The BPA// Exhibition 2025 brings together new works by ten emerging Berlin-based artists developed over the course of their two-year participation in BPA// Berlin program for artists.
BPA// Berlin program for artists is an independent mentoring program founded in 2016 by Angela Bulloch, Simon Denny, and Willem de Rooij. It supports intergenerational exchange between young and established artists through mutual studio visits, public events, and collaborative exhibition formats. Since 2020, BPA// has partnered closely with KW Institute for Contemporary Art, presenting its annual exhibition within the institution’s program.
The exhibition serves as a platform for a new generation of artists working in Berlin, whose practices reflect and challenge both personal and societal transformation. At the same time, it highlights the value of sustained dialogue, shared structures, and long-term mentorship in enabling meaningful artistic development.
