The Academy of Arts at Pariser Platz invites you to a reading and discussion on 22 November 2018 at 7 p.m. on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Unification of Academy of Arts in the East and West of Berlin. In Heiner Müller’s view, it was “not a love marriage, but a marriage of convenience”: 25 years ago, the artistic communities in both parts of Germany united to form an all-German Academy of the Arts. The State Treaty on the Academy of the Arts, supported by Berlin and Brandenburg, was signed on 20 September 1993. From today’s point of view, what seems self-evident was the result of a heated debate within and outside the artists’ society. The two-year-long academy dispute grew into an ideological substitute debate about reunification. The two presidents Walter Jens and Heiner Müller contributed significantly to the success. Despite different intentions, they maintained their goal of an independent and autonomous Academy of the Arts and found a self-determined path in which artists from East and West came together. Academy of Arts at Pariser Platz, 2016 The merger of the two archives in East and West went rather smoothly, albeit not without losses. As early as […]

until 12.01. | #2282ARTatBerlin | ALEXANDER OCHS PRIVATE shows from 23rd November 2018 the solo exhibition SOMETHING ALREADY EXISTS by the Berlin artist and Composer Chris Newman. Chris Newman straddles worlds as an artist with no qualms about engaging with all types of media. He describes himself as “more of an intermediary”: he is not so much interested in the final product, but in art as a process that still retains its open and dynamic nature. His work relies on the intensity of personal expression and on an artistic immediacy that is directly related to life itself; to his life, which provides him with a template for being human. Newman wants to free art from artifice and return to the core of perception: he is not preoccupied with the integrity of the medium, of painting or music, of style or art history. Instead, he wants the perception itself to become concrete. The work of art is a catalyst for an existential experience of life. Despite this impression of immediacy, however, the high proportion of compositional considerations in his works should not be underestimated. Chris Newman, o.T. (13/17), 2018, Gesso und Acryl auf Leinwand, 150 x 120 cm After completing his Bachelor of Music at […]

26.01. | #2271ARTatBerlin | Sexauer Gallery shows from 22nd November 2018 the solo exhibition METABOLICA by the artist Thomas Feuerstein.  For his exhibition METABOLICA at SEXAUER Thomas Feuerstein will create an autonomous art world. He carbonizes Algae hydrothermally in a pressure reactor – a processual sculpture which is in the exhibition – manufactured for this specific purpose. He uses the coal he extracts to make charcoal pencils, which in turn he uses to create the drawings for the exhibition. This procedure also has an economic element: if Feuerstein no longer has algae, he can no longer draw. All resources are finite in his autonomous art world. In another example Feuerstein irradiates a Haematococcus pluvialis (in german: blood-rain algae) – also cultivated in a sculpture – on a picture surface with ultraviolet light. Eventually, the green alga turns red, dries, and finds its final state in the picture BLUTREGEN (blood rain). Using biological and chemical processes, Feuerstein thus creates an art world of captivating but also irritating beauty. Thomas Feuerstein works experimentally and universally. He refers to cultural history, philosophy, literature, natural science, economics and current scientific discourses as well as religions and science fiction. He links ancient Greek thought with the postmodern world, always bringing […]

until 12.01. | #2272ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kornfeld + 68 projects show from 23rd November 2018 the exhibition Life Casting by the bronze caster Marc Krepp – his life’s work with sculptor’s from the 20th and 21st century.  Galerie Kornfeld, in cooperation with 68projects, is pleased to present within the two gallery spaces an exhibition of rare works by well-known, predominantly German sculptor’s from the 20th and 21st century. This exhibition celebrates the Berlin based bronze caster Marc Krepp and his life’s work with these artists. The objects of the exhibition Lebensguss (“Life Casting”) | Marc Krepp were created without exception in the studio of Marc Krepp. The studio was founded by Krepp in the early 1980s in Berlin-Weissensee, and he continues to lead it to this day, exemplifying ceaseless creativity. Following a family tradition which emanates from his father, the sculptor Siegfried Krepp, and which is also currently being furthered by his daughter Michéle. Artists including Wieland Förster, Will Lammert, Theodor Balden, Trak Wendisch and Rolf Szymanski, as well as younger and recent positions such as Alexander Polzin, Susanne Roewer and Tamara Kvesitadze, participant at the Venice Biennale 2007/2011, have created masterpieces of contemporary sculpture in close and fruitful cooperation with the founder […]

