A virus is crippling the economy: aid packages, a reduction in VAT, scrappage schemes, the state as the major shareholder – everything is being put to the test to get consumer society moving. But does it really make sense and is it right and proper to fully revive the economy in all areas once the pandemic has been overcome? Isn’t the “spaceship Earth” (Buckminster Fuller 1968) long since on a threatening collision course? The planetary limits of growth have been exceeded and ecological problems such as climate change and species extinction are the great challenges of the present. Wouldn’t now be a good time to raise public awareness of the criticism of growth and make more of the old credo “less is more” than an aesthetic lifestyle of the better-off? Is it possible to develop a language for rethinking in art? Read the article further on DEEDS.WORLD   Image caption: Courtesy of Kasseler Kunstverein

Martin-Gropius-Bau presents from 10th July 2020 the exhibition “There’s No Such Thing as Solid Ground” by the artist Otobong Nkanga. The complex and shifting relationship between humans, land, and corresponding structures of repair is a central premise of Otobong Nkanga’s exhibition at the Gropius Bau titled There’s No Such Thing as Solid Ground. Addressing global systems of exploitation and extraction, her work turns a poetic and critical eye toward the circulation of people, flora and fauna as well as natural resources, especially minerals. Nkanga understands the notion of ‘land’ as a geological and discursive formation that extends beyond soil, mapped territories and earth. It is a terrain on which ecological, economic, political and social forces are caught up in rhythms of conflict and negotiation. A place, where we as humans struggle to find solutions through gestures of innovation, redistribution and cohabitation. Based on intensive research and the weaving together of mediums, including installation, performance, drawing, poetry and storytelling, Nkanga’s work spans the temporality of colonial regimes and the global networks operative ‘beneath the surface’ and acting on living bodies. There’s No Such Thing as Solid Ground presents a series of durational installations and performance works, alongside a new wall drawing and multi-channel sound […]

until 01.09. | #2787ARTatBerlin | Luisa Catucci Gallery presents from 25 July 2020 the exhibition SEMITA LUMINIS with works by Matteo Lucca and Maurizio L’Altrella, curated by ISORROPIA HOMEGALLERY. When half way through the journey of our life I found that I was in a gloomy wood, because the path which led aright was lost. And ah, how hard it is to say just what this wild and rough and stubborn woodland was, the very thought of which renews my fear! So bitter ’t is, that death is little worse; but of the good to treat which there I found, I ’ll speak of what I else discovered there – Dante Alighieri Divina Commedia, Inferno, Canto I The exhibition SEMITA LUMINIS curated by ISORROPIA HOMEGALLERY at Luisa Catucci Gallery in Berlin, presents the work of the Italian painter Maurizio L’Altrella and the Italian sculptor Matteo Lucca. In Latin “Semita Luminis” means Path of Light, intended both physical and metaphysical. Being both L’Altrella and Lucca strongly fascinated by archaic spiritual philosophies, the death-life cycle and its bond with sensuality, sexuality, and fertility – not as mere human necessities, but as philosophical concepts ruling the whole existence – the exhibition displays a […]

until 22.08. | #2780ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin currently presents the exhibition local talent with contributions by artists living and working in Berlin from different generations and backgrounds, curated by Thomas Demand. Amid the uncertainty of the past six months of the coronavirus pandemic, one thing is clear: Everything has changed, including for artists. Plans have been canceled, exhibitions indefinitely postponed, some will never reopen. Daily life, largely limited to home or studio, has become compressed, and no one can escape the consequences of this withdrawal. Despite the anxieties and disruptions, artists have reacted to their altered circumstances and continue to move forward—albeit with a shift in attitude regarding their work. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present local talent, an exhibition curated by artist Thomas Demand that features over twenty Berlin-based artists and presents varied responses to the repercussions of our current situation. Installation view, local talent, curated by Thomas Demand, Sprüth Magers, Berlin, July 4–August 22, 2020, VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2020, Photography: Timo Ohler, Courtesy Sprüth Magers The selected works, by artists from several generations and diverse nationalities and backgrounds, have either been created in the last few months, or they constitute past works or concepts […]

