From major sculptural retrospectives to new contemporary art installations, here are three exhibitions to see in Berlin this March.
David Lynch at Pace Gallery (29 January – 29 March)
A presentation of works by filmmaker and visual artist David Lynch expresses the breadth of his practice beyond cinema. Bringing together paintings, sculptures, watercolours, photographs and short films, the exhibition celebrates the surreal visual language that runs through Lynch’s work. Created between the late 1990s and recent years, many of these works explore the uneasy atmospheres and dreamlike imagery associated with the artist’s films. Photographs taken in Berlin’s industrial spaces also appear in the show, reflecting Lynch’s fascination with decay, machinery and urban environments.

Constantin Brâncuși at Neue Nationalgalerie (20 March – 9 August)
More than 150 works by Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși arrive in Berlin in a major exhibition organised in collaboration with Centre Pompidou. Installed in the museum’s glass hall, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see key sculptures alongside reconstructions of the artist’s Paris studio environment. Brâncuși’s work transformed modern sculpture through its simplicity and refined forms. Iconic pieces such as The Kiss and Sleeping Muse reveal his search for the essential shape of things, reducing figures to smooth volumes that continue to influence contemporary sculpture even today.

Katja Strunz: Future Collapses, Past Rises at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (14 March – 3 May)
Berlin-based artist Katja Strunz presents a new installation that continues her exploration of memory and the shifting relationship between past and present. Working primarily with folded metal, collage and architectural fragments, Strunz creates sculptural forms that appear suspended between construction and collapse. Her works reference modernist structures and historical materials, reassembling them into precarious configurations.
