and metaphysical helplessness.
In addition to the work Vehicles Dream, the artist’s objects and drawings explore the interplay between everyday life, perception and imagination. With subtle, often humorous interventions, seemingly familiar things are called into question.
Pravdoliub Ivanov lives and works in Sofia. He studied at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia and, together with Ivan Moudov and Stefan Nikolaev, represented Bulgaria at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007. Previously, he participated in the 4th Istanbul Biennale (1995), Manifesta 3 in Ljubljana (2003) and the 4th Berlin Biennale (2006). His works have also been shown in important overview exhibitions such as In den Schluchten des Balkan (2003) at the Fridericianum in Kassel and Blut & Honig – Zukunft ist am Balkan (2003) at the Essl Collection in Klosterneuburg. His works can be found in the collections of the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Neues Museum in Nuremberg, among others.

The images of the sleeping figures are arranged in varying configurations in different sets of five wheels each. The edition is being shown for the first time at KIF – Kunst im Fenster.

With her site-specific installation “Sol”, Sunah Choi (.sunah)transforms the 𝐊𝐈𝐅 window display into a space of glass and light. Eight seamlessly arranged glass panels fit precisely into the surface behind the window, filling its floor plan. They are both a “floor” (French: sol) and a large-format image.

In her work, Sunah Choi explores space, its perception, and its cultural encoding. She draws on the vocabulary of architecture as well as that of painting and sculpture. She is particularly interested in elements that structure or permeate space, such as windows, frames, or grids. In this way, “Sol” builds on the Edition “Karo”, conceived for Edition Block in 2020.

In parallel, Sunah Choi is showing new works at GROTTO (.berlin) in Hansaviertel under the title “Maquette”.
___________________

Mit ihrer ortsspezifischen Installation „Sol“ transformiert Sunah Choi das Schaufenster von KIF in einen Raum aus Glas und Licht. Acht nahtlos aneinandergelegte Glasplatten fügen sich passgenau in die Fläche hinter dem Fenster und füllen deren Grundriss aus. Sie sind zugleich „Boden” (franz. sol) als auch großformatiges Bild.
Sunah Choi beschäftigt sich in ihrer Arbeit mit Raum, seiner Wahrnehmung und seiner kulturellen Kodierung. Sie greift ebenso das Vokabular der Architektur wie das der Malerei und Skulptur auf. Von besonderem Interesse sind dabei jene Elemente, die den Raum gliedern oder durchdringen wie etwa Fenster, Rahmen oder Gitter.
So knüpft Sol an die im Jahr 2020 für die Edition Block konzipierte Edition Karo an.
Parallel zeigt Sunah Choi bei GROTTO (.berlin)im Hansaviertel neue Arbeiten unter dem Titel „Maquette“.

In der Rundfunksendung „Herr Sanders öffnet seinen Schallplattenschrank“ präsentierte Dirigent Franz Marszalek in den 1950er-Jahren wöchentlich „seltene, vergessene, vielleicht heute einmalige Kostbarkeiten“. Einer der Hörer war der junge René Block, der das Format mit großer Begeisterung verfolgte.

Wie einst Marszalek öffnet nun Block – der selbst gerne Dirigent geworden wäre – sein eigenes Archiv. Er gibt Einblicke in über 60 Jahre Tätigkeit als Galerist und Kurator.

Die Ausstellung zeigt ausgewählte Materialien, Publikationen und Ephemera – darunter Ausstellungsplakate und Einladungskarten – aus Blocks vielfältigem Wirken: Galerie, DAAD, IfA, Fridericianum, internationale Projekte. Viele der gezeigten Kataloge waren nie im Buchhandel erhältlich.

Ein besonderer Teil der Ausstellung ist eine Reihe persönlicher Künstlerporträts, die René Block im Lauf der Jahre aufgenommen hat – Ausdruck enger Zusammenarbeit und langjähriger Freundschaften.
