Strange and familiar. A certain ambiguity marks the attempt of the Georgian-born, Berlin-based artist Thea Djordjadze to feel at home in an exhibition space. This spring she is presenting new work in Kiosk in Ghent.

As the opening night of a proper Berlin Gallery Weekend requires, the art was somewhat secondary to the ubiquitous wine and networking by its fashionable and multilingual audience. In terms of art however, this year, the participating galleries seem to put a collective focus on exceptionally theatrical pieces and forms of presentation. Here are some highlights from our Berlin correspondent.
He is a rising star that the exhibition circuit can no longer do without. Constant Dullaart, fresh from the Rijksakademie, can always be found showing his work somewhere. He is a critic of the medium, highly active on the Internet, and is an equally talented critic of himself and of his vocation of contemporary visual artist.

An Interview with Adam Pendleton
15/06/09 Krist Gruijthuijsen
The young artist Adam Pendleton is currently making waves with performances, paintings and installations in which he critically examines our interpretation of history and culture. His work is often describe as ‘conceptual’ or even ‘complicated’, thanks to his frequent use of texts both from his own hand and derived from Afro-American literature, music and pop culture. Is Pendleton ridiculing the clichés about black culture, collecting them like a sociologist, or is he trying to initiate a more subtle way of thinking about language and identity? Time to let him speak for himself.
