Axel Anklam - Light Wanderer
Welcome: Dr. Carola Brückner, District Councillor for CultureIntroduction: Dr. Karin Rase, art historian and gallery owner
Axel Anklam (1971 - 2022) is a sculptor known for his abstract, organically shaped, light-flooded sculptures. In his works, he combines classic and contemporary materials - hard materials such as stainless steel and innovative materials such as glass fiber reinforced plastic, epoxy resin and carbon. With a profound knowledge of static and musical-rhythmic laws, Anklam's sculptures combine weightlessness, transparency and mass in a fascinating way. The translucent sculptures are based on impressions of landscapes, in particular mountain worlds and the dynamics of winds.

Alex Müller - Alexandraplatz
Welcome: Dr. Carola Brückner, District Councillor for CultureIntroduction: Dr. Ralf F. Hartmann, Spandau Cultural Office
Interwoven into a wide-ranging network of autobiographical references, Alex Müller's first institutional solo exhibition in Berlin is a fascinating presentation of painterly, sculptural and installation works. Both poetic and objective, her paintings, objects and site-specific interventions mark stations and turning points in her personal and artistic life. The narratives are multi-layered and use the female figure, the physical and subjective as well as unusual objects and materials to trace the lines, paradigms and distortions of life in a broad visual field.

Matthias Beckmann - Revelations
Welcome: Dr. Carola Brückner, District Councillor for CultureIntroduction: Dr. Jens-Ole Rey, Curator of Fine Arts
From fall 2023 to spring 2024, the illustrator Matthias Beckmann was at the Zitadelle almost every day in the exhibition Unveiled. Berlin and its monuments. At a time when people around the world are reflecting on how to deal with so-called toxic monuments and calling for a more critical approach to them, Beckmann's impulse was to approach this topic artistically in his own unique way. Amidst the monuments from the 19th century to the present day, he made drawings that show the collection in a new light.

Art in architecture - 2 projects
Welcome: Dr. Carola Brückner, District Councillor for CultureIntroduction: Christian Hamm, Consultant for Art in Architecture

The competition for the construction of a new elementary school on Wiesen-/Weidenweg in the Staaken district was commissioned by the Senate Department for Urban Development, Building and Housing and the competition for the redesign of the Jonny K. activity park in the Staaken district was commissioned by the Spandau District Roads and Green Spaces Office.
