The Carl Kruse Arts Blog invites all to a private tour of the exhibition “It’s A Balance Trick” to take place September 13, 2026 starting at 4 p.m. at the Kommunale Gallery at Hohenzollerndamm 176 in the Charlottenburg neighborhood of Berlin.
The exhibition’s curator Norbert Wiesneth will guide us through the exhibition and several of the artists will also join, sharing insights into the exhibit and inviting you to join them in conversation
“It’s A Balance Trick” explores the fragile moment of balance through a multidisciplinary approach. The act of balancing is explored across a broad artistic spectrum from social, physical, and ecological perspectives and is reflected in the exhibition’s fluid concept: While some elements remain static, others gradually shift their position, extend into the urban space, or are only made complete through audience participation.

Although the still moment of equilibrium is a symbol of tranquility, it is based on the constant balancing of various forces. Sometimes equilibrium is achieved almost effortlessly; other times, it is the result of coordination and dialogue. Balance is considered an ideal, especially in a democratic society. The organic approach of “It’s A Balance Trick” mimics this balancing act; it remains in motion, evolves, weighs different forces against one another, and constantly creates new moments of equilibrium and coexistence.
The event is free of charge. Complimentary wine will be served.
The event is limited to 20 people and an RSVP to carl@alumni.princeton.edu is essential.
We meet at the entrance at around 3:50 pm. The tour will be around 45 -60 min.
