The Lumen exhibition brings together 30 multifaceted artistic voices from the Netherlands and Germany. At the exhibition’s centre is the theme of light in all its manifestations: as sunlight or artificial light, technological innovation or atmospheric moment. Light creates presence, casts shadows, defines emphasis. It is both a material and a bearer of meaning—sensual, poetic, experimental.

How does a place become a place – or rather, how does it gain value? Of course, there is the history of a building. But perhaps it is only through the energy of the people who live there, through their creative work and the time they spend together, that it becomes a meaningful place. The exhibition explores this question and presents works by 22 artists from Treptow-Ateliers e.V.

Treptow-Ateliers e.V, is taking part in Brückenfest on Saturday 13. July 2024. With the motto: "Brücken statt Mauern" the collective SchöneVibes Kollektiv e. V. organises from 12pm-9pm, a series of events at the area around Platz am Kaisersteg (main stage) and 12 more places in Ober- and Niederschöneweide. The artists of Treptow Ateliers open once more the doors of their studios to public.

Join us to the Open Studios day on Sunday 21 April 2024. Its been already one year since we relocated our studios from Rathenauhallen to Wilhelminenhofstrasse 76/77 and we want to share with you a new beginning, bringing together works from artists in residence as well as other members of our community. Be there!
