The major highlights of "Berlin X 3" include the programs of four international events: Berlin Biennale, Berlin Art Week, European Capital of Culture：Chemnitz 2025, Leipzig & Dresden Art Tour.
In addition we will visit museums and exhibitions and have a number of studio visits.
第一站：柏林
自1989年柏林墙倒塌、东西德统一以来，成千上万的年轻艺术家移居柏林，逐渐形成了一片充满活力的艺术生态圈，使柏林成为欧洲的文化地标。在“当代艺术”领域，柏林拥有各类令人叹为观止的博物馆、画廊和艺术空间，它们以前卫性和实验性闻名遐迩。而这座城市最独特的魅力，正源于其蓬勃的艺术交流氛围——这也将是我们此次柏林之行将要探访的。
第一站的柏林艺术之旅，我们将与众多知名艺术家、策展人和文化制作人面对面交流，他们大多是高校教授、画廊主理人、艺术领域先锋人物。我们将和他们探讨“当代艺术”的不同概念、形式和观念。当然，他们也很期待聆听我们的工作、兴趣和经手的项目。
我们还更安排了工作室探访及幕后对谈环节，带您从艺术生产的源头出发，亲历作品从创作到最终在画廊或博物馆展陈的完整过程，零距离感受柏林文化生态的运作肌理。我们本次项目将聚焦第13届柏林双年展 (由KW当代艺术研究所策展)，并同步参与柏林艺术周 (Berlin Art Week)的精选活动。
First Stop: Berlin
Since the unification of East and West Berlin in 1989, thousands of young artists have moved to the city, creating a vibrant artistic and creative community that has establishing Berlin as a cultural capital of Europe. In terms of modern and contemporary art, Berlin offers a stunning variety of museums, galleries and project spaces, famous for their avant-garde and experimental approach. And the main reason for being so attractive is the vivid artistic exchange in the city and this is what we are about to explore.
During our program we will have the opportunity to engage directly with numerous renown artists, curators and cultural producers in Berlin, many of whom are professors and leading figures in their artistic field. We will discuss different concepts, formats and notions of Contemporary Art. Of course, they are curious to learn more about your work, interests and projects too.
Additionally, we will have studio visits and backstage talks enabling an exclusive experience of Berlin’s cultural life from the production to the final presentation in galleries and museums. The focus of our program is the 13th Berlin Biennale, organized by the KW Institute for Contemporary Art and the highlights of the Berlin Art Week.

莱比锡是一座位于德国东部的历史名城，以其丰富的文化遗产而闻名。这里是“莱比锡画派”的发源地，拥有充满活力的当代艺术氛围。“莱比锡画派”源自莱比锡平面设计与书籍艺术学院 (Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig)，该学院成立于1764年，是德国最古老的艺术学院之一。德国统一后，莱比锡艺术家们在西方艺术市场快速崛起，令莱比锡成为艺术界的学术思潮阵地，特别是在绘画领域，像艺术家Neo Rauch和Eigen+Art画廊，更是将国际视野带到这座城市。Neo Rauch的绘画风格融合了具象与超现实主义，常常呈现出后社会主义的独特主题，展现了现实主义与梦幻影像的奇妙碰撞。
Second Stop: Leipzig
Leipzig is a historic city in eastern Germany, renowned for its cultural and intellectual heritage. It has a vibrant contemporary art scene, largely influenced by the Leipzig School of Painting, a movement that emerged from the HGB Academy of Fine Arts. Founded in 1764, it is one of the oldest art academies in Germany. The rapid rise of artists from Leipzig in the Western art market after the reunification has established Leipzig as a vital hub for the arts, especially for painting. Artists like Neo Rauch and his gallery Eigen+Art have brought international attention to the city's blend of figurative and surrealist painting, which often reflects post-socialist themes and a fusion of realism with dreamlike imagery.

