The spring of 2020 is one we won‘t forget and the year continues to be a challenge. To remember this time, our artists have created a special print edition that will be on view in the exhibition Spring of 2020 at the gallery and also available here.

On March 15 we decided to jump online and developed a 10 week program. Each week, co-curated by one artist, we experimented with different digital tools to create a dialogue and connect through art about the topics at hand: the work force and care work – Anna Witt. Happiness and what it means to us – Šejla Kamerić. Taking over our worries – Annabel Daou. Sending you flowers – Lina Scheynius. The effect of a new hygiene movement – Kapwani Kiwanga. Female identities – Nilbar Güreş. Parenting and relating during the pandemic – Grit Richter. Sharing grief and sorrow – Laurel Nakadate. Systemic racism in Germany and how we will treat our public spaces – Ulf Aminde. Raising sensibility for our nature – Angelika J. Trojnarski.

All the subjects the artists touched upon during the online program are more relevant than ever. Most of the works included were existing works focused on subjects that the artists have been thoroughly examining throughout their practice for many years and will continue to do so.

Each of the artists’ edition refers to content from our 10-week online program or originates from an image that evolved during the lockdown period. Together with d'mage, a printing specialist in Berlin, we created these beautiful editions as a very special fine art archival pigment print on Hahnemühle paper. The editions have all the same size either 40 x 30 cm or 30 x 40 cm, available as single prints or as a box set including all nine prints. They all come with a signed certificate.

10% of the proceeds from Spring of 2020 will be donated to a women‘s shelter in Berlin, an organisation in high demand due to the rise of domestic abuse since the pandemic started.
