Twentieth Anniversary Edition — In It Together
28 November – 13 December 2025
W139
Warmoesstraat 139
Amsterdam, The Netherlands

W139 is pleased to announce In It Together, a two-week exhibition marking the twentieth anniversary of the artist-run space. Opening on Friday, 28 November 2025, the exhibition celebrates two decades of collective practice, artistic commitment, and sustained community engagement.

Conceived as both a retrospective and a forward-looking statement, In It Together brings together over eighty artworks alongside happenings, extensive archival material, and an expanded auction format. The exhibition reflects twenty years of experimentation, collaboration, and resilience—highlighting the shared efforts that have shaped W139 as a platform for artistic production beyond conventional institutional and market-driven frameworks.

The exhibition title functions as theme, philosophy, and reminder of W139’s origins. In It Together underscores the importance of collective support, shared experience, and mutual responsibility within an artist-led context. In a deliberate gesture that challenges prevailing notions of market value, all proceeds from the auction will be divided equally among the participating artists, regardless of individual sales results—affirming a commitment to shared value over competitive economics.

20 Years of Artistic Development
Group exhibition at WERKSTATT PLETTENBERG

Ratsaal, Plettenberg Town Hall, Grünestraße 12
August 4–24, 2025
Opening: Friday, August 8 at 7:00 PM
Introductory remarks by Hartmut Engelkemeier & Isabel Vila-Crummenerl

In 2008, I received a residency scholarship at WERKSTATT PLETTENBERG –
a formative time that helped shape my artistic direction.
Now, almost two decades later, I return as part of Ausblick ins Gestern 2.0, 
a group exhibition featuring 15 former fellows (2005–2024).

The show offers a look back at the evolution of our practices while celebrating 
the lasting influence of artist residencies. My featured work continues to explore atmospheric phenomena, imagined landscapes, and the poetic geometry of light 
and space.

A printed exhibition catalogue has been published
to accompany the show.

The pill that cured everything

Group Show curated by Debsaysyes

The pill that cured everything is looking for answers. We want answers and we want them now.

Two blue check marks in whatsapp don’t mean that you saw the message. No! It means you have to answer right away. We want it all and we want it now. Patience seems distinct. We see no harm in ordering plastic shit and ultra fast fashion from Chinese webshops and have it shipped across the world, only to discard of it, because, well, who needs inferior quality?  A populist politician promises to have a war decennia and longer in the making ended in just one day. If the doctor we don’t trust to begin with doesn’t cure us right away, we burst with aggression.

See, incompetence and  big pharma are out to get us. The only good fix is a quick fix. An easy way out that will cost us nothing. In this black and white world we luckily still have artists. The ones dedicated to depict the world they live in or the one they’d rather live in. The ones adding beauty and meaning. The ones that provoke thoughts or stir up emotions. The ones providing real solace. New meanings. New solutions. Maybe even answers.

A pill that cures everything. For all to have and take. Twice a day with some water. If only we were listening and looking.

Text about the artworks included in the show:
Is astronomy imagery merely escapism, or does it provide deeper social commentary that challenges our perceptions? Science fiction encourages us to envision hopeful futures in an uncertain world while reflecting the current conflicts and challenges humanity faces.

Anne Wölk employs astronomical imagery as a powerful medium to explore societal utopias. Her work intertwines scientific research with vivid imagination, creating pathways toward inspiration.

Wölk captures the beauty of the universe using vibrant colors and dreamlike scenes that resonate with the aspirations of her generation. By blending celestial imagery with influences from German Romanticism and photorealism, she explores emotional depth while remaining grounded in reality. The theme of a universal cure highlights the collective yearning for quick solutions to the complex challenges of today’s fast-paced society.

In the exhibition, the artist presents a range of drawings, including a lunar landscape, the galaxy Centaurus A, and dramatic cloud formations against starry skies. One standout piece features a black canvas with two glowing neon tubes arranged in a triangle, set against a stunning starry backdrop. This artwork invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between light and darkness.

**Event Details:**
*Date:* *November 30, 2025*
*Time:* *16:00 – 00:00*

I am excited to share that my piece titled “Churyumov Gerasimenko” has been officially selected for the BitBasel Space: Art for Impact initiative. It will be launched to the Moon this November aboard the Griffin-1 lunar lander as part of NASA’s CLPS program. This is a monumental moment for me, and I am honored that my artwork is included in this historic cultural preservation mission. This unique program is part of the GLPH (Galactic Library Preserve Humanity) archival payload, set to launch on the upcoming Astrobotic Griffin-1 lunar mission under NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. Using Nanofiche, a space-grade technology designed to withstand the extreme conditions of space, the selected artworks will be preserved for billions of years on the Moon as a testament to human creativity, purpose, and legacy.

I’m excited to announce that my drawing will be featured in the Yellow Pages artist book project during this year’s Gallery Weekend Berlin. This project was created by Johannes Mundiger and Daniel Hahn and includes contributions from 130 artists.

**THE YELLOW PAGES**

It’s 1995. You arrive at the Wildenbruchstraße stop on the 104 bus. You need to make a phone call, so you look around and see a light ahead, glowing white and magenta. You’ve found the phone booth.

You quickly step inside and open the Yellow Pages; the number must be in there somewhere.

**Opening:** May 2, 4-8 p.m. 
**Exhibition:** Saturday, May 3, and Sunday, May 4, 2025, from 2-6 p.m. 
**Location:** Phone booth at the corner of Wildenbruchstraße and Harzer Straße, Berlin-Neukölln 
*(Note: Today, the bus stop is served by the M43)*

February 8 – March 28, 2025

ANONYMOUS ARTISTS

Opening:Friday, February 7, 2025, at 8 p.m.
Kunsthaus Erfurt
Michaelisstraße 34, D-99084 Erfurt
Opening Hours: Tuesday to Friday, 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. / Free Entry

From February 8 to March 28, 2025, Kunsthaus Erfurt will host a project focused on the medium of drawing: ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS, curated by artist Anke Becker.

ANONYMOUS ARTISTS
How does one’s judgment change when the names and backgrounds of the artists are unknown? How does one define value when all prices are the same? Where is the line drawn between art and non-art?

In the exhibition ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS 2024/25 at Kunsthaus Erfurt, approximately 400 drawings by 400 international artists will be displayed. The works will be exhibited anonymously and offered for sale at a uniform symbolic price of €250. An artist’s name and place of origin will only be revealed upon the sale of a drawing, marking the remaining blank space. The fixed price is intended not as an actual market price but as a conceptual placeholder for any potential sales amount in the art market.

An international call for participation preceded this exhibition, allowing anyone to participate. There were no specific requirements regarding content or form, except that drawings should not exceed A3 size. Biographical information was not requested and did not factor into the selection process, which was conducted anonymously. The drawings on display were chosen from over 4,400 submissions by Anke Becker, in collaboration with artists Inken Reinert and Veronike Hinsberg, and compiled into a large installation.

ANONYMOUS ZEICHNER*INNEN is both a conceptual art project and an exhibition, where individual works contribute to a collective piece without hierarchies. The first exhibition of the current selection of Anonymous Zeichner’s work was held from November 16, 2024, to January 12, 2025, at Kunstraum Kreuzberg, Berlin, featuring all 1,000 selected works from the Open Call 2024. Due to the smaller space at Kunsthaus Erfurt, around 400 drawings will be presented there. The remaining works will be available for viewing and purchase online starting February 10.

SALE OF DRAWINGS AT KUNSTHAUS ERFURT
During the opening on Friday, February 7, 2025, at 9 p.m.
During the finissage on Friday, March 28, 2025.
