The Kunstraum Potsdam opens ARTEFACTS, an exhibition by the artist duo Magdalena Wysocka and Claudio Pogo, on Saturday 21 November 2026 at 4pm. The venue is part of the Schiffbauergasse cultural quarter on the Tiefer See, a short tram ride from Potsdam's main station, and an easy afternoon trip from Berlin.
Wysocka and Pogo have worked as a pair since 2016. They take images made for other purposes, from old books, scientific publications and archives, rework them and print them in large format on canvas. A plate from a natural history book or a laboratory photo becomes something you look at the way you would look at a painting.
What to expect
The opening is the first chance to see the exhibition, which then runs from 22 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. The Waschhaus next door, which runs the Kunstraum, is also a club and concert venue, so the quarter stays busy into the evening. A 4pm start leaves daylight for a walk along the lake before or after.
