With the Young, Fresh, Different (YFD) format, Zilberman has been promoting emerging artists at its Istanbul location since 2010. The exhibition aims to give young artists more visibility in the art scene and to open a dialogue between them and a gallery. This year, YFD will take place at Zilberman | Berlin and Zilberman | Miami for the first time. The artists for the 1st edition of Zilberman | Berlin's open call series are: Danilo Andrés, Elisa Jule Braun, Yuni (Hoa Yun) Chung, Abie Franklin, Pavlos Ioannides, Lukas Liese, Luka Naujoks, Marlies Pahlenberg, Leniko Sennoma, Ryke Turin, and Zhiyuan Yang. You say I have unlimited potential. I disagree, is dedicated to the subject of potentiality. The title questions, in a gesture of resistance, the presumed premise of an allegedly limitless potential that extends to different areas of life, such as work or health. Within the realm of art, potentiality initially manifests itself as a driving force, a dynamic energy that drives creative exploration and innovation: In their search for new talent, gallerists and collectors weigh up the potential of emerging artists. New, unusual places and spaces for art are discovered, created and expanded. Artists explore the potentials of different materials and test the boundaries of traditional art genres. But they don't stop there; they also work with what is perceived as having no potential – the unusable, the forgotten, the overlooked – and constantly renegotiate what that means.
