Galerie Nordenhake is opening a new, larger location in Berlin’s Charlottenburg district, the gallery announced this week. The space, at Goethestraße 2–3, opens to the public on September 10th with a reception timed to coincide with Berlin Art Week. A group exhibition titled “Symptoms” will be the space’s inaugural show.
The move caps a year of 50th-anniversary programming for the gallery, which celebrated five decades of exhibitions across its Berlin, Stockholm, and Mexico City locations in 2026. The new address—a 19th-century building constructed in 1881 as a post office complex and designed by the architect Wilhelm Tuckermann—previously belonged to Galerie Max Hetzler.
“Symptoms” brings together 16 artists who work in collage, photography, sculpture, and paint, including Mirosław Bałka, John Coplans, Ann Edholm, and Not Vital. The exhibition title links their pieces to traces of underlying conditions: The featured artists explore the unease of these subtle cues through fragmented bodies, unstable pictorial space, and hybrid materials.
At the center of the exhibition is Benjamin Orlow’s Ritual City (2026), a large-scale plaster, ceramic, and wood sculpture in which two figures merge with scaffolding, which the gallery describes as “suspended between formation and dissolution.” Other works include Edvard Munch’s 1895 lithograph Vampyr II, a grief-laden early drawing by George Grosz, and Michael Schmidt’s nine-part photographic group Untitled (from Waffenruhe) (1985–87). The show also features paintings by Mamma Andersson and Sophie Reinhold, and collage works by Frida Orupabo drawn from archival photographs of Black bodies.
