Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Architektur Galerie Berlin, the exhibition will present “Storefront Images” by photographer Jan Bitter. The series comprises more than 50 photographs taken over the course of 10 years, documenting the outward view of the exhibitions from the same perspective. Taken as a whole, they review the immense spectrum of spatial interventions that the featured architects have designed for the gallery as an artistic statement. At the same time, the series illustrates and thus contributes to the ongoing discussion about the dialogue between private interior and public exterior space.
Since the gallery’s founding, the discourse on contemporary architecture has continued to evolve in accordance with current issues. At the same time, digital information and social networks have triggered a dramatic transformation of the exhibition format itself. Accompanying the exhibition, gallery founder Ulrich Müller will speak with influential actors about the challenges and potentials of this development in the series “Status quo Architektur ausstellen” (“Exhibiting Status Quo Architecture”).
