Portfolio Berlin 01

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the East German regime's boundaries, Berlin experienced an unprecedented upsurge as a center for contemporary art. Meanwhile, there is no other European city where more artists are living and working than in Berlin. It is thus no surprise that works are created here that cut across classical categories and place special emphasis on dialogue and intercontextual qualities. The exhibition at the Kunsthalle Rostock will show Berlin artists who have received an increased public exposure during the past decade and whose work addresses the interface between painting and other media.
