PICTURE BERLIN is a hybrid art academy dedicated to peer-to-peer dialoguing on contemporary art created by artists for artists.

• REIMAGINING WANDERS (11 - 20 September 2020) is in collaboration with the curator and long time faculty member of PICTURE BERLIN, Pauline Doutreluingne. This session looks at concrete examples of art and activism. The participants will get an in-depth encounter with artists, activists, architects and art spaces, which play a strong role in the international art scene in Berlin, through active working sessions, walks, explorations and presentations. This approach will give the residents a direct connection to prominent artists and curators who have a very experienced practice and combine discourse, spatial intervention, education, collective learning and public meetings. The addressed topics are broad and diverse and range from community-based art, architectural activism, ecology, post-coloniality, borders, protest, queerness and hacking the canon. The program is open to visual artists, writers, theater makers, curators and architects who have an active practice.
• MASH-UP (24 September - 4 October 2020) is in collaboration with the artist / curator, and long time PICTURE BERLIN faculty member Hannah Goldstein. This session will look at the methodology of collage from a multitude of vantage points. The 10 day program intensively explores the broader concepts around collage as a blueprint for thinking, making and dialoguing about art practice. This newly developed Session, sets out to be a springboard for new thoughts and ideas. MASH-UP, a multi-sensory experience, brings a plethora of voices to the discussion around knowledge gathering. The elements of MASH-UP include conversations with multiple artists and curators, in addition to a musician and chef who use a collage strategy at the heart of their practice. MASH-UP is open to artists and curators.
