Workshop

Public Print Movement goes Publik Machen

12.09.2026
03:00 PM - 05:00 PM

In this workshop series, participants will collaborate with artist Katharina Marszewski to create their own artist’s book for each of the five exhibitions in the ifa series *Publik Machen*. Selected motifs will be transferred through screen printing and bound into a leporello. The result is a series of unique book objects that deepen the engagement with the artworks and the artists.

The screen-printing process itself becomes the starting point for collective exploration and reflection: How can materiality, reproduction, chance, and sensory experience be made tangible through the medium of screen printing? How does our perspective on a work of art change when it is printed, reproduced, and transferred to a different medium?

Katharina Marszewski

Katharina Marszewski (*1980 in Warsaw, lives and works in Berlin) is an artist and founder of Printmodé Editionen. In her practice, she connects (sub)cultural aspects of serigraphy with situational, action-based sessions to reveal the cycle of coded visual languages.

The exhibition Courage is part of the ifa’s exhibition series Publik Machen. Across six chapters, the exhibition explores the work of the Center for Art Exhibitions of the GDR (ZfK), whose graphic arts collection was transferred to the ifa in 1991. The project is a collaboration with the Kunsthaus Dresden and the ifa Gallery Berlin, Biesdorf Palace, KVOST, the Prater Gallery, and the Galerie im Turm.

The exhibition is supported by the Fund for Exhibition Grants for Visual Artists of the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.
