From November 22, the focus will once again be on artists' books: Berlin's Kunstquartier Bethanien will host the international artbook.berlin fair with around 100 exhibitors. Gerlind Hentze from the Art.Salon artists' program will also participate.
It is an art fair with a special character: artbook.berlin, a fair for artists' books and editions, will take place this year from November 22 to 24. Around 100 international exhibitors will be presenting exceptional artists' books, as well as etchings, lithographs and analog and digital photography. The works of art on display will be accompanied by a varied program of lectures, readings and book presentations. Since the fair was held for the first time in 2012, it has been a small highlight of Berlin's cultural autumn. The artbook.berlin can be found in the Kunstquartier Bethanien at Mariannenplatz 2 in Berlin/Kreuzberg, admission is free.
The fair is open to visitors at the following times
22.11.2024: 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
23.11.2024: 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm
24.11.2024: 11:00 am to 5:00 pm
Among the exhibiting artists is Gerlind Hentze, who is taking part in the Art.Salon artist program. Her works can be found at the stand of the Akademie für Malerei Berlin, where Hentze graduated in May 2024 as a master student of Andreas Amrhein. The book artist also works as a painter and sculptor. With her vulnerable yet resilient and mysterious figures, she has been represented at various solo and group exhibitions and has been nominated for several art awards. In 2016, she won 1st prize in the painting category at the European Cultural Competition of the Spanish Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs in Jerez de la Frontera.
Hentze's artist book Verblätterungen (2022) is inspired by the autumnal changes in nature, a process that is always the same, yet different and unique every time. The artist captures the delicate beauty of the slowly fading leaf structures, reminding viewers of the uniqueness of fleeting moments.
Robert Frank was an influential photographer of the 20th century. In Robert Frank: Mary's Book, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston presents a very personal photo book from the artist's younger years. The show opens on December 21.
The lively, dynamic and concentrated formal language of sculptor Mathias Kadolph has so far manifested itself primarily through his material, wood. Now, for the first time, he has had miniatures cast in bronze in an edition of twelve sculptures each. These convey essential impressions of his formal ideas and open up to new impulses for our perception.
