July 6–August 31, 2025

Artists: Daniela Kneip Velescu, Songhak Ky, Mila Panić
Associate Researcher/Curator: Sarnt Utamachote

The location of Kunst Raum Mitte is characterized by the former division of the city of Berlin, the ongoing displacement of residents, and speculation around future uses of its space. DISLOCATIONS 2025 takes up these spatial dimensions programmatically, dedicating itself to different forms of localization and dislocation. As the second sequence of the annual program, within reach focuses on (post-)migrant environments and relates them to the history of the exhibition venue as well as its surroundings and interior. While the history of the former galerie weisser elefant is primarily told along the lines of East-West migrations within Germany due to its foundation in the late GDR, the exhibition traces post-Soviet, Southeast European, and transcontinental lines of connection.

The works of Daniela Kneip Velescu, Songhak Ky, and Mila Panić create in-between spaces characterized by the everyday experience of migration. These works locate themselves in the moment of transition, marking and subverting national, historical, and geopolitical borders. The installations tell biographical stories as intertwined processes in which different places form a fragmented understanding of home, both incorporating and opposing common narratives. The accompanying archival presentation features invitations that have been exhibited by the gallery since the 1990s, drawing attention to who was included—and who was excluded. within reach thus questions the invisible connections that make places both accessible and yet intangible.
