Berlin-Kreuzberg: After 15 years, artist has to clear her studio

The artist Maryna Baranovska from Ukraine is forced to leave her studio in the Kreuzberg district in Berlin. After creating her works in the 120 square meter room for 15 years, she received the termination from the owner in April. By the end of July she has to remove everything from her studio.

Baranovska is primarily known for her large paintings. Many of their works show structures that are reminiscent of book backs, as well as recurring motifs of trees. In the past 20 years she had made most of her artistic work in her studio in Berlin. The artist studied at the University of the Arts and already exhibited her works in Berlin, Paris, Kiev and São João. Your vita comprises a total of 30 individual and group exhibitions.

The termination was pronounced by the property management on behalf of Java Has52 GmbH & Co. KG. This company was founded especially for the Hasenheide residential building 52/53, which was bought by the company in 2021. At the request of the daily mirror, what should happen to the studio, Peyvand Jafari, Managing Director of Java Vermögensverwaltung GmbH, replied that the commercial area should be "revitalized". However, more precise plans were not mentioned.

Baranovska has about 100 works of art in her studio, which you now have to sort and otherwise accommodate. When she received the termination, she asked for a personal conversation to find out whether she could rent the room alone or together with other artists after the modernization. However, your request was ignored.

The single mother has temporarily received two storage rooms in Oberschöneweide and Kreuzberg. The Federal Association of Fine Artists and the Frauenzentrum Schokofabrik enable her to store her works there. Baranovska also plans to organize women's meetings in the chocolate factory to give something back to the facility. Nevertheless, the evacuation and the move for the artist means considerable effort.

Baranovska sees the termination as a sorting of people who do not have enough money. She complains that art is no longer valued sufficiently these days. So far, she has not met the owner personally, but has only communicated with him through the property management.

The studio in Kreuzberg was not just a job for Maryna Baranovska, but a place of creativity and calm. Now she has to say goodbye to this room after 15 years and start looking for new artistic opportunities.
