Berlin Art Week 2025: AAS:ArchitectureArtObjectsColours

During Berlin Art Week in September 2025, Blēo was proud to contribute to AS:ArchitectureArtObjectsColours (AAS:AAOC) — a multidisciplinary exhibition staged in the iconic Eternithaus in Hansaviertel, Berlin.

Curated by Gonzalez Haase AAS in collaboration with Fulds Eternithaus, Galerie Thomas Fischer, Marbledworks, New Tendency, Analog and Blēo, the exhibition brought together art, architecture and design in a setting that deliberately moved beyond the conventions of the white cube.

The ground floor of the 1957 Paul Baumgarten building became an open, fluid framework for presentation — its glass façades allowing works to exist in dialogue with light, transparency and the surrounding city. Minimal, mirrored interventions reduced the exhibition architecture to near immateriality, while the garden was reimagined as a sculptural landscape.

On view were Gonzalez Haase AAS’s objects shown alongside seminal works by Brian O’Doherty, presented by Galerie Thomas Fischer, including Negative Siege (1970) and Dot Drawing (1972). Collaborations unfolded throughout: Marbledworks with stone-based objects, New Tendency with a family of stools and tables, Analog with glass lighting.

Blēo’s contribution was metal pavilions painted in blue colours from the Metropolitan Melange palette — an exploration of how surface and hue can shape the experience of space and object. In dialogue with architecture and design, the work extended the exhibition’s inquiry into the material and immaterial qualities of perception.

By situating contemporary works within Baumgarten’s post-war architecture, the exhibition offered a layered perspective on space, history and material. For Blēo, participation was an opportunity to contribute to Berlin Art Week with a focus on colour as both medium and message — and to take part in an international conversation on the future of art and design.
