Akademie der Künste Goes Bellevue
13‒28 June 2026
The Akademie der Künste is realising a two-week pop-up gallery at Schloss Bellevue (Bellevue Palace) and is converting the official seat of the Federal President into a temporary venue for the arts.
As the seat of the head of state, Schloss Bellevue is a symbol of our liberal democracy – and consequently not a neutral exhibition space. The artworks are deliberately placed in a dynamic relationship with the Location. This unique exhibition has been made possible because Schloss Bellevue must be emptied before its renovation, and the Federal President is making the temporarily vacant rooms available for art.
The following Akademie der Künste members, among others, are participating in the exhibition: Peter Badel, Rosa Barba, Carola Bauckholt, Ann Cotten, Alexandra Bircken, Monica Bonvicini, Jürgen Böttcher, Ayşe Erkmen, Jochen Gerz, Katharina Grosse, Hanna Hartman, Bjørn Melhus, Boris Mikhailov, Karin Sander, Matthias Sauerbruch, Hanns Schimansky, Gregor Schneider, Chiyoko Szlavnics, Wolfgang Tillmans and Manos Tsangaris. Moreover, the project’s initiators ‒ Christian Awe, El Bocho and Christopher Lehmpfuhl ‒ are also involved.
Anh-Linh Ngo, vice president of the Akademie der Künste, and Cécile Wajsbrot, deputy director of the Literature Section, are the curators responsible for the entire presentation. The “Büro der öffentlichen Sache” (Public Affairs Office), curated by Akademie President Manos Tsangaris, is an artistic and discursive space that sees itself as an open forum where artistic perspectives can break down social polarisation.
Under the Patronage of the Federal President
