Rosen aus dem Süden - Ausgewählte Werke aus Berliner Artotheken

The group exhibition Rosen aus dem Süden - Ausgewählte Werke aus Berliner Artotheken is a curatorial project conceived and curated by gallery artist Paul Hutchinson that celebrates the Artothek as an institution of public access and cultural education. Operating like a public library, an Artothek permits any citizen to borrow works of art for their private homes. Drawing from three of Berlin's largest Artotheken: Artothek Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Artothek Zentral- und Landesbibliothek Berlin and Graphothek Berlin, the exhibition presents modern and contemporary artists, democratically showcasing diverse media and approaches united by their connection to the city. The selection honours both the cultural richness of the city's art scene and the progressive vision of institutions that treat art as a civic resource rather than an exclusive commodity.
