With »Ofrenda Gráfica« (roughly translated as »graphic offering«), artist Xavier Scherenberg brings together the works of various international artists: many of them have roots in Oaxaca in central Mexico, while others come from Berlin, Switzerland, Poland, Japan, or Thailand.
The theme of the exhibition deals with the »Día de los Muertos« (Day of the Dead), which has long been of cultural significance in Mexico.

Many of the artists have known each other for more than twenty years from various collaborations in Oaxaca. Studios such as the Taller des Artes Plásticas Rufino Tamayo (Oaxaca), Bethanien Kunst Quartier (Berlin), and the Druckgraphik Atelier have brought them together repeatedly over the years at various times.

This exhibition has special significance for Xavier Scherenberg: his connection to Berlin’s art printing scene began in 2016 at the Druckgraphik Atelier. He developed an artistic and friendly relationship with the studio’s then operator, Eberhard Hartwig, which culminated in an exhibition of his work in Oaxaca (2017) and a joint exhibition in Berlin (2018), among other things. Nine years later, this exhibition brings things full circle for Xavier, while also marking the beginning of a new chapter.

Xavier sees the central theme of this exhibition, »Día de los Muertos«, as a tribute not only to those who have already passed away, but also to all the places that welcome us and allow us to create new memories. In this sense, all the friendships and collaborative works that have emerged along these shared paths and memories also being honored.
