Due to extensive cleanup, the Sculpture Workshop will be closed February 06-10, 2023. Please pick up all materials and artistic work by January 27.

Dear friends of the print workshop, we cordially invite you to this year's BlueMonday on December 5 at 7 pm for the exhibition opening with current works from all workshops. Food and drink will be provided. Corona is unfortunately still an issue and therefore we ask you to do a self-test before joining us. By doing so, you will ensure the continued work of the workshop. Thank you for your trust.

Join us for a self-guided tour of the HER & BBK BERLIN studio buildings at Lankwitzerstrasse 14, 12107 as well as for EDITIONS– A finely curated art sale by EXGIRLFRIEND Berlin. Over 50 artists will open their studios to the public, perform, and display their work while we celebrate another year together on the “block” in Alt-Mariendorf.

The Ceramic workshop is fully booked until the end of 2022. From 30.11.2022 we accept requests for the 1st half of the year 2023 by mail, including the size of the project and duration. External firings are possible on a limited basis. Confirmations of bookings will be made only via mail! Without written confirmation, the space or furnace is not reserved.

The Uferhallen in Moabit, a place for alternative art and culture, is facing a major upheaval. The entire area is to be rebuilt and surrounded by flats. The artists now fear for their prospects - because in other districts of the city, art locations have already irretrievably disappeared. In conversation: Martin Schwegmann, Studio Commissioner for Berlin. A contribution by Christian Titze.

For teams with more than two persons we follow the 2G + covid rules (only vaccinated, recovered plus a negativ test) in all of the rooms of the media workshop. The same rule applies for inductions and coaching, whenever a distance of 1,5 m could not be complied.

We are pleased to inform you that the new subsidy directive for the studio rental programme came into force on 1 November 2021. The guideline was agreed between the Studio Office in the Kulturwerk of the bbk berlin and the Senate Department for Culture and Europe and replaces the previous guideline from 1993.

From August 2, 2021, the Printing workshop will reopen with normal operating hours. Access, as in all other indoor areas, is only possible for vaccinated, recovered and tested persons with appropriate proof. The number of workstations must also remain reduced due to the continued existence of clearance rules. Appointments should therefore be requested without fail. Contact studio managers! We ask

Besides concrete guidelines (master plans, white papers,...) for politics and planning of politics and administrations, we need a) a resilient civil society and b) trend-setting pilot projects in order to create sustainable structures beyond the political business cycle - this is the quintessence of my lecture in Bristol in October this year. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JV0MngSJCGs&feature=emb

The White Paper on Studio Funding is the result of a six-month process initiated by the studio commissioner for Berlin at the Kulturwerk des bbk berlin to address the issue of the future of studio funding in greater depth together with the relevant players in the production, maintenance and use of work spaces, especially for the visual arts.

Artistic production and the spaces available for this within the urban fabric have always played a valuable role in urbanization processes. Art City Lab takes Berlin as an example of such developments.
