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 31.10. | #2805ARTatBerlin | RASCHE RIPKEN presents from 4th September 2020 the solo exhibition “AVUS” with new paintings by the Dutch artist Jan Ros. City, architecture, mobility – these are themes Jan Ros has explored for a long time. Using photographs as source material, he transforms them into multifarious paintings mainly oriented toward space and object, but which also engender abstract passages defined entirely by color. He switches the degree of acuity and path of movement depending on the subject, modeling sculptural volumes out of broad brushstrokes, and working with stencil-like inserts and sharp contours that stand out from their painted surroundings like cut-outs. Ros’s repertoire includes urban landscapes and famous modernist, International-style buildings, as well as images of cars and airplanes, or of transitory sites like gas stations and transit terminals, which often recollect filmed images, like scenes from a road movie. Furthermore, his paintings of interiors – which feature views of urban panoramas or guide the gaze through a suite of windowless rooms, thus expanding the viewer’s real space through the imagination – also demonstrate that the interaction of inside and outside, light and shade, plays an important role.

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 […]

until 12.09. | #2796ARTatBerlin | oqbo | raum für bild wort ton shows from 8th August 2020 the group show … AUSSER VIELLEICHT EINE KONSTELLATION (EXCEPT MAYBE A CONSTELLATION ), an homage á Giandomenico Tiepolo, curated by Michael Glasmeier and Christian Schiebe. To mark the 250th anniversary of the death of the Venetian Baroque painter Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770), we are showing the graphic series “Flight to Egypt” by his son Giandomenico Tiepolo (1727-1804), to which the father will refer just as directly in silent pictures at the end of his life as some of the artists in this exhibition. In addition, we have selected works that have a new effect in connection with this 27-part cycle. Three categories are of interest: the substantive theme of flight, of course, the labyrinthine in the global; then the formal of the narrative, the sequence, and finally the reflection on the graphic, the drawing, the line, the form, the poetry. Giandomenico Tiepolo, Idée Pittoresche Sopra La Fugga in Egitto di Giesu, Maria e Gioseppe, 1753, Blatt 14, Detail  Tiepolo’s fine, humane and sometimes humorous depiction of the “Flight to Egypt” in particular, which rekindles our curiosity from page to page, could open up the […]

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 29.08.| #2792ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte presents from 24th July 2020 the solo show  “Unit” by the artist Jonas Weichsel and one artwork by the artist Fred Sandback in the corner space of the gallery. This summer, Galerie Thomas Schulte is very pleased to present German painter Jonas Weichsel’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, alongside a minimalist yarn sculpture by US-American artist Fred Sandback in the Corner Space. Jonas Weichsel, study, 2020 Jonas Weichsel presents in his exhibition Unit new works elaborating on his distinctive painting technique; including meticulously composed gradient paintings. Through the interplay of mechanical precision and the emotive ability of color, the works oscillate between definitude and haziness, material presence and dissolution. Here, Weichsel continues his ongoing pursuit—extending the possibilities of an autonomous painterly language, in dialogue with the media and aesthetics of the digital age. Fred Sandback, Untitled, (Sculptural Study, Broken Triangle, Lannan Foundation, Santa Fe), 1999/2014, black and orange acrylic yarn, dimensions variable From the late 1960s, Fred Sandback created an expansive oeuvre of linear sculptures, employing minimal means to achieve spatial effects that combine artwork, space, and the viewer’s perception. This work, using the form of a “broken” triangle and configured for […]

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 27.08. | #2788ARTatBerlin | Galerie ART CRU Berlin shows from 28th July 2020 the solo exhibition STAPELLAUF – WAS SONST with collages by the artist Macks Querfeldt. When Macks Querfeldt gets his stacks going, he does not want this event to be understood exclusively as an account of private feelings. The artist’s work is just as much a protocol, created by selection, of the social upheavals that produce these very stacks. With his assemblages, Macks Querfeldt transforms the gallery into his press office, his kiosk, his world receiver. O.T., 2019, Acryl u. Collage auf Leinwand, 40 x 60 cm Kant, Leibniz or Freud, coffee-making monkeys or lace curtains. There is nothing that does not exist in the artist’s densely populated combination compositions. Macks Querfeldt arranges his view of the world from a great wealth of materials, newspaper and magazine cuttings, found objects, strings, upholstery, even wigs. In a constant process of collecting and selecting, a protocol of social upheavals is thus created. Among the 25 works shown are numerous “classical” collages, which in their combination with colored canvases on which the artist places his cutouts, are sometimes reminiscent in their effect of pioneers of collage and Pop Art, such […]

