For the third time Amsterdam and Berlin based galleries organise a collaborative exhibition that displays current positions of contemporary art. Titled as I AMsterdam YOU BErlin works of international artists will be shown in the St. Johannes Evangelist church in Auguststraße.Parallel to numerous exhibition openings in Berlin, I AMsterdam YOU BErlin presents a concentrated insight into the vivid contemporary art scene of two cities with a rich background of artistic tradition. With 10 participating galleries and 4.000 visitors at one weekend, the second issue of I AMsterdam YOU BErlin has already been a great success. This year the sacral environment stirs again a special interaction with the space inviting to include the spacial component for the presentation. Works of 37 artists from 11 nations will be displayed. The focus is on painting and drawing, but genres like installation, photography and sculpture are also represented. Entitled as “Hidden Treasures“ the exhibition holds for the first time a concrete metatopic, of which every of the 14 gallery presentations is inspired by. Therefore, it creates a diverse metatopic-related exhibition of different positions on a superordinate level.The event aims at creating an intercultural exchange and beeing a platform for the presentation and imparting of contemporary art. Each artwork is linked to the exhibition topic and of course can be purchased. The entrance is free. The project is friendly supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and takes place in collaboration with the Kulturbüro Elisabeth. During the opening on 30th of April the artist and musician Melle will present a music performance.
