Despina Stokou, Galerie Eigen + Art
Yesterday marked the opening of abc art berlin contemporary 2016 which is running until Sunday.
With over 50 galleries participating, there’s no way you’ll be stuck for something to do this weekend. We at SLEEK have made it a little bit easier to choose from the everything going on over the next few days, by assembling a list of our top 5 booths.
Despina Stokou, Galerie Eigen + Art
Stokou’s interest in a universal alphabet has led her to create a body of work based around emojis. Her pieces on show consist of drawn or painted depictions of emojis, that her friends sent her as a type of portrait of themselves.
Erwin Wurm, König Galerie
Austrian born, Erwin Wurm, has a reputation for being playful and spontaneous in his work. From his One Minute Sculptures to his newest work, a sense of random fun is always expected.
Kenny Scharf, Galerie Hans Mayer gallery
Former room-mate of Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, has a wide range of talents when it comes to his artwork. Established in the fields of painting, sculpture, and performance, there is always something visually arresting at a Scharf show.
Laure Prouvost, Carlier Gebauer gallery
Laure Prouvost is back in the Carlier Gebauer with her famous poetic installations, immersing the viewer in video, text, sound.
Andreas Schulze, Sprüth Magers gallery
As a resident of Sprüth Magers, German artist Andreas Schulze has had many years experience exhibiting here. His large scale paintings prove a popular attraction, in his solo shows and group shows alike.
abc art berlin contemporary 2016 runs until Sunday 18 September 2016
