Featured Events in Germany in June, 2025 (June Updated)

YOKO ONO: DREAM TOGETHER at Neue Nationalgalerie is an exhibition featuring works from across Ono’s groundbreaking career. The exhibition invites viewers to move beyond passive observation and engage in active participation – both physically and mentally. Often beginning on an individual level, these actions evolve into broader collective efforts, demonstrating the transformative power of communal actions in working toward peace and imagining a different world. The works invite collective actions of repair, healing, cleaning, mending, wishing, imagining, and dreaming. Before entering the exhibition, visitors are invited to engage in a moment of self-reflection through Cleaning Piece (1996). Piles of local river stones are arranged, prompting visitors to reflect on their joys and sorrows. This is followed with instructions to fold paper cranes for peace, gradually filling the exhibition space. In Mend Piece (1966), visitors take part in an act of repair, piecing together broken ceramic cups and “mending with wisdom and love.” The exhibitions central installation, Play It By Trust (1966/1991), features a large chess table where up to 20 players can simultaneously engage in the nearly impossible act of playing with all white chess pieces, challenging them to “play as long as you remember where all your pieces are.”

This special exhibition, presented in the staircase hall of the Neues Museum, offers a dialogue on the meaning of time, mortality and the connection between past and present. Contemporary art meets historical space, refers to ancient models and offers a modern adaptation of the classical reception of the myth of the Dioscuri, who walk eternally between death and life.

Klára Hosnedlová's exhibition at the iconic Hamburger Bahnhof National Gallery for Contemporary Art combines sculpture, performance and mixed media to create a unique sensory experience. The art exhibition will run from May 1 to October 26, 2025, inviting visitors to learn about history, reflect on the present and dream about the future.

Rachel von Morgenstern works on translucent polyester canvases, which are themselves stretched on heavy stretcher frames. With preferably vivid colors and hues of acrylic paint von Morgenstern develops intriguing arrangements of color and spatiality, transparency and opacity in gentle and dynamic gestures. Her compositions oftentimes appear light and elegant yet determined in the way elements such as gestural brushstrokes or abstract undefined shapes are placed and color nuances chosen. Her painterly pictorial settings brilliantly evoke the suspenseful ambiguity of painting between its very material surface and illusion of pictorial space.

Vitali was born in Como, Italy.He studied photography at the London College of Printing.He initially worked as a photojournalist for the Report Agency in the 1970s, and later as a movie camera operator.In 1995 he took on fine art photography, often standing on a podium four or five meters high, and using large-format film cameras to capture high-resolution details over a broad expanse in locations such as beaches, clubs and public spaces.

In 2025, the Kunstmuseum Magdeburg celebrates its 50th anniversary: half a century of artistic engagement, social reflection, and cultural transformation. Since its founding, the museum has been dedicated to contemporary art – both then and now. From the state-controlled art policy of the GDR to the democratic awakening of 1989 to the international outlook of recent decades, the museum tells a story of continual change.

​The Vocatium Fair is a training and learning fair that brings together companies, technical colleges and universities, academies and institutions in a personal dialogue with young people about career choices. The Vocatium Fair is a training and learning fair that brings together companies, technical colleges and universities, academies and institutions in a personal dialogue with young people about career choices. The unique advantage of the Vocatium Messe is the well-prepared and planned discussions between students and exhibitors. As a result, the quality and benefit of the consultation session is higher for both exhibitors and young people than at a regular career fair. Before the fair, students are preparing to visit the fair by the organizing team of the IfT Institute for Talent Development. IfT then organizes individual meetings with exhibitors, taking into account the professional interests and wishes of the students. Students receive these one-to-one appointments 14 days prior to the exhibition date so they can prepare for their study fair interview with specific questions and, if necessary, an application folder. Spontaneous visitors without an appointment are also very welcome at the training fair. In addition to personal conversations with exhibitors, all visitors to Vocatium will be offered an informative lecture program. The unique concept of the exhibition with scheduled meetings has proven itself in 90 locations throughout Germany. The organizer looks back on 20 years of experience and every year motivates 500,000 young people to recognize and develop their talents and prepare well for careers and study choices.  Information Source: IfT Institut für Talententwicklung GmbH | expotobi

