Guido van der Werve: Number eight, nine, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, seventeen

On the occasion of the Gallery Weekend Berlin 2019, Fluentum is pleased to inaugurate its collection publicly with a solo exhibition by Dutch artist Guido van der Werve (born 1977).

Fluentum is a platform for the production, collection and presentation of contemporary art with a strong focus on time-based media such as film and video. It was founded in 2010 by Berlin software entrepreneur Markus Hannebauer (born 1976). Currently, the collection includes works by Omer Fast, Hito Steyerl, William Kentridge, Douglas Gordon, Katarina Zdjelar, Hiwa K, and others.

Beginning in April 2019, Fluentum will organize changing exhibitions in its own spaces in Berlin-Dahlem, starting with Guido van der Werve’s solo presentation, showcasing the artist’s oeuvre through a selection of six works from his “Numbers” series. In addition to works from the collection, individual artistic positions will be shown there at regular intervals. Each exhibition is accompanied by a publication.

Fluentum is located in the former main building of a military facility built in 1936-38 for the Luftwaffe, which served as the headquarters of the U.S. Army from 1945 to 1994. The Berlin Airlift was organized here. Over the past three years, the historic building on Clayallee has been extensively redesigned by the Berlin architects Sauerbruch Hutton for use as an exhibition and private space, so that seven areas spanning over 600 square meters can be used to exhibit art and host discussions with artists.

Special opening hours during Gallery Weekend Berlin: April 25–28, 11am-6pm