until 22.12. | #2270ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery shows from 14th November 2018 the exhibition Half Flying by the artist Yassine Balbzioui. Mysterious masked figures and creatures appear from shadowy backgrounds as if walking in from another universe or time. Yassine Balbzioui invites the viewer into the world of the in-between, the point where reality and the imagination meet. In this space, anything is possible, be it birds dressed in suits or the state of Half Flying. The Moroccan-based artist’s debut exhibition at the Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin presents a new body of work that challenges all distinctions. Balbzioui’s work is typically theatrical, humorous and multilayered. Drawing on his own experience of performance, Balbzioui imagines scenes cinematically and often photographs subjects wearing masks and costumes. These images form the catalyst for an idea, eventually emerging as the curious characters we see in the artist’s paintings. Furthermore, the deliberate obscuring of identity opens up a multitude of possible narratives and associations. We might, for example, interpret the wearing of a mask as an act of hiding or deceit, or as a declaration of freedom in which the individual transcends the boundaries of their physicality to experiment with new ways of being. Thus, […]

until 22.12. | #2269ARTatBerlin | Bermel von Luxburg Gallery shows from 15th November 2018 the solo exhibition Malerei von 1984 bis 2018 by the artist Peter Herrmann. At 81 years of age, Peter Herrmann is a living book whose pages are dense with print. Peter Herrmann is a wonderful storyteller. He speaks with a voice that exudes tranquillity and warmth. This voice is both audible in conversation with his friends, but also silently permeates his paintings. The stories told by his pictures frequently focus on everyday experiences expressed with a humorous twist and are imbued with a sincerity that is both direct and genuine. He is a thoroughly down to earth individual; both he and his art are absolutely authentic. The frequently used cliché of the artist as a social outcast certainly does not apply in the least to Peter Herrmann. Peter Herrmann inspires us to view familiar, everyday objects or situations from a different perspective – in doing so, we pay them more attention than usual, no longer take them for granted and see them in a fresh new light. In fact, his coffee machine and ashtray paintings remind me of Jasper Johns’ “Two Beer Cans” from 1960. Here […]

This exhibition centers on the human figure and the way it is evoked in contemporary painting. Five artists with different backgrounds present works that imagine and (de-)form the human figure, or present otherwise allusions to the body.

until 12.01. | #2266ARTatBerlin | Daniel Marzona currently presents the solo exhibition lasting embers by the artist Jörg Gelbke. Against the background of an ever-faster rotating art world, which propagates the latest trends almost weekly to praise the grandeur of something even more new tomorrow, the slowness and perseverance inherent in the work of Jörg Gelbke seems strangely anachronistic. On the one hand, this may be because the artist was already interested in traditional casting techniques during his studies, which still characterize the processes involved in the production of his work. On the other hand, the temporality of the processes that lead to the sculptural results plays a decisive role in constituting their meaning. As George Didi-Hubermann points out in his book “Similarity and Touch”, the casting process in modern art history has long been associated with two supposed flaws. On the one hand, the casting technique does not produce anything original, since it is essentially based on the blind imprint of already existing ones, and secondly, the casting-based forms can also be repeated in identical form in order to undermine the ideal of the original even further. In his work, Jörg Gelbke makes both alleged defects of tradition surprisingly productive. For the […]

until 01.12. | #2259ARTatBerlin | CAMERA WORK presents since the 20th October 2018 a Exhibition by the artist, environmentalist, polar explorer and extreme sportsman Sebastian Copeland. The gallery CAMERA WORK is pleased to present an exhibition of the photo artist, environmentalist, polar explorer and extreme sportsman Sebastian Copeland from 20 October 2018. The exhibition includes more than 30 works from his oeuvre, including impressive large-format photographs. »Helping people fall in love with their world, is a catalyst for wanting to save it.« – Sebastian Copeland With his work, Sebastian Copeland does not just pursue the intention to show the beauty of nature. Rather, it is his goal to enter into dialogue with the viewer and to encourage him to question the origin of the represented natural objects and the connection with the human being. The artist functionalizes the camera as an extension of his gaze and his experiences on the expeditions – as a means of communication to work out the sublimity, meaning and transience of nature and raise the threat of climate change from an abstract to a concrete danger. The exhibition shows photographs of a distant natural space that dissolves. In doing so, Sebastian Copeland works mainly out the […]

until 17.11. | #2258ARTatBerlin | Philipp Haverkampf Galerie currently shows the Solo Exhibition SUPERMAN RETURNS WITH SWIMMERS by the painter Katherine Bradford. Bradford ‘s paintings have their roots in abstract, gestural painting. Little by little fguration found it’s way into her work. A current new aspect, is the size of her subjects; her work was formerly populated by mainly smaller fgures. Nowadays, larger shapes are often positioned prominently on the canvas. These fgures do hold the paintings‘ composition.The fgures themselves are striking patches of colour, which structure the image and merge it in unity: blazing magenta next to a night-sky blue, and warm yellow next to a burly red come together to embody fresh and spherical paintings. Standing in the tradition of abstract expressionism and color feld painting, Bradford’s paintings, flled with fgures and set in motion, are reminiscent of works by Mark Rothko or Barnett Newman. They also evoke the light-fooded rooms of a James Turrell, brought to the screen, in which her protagonists capture the stage of the scene and perform peculiar choreographies. Radical self-empowerment, superhero(ines), compassion and social cohesion are the cornerstones that make up Bradford’s fantastical world. At the same time feelings of foreboding, isolation and […]

