OPEN STUDIOS 2024
21 September 2024, 15:00 - 23:00
The Open Studios in Gerichtshöfe Wedding, which take place every September, are an integral part of Berlin's art calendar. Year after year, thousands of visitors come to the 70 studios and workshops between Gerichtstrasse and Wiesenstrasse. This is where you can still find the increasingly rare "Berlin mix" of workspaces and studios for local and international artists and designers, craft businesses and flats under one roof. In 1983, the first artists rented spaces in the historic complex between Gerichtstrasse and Wiesenstrasse in Berlin-Wedding and set up their studios and workshops here. GESOBAU AG is still the landlord today. With more than 70 artists from different backgrounds and artistic orientations, the Gerichtshöfe, which comprise four courtyards with eight staircases, are now one of the largest studio buildings in Germany.
With this year's edition of OPEN STUDIOS on Saturday, 21 September 2024, 45 artists and designers will once again open their studios and art spaces in the historic factory building at Gerichtstraße 12-13 in Wedding – today one of the largest studio buildings in Germany. Many of the participants have invited guests for collaboration, allowing creatives from various fields to develop joint presentation formats for OPEN STUDIOS 2024 – from classic art exhibitions and digital event spaces to live performances with audience. Tables and benches will be set up in the large courtyard – a perfect place to come together and enjoy the late summer atmosphere with refreshing snacks and drinks.

Visitors can also stroll through the floors and staircases of the Gerichtshöfe and go on a personal voyage of discovery (with the exception of the construction sites). Many other artists invite you to visit their studios and are happy to take the time to talk to you. At Silke Bartsch's studio, for example, you can explore how she arranges colour spaces in her paintings through delimitation, dissolution and transparent layering (Aufgang 7). Andrea Wallgren will be showing her latest large-format paintings, in which she traces the complex relationships between colour, space and people (Aufgang 7). Together with Andrea Schmidt, Anette Haas presents current lithographs and drawings (staircase 2).