2025欧洲文化之都——开姆尼茨，完美融合工业遗产与令人惊叹的历史建筑。这座曾经的工业重镇，拥有众多受新艺术运动和包豪斯风格影响的建筑，以及保存最完好的”维多利亚式”街区之一。城市地标是举世闻名的卡尔·马克思 (Kari Marx)纪念碑。开姆尼茨艺术博物馆 (Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz)馆藏大量现代艺术作品，藏品既包含德国表现主义代表作，又汇聚了本地诞生的两位大师——表现主义画家Karl Schmidt-Rottluff与建筑奇才Frei Otto的杰作。荣获"欧洲文化之都"称号的开姆尼茨，今夏将围绕"发现未见之美 (C the Unseen)"这一主题，打造一系列世界级的文化艺术活动。
Third Stop: Chemnitz
The 2025 European Capital of Culture - Chemnitz - blends industrial heritage with impressive historical architecture. Once an industrial powerhouse, the city is home to Art Nouveau and Bauhaus-influenced buildings and one of the largest preserved "Victorian" neighborhoods. Landmark of the city is the world famous sculpture of the Karl Marx Monument. The Art Museum "Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz" houses an extensive collection of modern art, including German Expressionism and works by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and the legendary architect Frei Otto, natives of the city. Chemnitz offers this summer an international program of cultural highlight due to its nomination as European Capital of Culture under the motto: "C the Unseen".
© Chemnitz City第四站：德累斯顿
德累斯顿以其壮丽的巴洛克与洛可可建筑和丰富的艺术遗产闻名。茨温格宫 (Zwinger Palace)拥有华美的亭台楼阁与艺术长廊，其内的古代大师画廊 (Old Masters Picture Gallery)收藏了拉斐尔 (Raphael)和伦勃朗 (Rembrandt)等大师的作品。作为德累斯顿精神的象征，圣母教堂 (Frauenkirche)在二战后被精心重建，堪称建筑杰作。宏伟的森珀歌剧院 (Semperoper)和可俯瞰易北河 (Elbe)风光的布吕尔平台 (Brühl's Terrace)，都彰显着这座城市非凡的艺术与历史价值。阿尔贝廷博物馆 (Albertinum)则收藏现当代艺术作品，连接着德累斯顿的古典传统与现代艺术发展。今年九月，这里将特别推出William Kentridge的大型回顾展。
Fourth Stop: Dresden
Dresden is famous for its stunning Baroque and Rococo architecture and its rich artistic heritage. The Zwinger Palace, with its ornate pavilions and galleries, is home to the Old Masters Picture Gallery, featuring works by Raphael and Rembrandt. The Frauenkirche, a symbol of Dresden’s resilience, was meticulously rebuilt after WWII and stands as an architectural masterpiece. The Semperoper, a grand opera house, and the Brühl’s Terrace, offering views over the river Elbe, further highlight the city's artistic and historical significance. The Albertinum houses modern and contemporary art, bridging Dresden’s classical past with its evolving creative scene. In September it will feature a major retrospective of William Kentridge.

Baumwollspinnerei 艺术中心 2025年，莱比锡的Baumwollspinnerei将庆祝其Gallery Rundgang画廊巡展20周年，该活动已成为莱比锡当代艺术的重要基石。这个充满活力的艺术中心位于一座曾经的棉纺厂内，这里有众多画廊、艺术家工作室及实验性展览空间。在巡展的周末，我们可以探索从绘画、雕塑到摄影、装置等各种形式的艺术作品，并与艺术家在工作室面对面交流。
Baumwollspinnerei In 2025, the Spinnerei in Leipzig celebrates the 20th anniversary of its Gallery Rundgang that has become a cornerstone of the city's contemporary art scene. This vibrant creative center, housed in a former cotton mill, features numerous galleries and artist studios and experimental exhibition spaces. During the Rundgang weekends, visitors can explore a diverse array of artworks—from painting and sculpture to photography and installations—while engaging directly with artists in their studios. The event has been instrumental in establishing the Spinnerei as a dynamic hub for artistic innovation and cultural exchange.
Galerie EIGEN + ART Galerie EIGEN + ART位于Baumwollspinnerei，在莱比锡艺术界的发展中发挥了重要作用。该画廊由Gerd Harry Lybke于1983年在莱比锡创办。起初，EIGEN + ART画廊还只是一个支持新兴东德文化艺术家的地下展览空间。柏林墙倒塌后，EIGEN + ART赢得了广泛的认可，成功扩展国际业务，并成为莱比锡学派重要艺术家的代表。1992年，Lybke在柏林开设了第二家同名画廊，而EIGEN + ART画廊也由此发展成为德国顶尖的画廊之一。在莱比锡画廊周末期间，该画廊将举办Neo Rauch的个展。
Galerie EIGEN + ART Galerie EIGEN + ART, located at the Baumwollspinnerei, has played a key role in the development of the Leipzig art scene. It was founded in 1983 by Gerd Harry Lybke in Leipzig as an underground exhibition space, supporting artists of the emerging East German subculture. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the gallery gained a wide recognition, expanding its activities internationally and representing major artists from the Leipzig School. In 1992, Lybke opened a second eponymous space in Berlin and established one of the leading galleries in the country. During the Gallery Weekend in Leipzig, the gallery is showing a solo exhibition by Neo Rauch.

