BerlinBox is proud to present RAZORSICHT exhibition until 11.06.2012



Two visual artists and a photographer cut the surface, following the lines of stylized visual representation, acting in a graphic approach. The hand is a knife, a scalpel to cut with extreme precision, a scythe to furiously prune all the unnecessary. A lens, a wire, a brush, different tools for the same goal - to draw a directive that creates harmony.

BerlinBox is proud to present SECRET CORNERS• Exhibition by fredrik Schulz• In collaboration with Box-32 and Joprec



Vernissage 16.july 2011 at 7:00 pm by BerlinBox/4th Floor/Tacheles/Oranienburgerstr.54-56/Berlin/Mitte



My name is Frederik Schulz, born 1983 in Siegburg. 2003 I finished an education as an assistant of graphic-design.

Nowadays I m living in Berlin and working as a freelance digital photodesigner. For four years I have focused entirely on my photography, which is mostly about architecture, urban area and structural motifs from all over the world often produced with the panoramatechnolgy. This technique gives me the ability to exit the usual perspective of reality and enter a more surrealistic version of it. Through enhancing, promoting or minimizing the picture’s information the reality becomes interpreted and loses the idea of objective impression present in photography. Furthermore I use the HDR- and so called pseudo-HDR-technique which produces colours that give a dreamy quality which brings the viewer impression of looking at something surreal yet is somehow reminiscent of reality.

Recently I focused on replicat my pictures with farbricprints on wooden frames, which I exhibit in gallerys, office-showrooms, restaurants etc. or sell to privat persons. Apart from that I take commissions to create panoramas and singelshoots in artistic and naturalstyle for your company or private use.

If you have questions about my pictures or you have photowork that needs to be done, please contact my on the following e-mailadress:

BerlinBox is proud to show the word of VINS GROSSO


“In the game of the Boundless City, the energy that keeps on vibrating doesn’t allow to distinguish the edge,

surrounded by soft lines moving continuously in the light that runs on the laminar surface.

There is no more here or elsewhere, nearby or faraway.

What is being shown, is just the frame of a window, a stolen flash format polaroid, an urban sight glimpsed behind a glass”.

Paola Verde - Xlab corrosive art farm

HIERAUF represents a possible future vision, the warning of a change in direction. Climatic change and the excesses of mass consumption are a threat to the planet, whose big cities are expanding fast,constantly, and apparently without any rule. Like the HIERAUF project itself.

Although there are an endless number of others examples, here is a direct consequence of this, a visible and immediate one. The urban excesses of a society devoted to consumption and perfectly complacent in regard to the doctrine of consensus risk converting an idyllic zero–impact imaginary into a less agreeable vision. HIERHAUF is the negative vision of a dramatic event that could be avoided.

People In My Mind•Draw by UENDI• Exhibiton in BerlinBox TACHELES

PEOPLE IN MY MIND, a collection of drawings, pictures but most of all thoughts of a history project ever planned, a gradual elaboration made of small pieces inspired by distant lands and neighboring lands. A tangible unreality translated into a sign chart where everyone can re-find a small part of himself ‘.

“PEOPLE who passed by, eat, talk, scream, cry, laugh, fade out and fade in again… PEOPLE who hide in my head and in yours”

Uendi created the new T-shirt line for JOPREC on sale at BerlinBox•Tacheles

The History of TACHELES
“Tacheles” is an old Jewish word meaning to disclose, to reveal or to speak clearly. The slang meaning of the word was bringing to an end.
The Art-Centre Tacheles is situated in a ruin in Berlin Mitte. Located in former East Berlin, the area was a Jewish quarter in the past and has now become a meeting point for people interested in arts and culture and for those who think they are.
The building itself was the entrance of the Friedrichstadt-Passage, a huge shopping mall built in 1907.
Within a relatively short time, the department store went bankrupt, and in 1928 the house was taken over by AEG, that founded the Haus der Technik, a display and marketing space for their products.
In Word War II parts of the building were used by the Nazi Party for administration and organization departments, and in the 5th floor French prisoners of war were detained.
Between 1943 and 1945 during the allied air raids the building was hit by bombs several times and got partly damaged, but not completely destroyed.
After 1948, one side of the building was still used for many different purposes, but the other side was slowly torn down, step-by-step, as the East Berlin government had no funds to restore it properly and for the distant future they had other plans for this area. So meanwhile, the house became just a storage for building material. The very last structure still standing was planned to be demolished in April 1990.
In Febuary 1990 the building was discovered and taken over by a group of young artists from all over the world and in the meantime it has been declared a historical architectural monument, regarding its special steel construction.
After the Berlin Wall came down in November 1989, a subculture which had its main focus on autonomy, spontaneity and improvisation arose in the former East Berlin areas Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain. Artists and individualists from all over the world used the plurality of available free spaces to put alternative lifestyles to the test.
Due to the individualistic character of the building and the mass of creative activities taking place, the Tacheles soon became famous. Right from the start, Tacheles was a centre of development and realization of individual ways of thinking, of the creative contamination of art and living as well as the testing of artistically and urban ideas. Many international artists staged performances or concerts here, exhibited paintings, sculptures and installations. This essential thought still exists today and the program was even extended further by staging and organizing performances, theatre, various workshops, poetry and special events.
During its existence, Tacheles in its function as an international arts centre has greatly influenced and formed the surrounding area in a positive as well as in a negative sense. By now the once creative surrounding area has mutated to a napless trend quarter.
Tacheles also attained recognition from the Berlin government and receives a varying amount of subsidy every year in order to help finance a part of its many projects. Other money is raised through commercial enterprises such as the cinema and the bar.
Because of its special architecture and the “ruin appearance” of the rearside and due to its 13 years of activities in the international arts field, “Kunsthaus Tacheles” became quite a celebrity on a national and international scale and is also listed in many travel guides of Berlin.
In the course of changes since the wall came down, Tacheles has been confronted with the difficult challenge of remaining true to its roots and ideals without becoming too sentimental about the old squatter times. -
