With the artists Nadja Buttendorf, Markus Draper, Martin Eberle, Noi Fuhrer, and Leonie Nagel, as well as curator Lidiya Anastasova
Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) and Künstlerhaus Bethanien jointly present works by the recipients of the Berlin Senate’s 2025 visual arts work stipend. Taking place in parallel at both institutions, the exhibition brings together international artists living and working in Berlin. It underscores once again the crucial role that reliable funding structures play in the production and presentation of contemporary art. The works on view address social, political, and historical questions and critically reflect on power relations, norms, and ideologies across a wide range of aesthetic practices.
In dialogue with artists exhibiting at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) and Künstlerhaus Bethanien, this tour offers insights into the background and creation processes of the works.