附一：2025柏林双年展
Annex 1: Berlin Biennale
本次项目的核心亮点是对第13届柏林双年展的深度探索。
柏林当代艺术双年展 (Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art)是每两年在柏林不同场地举办的重要国际艺术展览。自1998年首届举办以来，它始终作为当代艺术的实验性平台，呈现不受艺术市场影响的先锋艺术视角。每届展览均由全新策展团队打造，汇聚跨学科艺术家共同探讨全球与本土的紧迫议题。
由Zasha Colah策划的第13届柏林双年展将于2025年6月14日至9月14日举行，本届以”逃亡性” (fugitivity)为核心概念。展览在柏林市中心设有四大主要场地，形成一条可步行参观的路线。展览动线特别模拟狐狸的巡游路径——这种动物在城市缝隙中迂回穿梭的生存方式，恰成为本届’逃亡性'主题的视觉化身。通过联合柏林本土文化机构共同策展，本届双年展集中展现了柏林艺术生态最宝贵的特质：其作为先锋艺术实验场的持续孵化能力。
本届柏林双年展主要场地：
1) KW当代艺术研究所
作为双年展的起点，KW是柏林实验性当代艺术的标杆空间。
2) 索菲亚剧场
这座前身是剧场的表演空间，以支持激进艺术实践著称。
3) 汉堡火车站博物馆
由旧火车站改造的当代艺术博物馆，承载着柏林的历史变迁。
4) Lehrter街前法院
本届双年展新增场馆，这座曾象征司法权威，也可能隐含不公的建筑为展览增添了历史纵深感。The major highlight event will be an in-depth exploration of the 13th Berlin Biennale.
The Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art is a major international art exhibition that takes place every two years at different locations in Berlin. Since its first edition in 1998, it has served as an experimental platform for contemporary art, featuring bold artistic perspectives beyond the influence of the art market. Each edition is curated by a new team, bringing together interdisciplinary artists to explore pressing global and local issues.
The 13th Berlin Biennale, curated by Zasha Colah, takes place from June 14 to September 14, 2025. This edition focuses on the concept of fugitivity. The biennale has four key locations in the center of Berlin, creating a walkable route. The parcours is inspired by the circular movements of foxes — a leitmotif of the curatorial program — as they navigate the urban landscape. Underscoring Berlin’s institutions as incubators for artistic ferment, the Berlin Biennale has formed a partnership with cultural spaces deeply embedded in Berlin through co-curatorial projects.
The key venues of the Berlin Biennale:
1) KW Institute for Contemporary Art
The starting point of the Biennale, KW is a leading space for experimental contemporary art in Berlin.
2) Sophiensæle
A former theater and performance space known for its engagement with radical artistic practices.
3) Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart
A former railway station turned into a contemporary art museum, highlighting historical shifts in Berlin.
4) Former Courthouse Lehrter Straße
A new venue introduced for this Biennale, adding a layer of historical significance as a former site of legal authority and potential injustice.策展理念：
柏林市中心大量出没的狐狸，成为思考第13届柏林当代艺术双年展策展理念的重要起点——这场以“逃亡性”为主题的艺术探索，源自柏林街头狐狸带来的启示。诗人描述这种相遇：当人与城市狐狸四目相对时，会陷入一种奇特的’凝滞体验’ (presencing)——时间仿佛暂停，空间产生微妙的震颤。这既非观察也非被观察，而是两种生命在相互凝视中重构了彼此的存在维度。
第13届柏林双年展将”逃亡性”视为一种文化能力：艺术具有一种'狐狸智慧'，面对看似合法的压迫，它能像城市狐狸那样，在体制缝隙中开辟自己的生存法则。这种叛逆性可能通过荒诞幽默创造新规则，或在艺术作品的闪烁间被捕捉。
这一策展基础在双年展中体现为两个层面：
首先，逐步摒弃”少数群体”这一概念本身。警惕那些为少数群体划界的身份标签——将艺术家定义为原住民、游牧者、达利特等——这些标签最终只会造成少数群体间的对立，却永远无法让他们达到那个根本不存在的“标准主流群体”的待遇。本届双年展要做的，是砸碎这些标签枷锁，彻底重构艺术话语权。若这听起来理所当然，不妨想想：在全球艺术界，有多少边缘群体的真实声音至今仍在被系统性消音。
其次，拒绝预先定义何为艺术作品、它应出现于何处及何种条件下，而是依托作品本身的模糊性与不可解读性，即使是面对看似熟悉的文化符号，我们也要保持“认知谦逊”。Curatorial concept:
The large presence offoxes within the inner city of Berlin is a starting point for thinking through the 13th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art as an investigation offugitivity. The encounter with urban foxes has been described by poets as presencing, a spinning in place, delaying in the fox’s presence for a time. The mind encounters otherness, but does not move on to associative thought chains—or prejudice. This encounter has less to do with the human identifying with the fox, but of entering a new sphere of equality with it.
