Month of art on construction: Experience creative highlights in Berlin-Mitte!

On May 28, 2025, the district mayor of Mitte, Stefanie Remlinger, announced that the "month of art on construction" will take place in the middle of the district in the middle of June. This program offers the residents and visitors of the city the opportunity to gain deeper insights into the creation processes of local -specific works of art. It includes artists' talks and guided tours that deal with both historical and newer art -creating work. The program ends on June 28, 2025, the day of architecture.

A highlight of the month will be the inauguration of the artwork "Where the wild animals live", which will take place on June 4 at 3 p.m. at the 49th primary school in Berlin-Mitte, Adalbertstraße 53. In her work, the artist Stef Heidhues combines wildlife such as the owl, raccoon, fox and lizard with the urban space, which appeals to both aesthetic and thematic dimensions.

Various event offer

From June 3 to 29, an exhibition of art on the construction projects of the past 13 years is also shown. Holger Herschel's photographs can be seen on the showcase at Mathilde-Jacob-Platz 1. On the day of the architecture, June 28th, a guided tour is offered from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., which focuses on the architectural art of the GDR. Art historian Edouard Compere will explain the route from the Marx-Engels Forum to Petriplatz, which ranges from 1956 to the present.

In addition, further events are planned. A walk entitled "Mapping Wedding: In the Traces of the Mapquilt Tree" will take place on June 18 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., while on 11 June from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. a guided tour to art will be offered at construction in Wedding.

Advice and support for art on construction

The district office Mitte places great importance on the artistic design in public space and is advised by a knowledgeable commission. This is appointed by the district councilor responsible for culture and consists of representatives of the departments for art, culture, history, urban development, monument protection as well as street and green spaces. Members of the Commission are also artists. Your task includes advice on awarding procedures for art in building and in urban space and the development of specific tasks.

The tradition of artistic examination of the urban space in Berlin is long and is supported by the state of Berlin. The Kunsts Committee (BAK) offers the cultural administration additional support. These efforts are intended to strengthen the competition culture and promote public discourse on contemporary art in a historical and socio -political context. Works of art in urban space are not only formative, but also freely accessible and offer low -threshold access to art outside of museums.
