Pilote

pilote brings together the work of ten Berlin-based artists who share a strong critical and conceptual engagement.

Presenting independent artistic positions that share a strong critical and conceptual engagement, the works are presented to the public through an exhibition program that also invites guest artists and curators to work directly with the artists in the development of thematically based exhibitions. pilote’s public program occupies spaces temporarily in a conscious effort to shift the fixed gallery

model. Artists:
ATTILIO TONO
BETTY BÖHM
CARLA MERCEDES HIHN
CATHERINE ROSE EVANS
CLAIRE LAUDE
DANA ENGFER
KATHRIN GANSER
SARAH STRASSMANN

Decade x Dialogue with Stefanie Loveday

Opening April 29th 2026, 7pm

Performance by Betty Böhm & Stefanie Loveday
at 7.30pm

Sound performance, 30 minutes, dimensions variable
Rocks, core samples, wood, plants, salt, ice, field recordings, electronics, microphones, modular synthesiser

In their first collaborative sound performance, Stefanie Loveday and Betty Böhm explore and manipulate both audible and inaudible worlds of sound and frequency. What at first seems paradoxical is made possible by special microphones that can convert vibrations into sound and make electromagnetic radiation audible.

The artists draw on a vast archive of field recordings they have made in a wide variety of locations around the world, such as forests, glaciers, lakes, and mountains. Throughout the performance, they contrast these natural soundscapes with the hidden world of artificial, human-generated electromagnetic radiation - which comes, in a sense, as a byproduct of every electronic and digital device and plays a tangible role in shaping our environment. Böhm and Loveday take us on a playful journey that uses sound to reveal the profound impact humans have had on our ecosystem.

Decade x Dialogue with Selket Chlupka

Opening April 29th 2026, 7pm
at Kunstquartier Bethanien/ Projektraum

🛸
The work auf grund gehen brings together photographic fragments, objects, and spatial arrangements into an open constellation. Photography functions here less as representation than as a means of displacement: light, surface, and framing produce images that resist clear classification, thereby pointing to the instability of what becomes visible.
Forms shift between proximity and distance, between corporeality and landscape, without settling into fixed meanings.

auf grund gehen understands perception as a process: an ongoing negotiation between light, material, and gaze. The work does not offer definitive interpretations, but instead opens a space in which seeing itself becomes the subject.

Selket Chlupka studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart from 2002 to 2009. In 2009, she received a DAAD scholarship to pursue an MA in Fine Art in London. She was an artist-in-residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris (2015), at the Parc Saint Léger Centre d’art contemporain (2016), and at the Embassy of Foreign Artists in Geneva (2017).

Decade x Dialogue with Charlotte Bastian

Opening April 29th 2026, 7pm
at Kunstquartier Bethanien/ Projektraum

🛸
Charlotte Bastian composes new landscape spaces from photographs taken at different times and places, creating cut-and-paste collages and stereoscopic spatial image montages.
Using multiple motifs photographed by the artist herself, she creates scenarios of temporal disjunction and spatial indeterminacy. Bastian’s interest lies in transience and in the traces of human impact during the Anthropocene. Spatial vision, enabled by the stereoscope, conveys an almost immersive sense of being within these strange yet familiar landscapes.

Charlotte Bastian, born in Berlin, studied fine arts at the University of the Arts Berlin, at the University of Seville and at the Art Institute of Chicago. She received a Meisterschüler (‚master pupil‘) at the Udk Berlin. In addition to study trips to South America and the USA, she was artist in residence in Norway, Iceland and Argentina. Her works have been presented in numerous exhibitions including Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin; Torrance Art Museum, Los Angeles; at Tiger Strikes Asteroids, New York and Chicago; SCOTTY, Berlin; at Devening Projects, Chicago; Huuto Galeria, Helsinki; Campbell Works, London.

Decade x Dialogue with Betty Böhm

Opening April 29th 2026, 7pm
at Kunstquartier Bethanien/ Projektraum

🪄
The multi-channel video installation Trying to burn the past (in four stages) was created on a frozen lake over four distinct sessions.
It depicts an inner image, a reflection of the liminal state in which we find ourselves politically, socially, as a global community and, often, personally.
A world of multiple crises, where, in the vacuum between the old and the new, outdated constructs swell into monstrous proportions before they have to perish.
Trying to burn the past captures a state of limbo-the moment between destruction and possibility, between what was and what has not yet taken shape.
And is an homage to the fire’s purifying, transformational power, which seems to burn gently yet determined - almost tenderly, forever.

Betty Böhm studied at the AdBK Stuttgart and at San Francisco State University.
From 2020 till 2022 she held a lectureship at Uk Berlin.
Her work has been shown nationally and internationally and has received various grants and awards, including from Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn, the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe and the Baden-Württemberg State Foundation as well as Residency grants, most recently at Künstlerhaus Lukas, Ahrenshoop and upcoming (May 2026) at Haus Bergfriede, Bad Gastein - Culterim Residencies. Further she recently won the 1st Prize for Art in Architecture - Schuldrehscheibe Werneuchener Wiese, Berlin.