The exhibition is aimed at gamers of all ages, but also at visitors who have little experience with computer games. The fact that computer games have developed into a leading medium is no longer a daring thesis. The social and aesthetic significance of the interactive and multimedia medium can no longer be overlooked. The computer game has freed itself from its origins as a laboratory experiment and toy and has become "the" medium of digital society, somewhere between pop culture, entertainment and art. With the opening of the exhibition »The World of Games« in the fall of 1997, the ZKM was one of the first art institutions worldwide to give video game culture a permanent public platform in an art context. Since then, the ZKM has repeatedly reshaped the presentation of games in a series of different exhibitions.

Twelve highlights from its premium collection will be guests at the Berlinische Galerie from October 2022. They bring new tones to the permanent in-house exhibition, sparking a conversation with resident works. Sharing collections and jointly making them accessible to the public must become standard museum practice in the future. In this instance, the partnership was prompted by extensive conversion work at the Märkisches Museum, which is scheduled to close for four years in 2023, leaving the foundation Stadtmuseum Berlin without its principal home. To ensure that significant paintings from its collection can remain on display, the idea was born in the two houses of integrating selected works into the permanent exhibition “Art in Berlin 1880-1980”. Early modern art is a particular strength of the Stadtmuseum Berlin holdings. The paintings to be hosted at the Berlinische Galerie are by Max Beckmann, Theo von Brockhusen, Lovis Corinth, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Walter Leistikow, Max Liebermann, Edvard Munch and Lesser Ury. All of them were important figures who enriched the city’s art scene in the early 20th century.

Ayoung Kim’s (b. 1979 in Seoul, Korea) first solo exhibition in a German museum spans the most recent years of her artistic practice and explores concepts of time, reality, belonging, and queerness. Using Artificial Intelligence, video, game simulations, and sculpture, Ayoung Kim creates expansive fictional universes governed by their own temporal and spatial laws. Her works are linked by speculative narratives rooted in reality, and viewers become both spectators and first-person players, shaping the story from their perspective.

The creation of Museum Marta inspired the Herford family entrepreneur Heiner Wemhöner to engage intensively and continuously with contemporary art. His collection, which now comprises around 1,800 works, bears witness to his very personal approach to contemporary art.

Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin presents Ekimyula Ekijjankunene (The Gorgeous Grotesque / Die prächtige Groteske), a solo exhibition of new works by Leilah Babirye at Goethestraße 2/3 and Bleibtreustraße 15/16. This is the artist’s inaugural exhibition with the gallery.

Intestine disorder is a condition that has been largely caused by stress and anxiety since Tirdad Hashemi’s childhood. As a transgender person, Tirdad has always focused on studying weakened, isolated, and reshaped bodies through their paintings. Drawing ill and malfunctioning intestines together with Soufia Erfanian, Tirdad’s partner, is a form of caring for each other in their relationship. Mahsa Saloor’s poem accompanying the drawings, allows Tirdad to explore other aspects of the body, which is very important to them as a POC who grew up and lived in a community-oriented culture of Iran. Saloor’s poetry explores the relationship between nature, queer feminist spirituality, sensuality, and eros. They are interested in the subversive potential of poetry as a form to activate the interiority of psychic life to be a sensuous experience, and as a tool for fostering cosmologies that aim to recuperate our relationship with nature, the sacred, and the erotic. Connected, Dou’s drawings and Mahsa’s words gain more meaning and become more powerful.

Galerie Bastian presents a solo exhibition of new photographs by renowned photographer and film director Wim Wenders, opening on the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin.

As part of the exhibition melody / transmitter, the gallery presents the new series humanoid has escaped by Gerwald Rockenschaub. The works in the humanoid has escaped series play with subtle deviations, irritations, memories and reappropriation.

In his fifth solo exhibition at the Galerie Vera Munro, Jānis Avotiņš presents new paintings and sculptures that thematically continue from the Latvian artist's last exhibition and invites viewers to immerse themselves in Avotiņš' quiet, profound world.
