On May 10 and 11, Patch Point Gallery, a new space for contemporary art with a focus on sound, will open its doors in Berlin-Kreuzberg. With its inaugural exhibition, the gallery launches as a platform dedicated to sonic exploration and artistic exchange.
The opening weekend will feature a selection of internationally recognized and emerging artists presenting new work across various formats — including installations, concerts, artist talks, and hands-on experiences with experimental music instruments. Participating artists include Robert Lippok (Germany), Cammack Lindsey (Germany), Gijs Gieskes (Netherlands), Takako (JP), World Gang (INT), and Ciat-Lonbarde (USA).
Patch Point Gallery is an extension of the original studio and workshop of the same name, where over the past eight years, artists and makers have developed and built experimental electronic instruments. The gallery offers a more focused venue for presentation and conversation, providing space for both established and emerging voices in sound art and music.
About the artists:
Gijs Gieskes is an industrial-designer/artist from the Netherlands specializing in the design of electronic devices, for audiovisual use. His instruments are inspired by creative intuition and naivety.
Robert Lippok has been testing art’s outermost edges for over four decades. His background at the costume department of the German State Opera in Berlin, the studies at the School of Art and Design Berlin-Weissensee, and the pioneering band projects Ornament und Verbrechen (1983) and To Rococo Rot (1995 – 2014) informed a transversal practice spanning from music composition, visual art, stage design, performance and costume design.
Cammack Lindsey is a Berlin-based artist who combines complex oppression networks to embody collective resistance by investigating scientific and historical relics of failures from extractive capitalism. This intent is often explored through collaboration with cyanobacteria, micro-algae, code, the voice, sound and the materialization of colours, magic, ghosts and clouds.
Worldgang's "Tape Tipi" is a structural tape loop installation in the shape of a tipi (a cone shaped tent) that invites you to enter sonic shelter. The Tape Tipi is a generative music machine: It will never play the same song twice. The Tipi is comprised of 8 tape loops joined together at the top by 1 wobbly ring: any movement, catch or slip is rippled throughout the structure.
Peter Blasser is an artist and instrument designer known for his work under the 'Ciat-Lonbarde' umbrella.
Takako is a Japanese, Berlin-based DJ, and producer who uses an unbound creativity rooted in rave culture aesthetics with noise spirit.
