Sergiy Bratkov (b. 1960) is renowned for his radically unsettling and striking photographs that, beneath their vivid surface, present an unflinching report on societal conditions. Like other members of the “Kharkiv School of Photography,” his work over the past 30 years has focused on social photography. In spring 2022, the Ukrainian artist, who had been living in Moscow since 2004, emigrated to Berlin. His recent work, previously centered on outdated Soviet-era clichés and the brash new capitalism of post-Soviet Ukraine, has now been sharply refocused by the brutal realities of the ongoing war. In this exhibition, Bratkov presents new cycles of images and videos created since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The once ironic observer has transformed into a reflective analyst, confronting the horrors of war in his former homeland. His new works grapple with this trauma while resisting the pull of hopelessness.The exhibition invites viewers into the intricate narrative of Russia’s monetary evolution during a time of upheaval. It explores the profound impact of the 1917 revolution on currency, showcasing how money served as both a reflection and catalyst of societal change. Visitors can discover unique artifacts, many on display for the first time, organized into sections such as “Stable Ruble,” “Money and War,” and “The New Economic Policy.” Highlights include the first “Kerensky” notes, designs featuring Marx, and the initial Soviet currency.CLUBS of the FUTURE explores the legacy of communal spaces, particularly the Houses of Culture across Europe and the former GDR, as it reflects on contemporary practices of collectivity and reform. Emerging from research into the 1,800 GDR Houses of Culture—two-thirds of which were closed post-reunification—the project addresses the societal gaps exploited by right-wing groups. Featuring innovative workshop formats, the exhibition includes Ina Wudtke’s video Greif zur Feder (Grab a Pen), Andrea Pichl’s Klub Zukunft (Future Club), and Ming Wong’s KONTAKTHOPE. Highlighting future-oriented projects, it also showcases garden initiatives like Katya Gardea Browne’s A Floating Garden & Exchange of Seeds, emphasizing the ongoing negotiation of shared civic spaces in times of transition. More at https://www.clubsofthefuture.net/The exhibition is dedicated to one of the most enigmatic, mysterious, and controversial philosophers of the USSR and his famous anthology of polemical texts, The Crisis of Ugliness, which criticizes the art of the 20th century. The retrospective showcases never presented before archive documents, Lifshitz’s texts, and artworks in ten interiors, each representing a milestone in the development of modernism or Lifshitz’s thought: 10 rooms – 10 stages of Soviet history – 10 knots in Lifshitz’s biography. The project is the first large-scale analysis attempt of the tense relationship between so-called progressive art and politics in the XX-XXI century.The exhibition Heart of a Dog: Adventures of a Banned Book. A Monstrous Story delves into the provocative themes of banned literature, spotlighting the cultural ripples caused by censorship. Through a compelling blend of visual art and literary references, this showcase invites visitors to reflect on the power of words and the resilience of artistic expression. By intertwining the narrative of Mikhail Bulgakov’s infamous novella with contemporary artistic interpretations, the exhibition not only celebrates the defiance against oppression but also fosters a dialogue on freedom and creativity in our modern world.
