The Berlin-based artist finds her motifs in crises, conflicts, collapsing states, persecuted minorities, and at the margins of society.

Made … more ARTCO BerlinDETobias KruseDeponie 16 Dec 2022 – 18 Feb 2023For his project Deponie, Tobias Kruse sought out the traces and scars of a time that still casts a lingering shadow on the present: the years subsequent to the reunification of East Germany.

As a young Fulani shepherd, he looks into the red sands of the Sahel and traces the pillowy shadows cast by the migrating clouds above. First the outlines of his sheep, later the silhouettes of people, all are captured vividly by Dicko on the walls of houses or on the colourful fabrics embroidered by his mother. These shadows remain the co… more ARTCO BerlinDELukas KorschanCould be any place / Könnte auch woanders sein 16 Jul – 13 Aug 2022The exhibition "could be any place…" by Lukas Korschan is a visual research on today's mundane spheres of solitude and conformity across the world - physical as well as of digital nature - and a quest for the glimpses of romance, beauty and poetry within. An ongoing chase for the butterfly. Presenting outtakes from his first book, Lukas enquires the exchangeability of airports, hotels or shopping malls and their meaning to both the individual and society. We see busy tr… more ARTCO BerlinDEAdeolu OsiboduFEELS LIKE HOME AGAIN 29 Apr – 11 Jun 2022Adeolu Osibodu (*1997) is an artist from Lagos, Nigeria. His engagement with photography started at the age of 18 out of the urge to manifest his thoughts. Using this media, he was able to preserve the energy of time plus convey a certain mood. Taking pictures of peculiar scenes, plants, clouds or sun rays coming though an open window, photography almost became therapeutic - and felt like home again. As time went on, he began to explore ideas of surrealism and used his digital toolkit to apply… more ARTCO BerlinDETRACES OF VIOLENCE THE GERMAN EMPIRE IN SOUTHERN AFRICA2 Nov – 11 Dec 2021The first genocide of the 20th century was committed by the German Empire in 1904-1908 in South West Africa, today's Namibia.
