The summer exhibition Satansbraten (Devil's Brew) opens on Saturday 20 June 20 at 16:00 hours.

Curator Sebastiaan Schlicher has conceived an energetic, critical, and exuberant exhibition featuring German, primarily Berlin-based artists and Dutch colleagues who are related in mentality and subject matter.

You are cordially invited on Saturday 20 June (not Sunday) to toast with Sebastiaan Schlicher and others to the opening of the exhibition.

The title refers to Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s 1976 film Satansbraten, while also carrying the notion of rascal or enfant terrible, a badge of honour for the artist who navigates and survives in the Grossstadt. Schlicher himself wrote a tongue-in-cheek statement for the exhibition: “Satansbraten (after the film by R.W. Fassbinder) refers to the Gesunde(s) Volksempfinden towards art and artists, and anticipates the growing awareness that visual art which has nothing constructive to communicate might as well be abolished.” Many of the Berlin-based artists bring together a raw edge with a sense of humour.
