MASA BERLIN is initiated and organized by Isabel Schmiga and Sandra Teitge.
For MASA BERLIN US-American artist Wiley Hoard (*1984) relates the dimensions of the MASA (Turkish for „table“) to his own working table. Adapted to the size of the MASA, Hoard‘s work 110x150+140cm shows the humble abstract beauty of the traces and remnants of artistic work and recognizes the unforeseen possibilities of a banal object. In line with his other works, Hoard investigates, challenges, and elaborates on existing systems. Installed in the office of the Grimmuseum, a non-profit artist-run exhibition space, MASA BERLIN #5 is a grateful guest of the simultaneously occurring exhibition, Never Odd or Even‘ curated by Solvej Helweg Ovesen.
