Berlin 2027
Exhibition Programme
In 2027 Adler & Moriarty will develop its Berlin programme through a sequence of tightly curated exhibitions and evolving curatorial investigations.
Rather than approaching exhibitions as isolated events, the programme develops recurring questions across artists, materials and contexts. Some investigations begin online or through research and return in new physical forms; others originate in the gallery and continue through future exhibitions, collaborations and projects.
22 February – 4 April 2027
Within the Field: Berlin
How does the way a work is encountered change what we see within it?
A physical chapter of Adler & Moriarty’s ongoing relational investigation, bringing contemporary works into dialogue with artistic and institutional contexts beyond the gallery.
Rather than proposing direct equivalence, Within the Field considers affinities, tensions and visual structures that emerge between works across different artists, periods and conditions of display.
With works from Seán Cotter, Simon James, Brian Martin Brooks and invited positions, including Charlotte Meisel and Mary Blindflowers.
12 April – 23 May 2027
Material Time II
Colour, Medium and Time
What happens when colour is considered not only as appearance, but as material?
Developing the second chapter of Material Time, the exhibition considers colour through pigment, medium, surface and process: how it is made, carried, altered, accumulated and preserved through time.
The works move between the possibilities inherent in materials, the changes they undergo and what survives those processes.
With works from Seán Cotter, Simon James, Brian Martin Brooks and invited artists.
31 May – 11 July 2027
Dolmen: Endurance
What allows something to endure?
A Berlin chapter of Adler & Moriarty’s ongoing Dolmen: Structures of Time investigation, bringing together works concerned with persistence, material memory, human trace and the structures through which things continue across changing conditions.
Endurance is considered not as permanence, but as a process in which matter, images and meaning may survive precisely by changing.
With works by Seán Cotter, Simon James, Peter Schäublin, Kaan Ege Önal, Mari Amman and invited positions.
19 July – 29 August 2027
Material Witness
What does progress leave behind?
Beginning with material-led investigations by Dana Westerhoff, Material Witness considers the physical evidence generated by systems of construction, production, technological development and supposed progress.
Residue, discarded material and transformed matter become witnesses to the processes that created them, and to the contradictions those processes may contain.
Dana Westerhoff with invited positions.
6 September – 17 October 2027
Between States
When does one thing become another?
Between States considers works in which material, image, identity or perception cannot be securely located within a single condition.
Rather than treating transformation simply as movement from one defined state to another, the exhibition focuses on the interval itself: moments in which several possibilities remain simultaneously present and categories become unstable.
Planned with selected A&M and invited artists including positions under development by Mari Amman, Simon James, Anis Tabaraee and invited positions.
25 October – 5 December 2027
The Judgement of Paris
Who decides what has value in art?
Beginning with the destruction of plaster casts and the questions raised by what is preserved, copied, valued or discarded, The Judgement of Paris is the first physical chapter of a developing Adler & Moriarty investigation into artistic judgement.
Through contemporary works and contextual material, the exhibition considers taste, quality, originality, reputation and authority, asking how judgements about art are formed and what happens when the information surrounding an artwork changes.
Participating artists to be announced.
An evolving programme
Adler & Moriarty’s curatorial investigations are designed to develop across different artists, places and forms of presentation.
The Berlin exhibitions form part of a wider programme encompassing gallery presentations, online investigations, international projects, art fairs, research, publishing and professional engagement.
Dates, participating artists and individual exhibition configurations may be refined as projects develop.
Adler & Moriarty is developing a permanent exhibition space in Berlin (Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf), opening in 2027.
The space is conceived to support concept-led exhibitions across physical and screen-based formats, extending the gallery’s curatorial approach into a dedicated environment.
Further details will be shared in due course.