Decade x Dialogue with Kathrin Ganserganser

Opening April 29th 2026, 7pm
at Kunstquartier Bethanien/ Projektraum

🌬️
Kathrin Ganser is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of photography, digital media, text and installation. Her practice investigates how images construct space and shape perception within today’s networked visual culture. A central aspect of her work is the transformation of digital imagery into physical objects and sculptural configurations. Ganser translates unstable, technically generated image material into precise spatial forms that reveal the hidden infrastructures.
Ganser explores questions of authorship, the notion of „photography without a camera,“ and the ways algorithmic systems shape visual perception.
Spatial imagery thus becomes both subject and method.

Ganser received a Ph.D. (Fine Arts) from Bauhaus University Weimar. Her work has been widely exhibited internationally in solo and group shows in museums, institutions, and galleries. She is the recipient of major grants and awards including Stiftung Kunstfonds. Her work was recently shown at Kunstverein Villa Heike in Berlin (2025).

Digitale Ruinen / Digital Ruins (since 2018)
Her work ‚Digital Ruins‘ examines questions of perception, digital aesthetics and exemplifies this approach into material structures. In addition to location and perception within a technologised space, her works address the transformation relationships of space and temporality. She usually works site-specifically and develops her works within the context of exhibition spaces.

Decade x Dialogue with Antonia Breme

Opening April 29th 2026
at Kunstquartier Bethanien/ Projektraum

V (Virtus), 2021 Originally conceived as a custom-made window display for the research-based fashion label Weather Underground to showcase their biodegradable rain capes, V (Virtus) references its original function as a display unit, yet—detached from the products—it achieves sculptural autonomy. In this field of tension, the sculptural process becomes evident in the transformation of the material, revealing sculptural qualities such as tension, weight, and softness, thus enabling a sculptural experience beyond the function of product presentation.  The title of the work (borrowed from a Versace handbag collection) refers to the naming of products in commercial contexts and the emotional dimension thereby created, which aims to shape perceptions of value and desire. V (Virtus) thus opens up a space to reflect on the construction of desire through sculptural forms and the handling of materials.

Within her artistic practice, Antonia Breme explores strategies for generating sensuality, desire, and emotion, as they are often employed in commercial display contexts. She develops sculptures and installations that challenge our perception and question how value and desire are being constructed through forms of (re-)presentation.
Antonia Breme studied Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam, and completed her master’s degree at the Institute for Art in Context, University of the Arts, Berlin. She received several grants and has participated in artist residencies, most recently in Istanbul as part of the cultural exchange scholarship in association with Depo. Her work has been shown internationally, including in Berlin, Istanbul, Tokyo, and Amsterdam.

Decade x Dialogue with Prinz Gholam

Opening April 29th 2026, 7pm
at Kunstquartier Bethanien/ Projektraum

🌬️
Since 2017 collecting stones is an activity strongly linked with our performance practice. Our awareness towards other beyond-the-human organisms has grown. There lies the attention we give to stone formations and especially how our anatomy corresponds to the morphology of stones, as much as our gaze is informed by our pre-existing socialisation with geologic formations. Our beings are dependent on socio-natural forces.

Miniaturising a head or face, its singularity and individuality correspond to human beings. Many miniature effigies remind us of pre-historic artistic expressions, of the primordial need to represent the human face. They have eyes, noses, and mouths.

Wolfgang Prinz was born in 1969 in Leutkirch, Germany. Michel Gholam was born 1963 in Beirut, Lebanon.
Prinz Gholam have developed an artistic practice based on pertormative and collaborative processes that result in live performances, videos, and installations incorporating drawings, and objects. Their work is an ongoing attempt to reactivate, relocate, and negotiate the self and the body between their cultural constructs and the world in which we live.

Decade x Dialogue with Dana
Engfer

Opening April 29th 2026, 7pm
at Kunstquartier Bethanien/ Projektraum

🛸
Hnattferðir is a multimedia work based on the book Hnattferðir - a treatise on interplanetary space travel written by Ary Sternfeld in the late 1950s, Engfer discovered in an Icelandic antiquarian bookshop.
Enriching the book with own analogue photographs, the artist expands and overwrites the historical object with personal experiences, layering and interweaving dimensions of time and space.
Among them are historical photographs taken by Icelandic photographers of the 19th and 20th centuries, discovered in the archive of the Reykjavik Museum of Photography. Onto these images, Engfer places abandoned snail shells, letting their growth layers become spirals of memory, allowing them to enter into relation with the captured subjects.

Dana Engfer studied fine arts at Udk Berlin University of the Arts, at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris with Christian Boltanski and at Iceland University of the Arts in Reykjavik, graduating as a Master Student at University of the Arts Berlin in 2007. After completing her studies she received the studio scholarship from the Karl Hofer Society / Friends of the Udk.
Her work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally.
Since 2021 she is Co-Founder of the independent publishing house Schnecken Publishing.
