GROUP EXHIBITION

BPA// Exhibition 2024: Half-Light KW Institute for Contemporary Art 16 November 2024–5 January 2025 Berlin

Press Release

KW Institute for Contemporary Art and BPA// Berlin program for artists are pleased to present the BPA// Exhibition 2024, featuring works by second year BPA// participants produced over the course of their working period with the program. The exhibition takes place on the first and second floor of KW’s main house.

The exhibition is accompanied by a set of essays: each artist has invited an author of their choice to reflect on their work. The bundled essays will be on sale in KW’s bookshop. In addition, a public program of tours and performances offers a deeper engagement in the artists’ practices.

The partnership between KW Institute for Contemporary Art and BPA// Berlin program for artists began in 2020. BPA// is an artist-led organization, founded in 2016 by Angela Bulloch, Simon Denny and Willem de Rooij. It is an independent mentoring program that facilitates exchange between emerging and established Berlin-based artists. The program is centered around mutual studio visits between participants and mentors. It is punctuated with a range of public events, organized together with both artist-run spaces and renowned institutions. Participation in BPA// lasts two years. It is free of charge and participants receive support to produce new work.

Curator: Linda Franken
Assistant Curator: Sophia Yvette Scherer

About the Gallery

KW Institute for Contemporary Art is a place for the production and presentation of contemporary art, where the pressing questions of our time can be openly formulated and discussed. It is a center for the introduction of recent developments in national and international contemporary culture, and for further development, working together with artists and institutions, and commissioning new work.

As an institution for contemporary art without a collection of its own, but also without the specific mandate of a member-based art association, KW has a high degree of flexibility in creating its programs and addressing its audience. It is a resource both for the people who make active use of it, and for those who participate in it as visitors.

The building complex in Berlin's centre includes exhibition halls, function rooms, offices, and a café, alongside apartments and studios, and provides a space for encounters and exchanges.
