Pop-up art show takes over German president's residence before yearslong renovation

A pop-up art show titled "Freiraum Kunst" (Free Art Space) is opening at Germany's Bellevue Palace in Berlin before the presidential residence closes for an eight-year renovation. Organized by the Academy of Arts, the exhibition features contemporary works including video, audio installations, photography, and oil paintings by artists such as Katharina Grosse, Wolfgang Tillmans, Monica Bonvicini, and El Bocho. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier welcomed the initiative, stating that democracy needs free art. The show opens to the public on Friday and runs until June 28, with free tickets available online—demand was so high that the booking website crashed shortly after going live.
