Α und Ω – Vom Ursprung zum Neubeginn

Α und Ω – Vom Ursprung zum Neubeginn

Wed, Oct 21, 9:00 AM
From art & music

**Contemporary Mongolian Art – Monumental Abstract Calligraphy and Ceramic Sculptures** With **“Α and Ω” (Alpha and Omega)**, galerie son presents an exhibition of new works by ODMAA Uranchimeg, SUKHBUREN Narankhuu, and NYAM-OCHIR Oyunpurev, on view from 21 October to 21 November 2026. Located at Schinkelplatz 4 – opposite the Humboldt Forum and just steps from Museum Island – the gallery invites visitors to discover a Mongolia whose contemporary art deserves just as much attention as its rich history. Coinciding with the exhibition “Genghis Khan and the World of the Mongols” at the James-Simon-Galerie, galerie son offers a contemporary perspective with “Α and Ω”, highlighting artistic expressions from Mongolia today. For collectors, curators, and the media, the exhibition provides an opportunity to explore three distinct artistic positions through their latest works. At its heart lies a universal question: **When does an ending become a beginning?** Presented in cooperation with the *Arts & Media Project Management & Consulting NGO (AMPMC)* from Ulaanbaatar, the exhibition opens on 21 October to coincide with the state visit of Mongolian President Uchnaagiin KHURELSUKH to Germany. The new works were created as part of AMPMC’s 2026 Artist-in-Residence Programme at the *Berliner Bildhauerwerkstatt des bbk*.

See & Discuss #01: Cattelan - Neue Nationalgalerie

See & Discuss #01: Cattelan - Neue Nationalgalerie

Sun, Nov 1, 5:00 PM
From Art After Hours

For our first meetup, we’re diving into the world of Maurizio Cattelan at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie. Known for his provocative, often ironic works, Cattelan has a way of making us laugh, feel uncomfortable, question what we’re seeing — and sometimes wonder whether it’s art at all. Have you visited the exhibition? Let’s get together to share our impressions, exchange perspectives, and discuss what we think lies behind the work. We’ll kick things off with a few conversation prompts before settling into a relaxed, open discussion. Afterwards, we’ll continue over drinks and get to know each other. No art expertise required, no right or wrong answers — just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to share your thoughts. **Important**: Please visit the exhibition independently before the meetup. You don’t need to prepare anything — just come with your impressions! https://www.smb.museum/en/exhibitions/detail/maurizio-cattelan-night/ Let’s see what happens when we look at the same art through different eyes. ✨

From Museum Sunday

The future feels more present every day—and not always in a good way. This October, we'll visit the Futurium, a free, highly interactive museum exploring the way humans, nature, and technology will shape the future. Maybe it will make us all feel better? At the very least, we'll see a robot. No pre-order needed, we'll get tickets at the venue.

Fermenta Collective: kombucha in the jar

Fermenta Collective: kombucha in the jar

Thu, Oct 29, 5:00 PM
From Berlin Fermenta Collective Meetup Group

Our workshops are immersive, hands-on and a little bit artsy. We don’t just explain fermentation, we explore it through taste, smell, texture, macro photography and close observation. We share what we’ve learned from our own batches, give practical advice, and encourage you to trust your senses and experiment. And of course, you can’t go home empty-handed: you’ll leave with your own 4L jar of kombucha to ferment at home. The SCOBY, starter liquid, and practical tips for keeping it happy are included. As well as vegan snacks and kombucha to drink, of course! You don’t need to bring any equipment, just a roomy bag or backpack for your big jar. Come thirsty for knowledge and ready to ferment!

Brunch at Frühstück 3000, Lecture & Lovis Corinth Exhibition

Brunch at Frühstück 3000, Lecture & Lovis Corinth Exhibition

Sat, Oct 24, 9:30 AM
From Berlin Ladies Art Club
4.8

A stroke that changed his painting forever. 295 works seized by the Nazis as “degenerate art”. A seascape sold for $4.2 million in 2023. And a painting school in Berlin — for women. Join us for a Saturday morning of art, conversation, and good food — followed by a visit to Berlinische Galerie’s major autumn show, “Lovis Corinth: Then Came Berlin!”. 🖼️ About Lovis Corinth Lovis Corinth (1858–1925) moved to Berlin from Munich in 1901 and quickly became one of the most influential figures in the city’s art world. “It didn’t take off until Berlin,” he reputedly said. In 1902 he opened his own art school — where he primarily taught women. In 1911 he suffered a severe stroke. He kept painting — and his work changed: bolder colours, restless brushwork, a move from Impressionism towards Expressionism. Years after his death, the Nazis condemned his art as “degenerate” and confiscated 295 works from public collections. His expressive brushwork went on to shape artists from Berlin’s Junge Wilde to Georg Baselitz and Lucian Freud. 🎨 The Art Talk Over brunch, I’ll walk you through how Corinth bridged two movements: from his early Impressionist portraits and landscapes, close to Max Liebermann, to the expressive colour and dynamic brushwork of his work after 1911 — and how that shift let him show emotional and psychological depth more openly. We’ll also look at his market today: from record prices at auction to works that still don’t find a buyer. 🖼️ What we’ll see at Berlinische Galerie “Lovis Corinth: Then Came Berlin!” is the museum’s major autumn show. It tells the story of Corinth’s rise to fame in Berlin and his huge impact on the city’s art scene — and of the people around him at home. Alongside his famous canvases, the exhibition brings lesser-known sides of Corinth into the spotlight: the painting school where he mostly taught women, and the work he did for Berlin’s theatres. Berlinische Galerie holds a number of outstanding Corinth paintings in its own collection, and the show continues the museum’s series of exhibitions on modernism in Berlin — after Edvard Munch, Ferdinand Hodler, Lotte Laserstein, Jeanne Mammen and Max Beckmann. After the talk, we’ll walk through the exhibition together. We’ll start with brunch at a cosy spot, with time to introduce ourselves and get to know one another. Whether you already love art or are simply curious, you’re warmly welcome. Come on your own or with a friend — there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, share impressions, and connect. 📋 **Agenda** 🥐 Brunch, introductions & conversation 🎨 A short art-history talk introducing Lovis Corinth 🖼 Exhibition visit together 📅 **Date & Time:** Saturday, 24 October · 11:30 📍 **Brunch location:** Frühstück 3000 💶 **Participation fee:** €15 — includes the prepared art talk, hosting, and accompanied exhibition visit. 🥐 **Brunch and drinks:** Ordered and paid separately 🎟 **Museum admission:** Paid separately. 📌 **RSVP required — limited spots.** **Event Info & FAQ** 💶 **How do I confirm my place?** Please RSVP here on Meetup. I’ll send you the payment details in a private message. Your place is confirmed once payment is received. 🥐 **Can I join only for brunch or only for the exhibition?** The gathering is designed as one shared experience, from our first conversations over brunch to exploring the exhibition together. 👋 **Can I come alone?** Absolutely! Many women join on their own. We’ll begin with introductions so you can get to know the group. ⏰ **Respect & punctuality** Please arrive on time so we can start together. If your plans change, let me know and update your RSVP so someone else can join. ✨ Hosted and curated by Julia, founder of Berlin Ladies Art & Culture Club — a community of over 2,000 women brought together by art, culture, and meaningful connection. Drawing on her art studies at institutions including the École du Louvre and Sotheby’s Institute of Art, she creates gatherings that combine art history, exploration, and time together.
