Looking specifically at work influenced by the fall of the Berlin Wall, which occurred 20 years ago in November, this show includes sculpture, painting, film and the recreation and documentation of site-specific temporary installations from German and international artists, including John Armleder, Tacita Dean, Wolfgang Tillmans and Alicja Kwade. All of the works on show trace changes to the structure of the city during this time. The period in which these works were made, 1989 to 2009, highlights both the reunification which Berlin underwent after the dismantling of the pre-1989 political system and the fact that the new city is now seen as a hub for the artistic community. This exhibition is accompanied by a programme of films, discussions, performances and concerts. W.O.

This is an exhibition of more than 200 objects in two sites. It has been organised by the Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten Berlin-Brandenburg in cooperation with the Evangelical parish of St Petri-St Marien, Berlin. The main idea of the show is to relate the art patronage of the Hohenzollern dynasty from 1417 to 1613 to the events of that period. The chronological brackets enclose the inauguration of the Hohenzollerns as Electors of Brandenburg, the events of the Protestant Reformation, the uncertain rise to power of Brandenburg as a small, but significant, segment of the Holy Roman Empire to the eve of its establishment as the centre of a quasi-independent state, the emergence of a middle-class urban elite in Berlin, and the internal religious and political tensions within the Hohenzollern territories, as well as those states the empire and the rest of Europe.
The first part of the exhibition in the Charlottenburg Palace opens with a depiction of the founder, Friedrich I, in a donor portrait on the Cadolzburger Altar, a winged altarpiece made around 1430 by an anonymous Nuremburg painter. There follows a series of works by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553), his workshop and his son Lucas the Younger (1515-86), commissioned by or during the reign of the Elector Joachim I (1499-1535)—portraits (shown here, of his son and heir, Joachim II, around 1555), the nine Passion Cycle paintings, 1537, a self-portrait and an early version of the Naiad, 1515, as well as sculptures, prints, textiles, ceramics, books and manuscripts by other artists. An ardent Catholic and supporter of the emperor, Joachim I’s personal religious convictions were at variance with many, if not most, of his subjects who were Lutherans. Joachim tried to ensure a Catholic succession, but, following his death and that of the emperor, his successor, Joachim II, converted to Lutheranism in 1555. In the period covered by this part of the exhibition, the viewer is shown how the Hohenzollerns developed a realpolitik that permitted the artistic expression of various antagonistic religious alliances.
The second part of the exhibition at the St Marienkirche illustrates the interests of the emergent bourgeoisie of Berlin. A Last Judgement, 1558, by Michael Ribestein (1539-65) and sculptures by the Swabian Catholic Hans Schenck (1611-45), made for the St Marienkirche, are evidence of lively local, if not widely significant, ecumenical art production. The Renaissance ideal of the educated gentleman was bolstered by a rapidly expanding print culture, demonstrated by many works from the St Marien church library, and documents concerning the foundation in 1574 of “Zum Grauen Kloster”, which became Berlin’s most prestigious grammar school. D.L.

Echoing through the ordinarily hushed halls of the Hamburger Bahnhof come the competing sounds of “Rule Britannia” and “Deutschland über Alles”, as American artist Paul Pfeiffer launches his ArtAngel commission The Saints (video still shown right) in Germany. The sound and video installation focuses on the World Cup Final between England and Germany at Wembley in 1966. A constellation of speakers and screens relays the match and the reactions of the crowd, from tense anticipation to a deafening roar of mass celebration. Laid over the original crowd reactions are the passionate chants of a new set of spectators, a group of young Filipinos from Manila that the artist brought together to watch the match for the first time. For this German showing, Pfeiffer has added the original match commentary in English, adding a new layer of sound to the experience. Curator Britta Schmitz expects “a tremendous reaction” to the project, because the “memory of the loss is still so fresh” for Germans. (England won 4-2 after extra time.) Pfeiffer, who trained at Hunter College, New York, first realised the project in London in 2007, inspired by the opening of the new national stadium at Wembley. C.B.

This exhibition is part of a series of three celebrating the 20th anniversary of the twinning of Istanbul and Berlin. The series, which continues at the Akademie der Künste, Hanseatenweg, and the Akademie Pariser Platz, presents a comprehensive presentation of work from a variety of Turkish contemporary artists. Artists included in the Martin Gropius Bau show include sculptor and abstract modernist Kemal Önsoy, the figurative and painterly Temür Köran, Aydan Murtezaoglu, who makes films, photographs and installations, and the abstract painter Ekrem Yalcindag. Curated by Çetin Güzelhan, Beral Madra, Levent Çalikoglu and Johannes Odenthal, this section of the series consists of work dating from 1928 to the present day. The Akademie Pariser Platz shows work by female artists, and the Akademie Hanseatenweg shows work by artists engaging with the socio-political issues of modern Turkey.
Included in the Martin Gropius show is a six-minute film by Sener Özmen, who lives and works in the south-east of Turkey, entitled The Road to Tate Modern, 2003, in which two men ride horses through a bleak mountainous landscape asking farmers for directions to Tate Modern. Rob Curran