until 29.08. | #2801ARTatBerlin | aquabitArt Galerie presents from August 6th, 2020 the group show 4:1 – 4 artists, 1 location with works by the artists Yasmin Sharabi, Ali Dowlatshahi, Mohamed Alaabar alias Leon D. and Patrick Molony Harris. The exhibition is curated by Frances Stafford. Four extraordinary artists with varying backgrounds are connected by one commonality: they either currently live and practice their art in Bahrain, or have worked on projects on the island and created art during that time. Curator Frances Stafford, who also built her career in the country, shows introspective drawings, visionary paintings, collaged photographs as well as paper collages and studies – within the intimate gallery setting in Auguststraße 35, 10119 Berlin. The small but beautiful gallery space in the heart of Berlin will be separated into two main rooms, where the artworks will be presented to the audience until the end of the month. The artists: Ali Dowlatshahi was born in Tehran, Iran in 1976, and moved to Heidelberg, Germany in 1986 following the Iranian revolution. He studied Industrial Design at the University of the Arts (UdK), Berlin until 2005. Since 2003, Dowlatshahi has been working as a freelance designer in Berlin. He specializes […]

until 05.09. | #2798ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kornfeld presents from 13th August 2020 the group show Common Ground with works by the artists Hiba Alansari, Tewa Barnosa and Wael Toubaji. Hiba Alansari, Tewa Barnosa and Wael Toubaji – Laureates of the exhibition and mentor-programme “A Journey of Belonging Part II” which took place at Bikini Haus Berlin in the spring of 2019, organised by the Contemporary Arts Alliance Berlin (CAA Berlin). Following their participation, each artist has permanently moved to Berlin, having at the time found themselves inbetween cities, countries and identities. Berlin now becomes their “Common Ground“ and their explorations of identity and individual and collective narratives a shared discourse and investigation within their works. Hiba Alansari’s performance piece “Balance” explores the human body and its relationship to protest in the pursuit of balance. Her body moves around on a curved iron base, stabilising against the speed of physical and psychological variables. After 10 years of various forms of protests in Syria, she finds herself fluctuating between two worlds, the physically dwindling past and the volatile present. Tewa Barnosa explores the theme of silent protest through material communication. She considers how objects become parts of our history and serve as […]

until 22.08. | #2797ARTatBerlin | Michael Reid currently shows the solo exhibition As surprising as life with collages by the artist Lucy Dyson. Lucy Dyson’s intricate handcrafted collages are recognised for their compelling and unique narratives, often underpinned with a light-hearted and colourful sense of humour. Also a talented animator, Lucy says: “Ever since I was a child I have always made collages, cutting up old encyclopaedias – and family photographs! I never consciously decided on animation or collage; they have always gone hand-in-hand for me. The subversive nature of collage has always appealed to my sense of humour: making new worlds, escapism, being left alone to work out ideas that fail when I try to put them down in words.” Lucy Dyson, Sleeping Snail/ Schlafende Schnecke, 2020, found images, paper collage, 24 x 22 cm, mounted on 30 x 30 cm acid free archival paper This new body of work is selling fast, with half of the exhibition acquired before opening. Lucy Dyson is a Berlin-based Australian artist, animator and award-winning music-video director who had her debut solo exhibition at Michael Reid Berlin in January 2019. To date, she has directed and produced over fifty music videos for clients […]

bis 29.08. | #2794ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts presents from 30th July 2020 the exhibition  Leaky Keyholes with works by the artist Werner Büttner. When Werner Büttner became a professor at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg, after a long night of drinking and reciting poetry with Franz Erhard Walther he had business cards printed with the enigmatic job title “Professor für Unterhaltung der Art” (Professor for the Entertainment of the Species). During an afternoon spent together at the artist’s studio in Geeshacht, a small town on the Elbe distinguished only by Alfred Nobel’s invention of dynamite and the densest population of nightingales in Northern Germany, I learned first-hand that Büttner is indeed a consummate entertainer. Neither bombastic nor particularly light-hearted, qualities typical of showmanship, he instead exudes a performative mildness—a genteel deadpan manner that is echoed in the unsettling, often bleak world that his recent canvases depict. Each painting in his exhibition Undichte Schlüssellöcher (Leaky Keyholes) at Contemporary Fine Arts proposes a self-contained universe and on first glance it can be challenging to chart any real connection between the assembled works. Those looking for clear, straightforward messages will not find them here: a painting of a plague doctor hangs alongside canvases that portray a bottle […]

