Beschreibung
Established in 2010 by Stefanie Seidl in a former gateway for horse-drawn carriages that is now enclosed by glazing at both ends, the project space BERLIN-WEEKLY offers the narrow yet exceptionally tall display space to artists as a highly visible public stage for installations that respond to the setting or site. Its unilateral orientation toward the street makes BERLIN-WEEKLY a creative intervention into the urban fabric that harnesses the shopwindow format. The book presents 100 selected window installations to illustrate the widely diverse ways in which individual artists have engaged with the venue, time and again transforming the unusually shaped small space.
Stefanie Seidl studied photography in Berlin. In the 1980s, she opened the Raumpunkt design gallery, which was the first in Germany to showcase then-unknown designer stars such as Ron Arad, Jasper Morrison, Studio Alchimia, etc. In London, she completed her M.A. in Museum and Gallery Management and ran a gallery in Covent Garden. In Munich, she ran a project gallery for art and design in the Atelierhaus Hermann Rosa. During her gallery work she continued to work as a photo and video artist and exhibited her work in various galleries in Germany and England.