until 29.11. | #2230ARTatBerlin | Galerie Schwind currently presents a solo exhibition with new paintings by the artist Markus Matthias Krüger. At the start of Kunstherbst, Gallery Schwind Berlin is opening an exhibition on September 29, 2018 at 3 pm with new works by the Leipzig artist Markus Matthias Krüger. Krüger is completely committed to the landscape. People do not appear on his paintings, but are constantly present in the leftover civilization relics, deserted architecture and domesticated nature. By reducing the pictorial elements to their basic geometric basic forms, the mathematically rigorously constructed perspectives and the endless repetition of motifs, such as straw bales of trees or bricks, the infinite is finally made visible. More and more, the observer gains the impression that the landscape is used by the artist as an intensive field of experimentation for the exploration of form and color, in which he carefully arranges his pictorial forms and the classification into a pure landscape painting is no longer quite suitable. In the tension between old-masterly-fine-painter precision and modern clarity of his compositions Krüger justifies a reinterpretation of the genre and its role as a renewer of contemporary landscape painting. Markus Matthias Krüger, 35 Strohballen, 2018, Acrylic and […]

until 03.11. | #2201ARTatBerlin | ZWINGER Galerie currently shows the solo exhibition E-Werk by the artist Kerstin Drechsel. Painting, sculpture, design, installation and BJD-Trash come together in Kerstin Drechsel‘s latest artistic production. The result is mobile batteries or transformers of a different kind, charged with queerness and feminist verve. Courtesy of ZWINGER Galerie – Kerstin Drechsel Mice swinging Neanderthal women, megaphones like breasts (or vice versa), remnants of an organ-shaped mother’s temple, but also pretty blue-and-white patterns that are reminiscent of old English porcelain painting can be discovered. Some fits in with the ornament and covers the inside and outside surfaces of the boxes and boxes in the same wallpaper. Lid and doors can be opened and open the view to tableaux, to exemplary interiors that could serve as strange dollhouses. Everything is hybrid. A picture is a furniture is a room. And in this could live Aunt Lix whose story can only be learned through the oral narration of the artist.

until 17.11. | #2248ARTatBerlin | Galerie Wagner + Partner currently shows the exhibition Portrait Extended – Six Positions to Our Self with works of the artists Alexandra Baumgartner, Nezaket Ekici, Emel Geris, Csilla Klenyánski, Soline Krug and Natascha Stellmach. Triggered by our hypermodern lifestyle, questions about the individual production of meaning become compulsory. At the same time old traditional contexts of meaning, patterns of interpretation, landmarks are dissolved, they merge into each other and are different / new. Often, only the means of self-assurance seem certain. A look into the social media shows how this is structured: The pursuit of uniqueness as an expression of the respective individual personality is characterized by a constant search for meaning and identity, attributes that are associated with certain fashion and sports trends, music and art exhibitions , the choice of the right food – we meanwhile “curate” everything that comes under our noses; Everything ultimately succumbs to this ideal of the supposedly self-determined. But to what extent is this ideal a fallacy? In the group exhibition Portrait Extended the artists take into account the search for identity, image and origin. To what extent are we self-determined or externally determined? How much power does […]

until 30.11. | #2254ARTatBerlin | galerie1214 shows from 10th November 2018 the solo exhibition The Garden of Forking Paths by the Berlin-based Brazilian painter Isabelle Borges. GALERIE1214 presents Berlin-based Brazilian painter Isabelle Borges in a solo exhibition. With her decisive position for an abstraction, that feeds on experiences in the practical world, she has been following a consistent project of artistic research for many years. The experience of growing up in the drawingboard-city Brasilia, was for Borges the starting point of her explorations of spaces. The resulting sensitization by a rationalistic-modernist city planning and architecture allowed her to develop important motives of her work. Her interests expanded into the exploration of general patterns of spatial organization throughout nature. In her work, Borges seeks to find the nexus between the poetic, the intuitive, and the analytic, revealing to the patient observer the metaphysical dimensions of reality. Painting means for her delving deeper into what cannot be described neither by sociology (the big narrations) nor by mathematics alone. Correspondingly, Borges’ objects, wall paintings and paintings continue to develop surprising qualities: when two color surfaces differ in delicate nuances and unity becomes diversity; when an object causes its surroundings to glow with luminous reflected color; […]

