Miettinen Collection I Salon Dahlmann

Miettinen Collection I Salon Dahlmann The Salon Dahlmann is named after Hildegard Dahlmann, the last owner of the house. The building was acquired by the Miettinen family in 2010.

With the Salon Dahlmann, Timo Miettinen has established a link to Berlin’s salon culture tradition, which emerged not far from the Marburger 3, in the area of the Kurfürstendamm in West Berlin. The Salon presents an eclectic program including a range of different formats: exhibitions, concerts, performances, workshops and encounters of creative people and professionals in many fields. The institution is not just a space for cultural meetings and events: The entire house is devoted to the Arts. Annexed to the Salon is a private apartment – die Ferienwohnung – beautifully furnished, combining German and Finnish design. It hosts a selection of artworks from the Miettinen collection with changing arrangements in coordination with the temporary exhibitions in the Salon. For the entrance of the building, the Berlin based artist Björn Dahlem has created a permanent light installation entitled “Lokale Gruppe”. The courtyard of the house has recently been re-designed to accommodate a sculpture by Hans Arp, kindly provided by the Foundation Arp. Visitors are invited to join guided tours on Saturdays to visit the Salon, the private apartment and the yard.

OPEN NOW for Berlin Art Week

Dialogue — our exhibition in the main space on the 4th floor, with new works for Berlin Art Week.

Some affinities cannot be explained – only recognised.

Finland and East Asia share more than separates them across distance: a common stillness, an affinity for reduction, for gesture, for material as a carrier of meaning – an understanding that what is essential is rarely loud.

The Miettinen Collection has cultivated this sensibility from the beginning. Its affinity for East Asian art – for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese positions – is not a curatorial programme but a conviction.

At the centre stand four positions: Leiko Ikemura, Lee Ufan, Lee Bae, and Leena Luostarinen. Their works enter into an intense dialogue with each other and with the history of the collection.

SEWING is the sober, almost laconic title of the exhibition by sculptor and conceptual artist Hannah Hallermann (born 1982) at the Miettinen Collection. In her room-filling installation, she combines performance, archery, textiles, found objects and video to create a multi-layered work. The work shifts with every change of perspective — from a minimalist, magical or ritualistic space that one can enter as if it were an intimate stage, reminiscent of Patti Smith, through a kind of three-dimensional drawing in which elements of Dada and Constructivism resonate, and on to individual sculptures that might respond to Post-Minimalism, Fluxus and the feminist avant-garde.

Timo visited Plan X Gallery in Capri.

„giving in to temptation“, a work by Berlin based artist Lennart Grau now on view Plan X on Capri.
Lennart Grau draws on figures and gestures from the history of painting, transforming them through color and the movement of the surface. His works are also part of the Miettinen Collection.

The Blue Grotto has fascinated visitors for centuries. Known to the Romans and most likely used as an imperial nymphaeum, it later fell into obscurity and was surrounded by legends and superstition. In August 1826, the German artist and writer August Kopisch entered the grotto and described its extraordinary blue light to the world, helping to turn it into one of the defining images of Capri.

Exactly 200 years later, my article for WELT AM SONNTAG traces this remarkable story — from its Roman past and its rediscovery in 1826 to the way the Blue Grotto helped transform Capri into an international myth and a place of longing that continues to fascinate people around the world today.

The article is also available online.

I am particularly happy to share it with this wonderful painting by the Artist Anton Eduard Kieldrup, whose vision of Capri takes us back to the 19th century, when the island began to capture the European imagination.

The painting is part of the Capri Collection of Timo Miettinen — a collection that brings historical and contemporary visions of Capri into dialogue.

My special thanks to Timo Miettinen, not only for allowing me to share this remarkable work, but for his passion as a collector and for preserving and bringing back to Capri images that are part of the island’s cultural memory.

Sometimes an image painted more than a century ago and a story written today are looking for the very same thing: the enduring magic of Capri.

OPENING IN SEPTEMBER - BERLIN ART WEEK

We are thrilled to invite you to the opening of the Soloshow SEWING by Hannah Hallermann on the 9th of September from 17-20h.

SEWING is the sober, almost laconic title of the exhibition by sculptor and conceptual artist Hannah Hallermann (b. 1982) at the Miettinen Collection. In her room-filling installation, she combines sculpture, archery, textile works, and video into a multi-layered, ambivalent set-up. The work shifts changes in perspective—from a minimalist, magical, or meditative space that one can enter like an intimate stage, to a kind of three-dimensional drawing in which elements of Dada and Constructivism resonate, to individual sculptures that might respond to Post-Minimalism, Fluxus, and the feminist avant-garde.

We can’t wait to see you!
