For the first time, the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin will introduce the recipients of the Villa
Romana Fellowship. The exhibition will feature new paintings, installations and videos by Dani Gal,
Julia Schmidt, Aslı Sungu and Clemens von Wedemeyer. The Villa Romana Fellowship, awarded
to exceptional young talents since 1905, includes a stipend and a residency program, allowing
fellows to live and work for ten months in the artists’ house in Florence. This art prize is not just the
oldest in Germany, but it also represents Deutsche Bank's longest cultural commitment. The
presentation at the Deutsche Guggenheim marks a new milestone in the institution’s partnership
with the arts, while also continuing the series of exhibitions conceived by Deutsche Bank within its
joint venture with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.
Freisteller was curated by Angelika
Stepken, Director of the Villa Romana. The fellows were selected by the Berlin artist Ayse Erkmen
and the art historian Beatrice von Bismarck from Leipzig.
