As the official opening event to the Pictoplasma Conference, the Character Walk is a guided tour through over 30 galleries and project spaces in Berlin, showcasing different positions of artists working in the genre of reduced figuration.
The exhibitions include the wooden figures of the Argentinean artist Juan Pablo Cambariere, a media installation by Swiss designer François Chalet and new paintings by Dutch multi-talent Fons Schiedon. Additionally, performances and installations in nightclubs and other venues in Berlin celebrate the “Characters in Rhythm.”
