From Chile, Gelbe Tonne welcomes the beautiful work of Pilar Galilea, who, with the support of the Chilean government, brings us an interestingly exquisite exhibition.

The MEMORIA MAESTRA series addresses the representation of objects and their ability to communicate as symbols, witnesses, and traces of human action. What secrets does a tool hold? What stories does it contain, and how does it record the passage of time? How can the image of a paintbrush speak of the painter and connect us with the patient speed of handmade work?

This artistic-anthropological research revolves around crafts and attempts to rescue part of the Latin American reality of those manual disciplines that have been woven between masters and apprentices for centuries, synthesising the knowledge that comes from the insistent accumulation of experiences, mistakes and unexpected successes that appear only through direct experimentation with the material.

The exhibition will remain open from Saturday 5 July to Friday 1 August.

Vernissage 5.07 7:00pm

Finissage 1.08 7:00pm

Adress: Otawi Str. 9, 13351, Berlin

This record constitutes an important cultural heritage that has been in existence for almost 10 years and is now being exhibited for the first time in Berlin in documentary format.

Das Prinzip Hoffnung Die metaphysische

Malerei von Amir Reza Modabberi

Friends of Gelbe Tonne,

It is an honour to invite you to our next outstanding

exhibition entitled Das Prinzip Hoffnung Die metaphysische

Malerei von Amir Reza Modabberi. Iranian artist with more

than 40 years of experience whose current interest lies in

the metaphysical encounter between nature and the divine:

...From time immemorial the eye of the Creator has blinked

at us in the face of nature. Here the idea still took

precedence over reality. In this perspective, the spirit

descends from heaven and manifests itself as a thought in

our brain. All our actions are prepared in this way, we

follow such inspiration in our earthly activities.

It seems to spring from the infinity of cosmic expanses.

So, we move both from above and below our feet on the

ground of nature. In this way we are subjects, nature

is what is above us - the object. Nature, as an objective,

jumps out at us from the image, seemingly as pure matter.

No human being to be seen.

How to create a seed

Seed: A thing that is the cause or origin from which others arise. RAE

From time immemorial, the seed has given us the fruit, but also the experience and understanding of the process of life. A seed is the potential and project of being, without which neither we nor much of the world around us would exist.

The seeds are there, available to us, either outside or within us, but what happens when we set out to create a seed?

In creating a seed, what is created is the act of creating

itself.

The fruit that germinates can be of many kinds: cultural,

scientific, political, etc.

Today, more than ever, we need creative power, political

imagination, and ideas to imagine new scenarios that allow us to build alternative realities. Against hegemonic models and against the polarizing inertia of today's world. The invitation

is to germinate.

Gelbe Tonne invites Berlin artists to create a seed.

Until 25 April we are accepting submissions for the group

exhibition "How to create a seed". All formats and media

that fit into a space 1m wide and 2m high are allowed.

Submit now!

Bastardo, Pepe Rovano Film

Dear audience,

At Gelbe Tonne we are honoured to announce the screening

This is the first time that this documentary will be screened in Berlin. In addition to the screening, there will be a video call with the director.

This meeting is of great relevance at a time when the strategies of memory and reparation, as well as the discussion on the prevention of genocidal acts, are part of the current situation and its urgencies.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday 27.03 at 19:00hrs

in Gelbe Tonne (Otawistr 9, 13351 Berlin).
