Ahu Dural: Malplaquetstraße 33 - Jugend einer Monteurin

In spring 2026, Galerie Wedding will present the solo exhibition “Malplaquetstraße 33 – Jugend einer Monteurin” by Ahu Dural.

The exhibition takes an apartment as the starting point for an artistic exploration of family history, migration, work, female solidarity, and appropriation.

Here, assembly appears not only as a manual task performed by migrant women working on a piecework basis in Berlin’s electronics industry, but also as an aesthetic process and principle: Durals’ sculptures consist of basic forms—often made of wood or industrial aluminum strips—that are assembled and combined with photographs, textiles, or everyday objects. Assembly becomes a method of appropriation and a form of thinking. Personal memory, photographic detail, and architectural reference overlap. Color, too, becomes an important vehicle for memory and a connecting element between narrative, image, and object.

“Malplaquetstraße 33 – Jugend einer Monteurin” is an exhibition about arrival and work, about migrant life worlds, about industrial rhythms and domestic ways of life, about memory as a fragmentary, assembled process.

Hours: Monday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Admission is free.

Runtime: Fri, 27/02/2026 to Sun, 10/05/2026
