exhibition “Emerging lines”, Kunstraum Potsdamer strasse, Berlin

„Emerging Lines“ promotes talented art and design students from the cities of Paris, Berlin, Wrocław and Riga through a series of exhibitions. It not only aims to showcase emerging talents and new artistic positions, but also to foster artistic careers in a European context.

The project is a cooperation of the CROUS de Paris, the studierendenWERK BERLIN, the Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław and the Art Academy of Latvia in Riga. The project has been initiated through the existing collaborations between Berlin and Paris, as well as art projects of the CROUS de Paris with Riga and Wrocław. Every city hosts one exhibition with artists from the partner cities. The architectural diversity of the gallery spaces supports a great variety of artistic expressions and methods.

The first exhibition has taken place in Paris in January 2019. The Kunstraum Potsdamer Straße presents the second exhibition EMERING LINES #2 for the Gallery Weekend 2019. The artists are: Jonas Büssecker and Jingjing Du, selected by STW Berlin, Sandra Strēle and Laura Veļa, presented by Art Academy of Latvia, Charles Cadic and Joon Yoo invited by the CROUS Paris, Paweł Baśnik and Alicja Patanowska, presented by the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław. The next exhibitions will take place in Wrocław in October 2019 and in Riga in February 2020.

The artists are not working on one specific subject and the exhibition is not representing a medium in particular - but this artistic collective is about sharing and exchange. These „emerging lines” are growing through different conversation views, and thanks to those unique moments when artistic approaches meet and inspire one another.
