GROUP EXHIBITION

Within the realm of art, potentiality initially manifests itself as a driving force, a dynamic energy that drives creative exploration and innovation: In their search for new talent, gallerists and collectors weigh up the potential of emerging artists. New, unusual places and spaces for art are discovered, created and expanded. Artists explore the potentials of different materials and test the boundaries of traditional art genres. But they don’t stop there; they also work with what is perceived as having no potential—the unusable, the forgotten, the overlooked- and constantly renegotiate what that means.

With the Young, Fresh, Different (YFD) format, Zilberman has been promoting emerging artists at its Istanbul location since 2010. The exhibition aims to give young artists more visibility in the art scene and to open a dialogue between them and a gallery. This year, YFD will take place at Zilberman | Berlin and Zilberman | Miami for the first time.

For the Berlin edition, the artists were selected by an expert jury consisting of Gabriela Lademacher (Collector and Founder of Lademacher Consultancy), Lotte Laub (Gallery Director at Zilberman | Berlin), Catherine Nichols (Curator at Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart), Simon Wachsmuth (Artist), Christopher Weickenmeier (Curator and Research Assistant at the Kunstraum Leuphana University Lüneburg).