until 22.12. |#2250ARTatBerlin | Stella A. shows from 19th October 2018 the Group Exhibition AMPLE FOOD FOR STUPID THOUGHT featuring works by Joseph Beuys, George Brecht, Marcel Duchamp, Robert Filliou, Ludwig Gosewitz, Alison Knowles, Takako Saito, Tomas Schmit, Jiri Valoch et al. AMPLE FOOD FOR STUPID THOUGHT[1] Once upon a time …” could be the fabulous beginning of an article on an art epoch when artists were turning towards the insignificant and every day life. What is meant, is the time of Fluxus-Art. When it began and when it came to an end or if it ended at all, is disputed. Whether it is or was a movement comparable to the Dada movement for example, is also undecided. It is even unclear which artists belonged or belong to Fluxus. „Maciunas was the only one who had a concrete idea of what Fluxus meant, but I am very much for leaving it uncertain. I much prefer each doing what he wants to do. .. nobody can say who or what Fluxus is. I find this nice.“[2] Besides the spectacular actions, concerts and performances of the Fluxus-artists there is a more quiet side of Fluxus which is easily overlooked and overheard. For more than 50 years […]

until 17.11. | #2249ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin shows from 18th October 2018 the solo exhibition Malafonte by the artist Nicola Samorì. Nicola Samorì’s human figures are frozen in fear. Their faces are darkened by a large abstract segment, a sinister source, a “poisoned well” coming from within the centre of the works: the “mala fonte”. Framing the cavity, the figures are stricken with dismay, their translucent bodies are festered. A tempest appears to have dissolved them. The “mala fonte” is an unknown disaster, an erosion, a tragedy that can’t be explained, something intangible. It is a mental composition, Samorì’s works rely on: The feeling that fear is dominating our lives. Malafonte, Nicola Samorì’s first solo exhibition at Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin, is influenced by an artistic period during which the emotional expression of fear has been ubiquitous. Between 1520 and 1600, the artists of Mannerism directly coped with tragedies such as Sacco di Roma, a violent depredation of the city of Rome. Works like Il serpente di bronzo by the Fiorentine artist Agnolo Bronzino were influenced by the pain the artist experienced. Fear was a condition of Mannerism. To Samorì, we are living in Manneristic times again. It […]

until 01.12. | #2247ARTatBerlin| Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung shows from 19th October 2018 the exhibition Erzeichnen featuring works by various artists. The drawing is the most carefree and free medium with the most versatile possibilities and the greatest economy. At the same time, the recorded is restrained, has a penchant for the seemingly unspectacular. With superficial consideration one does not get further here. A few lines, lines on the piece of paper are enough to open up a specific space of perception that is unfinished in itself. In the drawing, the “thinking hand” is formulated (Henri Focillon, 1934). Digressive, analytical, practicing, resistant, incessant, abstracting, pure, realistic thinking seeks expression with the pen on the empty space of a surface. That moves. Realization: Michael Glasmeier, Christian Schiebe Maso Finiguerra, „Study of two hands, one drawing“, about 1460, pen in brown, grey-brown wash, 5.9 x 4.3 cm The exhibition shows artworks by the following artists: Sandra Boeschenstein, Zürich Friederike Feldmann, Berlin Ulrike Grossarth, Dresden Hanna Hennenkemper, Berlin Friederike Klotz, Berlin Katharina Meldner, Berlin Nanne Meyer, Berlin Christian Orendt, Nürnberg Peter Radelfinger, Zürich Alexander Roob, Düsseldorf Christian Schiebe, Braunschweig Hanns Schimansky, Berlin Andreas Seltzer, Berlin Vernissage: Friday, 19th October 2018, 7 – […]

until 17.11. | #2242ARTatBerlin | 68 projects presents from 24th October 2018 the solo exhibition Clocks Deep In Us by the New York Painter Yevgeniya Baras. The world of fantasy often serves as an escape from reality and its many social, economic and physical limitations. Reality, on the other hand, is often considered desirable in the midst of the illusions of fantasy. However, the two can not always be strictly separated. The paintings by Yevgeniya Baras are porous objects that blur the line between the fantastic and the real and soften the barriers of all stable areas. In these works of art, located between object and image, the material leads a life of its own. Jute, wool, tire rubber, fabric, stones and wood are often physically attached to the surface of the painting and at the same time integrated into it, making it a part of the sitter. Baras’s works refer to seemingly ancient codes that both confirm and refute their narratives. As soon as one thinks to recognize a pattern, it is immediately undermined by repetition and transformation. It is never really attached to a symbol, so that one could ascribe a fixed meaning to it. Untitled, Öl auf Leinwand, 2018, […]
