onetoone – Art at the Røyal Bakery

Lisa Marie Steude

18.04. – 12.09.2026
Talk with Susanne Burmester, curator, and Lisa Marie Steude on 01.08.2026 at 5pm

Lisa Marie Steude explores the human relationship with architectural and social space. She creates sculptural objects that often incorporate sound or movement to bring the relationship she is investigating to life.

For her work in the Royal Bakery, Lisa Marie Steude has taken gluten as the starting point for her investigation – as an invisible bond that forms the framework holding the dough together. The artist makes this framework, or network, visible by having dough from the Royal Bakery imaged using a scanning electron microscope. She then works with these images on an enlarged scale, transferring the gluten framework of the specific dough onto the wall using screen printing in subdued colours.

“I want to view people in a multidimensional way, not just formally or physically, but also within their social environment, which shapes them and forms their perspective on the world.”

Angela Lubič

13.09.2025 – 28.03.2026
Talk with Götz Brakel, Theologe, and Angela Lubič on 28.03.2026 at 5 pm.

Angela Lubič lives and works in Berlin. She studied fine art at the Berlin University of the Arts and graduated as a master student. She has received numerous scholarships and Artist-in-Residence-grants for Hungary, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. Her works are represented in the collections of the Berlinische Galerie and the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett, among others.

Angela Lubič works site-specific. In her expansive installations, she uses lines that traverse, mark, connect and alter the perspective of the space. For her wall installation in the Royal Bakery, she draws inspiration from the ‘Stickenwagen’ trolleys commonly used in bakeries to store trays of dough or finished baked goods. The term ‘Sticken’, derived from the Low German/Dutch ‘Stikke’ meaning ‘stick, rod, frame’, refers equally to craft traditions and architectural structures. Lubič dissolves the contours of two such frames into a skeletal structure of lines, which she transfers directly onto the wall using black adhesive tape. Rotation, reduction and displacement create linear overlays that are also reminiscent of the shell of a high-rise building. A fragile and poetic framework of lines, whose illusory three-dimensionality unfolds again and again for the viewer in motion.

‘The line leaves the paper and creates spatial perspectives on the wall that evoke new angles and impossibilities.’

Holger Stark

29.03. – 30.08.2025
Talk with Dr. Kornelia Röder, art historian and curator, and Holger Stark on 14.06.2025 at 5 pm

Holger Stark, born in Rostock in 1960, has lived and worked in Klein Warin/ Mecklenburg since 2001. His artistic focus is on installations and photography, which he understands as a means of artistic articulation and a form of perceiving reality. He graduated from the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts in 1990 with a diploma in painting/graphics and went on to study at the Hamburg Academy of Art (90-91) and the Royal College of Art in London (93-94).

For his mural in the Røyal Bakery, Stark experimented in his studio with the rapidly changing mass of a ten-kilo yeast dough. He documented the metamorphosis of the initially soft and difficult to grasp mass, which he later managed to tame, in a series of photographs. On the art wall in the royal bakery, the artist displays a photo from this series, which captures the traces of the dough’s transformation, as a framed object.

“Practised holding my breath for a long time. Graze the seabed with my back and fix my eyes on the dented bottom of the life raft floating on the waves. That’s my work.”

Kati Gausmann

10.10.2024 – 08.02.2025
Talk about the project with Michael Köser, baker and owner of the kønigliche Backstube, and Kati Gausmann at the end of January 2025.

After 8 years and 24 exhibitions, the kønigliche Backstube closed in Berlin at the end of May 2024 and reopened in Wismar at the beginning of October. To say goodbye in Berlin, all previous one-to-one cards were moved to the art wall in the same place where they were taken from the original work.

This arrangement of cards will be shown as the first exhibition on the new art wall in Wismar, and as the 25th exhibition of the project.

Petra Lottje

20.01. – 06.04.2024
Talk by Patricia Löwe, freelance moderator and author, and Petra Lottje on 23.03.2024 at 5 pm

Petra Lottje works primarily in the media of drawing and video. In her exhibition at the Røyal Bakery, she shows drawings centred around a horse and people. Some of them have art historical references. They evoke memories and possibly nostalgia, bringing to life romantic notions of only apparently bygone working worlds.

“I search for expressions of timeless validity. In the bakery, I challenge myself and the viewer to question aspects of a romanticised beauty.”

Beate Terfloth

16.09. – 23.12.2023
Talk with Dr Alexander Hofmann, art historian and Japanologist, and Beate Terfloth on 28.10.2023 at 5 p.m.