This proposal for the 13th edition of the Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art is a working concept offugitivity understood as the cultural ability of a work of art to set its own laws, in the face of lawful violence. This illegality, this foxing, this traversing of laws that are unjust, sometimes happens within the imaginary a joke opens, or are glimpsed in the flicker of artworks.
As a curatorial grounding, this works at two levels within the biennale in the making.
First, slowly coming to the idea of doing away with the notion of minority altogether. To be wary of identity-labels that draw circles around minorities, defining artists as indigenous, nomadic, Dalit, that finally pit one minority against another, but never let them be equal to the false myth of a homogenous majority. This biennale seeks, instead, an encounter rooted in the restoration of lines and channels of dignity. If this sounds obvious, one may only recall to what extent that equality of voice to speak on its own terms, from its unique life of experiences has been stifled in various art contexts, globally.
The second is resisting any a priori decision of what an artwork is, where it may take place, and under what conditions, but relying on its opacities, its illegibility, and taking our illiteracy as a starting point, even for artworks arising from familiar imaginaries.

”为主题获“欧洲文化之都”的荣誉称号。该主题着力挖掘城市潜藏的历史文维度，通过超过1000场活动及223个专项计划——包括艺术节、展览、音乐会和区域联动项目，系统呈现开姆尼茨及其周边地区不为人知的文化肌理。
"开姆尼茨2025"的一个重要组成部分是连接该市与38个周边市镇的"紫色路径"（PURPLE PATH）艺术雕塑路线。这一倡议促进了区域合作，并邀请游客探索该地区更广泛的文化景观。该项目由中国艺术专家Alexander Ochs策划。
"紫色路径"成为了一位讲述者：在装置艺术作品的表面之下，正在书写这个地区不为人知的历史——关于采矿和工业、剥削与利润、边缘化与团结的叙事，以及延续至今的危机与创新的故事。60多位艺术家的作品可以在工业荒地、火车站、河岸甚至磨坊水渠的静水中找到。它们与农业和纺织博物馆展开对话，并与城堡或古老教堂及其管风琴和艺术品建立联系。The European Capital of Culture is a designation awarded annually by the European Union to promote cultural diversity and foster mutual understanding among European citizens. Since its inception in 1985, the initiative has highlighted the richness of cultures across Europe and contributed to the socio-economic development of selected cities through cultural engagement.
In 2025, Chemnitz, Germany, holds the title of European Capital of Culture under the motto "C the unseen." This theme emphasizes uncovering and showcasing the city's hidden cultural and historical facets. The program features over 1,000 events and 223 projects, including festivals, exhibitions, concerts, and regional events, aiming to reveal the unseen aspects of Chemnitz and its surrounding region.
A significant component of Chemnitz 2025 is the PURPLE PATH art and sculpture trail, connecting the city with 38 neighboring municipalities. This initiative fosters regional collaboration and invites visitors to explore the broader cultural landscape of the area.
It is curated by the Chinese art expert Alexander Ochs.
The PURPLE PATH becomes a storyteller: Beneath the surface of the installed artworks, an unknown history of the region is being written, a narrative of mining and industry, Exploitation and profit, marginalisation and solidarity, as well as a story of precarity and innovation that continues to this day. Works by more than 60 artists can be found on industrial wasteland, at railway stations, on riverbanks or even in the still waters of a millrace. They enter into a dialogue with farming and textile museums and form connections with castles or old churches, their organs and artworks.
