Since its foundation until today NGBK has established an ongoing discussion about time, place, media, and the representation and construction of history and reality, starting 1970 with NGBK's first exhibition, a programmatic show about John Heartfield and his famous montage practice, entirely displayed in the public sphere on subway billboards. In 1977 Valie Export's work has been on view in Berlin for the first time in the feminist NGBK show called Frauen International at Orangerie Charlottenburg. 

 

Since the early 1980s, RealismusStudio of NGBK has been interested in critical approaches to reality in art, especially artists who use new media, video, film and computer-based technology for their explorations. This lead to exhibitions, installations and out-door projects with Valie Export, Yoko Ono and many others.
 

Selected Artists, the Senate Award (Arbeitsstipendium Bildende Kunst des Landes Berlin) for Berlin-based artists, is an annual exhibition presented by RealismusStudio. Exhibiting artists include Egill Sæbjörnsson, Heimo Lattner, Karolin Meunier, Johannes Paul Raether, Maja Bajevic and Amir Fattal. Their cross-media works blend music, drawings, painting, projections, new media, video, DIY and found-footage into an uncanny universe of protagonists. The counter-utopic works suggest escapism while opening up unsuspected levels of perception and representation.
