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!
Dear audience,
At Gelbe Tonne we are honoured to announce the screening
of Pepe Rovano's acclaimed film "Bastardo".
The documentary tells the story of the director
Pepe Rovano) who at the age of 35 discovers the true identity
of his father, encountering doubts and disappointments that
lead him on a path of reparation and memory.
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).
In this workshop we invite participants to explore ways of
freeing their artistic expression in drawing and painting.
Through simple exercises, suitable for all audiences, we will
try to regain the creative freedom that we tend to lose in
adulthood, freeing ourselves from limiting social conventions...
In other words, we invite you to play!
The workshop will take place on Saturday 13 April at 11:30
at Gelbe Tonne. Otawistr 9, Wedding.
Book your place (limited availability)
For more information, please contact us internally.
We start the year 2024 with the “Gelbe Tonne” project.
Gelbe Tonne is a transdisciplinary and independent space
for artistic creation. Its aim is to build bridges between
artists, subaltern voices, and the community.
It is located in the exhibition space founded by the artist
Prof. Jochen Schimmelpeninick (originally WerkkunstGalerie)
and later run by the Syrian artist Kifan Alkarjousli.

Begriffe, die zum Innehalten mahnen. Zur Vorsicht.
Sie wecken die Ahnung einer drohenden Gefahr und
implizieren einen Schutzreflex. Einen Impuls zur
Sorgsamkeit. Ganz dem Motto FRAGIL verpflichtet,
präsentiert sich der Künstler:innen-Verein
KunstEtagenPankow (KEP)mit Gastkünstler:innen im Atelierhaus
Prenzlauer Promenade zu seiner jährlichen Werkschau.
Die Künstler:innen des Vereins öffnen am Samstag, den 25.11.
von 14-20 Uhr nicht nur ihre Atelierräume, sondern
thematisieren auch die prekäre Lage, in der sich viele
Künstler:innen in Berlin heute befinden.
Das Treppenhaus des Atelierhauses, das normalerweise
als einfacher Durchgang zu den Ateliers dient, wird
hier zu einem metaphorischen Hindernislauf, der die
Schwierigkeiten und Barrieren symbolisiert,
mit denen Künstler:innen in ihrer nahen Zukunft
konfrontiert sind.
Die Ausstellung im Treppenhaus wird somit zur Metapher
für das voranschreitende Ateliersterben in Berlin.
Kunst braucht Raum! Der Künstler:innen-Verein KEP
plädiert mit der Ausstellung FRAGIL ebenso für die
Erhaltung von kulturellen Räumen für freie Kunst in Berlin,
wie auch für den Erhalt des gesellschaftsrelevanten Zugangs
zur Kunst. KEP macht damit nicht nur auf die eigene fragile
Situation aufmerksam, sondern weist auf die allgemeine
Ateliernot hin.
Die Besucher:innen erwartet eine Gruppenausstellung zum Thema
FRAGIL im Treppenhaus des Atelierhauses, ebenso eine Bar mit
kleinen Snacks und Getränken, sowie musikalische Aktionen.
Teilnehmende Künstler:innen: Sinead Aldridge | Christian Badel
| Daniel Baden | Marion Berg | Ralph Bergel | Erdmute Blach
| Marie-Ulrike Callenius | Christel Daesler | Marula Di Como
| Sebastian Díaz Rovano | Christine Dreher | Christian Ebert
| Birgit Fechner | Dagmar Gester | Esther Glück | Johanna Grotzke

The Chilean painter Sebastian Diaz had come from Berlin,
is in Bad Sülze forthe first time and finds it very cosy.
He portrays bricks in oil and is happy about
the visitors who still notice the smell of the solvent,
he says he doesn't even notice it anymore.
For the daughter of the Barß family, however, who had
cycled from Rostock especially for the cabaret, this was
a reason not to paintin oil. (Susanne Retzlaff)
