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 fibre-reinforced plastic, epoxy resin and carbon. With his profound knowledge of static and musical-rhythmic laws Anklam combines weightlessness, transparency and mass in his sculptures in a fascinating way. The translucent sculptures are based on impressions of landscapes, in particular mountain worlds and the dynamics of winds.

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 utilise the female form, 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.

From autumn 2023 to spring 2024, the illustrator Matthias Beckmann was an almost daily guest at the Citadel 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 engage with this topic artistically in his own unique way. Amidst the monuments from the 19th century to the present day, he produced drawings that show the collection in a new light.