until 02.10. | #2793ARTatBerlin | re|space gallery presents the exhibition All is Flux with sculptures by the artist Lorenz Friedrich and paintings by the artist Christo Daskaltsis from 3rd August 2020. In their juxtaposition, the works explore the relationship between perception and reality. The title All is Flux is taken from the early Greek philosopher Heraclitus’ meditations on knowledge and flux. Though the interpretation of Heraclitus’ doctrines has been much disputed, the idea of there being no stably existing objects with stably enduring qualities is a provocative standpoint from which this exhibition approaches the resonance between Daskaltsis’ and Friedrichs’ works. Though different in medium and style, the works by the two artists are paralleled in their exploration of perception and the influence or absence of the artist’s hand. In their co-habitation of the exhibition space in the re|space gallery, the paintings by Daskaltsis and the sculptures by Friedrich ignite a discussion on perception and reality. The true nature of the works are in flux as they are dependent on the perspective and associations of the viewer. In addition, the element of time influences the works in that the interplay of light and shadow has a transformative effect on both Daskaltsis’ […]

until 22.08. | #2790ARTatBerlin  | Galerie Eigenheim presents from Friday, 24th July 2020 at the salon drawing, video and installation by the artist Timo Herbst. Timo Herbst examines patterns in the flows of movement that inform the contexts in which we live. In his research he focuses on various cultural, social and political situations, from which he isolates existing configurations of movements in order to sequence them and ultimately to transform them. The series „Make yourself an organ“ contains 32 drawings whose arrangement refers to the form of a horizontal tree diagram used by Carl von Linné to determine the animal and plant species in his binomial nomenclature. The draw-ings integrate text – either quotes from the artist’s research or from his own writings – so that the depiction of motions in the image series approaches the formal techniques of scientific drawings, which typically include textual annotation. But in this case, the movements depicted in the drawing seem to question their assigned position. In a perceptive way the texts echoe this challenge by dealing with personal self-assessment and actualisation in a constantly changing environment and society. The video installations „Rhythmanalysis“ mixes film sequences, in which Timo Herbst deals with the […]

until 22.08. | #2789ARTatBerlin  | Galerie Eigenheim presents from Friday, 24th July 2020 the solo show LOOKING UP with paintings, drawings, reliefs and sculptures by the artist Stefan Schiek. Stefan Schiek was a 2019 scholarship holder of the Free State of Thuringia. After his final presentation on this scholarship, the Eigenheim Gallery is now showing the second part of the exhibition in Berlin over the summer months to provide a further insight into the artist’s extensive oeuvre. You can now read an excerpt from the catalogue published in conjunction with the grant from Susanne Knorr, curator of Kunstmuseen Erfurt. „(…) In his current paintings, drawings, reliefs and sculptures, which move between figuration (Looking up! series) and abstraction (Warscapes complex, Unfold series) and possess great visual appeal, the artist, born in 1976 Ulm, leads us into seemingly extraterrestrial realms, at least into a future narrative era. This is suggested by the subjects, which are presented in a concise pictorial language, only in excerpts: unidentifiable spaces for action, indeterminable surfaces as well as indefinable flying objects, round or angular, which float through space or penetrate it at high speed (the effective use of extreme diagonals suggests high speed). Situations with or without […]

until 31.07. | #2786ARTatBerlin | aquabitArt presents from 16 July 2020 on the occasion of the gallery’s 11th anniversary the group exhibition PAPER REALITY with eight artists from the gallery.

until 04.10. | #2782ARTatBerlin | Haus am Waldsee shows from 18th July 2020 the exhibition Revolutions of Choice of the architect duo Frank Barkow and Regine Leibinger. In a loose sequence, the Haus am Waldsee as a place of contemporary visual art also presents international architects who maintain their offices in Berlin. With GRAFT (2012), Haus-Rucker-Co (2015) and J.MAYER.H (2016), leading architectural artists were presented who also have their roots in the USA through study and teaching. In the summer of 2020, Haus am Waldsee will be dedicated to the American-German architect duo Frank Barkow (*1957) and Regine Leibinger (*1963), whose work has been able to develop globally from Berlin since the 1990s. After studying at Harvard University, Barkow Leibinger founded an office in Berlin in 1993. Frank Barkow has taught as a visiting professor at leading American universities as well as in London and Lausanne. Regine Leibinger also taught internationally, in addition to her joint construction activities, and held a professorship at the Technical University of Berlin from 2006 to 2018. Today both partners share a professorship at Princeton University. Barkow Leibinger is one of the pioneers of a generation of architects who are constantly trying to expand the […]

