Sharp and blurred layers of memory

Berlin-based artist Sławomir Elsner works with coloured pencil, watercolour and sculpture - he creates spaces of memory in which lines run and meanings blur. He is not interested in answers, but in a change of perspective: what remains of an image that we remember - or think we recognise?

On 11 September 2025 (7-10 p.m.), Elsner will present selected works in our rooms at Kurfürstendamm 194. The exhibition breaks up traditional series of works - it sees itself as an open search for traces in the existing art landscape.
