If聽the Berlin Wind Blows My Flag. Art and Internationalism Before the Fall of the Berlin Wall
If the Berlin Wind Blows My Flag delves into the artistic scenes that thrived in pre-unification West Berlin within the framework of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program (BKP). As part of the residency program, international artists were invited to the city starting in 1963 to save West Berlin from 鈥渃ultural isolation.鈥�
An exhibition in three chapters 鈥� at daadgalerie, n.b.k., and Galerie im K枚rnerpark 鈥� accompanied by events at Akademie der K眉nste examines the role of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program in nurturing artistic practices and networks during the Cold War. It also investigates the program鈥檚 cultural and political orientation, which was particularly noticeable in its selection process.
The exhibition at n.b.k. focuses on key exhibitions and art movements of the 1970s and 1980s in Berlin, presented in dialogue with contemporary positions. Through an examination of historical projects in public space, paintings associated with Critical Realism, and the international network connected to EP Galerie Schweinebraden in East Berlin, the exhibition unravels the interplay of artistic movements within and extending beyond the borders of the divided city.
The exhibition If the Berlin Wind Blows My Flag is a project by Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) and the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program in cooperation with Galerie im K枚rnerpark and Akademie der K眉nste, funded by Hauptstadtkulturfonds.