until 31.08. | #2781ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kremers presents from 24th July 2020 the exhibition “Viruses and their Manners or Coronary Comments” by the artist Uwe Bremer. Nobody who knows Uwe Bremer will be surprised that he happily took up the challenge to stage the machinations of the corona virus as works of art. Painted in a masterly manner and refined with gold leaf, the virus is up to its mischief on the wooden background. In addition to this protagonist, Uwe Bremer of course depicts the victims and also the mathematical objects for which he has always had a weakness – as we have already learned from his cosmological still lives. Uwe Bremer, orona australis doppel teckling, 2020, Oil on Wood, 64 x 46 cm Uwe Bremer, coronaentladungsimpulse, 2020, Oil on Wood, 46 x 64 cm “The artworks are true gems, and with their splendid colors and baroque forms they are a feast for the eyes. I cannot judge whether they make the viewer lose his fear of the virus, but fortunately the paintings are not contagious and they unite the uncanny and the beautiful in a very close symbiosis. Price per gem: € 6000.-” Marie Christine Kremers Vernissage: Friday, 24th […]

until 28.08. | #2778ARTatBerlin | EFREMIDIS GALLERY shows from 11th July 2020 the exhibition Our inchoate love by the artist  Tony Just and the artist Alexandru Chira at [erp]. All creative activity stems from a violent impulse – the willed impulse to interfere, to interrupt, to mar, to stop. I suppose it is sad, but this kind of violent activity makes me happy. Mary Ruefle Every sound we make is a bit of autobiography. It has a totally private interior yet its trajectory is public. Anne Carson Tony Just paints in books, on paper, canvas and walls. Over the past seven years, he has worked with shapes and drips, a project inspired by Hans Fallada’s novel The Drinker (1950). In one of the writer’s more personal works, the protagonist undergoes an existential crisis, becomes an addict and ends his life by deliberately contracting tuberculosis. He does, however,  find solace in his pain and describes his tears as “endless, bitter, and eventually comforting.” In reaction to the reading, Tony Just spilled red wine over a notebook and painted the surrounding spaces. The drips reminded him of the act weeping. In the following year, his practice consisted entirely of painting in books and pouring […]

until 22.08. | #2777ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin presents from 9th July 2020 the exhibition EAST OF EDEN with works by the Chinese artist Li Qing, the first exhibition by the artist in Germany. Li Qing was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province in 1981. Li Qing is professor at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. He lives and works in Hangzhou and Shanghai. His paintings, installations and video works seek rational rifts in similarity and contradiction, acting on the perception and acknowledgment of a viewer through circuitous and overlapped structures. In recent years, his works track the historical fragmentation and ideological conflicts that have occurred widely in the dissemination of information, collective memory, and knowledge experience. Simultaneously, his works are testing the tension and contradiction between image, language, symbol and social space, connecting the multi-level elements of experience in series to construct a conflict structure. The capture of micro-politics in everyday spaces and images, the questioning of political identity in aesthetic tradition, and the observation on the identity of Chinese Art in the context of Global Art, all reflect his historical consciousness among the younger generation of Chinese artists. Li Qing, Hangzhou House No. 1-8, 2017-2019, Serie […]

bis 29.08. | #2772ARTatBerlin | taubert contemporary is showing from 4th July 2020 the exhibition A-Z – a memento with works by the recently unexpectedly deceased Swedish artist Lars Arrhenius in juxtaposition with works by other gallery artists. Galerie Taubert Contemporary writes about the exhibition: “It was with great regret that we heard of the loss of Lars Arrhenius (1966–2020) who passed away just a few weeks ago after an operation. He had been battling a stubborn autoimmune disorder for years. Lars leaves behind his wife and two children, who remain in our thoughts. From the beginning of his artistic career, Lars Arrhenius was committed to exploring new things, in particular new media and digitalisation. Over the last 10 years his focus was on environmental protection, which became his central concern. I first came into contact with Lars’s work through an exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart in 2007, ‘Pictogram – The Loneliness of Signs’. This exhibition was widely discussed and an image of a section of ‘The Man without one Way’ fascinated me to such an extent that my wife and I set off immediately. The exhibition itself was outstanding and Lars’s contribution even more impressive than expected. Lars Arrhenius, […]