Like the sweet porridge in the fairy tale, the dough transitions when it comes into contact with plaster. If you mould dough with plaster, these two fluid masses interact. Plaster becomes warm when it hardens and thus fires up the fluid process. At the specific moment when the plaster sets and hardens, the exact state of the dough is captured. This initially invisible, past snapshot emerges after it is knocked out of the mould. An 11-kilo dough common in the royal bakery was used.

“The mass shift forms a momentary plastic fine drawing that is given to me. A moment in the process of a metamorphosis, like the lines of the planet’s crust, like the lines in my hand.”

Käthe Kruse

13.05. – 02.09. 2023
Talk with Kati Gausmann, Curator of the project, and Käthe Kruse on June 24 at 5 pm.

Käthe Kruse, musician and artist, works with interweavings of music, texts, performance, video, strip and text painting, fabric and sewing pictures as well as room-filling installations. In her critically contemporary and at the same time poetic work, she develops new formats beyond conventional categories.

Her wall installation ‘gute Stube’, based on wallpaper, transforms the salesroom of the kønigliche Backstube into a living room where art has been present as object and conversation for generations.

“The bakery smells of fresh baked goods, which in turn are served in the good living room. From the royal bakery to the good parlour – place of welcome and place of spiritual and culinary delights!”

Juliane Laitzsch

14.01. – 29.04.2023
Talk with Ulrike Brand, musician, and Juliane Laitzsch on Februar 25 at 5 pm.

Juliane Laitzsch is a draughtswoman who deals with open, unfinished processes of seeing, thinking and producing. For Backstube, she has developed a series of drawings dealing with the fact that bread becomes sweet when chewed.

For the Røyal Bakery, Juliane Laitzsch has developed a series of drawings that deals with the fact that bread becomes sweet when chewed. Her starting point is a photograph of a salivary gland. With large-format watercolours that enlarge the photograph in four steps, she abandons herself to a working process in which the rhythms of chewing also resonate.

“How actually – with what resonances, feedbacks and rhythms – are we connected to the world?”

Julia Ziegler

27.08. – 24.12.2022
Talk with Christoph Peters, Writer, and Julia Ziegler on 29 October 2022 at 5 pm.

In the bakery, you can drink tea sitting by the window. On the art wall, Julia Ziegler now opens the view into another room, the tea room of the Shugakuin Imperial Villa in Kyoto. She lets the places merge, as if one could walk over, sit down on the tatamis and enjoy the tea there. Julia Ziegler has chosen a word as the title of her visual intervention that is itself a testimony to East-West encounters: with “Tirūmu”, the English “tearoom” has become native to Japanese.

“When viewing, connections always emerge, formally or in terms of content, between art and environment, even across times and cultures. Material and projection offer contradictory information. Perceiving can be experienced as constructing, orientation as decision, viewing as a stubborn, formative activity.”

Franz John

14.05. – 13.08 2022
Talk with Ulrich Enzensberger, Writer, and Franz John on 25 June 2022 at 5 pm.

The project one-to-one – Art at the Røyal Bakery has so far explored the use of the space as a bakery in numerous artistic murals. Through the project Viva Maria* by Franz John, the site-specific character is now directed for the first time to the wider environment – the house – and its intriguing up to now little-known history of use in the years after 1966: in the store premises to the right of today’s bakery, an illegal print shop was operated that produced leaflets, posters and publications of the “revolutionary movement” associated with the student movement that radicalised after 1967.

This operation had to happen in the underground not only because of the content of those subversive writings; according to Allied law, no printing presses at all were allowed to operate in West Berlin without official permission. The printing press, a Rotaprint, belonged to the so-called “Subversive Action”, a sub-grouping of the Socialist German Student League (SDS), which Rudi Dutschke was head of the movement. The Neukölln print shop was a secret, camouflaged place rented by a resident of Zwiestädter Straße 10, Dieter Kunzelmann, under pseudonym “Kurnitzky”. Kunzelmann was one of the leading activists of the 1968 movement and co-founder of Kommune I.

Franz John now makes the history of the place comprehensible: A confidential report by the political police from April 1967 documents investigations at Zwiestädter Straße 10 and observations by some inspector Böhme. This archival document, which takes up the entire exhibition wall, is accompanied by a listening station. Here you can hear a talk with Ulrich Enzensberger, once a founding member of Kommune I, who knew the illegal print shop and the activities of the time well. This conversation, conducted by Franz John, provides insights and interesting details about the history of the sight and Berlin contemporary history in late 1960s.
