The new exhibition at FENSTER61 shows photographs from irinadabo taken in public toilets. Wot?? Well – here you go…

The current pictures at FENSTER61 are taken by Frank Machalowski. His series “Monster” is showing well-known places in Berlin taken with long exposure times to create some kind of “monsters” out of the peoples’ rush through the scenery. Check out this beautiful photos on the FENSTER61 website.

New exhibition at FENSTER61: Gino Puddu‘s “Briefe aus Berlin” (letters from Berlin, read about the concept here).
The image will change approximately every 10 days until the 12th of March.

The current exhibition at FENSTER61 is part of the 5th European Month of Photography in Berlin. Thorsten Kirchhoff’s photographs from his incredible work “Walking” are shown in seven digital picture frames. The images are changing all the time so one can spend a long time looking inside the several spyholes and puzzling the story together. While the installation also works at daylight it is highly recommended to visit the venue at night.

Soliman Lawrence’s exhibition Old World Succulence was originally ment to be part of the 5th European Month of Photography in Berlin. For some reasons nobody really explained to us, the curator jury didn’t like it. I’m not shure if the term „curator“ is the right word here – for they only had some jpgs and some written lines for “curating” submitted works – but that’s a different story, I suppose…

The good thing about the refusal is that this exhibition is now part of the new Movement for Gallery network which means that Fenster61 dances on both parties – European Month of Photography with the next exhibiton and MfG with this exhibition.

Check out Soliman Lawrence’s phantastic work Old World Succulence on his website. For the exhibition at FENSTER61 we chose a selection of twelve black and white photographs taken at the Berliner Zoos and the Botanical Garden.

From today til Oct 16th Jan Michalko is exhibiting street photography from Berlin at FENSTER61. Michalko is a member of miraprospekt.

I launched a facebook page for FENSTER61 last week. I’m still not keen on using facebook personally but it should be fine to get some additional promo for FENSTER61 and its exhibitions. If you are on fb feel free to like FENSTER61 here.

Holger Biermanns series Lichtenberg shows photographs from a Berliner district that looks like a village in many areas. The project was realized during an artists in residence stay at Lichtenberg Studios that published a small booklet with the whole series. It can be seen as a PDF here. The exhbition at FENSTER61 is up until 11th of September. See more infos here.

Currently at FENSTER61 – Christoph David Drange: Die Haut der Stadt

A bearded affair at FENSTER61… The current exhibition shows 110 self-portraits of Andreas Albrecht at different stages of shaving. Wow! Check it out here.

4 out of more than 70 photographs from Frank Silberbach’s Berlin 140° series are currently on display at FENSTER61. The whole series will be shown at Galerie im Rathaus Tempelhof opening this Thursday, 7 pm. To find out more about Silberbach, read the interview that is published today on the Seconds2Real blog.

Max Thielmann’s series Casino Boogie consists of photographs taken in Berliner bars during the last twenty years. Those who have been in Berlin in the 90s may spot some long gone places like Mary Chain Bar, Kastanienallee, or Obst und Gemüse, Oranienburger Straße. Some pictures seem to twinkle over from a hazy distant past, some are just from around the corner and could have been taken last night. Max Thielmanns ode to Berliner night- and bar-life is on exhibition at FENSTER61 until May, 15th.

A new exhibition at FENSTER61: Torsten Schumann is showing a selection of his colored photographs from the suburban area of Berlin, bizarre findings and odd looking still lifes. For an online impression of the exhibition – as always – see the FENSTER61 website and enjoy.

Unquiet slumbers for Wenke Seemann’s sleepers at FENSTER61… While Torstraße in Berlin Mitte is a quite noisy street anyway, the construction work right next to the window is still getting on our nerves. But inside the window we have the finest contrast to that – an installation of beautiful black and white photographs of people sleeping in their own private bed. Check out the series called “Mein kleiner Wecker tickt dazu/My little alarm clock is ticking to it” here. By the way – real insiders may spot two photographers amoung the people on the photographs who have showed their work at FENSTER61 in the past…

Currently at FENSTER61: Thorsten Strasas with “Berlin. Grey.” which is also part of Seconds2Real’s group show Fascination Street. See more of his very minimalistic, dark, reserved and concrete-dominated visions here.
