Enda O’Donoghue is one of 46 artists showing in Unpeeled, a group exhibition in London in Spetember 2026

Forty-six painters. Forty-six ways of making. One exhibition.
Unpeeled is the first London exhibition by painter painter, a collective of 46 artists formed through the Turps Banana Correspondence Course 2025/26, one of the UK’s leading independent painting programmes. Developed through a year of critical dialogue and exchange, the exhibition presents new work by painters at different stages of their careers, each with their own approach. As a collective, painter painter is shaped by conversation as much as by individual studio practice. Rather than proposing a single theme or aesthetic, Unpeeled embraces plurality, creating space for diverse ways of making, visual thinking and looking. The exhibition takes place at Downstairs at The Department Store in Brixton, London, an award-winning redevelopment by architects Squire & Partners. Originally built in 1906 as an annexe to Bon Marché, the restored Brixton landmark now houses a thriving community of artists, designers, makers and creative practitioners, providing a fitting setting for an exhibition grounded in dialogue, experimentation and contemporary studio practice.

A benefit exhibition in support of the Kunstverein Neukölln e.V.

Following the success of last year’s benefit exhibition, which greatly helped to secure the future of the Kunstverein’s exhibition space, Kunstverein Neukölln has once again launched an open call. This year’s edition appears under the title Horizonte, aligning with the annual theme “Landscape.”

From Neukölln, countless horizons can be seen — as many as there are people and perspectives. People from all over the world live here and bring their own viewpoints, while Neukölln residents travel widely for holidays, work or personal reasons. The district is shaped by a multitude of horizons: some close to home, others extending across the globe. And in the imagination, entirely new horizons emerge, opening up new worlds and new ways of seeing.

The idea of the horizon also connects naturally to landscape and the landscape format. A wide view offers orientation and suggests openness. And at the horizon we look for the break of day — a place where hope begins.

Over this past year, I participated in the latest iteration of TELEPHONE. This is a game played by artists worldwide that works like the children’s game of the same name. A message is passed from person to person and changes and evolves as it is passed. In this case, we pass a secret message from art form to art form, so a message could become poetry and then painting and then music and then film, throughout all possible forms of art.

This is the third game of TELEPHONE. The first game, was published in 2015 and consisted of 315 artists and can be found HERE. That first game was featured in The New York Times and you can read that article HERE.
The second game of TELEPHONE was played during the pandemic and published in 2021. It consisted of work by 795 artists and can be found HERE.
I also took part in that second game, and my entry https://phonebook.gallery/artists/enda-odonoghue from that round was a response to a piece of music from a composer based in New Orleans.

For this most recent game of Telephone, I was given a poem to respond to, entitled “Hawk in the Shadow of a Sycamore”. In response to the ideas in the poem I made a painting of ivy on a graffiti-covered wall by the river where I walk by daily. I then brought that painting back to the wall by the river, hung it there by the ivy, rephotographed it and left the painting there, for someone to find. It stayed there for a few days, unnoticed. Then it vanished… I thought maybe it ended up in the river or something like that….

Weeks later, I received an email and a photo from someone who signed themselves simply as M. They found the painting and gave it a new home.

There will be coffee and homemade cakes, a food truck with delicious empanadas and ceviche, pisco sour and other drinks. We will also design banners together to make our values ​​visible.

In a capital that is in constant change and upheaval, it is reassuring to find one constant. The Atelierhaus Mengerzeile is one such place that has contributed to the Berlin art scene for over 30 years – despite all odds.

In 1993, a group of artists moved into the former piano factory on the strip of the Wall between Alt-Treptow and Neukölln. Productive years followed – the Mengerzeile studio house officially established itself as an artists’ association and created a lively new art space with thirty studios, the Kunsthalle m3 gallery, an international guest studio and the Amiga Club. As Berlin gentrified, this space was also in danger of disappearing. In 2018 – thanks to continued efforts on our part, long-term negotiations with the Berlin Senate, the Treptow district office, etc., as well as cooperation with the new owner – the existence of the studio house was secured in the long term. The public Berlin media also stood by our side here. There are currently 36 artists working in the studio house from various fields such as painting, sculpture, conceptual art, film, photography and design. This mélange of international creatives, their diverse positions, philosophies and perspectives, also represents the resistant moments that art can show in order to oppose repression.

We find it particularly exciting to exhibit in the neurotitan gallery in Haus Schwarzenberg – an art oasis that, similar to the old Viennese coffee houses, has asserted itself as an important place of debate and artistic exchange in Berlin Mitte for three decades. The exhibition also shows that such evolved art spaces must remain intact in order to work creatively with these changes – or in Bowie’s words – “turn and face the strange…” changes.

