Based In Berlin

"Based in Berlin" will show works by some 80 artists who live and work in Berlin. The exhibition will cover the full range of contemporary art practices, from painting and drawing to sculpture, photography, film and video, text and performances to installations. A comprehensive programme of events featuring screenings, performances, live acts, workshops and debates will form an essential part of the exhibition. The curators have visited hundreds of Berlin-based artists in their studios since November 2010. They became aware of these artists through both active research and submissions to an open call. The decisive selection criteria were that the artists are primarily based in Berlin and are "emerging artists", meaning they appeared on the scene no more than five years ago.
