Lichtenberg Studios

Artists in Residence 2024

The Lichtenberg Studios are showing works by the artists in residence Marcos Vidal Font and Lorena Ruiz Pellicero in the museum lounge. These were created during their stay at the Lichtenberg Studios 2024.

From February 13 to April 24, 2025, the exhibition will show the projects they pursued during their stay in Lichtenberg.

Marcos Vidal Font worked with objects he found on the streets of Lichtenberg.

Lorena Ruiz Pellicero discovered a “connect the dots” drawing on a public shelf on the street outside the studio when she arrived in Lichtenberg. Instinctively, she began to paint over the map of the Lichtenberg district, trying to simplify its form to a minimum of expression. She then sought out the coordinates of these dots and traveled to them.

Artists in Residence: Berlin and Sineu

Marijo Ribas and Berit Myrebøe completed this year’s exchange program with the new cooperation partner espai sant Marc on Mallorca.

The exhibition Artists in Residence: Berlin and Sineu showed the results of their work in Lichtenberg and Sineu from November 19, 2024 to January 19, 2025

Due to her own family history, Marijo Ribas dealt with labor migration, often described here in Germany as guest workers. In Lichtenberg, she came across the former Vietnamese contract workers: with the change in the economic model and the closure of many factories, some Vietnamese returned to their homeland, while others decided to stay in Berlin. There is still a large community and important meeting places are the Pagoda Temple and the Dong Xuan Center.

Berit Myrebøe used the existing workshop at espai sant Marc with its possibilities to use different printing processes for her work. The main focus is on the different backgrounds and the various techniques for processing the printed image, allowing light or a hidden motif to shine through the paper.
