KW and BPA// Berlin program for artists founded their partnership in 2020. BPA// Berlin program for artists is a mentoring program that fosters exchange between emerging and established Berlin artists. Founded in 2016 by Angela Bulloch, Simon Denny, and Willem de Rooij, BPA// organizes studio visits, public lectures, and group exhibitions. For the first time KW serves as a venue for the BPA// exhibition, an annual exhibition of work produced over the course of the current BPA// program.