until 25.07. | #2769ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts (CFA) shows from 25th June 2020 the exhibition Die Unschuldigen with works by the artist Henning Strassburger, the first exhibition of the artist with the gallery.  Henning Strassburger brings the anxieties and hopes of his generation into the heart of his painting with a fatal equanimity. “People no longer see innocently, so as a painter I cannot do that either”. The world we live in is vague and sketchy. Identification happens on surfaces. We constantly take on changing roles in changing constellations and contexts. To believe that any image remains innocent is an illusion. In his new works, Strassburger has reached way back into the 20th century. Back to early Pop Art and to Jasper Johns whose gray pictures with their ciphers, numbers and letters came when the contradictory codes and symbols of our contemporary world were only just emerging. For his own grey paintings, Strassburger has used leftover paints to mix together “the most colorful gray you can imagine”. A gray that does not lack color, instead uniting all tones and moods in one. Abstract and figure, writing and gesture, form and surface, texture and materiality melt together in the simultaneity […]

until the ice melts | #2768ARTatBerlin | The Association for the support of art and culture at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz (Verein zur Förderung von Kunst und Kultur am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz) shows from 26. Juni 2020 on the public green between Almstadt- and Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße the work Death Letter Blues by the artist Paula Döpfner. The exhibition can be seen around the clock. The Verein zur Förderung von Kunst und Kultur am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz hosts Paula Döpfner’s new Work Death Letter Blues on the public green between Almstadt- and Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße.

The quotation is from a collection of poems by the female poet Joyce Mansour (1928–1986), Déchirures, from 1955. Doepfner’s art installation is […]

until 31.07. | #2765ARTatBerlin | re|space gallery officially opened to the public on the 11th of May with the inaugural exhibition World Unknown. The solo-exhibition will present works by the artist Gogi Gelantia in this new gallery in Berlin. World Unknown, the inaugural exhibition at re|space Gallery, presents a solo-show with works by the artist Gogi Gelantia. The works presented, focus on Gelantia’s series of abstracts painted in acrylic on canvas. In the age of the Anthropocene the metropolitan lifestyle of the global north revolves around material comforts. As a gregarious species we seek human interaction and have built an extremely complex societal construct. In the face of the current global pandemic, however, we struggle to upkeep this lifestyle. Through the exhibition World Unknown, the artist Gogi Gelantia invites us to view the world from a new perspective. Gogi Gelantia, Abstraction 2 Gogi Gelantia, The Cross His emotional landscapes move us from our hyper focus on the Anthropos to a more abstracted, objective point of view. In a similar manner, Gelantia’s purely abstract paintings offer an escape from our current climate into a world unknown. The abstract paintings range from emotionally charged explosions of colour to elaborate dreamscapes in which […]

until 06.08. | #2760ARTatBerlin | Migrant Bird Space presents from 19th June 2020 the solo show archegraph study_Berlin with works by the artist Yuya Suzuki. In search of a new visual language, Japanese artist Yuya Suzuki responds to the environment around him: minimalist amorphous shapes, semi-symmetric patterns and bright, blazing colours function like fragments or syllables of an unintelligible code. When viewed as series or as room-filling installation, Suzuki’s works unfold into a linguistic landscape that feels strangely familiar, yet cleverly escapes definitive meaning. Each image is created from a part of an actual city-scape, but the level of abstraction varies: from motifs that closely resemble the original to heavily abstracted patterns. His “archegraph studies” — a term he coined in 2016— are visual texts that could also be described as an abstract syntax or musical pattern. Suzuki’s notes proliferate endlessly, defying a harmonious melody.  Yuya Suzuki: archegraph study_Berlin, 2020 | Migrant Bird Space  Yuya Suzuki: archegraph study_Berlin, 2020 | Migrant Bird Space Suzuki creates drawings, paintings and sculptures that are linked to our unconscious perception of contemporary urban life. He is a flaneur. Travelling the world, Suzuki wanders through cities he visits and collects impressions of mundane objects and […]
