Kunst im Forum an der Museumsinsel
The Forum on Museum Island, located between the traditional Bode Museum and the creative gallery district around Auguststrasse and Linienstrasse, is increasingly establishing itself as a new art location – not least due to the presence of KÖNIG GALERIE, which is making a striking statement here.
The KÖNIG GALERIE has developed into a dynamic platform for contemporary art in Berlin and beyond. Founded in 2002 by Johann König as “Johann König, Berlin,” the gallery specializes in presenting the works of emerging and established international artists, with a particular focus on younger generations. The program is characterized by interdisciplinary, conceptual approaches and encompasses a broad spectrum of artistic media, from sculpture and painting to video and installation, printmaking, photography, and performance.

Joana Schneider
EEUWEN
March 13 – May 30, 2026
KÖNIG TELEGRAPHENAMT presents EEUWEN by Joana Schneider, the artist’s first exhibition at the gallery.
Joana Schneider creates textile artworks from recycled materials such as fishing nets, which hover between painting and sculpture, giving rise to organic-looking forms. Her works appear as growing, dreamlike landscapes or fragments of nature. One major work – WADDENEINLAND – evokes a landscape that appears as if veiled through dyed textile ropes.
Schneider finds inspiration in the De Slufter dune landscape on Texel, which was created by a historic dike breach and now forms a unique ecosystem. The connection between destruction, transformation, and new life is reflected in her works, which appear both powerful and fragile and can be understood as transitions into imaginary spaces.
Opening Hours: Thursday – Saturday, 11 AM – 6 PM
