Art Center Berlin Friedrichstrasse and art place berlin

At the beginning of 2005, Tyllack was commissioned to establish a forum for fine arts in Friedrichstrasse 134, a representative, 6-story new building opposite the Friedrichstadtpalast . On June 8, 2005, the then Senator for Education, Volker Hassemer, opened the Art Center Berlin Friedrichstrasse with a speech . For the first exhibition that the founding managing director Tyllack had organized in the Art Center on more than 2,000 m² of exhibition space, the curator Rolf Külz-Mackenzie combined the stylistic diversity of contemporary art under the title Reflections . Nine Berlin galleries participated with exhibits, including works by Yoko Ono , Nam June Paik , Tony Cragg , Elvira Bach and 30 other renowned artists.

Tyllack was managing director until the Art Center Berlin Friedrichstrasse was closed in 2010. During the five and a half years of exhibiting at the Art Center Berlin Friedrichstrasse, he organized more than 100 exhibitions, often as a curator. Almost the entire spectrum of contemporary art was represented, from avant-garde video art to classic oil painting. The exhibitions showed contemporary positions by artists from various regions and cultures around the world. At times, Tyllack also placed the focus on cultural references, for example at exhibitions on the Aboriginal art of Australia or aspects of the culture of Tunisia and Oman, to name a few.

After more than two years of preparation, the exhibition in 2009 showed oil paintings by the Chinese artist Jiang Guo Fang under the title Pictures from the Forbidden City , curated by Tyllack.

In 2009, Tyllack initiated art place berlin as part of a cooperation with the Park Inn on Alexanderplatz as a platform for the high-profile presentation of contemporary art. In the first exhibition, from June 2009, there were sheets from the graphic portfolio Federico García Lorca . Since then, the exhibitions have offered more than 30,000 guests and visitors the opportunity to encounter contemporary art, especially painting, graphics and increasingly photography. Past exhibitions have shown photo art by Michael A. Russ as well as documentary photographs by Steve McCurry , Vanessa Winship, Paolo Pellegrin , Eric Bouvet, Christopher Morris, Harry Gruyaert, Rena Effendi, Anthony Suau and others. a. m.

With the joint exhibition project Art from Pyongyang Korea , an official exhibition of North Korean art in western countries was shown for the first time in 2008 at the Art Center Berlin.

In 2010, Tyllack initiated the Delphic Art Movie Award , a short film competition for documentaries about arts and cultures with a focus on the preservation of cultural heritage and contemporary art.