until 26.09. | #2784ARTatBerlin | Sandau & Leo Galerie presents from 23 July 2020 the summer exhibition “IMMER UNTERWEGS” with paintings of the artist Ulrike Hahn and sculptures of the artist Michael Jastram Ulrike Hahn likes to be inspired on extended trips to the south. Street scenes and landscapes in special light are always inspiring. The pictures from the last months also give an idea of a longing for sociability. Ulrike Hahn, Hinter den Dünen, 2020, Öl auf Leinwand, 120 x 100 cm Variations of rider and horse as well as ferryman and boat by Michael Jastram emphasize an original form of being on the road. Numerous bronzes stand on wheels, stairs lead far up – a metaphor of constant change and movement in society, in nature. Michael Jastram, Boot und Reiter, 2018, 15 x 38 x 5 cm Nowhere is there any standstill. Nothing remains as it never has been – Ulrike Hahn and Michael Jastram are always on the road … Two catalogues will be published for the exhibition.

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 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 […]

until 25.10. | #2776ARTatBerlin | From 9 July 2020 the Bärenzwinger shows the group exhibition SOUND.NODES. Several events will take place during the exhibition period. The »sound.nodes« exhibition is a first step toward exploring the subject of opening, the theme of our new annual program »Openings, not Openings.« The idea here is that the various artistic approaches and perspectives shown allow the Bärenzwinger’s spaces to expand in self-reflection. New insights and changes in circumstances due to the current situation are forcing the Bärenzwinger into a self-critical, fusilli-shaped process of opening at a time when opening is either prohibited or only possible under strict conditions. The space offers different themes, dynamics, and perspectives to connect and create »nodes«, which in turn further evolve in a self-reflective manner, continuously interlinking in new ways over time. The act of listening among the participating artists and their contributions raises a wealth of questions that will determine the next steps we take: to what extent is opening an act of opening the self? How do we ourselves approach opening, and how open are we to perspectives that question our own standpoint? How do we cope with the fact that the memories of others don’t always […]

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 29.08. | #2771ARTatBerlin | Galerie Brockstedt is presenting the summer exhibition “Positions of Modernism – From Max Klinger to Willi Baumeister” from now until the end of August 2020. “Art is always contemporary and realistic, it has never existed otherwise and, above all, it cannot exist otherwise.” Fyodor Dostoyevsky Artists record what they have met or touched in order to share it with us, the viewer. Paul Klee once put this aptly: “They do not reproduce what is visible, but make it visible! Thus, in the recently opened exhibition at Galerie Brockstedt, we can take an exciting journey through time in an almost museum-like way, on the traces of modernism, from the turn of the century to the 1960s. Vilmos Huszár, Stilleven met Vruchten, without year, 50 x 59,5 cm, oil on hard fibre On display are works by Willi Baumeister – Carl Buchheister – Peter Foerster – Otto Freundlich – Conrad Felixmüller – George Grosz – Vilmos Huzár – Edmund Kesting – Max Klinger – Kosnick-Kloss – Jeanne Mammen – Georg Meistermann – Johannes Molzahn – Richard Müller – Jozef Peeters – Christian Schad – Rudolf Schlichter – Lothar Schreyer – Kurt Schwitters – Bruno Voigt – Erich […]

until 31.08. | #2767ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kremers shows from 19th June 2020 the exhibition with the Lerchenbaum sound sculpture and painting by the artist Gregor Hiltner. “The lark sings for the last time in spring” is the title of a book by the German writer Johannes Mario Simmel. He describes the impending climate and environmental crisis and the associated likelihood of the decline of human civilization in a highly visionary manner. It is a very topical book today, although it was written over thirty years ago. In the week, the shutdown was decided, Gregor Hiltner completed his large sound-sculpture “Lerchenbaum”, equipped with an almost invisible, high quality speaker system. Larks and other songbirds, most of which might no longer exist in the near future, can be heard in an overwhelming quality of sound. The sculpture was placed in the spacious “Gothic Hall” of the Berlin Galerie Kremers to be the centerpiece of an exhibition by the artist.

extended until 15.09. | #2763ARTatBerlin | drj art projects shows from 21st June 2020 the exhibition ÜBERTRAG with works by the artists Denise Winter and Hartmut Böhm. “Dear friends, dear audience! How do you announce an exhibition today that was planned for a different time? Not only regarding the date, but also the state of the world and its character? An exhibition that is now in a completely different situation than the one it was conceived for? It opens seven weeks later than planned. Its title is ÜBERTRAG [Transfer]. And still, this refers to the artistic works, their contents, methods, techniques and effects. To the basic artistic concepts as well as to the resulting works themselves. In the exhibition they are positioned in relation to each other, and major differences between them are apparent. On the other hand, it also becomes clear that they are very close to each other. In particular, they are representatives of the time in which they were created. The title ÜBERTRAG is thus directly related to the generations of the two artists Hartmut Böhm and Denise Winter. The exhibited works reveal how their authors relate to the issues of their time and the world around them: The […]
