Before the official opening of its new KUNSTHALLE on the 18th April 2013, Deutsche Bank is inviting artists and art enthusiasts under the slogan MAKE ART to display their work for 24 hours at the new Kunsthalle in Berlin-Mitte. All consigned paintings, works on paper and photographs will be curated to a wall-sized presentation by René Block and will be presented to the public in a 24-hour exhibition over the 8th and 9th of April 2013.
Friedhelm Hütte, head of the art department at Deutsche Bank, sums up the project: “Whether you’re an art student, amateur painter or photographer – we are asking for artwork that we can hang on the wall. We are calling all artists and art enthusiasts to bring in one of their pieces between the 5th and 7th of April to Charlotte Street 37/38 in Berlin-Mitte, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. The sooner we receive the piece of work, the greater the chance of it gaining a place on the wall.”

As well as the opportunity of showing your work in the new Kunsthalle, Deutsche Bank is awarding two audience prizes and a jury prize. The Audience Award will be decided during the 24-hour show on the 8th/9th April. The visitors will decide on the best artist, who will then receive one year’s studio residency and a subsidy of 500 euros per month. In addition there will be a Jury Prize awarded to three other artists, who will each receive a two-week solo exhibition in the studio of the Deutsche Bank Kunsthalle. Also during the initial 24-hour show, visitors will have the chance of winning one of 100 year passes to the Kunsthalle in an organized raffle.
Christofer Habig, Global Head of Brand Communications and Corporate Citizenship at Deutsche Bank: “The KunstHalle will be a really unusual new art gallery for Berlin in many respects. It will be global, open and experimental – and above all create new connections. This really suits the concept of the two openings on the 8th/9th and 18th of April 2013.”