Artists:
Paul Barnett, Mariele Bergmann, Ulrike Bernard, Mark Braun, Claudia Brieske, Patrick Brunken, Clemens Brunner, Alex Demes, Zeno Gries, Ane-martha Hansgärd, Juliane Henrich, Katja Hommel, Clara Joris, Max Kerkhoff, Karin Kerkmann, Karsten Krause, Michelle Lloyd, Marta Marcé, Jens Martens, Nanne Meyer, Eva Noack, Enda O’Donoghue, Ilona Ottenbreit, Haleh Redjaian, Mirae Kh Rhee, Cameron Rudd, Margit Schild, Annette Schmidt, Hildegard Skowasch, Margund Smolka, Ona Tav, Thomas Tuchel, Alexander Wagner, Andreas Walther, Eva Am Winnersbach, Marianne Wirries

In 1993, a group of artists moved into the former piano factory on the Wall Strip between Alt-Treptow and Neukölln.

Since then, Berlin has changed, the neighborhood has changed, the composition of the house has changed and we have changed. The Atelierhaus Mengerzeile Association, has however, been preserved as a place of creativity – despite all adversity.

And we would like to celebrate that!

This is because the Mengerzeile’s story is a stroke of luck in Berlin studio house history. In 2018, after longstanding efforts and in cooperation with the new owner of the building, the existence of the studio house was secured in the long term. Currently 38 artists from various fields such as painting, sculpture, conceptual art, film, photography and design are working in the Mengerzeile studios. The Atelierhaus Mengerzeile manages all work within the house itself – its goal is to maintain a constant offer of affordable studios. In addition, the association focuses on the promotion of art and cultural infrastructure, especially in the Alt-Treptow district, as well as hosting a platform for artists’ exchange.

For many Berlin artists it is almost impossible today to find an affordable work space in a central location. The Atelierhaus Mengerzeile demonstrates that – despite the building of new residential quarters on the premises of the Atelierhaus – creative work spaces could
still be preserved. It was a tough struggle that took several years. Through the commitment and perseverance of the association’s members and their allies, an agreement was finally reached with the new owner – and a lease for the next two decades procured.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of moving into the house. On this occasion, we want to look back while also looking forward . In this anniversary year a series of exhibitions

with former house artists has been ongoing in the Kunstraum m3. A documentary exhibition about the history of the house is due to start in the autumn. Also planned are a series of talks, in which not only the Berlin studio house decline, but in particular the rescue of studio buildings will be discussed in detail. Finally in September there will be a big party with music, dancing and performance art! The “Open Studios” day offers an insight into our current artistic work. We are very much looking forward to interacting and celebrating with friends, helpers and art enthusiasts as well as members of both old and new neighborhoods.

InFormat is a collaboration of 8 international painters, based in and around Berlin. Each of the InFormat shows has one common denominator – it focuses on a particular “format”. The group has been convening since 2013 to create new work and collectively install the resulting exhibition. The only stipulations are the specific format and its dimensions, predetermined several months in advance. Previous shows have included the Square, the Triptych, the Panorama, the Frieze and the Tondo formats. In “MINIATURA”, InFormat’s sixth exhibition, the group will engage the challenges and possibilities offered by the extremely small-scale composition.

Artists: Paul Barnett (NZ), Nicole Heinzel (UK/GER), Michelle Lloyd (IRL), Ivan Lacaze (FRA), Karla Marchesi (AUS), Enda O’Donoghue (IRL), Cameron Rudd (UK) and Alex Tennigkeit (GER).

Very happy to have some work included in this exhibition curated by Dermot Browne the exhibition Travels in Hyper Reality, and brings together the works of eight Visual Artists around the ideas of travel, altered realities, and a range of making practices including collage, weaving, painting, photography and print.

The featured artists are Gavin Hogg, Helen Cantwell, Johnny Bugler, Izabela Szczutkowska, Helen O’Shea, Enda O’Donoghue, Andrew Carroll, and Tom Doig.

_________________________________

The title of the show comes from a book and essay published by Umberto Eco in 1975, which throws up ambiguous warnings of the threats of the then still new technology of Holography suggesting that it “satisfies the most ambitious ambitions of photorealism”.

Art, and image making in general, have always had uneasy relationships with their counterparts issuing from the world of technology, and here we are, at the dawn of (if you believe it), a new revolution in image making and creativity, this time led by A.I.

The “Hyper Reality” that these artists lead us into instead is one of embodied practices, mediated through chosen materials and engaged time. From Izabela Szczutkowska’s collaged photographic representations of her two homes; (Poland and Ireland), and the recurrent themes of palm trees and beach-like spaces in Johnny Bugler’s works, the sorts of travel that only art can allow are strong here.

The type of multi-layered “Hyper Reality” that we each carry around with us in our mobile devices is suggested in Gavin Hogg’s two monumental wall pieces. Visual language is in overload here and we must travel with it or lose ourselves.

As some of us will remember when C.D’s were still a new thing, the “death of vinyl records” was announced triumphantly, yet who could have predicted that artists and musicians would then go and play two records together? And with each of the artists represented here, you will find that uniquely human ability to bring two (or more) diverse elements together to create a new reality, a new window into our selves.

Where images and made objects meet well conceived ideas and processes, a space is born for us to travel in.
