Gallery Weekend Berlin – The Art PodcastEpisode 11 – Kapwani Kiwanga
In the new episode, Enuma Okoro speaks with the artist Kapwani Kiwanga. Kiwanga’s multidisciplinary practice brings together sculpture, installation, film, and performance with anthropological research and a precise examination of historical structures of power, knowledge, and trade. Her works investigate materials as carriers of histories, economic relations, and social narratives, while at the same time opening up poetic spaces of perception and reflection.
Alongside a wide range of international exhibitions, including representing Canada at the 2024 Biennale Kiwanga has increasingly based her production in Berlin, a city that has become central to her working life and exhibition pr...

Gallery Weekend Berlin – The Art PodcastEpisode 10 - Miriam Cahn
In der neuen Episode spricht Silke Hohmann mit der international gefeierten Künstlerin Miriam Cahn (geb. 1949 in Basel, lebt und arbeitet in Graubünden/Schweiz). Miriam Cahns Werk setzt sich mit Gewalt, Krieg und der Verletzlichkeit des Menschen auseinander. Ihre oft figurativen Darstellungen thematisieren Flucht, Trauma und die fragile Beziehung zwischen Mensch, Natur und Machtstrukturen. Dabei sind ihre Arbeiten geprägt von einem tiefen Humanismus.
In der Ausstellung „Traumbefehl“, die bis zum 17. Januar 2026 in der Galerie Meyer Riegger in Berlin zu sehen ist, verbindet sich ihr charakteristischer Stil mit abstrakteren, textbasierten Arbeiten zu einer umfassenden Rauminstallation. 174 Werke, streng...

Gallery Weekend Berlin – The Art PodcastEpisode 8 – Katharina Grosse
In this episode, writer and curator Enuma Okoro speaks with internationally acclaimed artist Katharina Grosse (b. 1961 in Freiburg, Germany), known for her bold, haptic paintings that dissolve the boundaries between canvas, architecture, and landscape. With her disruptive use of colour, Grosse transforms entire environments into immersive experiences, shifting how we perceive space and inviting us to move through it in new ways.
Their conversation explores how Grosse conceives of painting as an expansive, open field rather than a defined object, and how her work challenges conventional notions of orientation, control, and interpretation. Together they reflect on the...

Gallery Weekend Berlin – The Art PodcastEpisode 7 – Mischa Leinkauf
Neue Folge: Gallery Weekend Berlin – The Art Podcast
In dieser Episode spricht Kunstkritikerin Silke Hohmann mit dem Berliner Künstler Mischa Leinkauf (geb. 1977 in Ost-Berlin), der mit spektakulären Aktionen im öffentlichen Raum bekannt wurde. Mit subtilen Interventionen macht er die unsichtbaren Regeln, Grenzen und Kontrollsysteme sichtbar, die unseren Alltag prägen.
Ob heimliche Klettertouren auf urbane Landmarken oder poetische Verschiebungen vertrauter Räume – seine Arbeiten eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf das, was uns umgibt. Städte und ihre architektonischen Strukturen dienen ihm dabei nicht nur als Kulisse, sondern als politisch aufgeladene, konfliktreiche Räume, die einer st...

The very first episode of Gallery Weekend Berlin – The Art Podcast is out now! We’re kicking off the series with British-Croatian artist Marianna Simnett, known for her bold, unsettling, and deeply imaginative works.

Turning Towards Life - a Thirdspace podcastMaking Peace
At the end of our first 5 years of 'Turning Towards Life' we ask - how do we do the difficult work of reconciliation, of making peace with ourselves and with those with whom we share this one life, without abandoning ourselves or one another? How do we make peace together in a world where there are rarely easy answers, and where the right path is often shrouded in complexity? And can we commit ourselves to peace-making in the most ordinary ways as an endless path to walk, rather than as a 'thing' to be obtained? Hosted as always by Lizzie...
