Today, Friday, October 3, the gallery is open from 11:00 to 18:00 despite the national holiday. Tomorrow, Saturday, October 4, from 15:00 to 18:00, is the finissage of the solo exhibition "Crash me, but gently" by Vasil Berela. Join us to celebrate on the last day if you are in Berlin!
Berela’s work remains profoundly biographical. Born in Gori, Georgia, in a landscape of post-Soviet disintegration, he was shaped by political anarchy, shattered infrastructures and the latent violence of civil war. After the war in his hometown in 2008, he fled to Germany; since 2011 he has lived and worked in Berlin. His works can be understood as an aesthetic form of escapism, as spaces in which the subject seeks refuge, yet at the same time recognises that no withdrawal can ever be absolute. The deeper the soul slips into forgetting, the more exposed the body remains to the harshness of the outside. In this dialectic of retreat and permeability, trauma and transcendence, Berela’s art inscribes itself as a radical inquiry into what it means to be human.
