Last weekend The Berlin Office hosted an opening for its temporary exhibition, I am the space where I am. It was a good time. I was reminded of the ambitions of Short House’s Group Show. I really love it when a space can be transformed into something communal and intimate. There’s inspiration in that.
From the exhibition text: “The Berlin Office holds various functions as a space. It is first and foremost a shelter, providing artists with a domestic environment for the duration of their stay as a resident. It is also a studio, providing space for concepts and projects to be developed and realized. Taking the versatility of function in to consideration, I am the space where I am explores The Berlin Office as a temporary exhibition. The installed works will respond directly to the apartments architecture; examining how a site, with its history and context, resonates as a framework for a collection of artistic responses.
Each of the artists invited to exhibit have spent a duration of time in The Berlin Office; either as a visitor, invited by the long-term artist in residence, or as a resident themselves.”
