Application now open: Black Swan Hackathon “The Communes” at KW Institute for Contemporary Art
Can interdependence be the basis for sustainable economic models for art production? What does sustainability mean in a world of change? What happens when we consider the emotional components of art making as an active component in the distribution of resources and the creation of value in art? And finally, how does art survive, evolve or change as history merges into a perpetual present? Apply to Black Swan for the game The Communes at KW Institute for Contemporary Art (application deadline: 05.08.2021, 23:59, game date: 27.08.-29.08.2021, expected duration: 36 hrs.) to decide how to manage and distribute resources consisting of money, space and materials for art production.

CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR | Off-Space Kunstakademie Düsseldorf on Kurfürstendamm | 02.07.-30.07.2021
In July 2021 a group of students from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf will exhibit in a shop at Kurfürstendamm 216. Closer Than They Appear is an off-space project. Paintings, sculptures, videos and performance will be shown. Closer Than They Appear (Ctta) is a self-organised off-space project by students of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf to present current artistic works in Berlin. After much of last year’s artistic work, which is very much characterised by constant exchange in the normal course of business, was created at a spatial distance, the exhibition is used to create a connection between the different works. The title “Closer Than They Appear”, derived from the engraved warning on … Read the article further on DEEDS.NEWS.

Pavlov’s Dog presents Fabian Zapatka: VATER | 16.07.-18.07.2021
The actor Manfred Zapatka recently ended his stage career. His son, photographer Fabian Zapatka, accompanied him as he said goodbye. The pictures in the exhibition VATER are about this, which Pavlov’s Dog will show on 17 and 18 July 2021 (Opening: 16 July) in the free exhibition space erstererster in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. At the beginning of the exploratory project is the question: How can one open the way to the other person with the help of photography? Especially since this other person is one’s own father. A powerful figure who has not only played almost every role at the Deutsches Ensembletheater, from Tasso to Hamlet to Lorenzaccio, but at the same time appears … Continue the article with all informations on DEEDS.NEWS.

SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS IN MUSEUMS
Anna Dorothea Therbusch | Gemäldegalerie | 03.12.2021-10.04.2022
Today 300 years ago, on 23 July 1721, Anna Dorothea Therbusch, one of the most important female artists of the 18th century, was born in Berlin. To mark this milestone anniversary, in autumn 2021 the Gemäldegalerie will pay tribute to this extraordinary artist and pioneer of emancipation with a focused special exhibition featuring selected works from the National Museums in Berlin’s own holdings. The unusual career path of Anna Dorothea Therbusch (1721-1782) began as the daughter of the Prussian court painter Georg Lisiewsky, from whom she received her first training as a painter at an early age, as did her siblings. However, as the wife of an innkeeper and mother of five children, her skills in this field initially remained unused. From the age of 40, she devoted herself all the more energetically to painting, so that in 1767 she was one of the few women ever to be admitted to the most important European art academy of the time, the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in Paris. Back in her home town, she became a sought-after portrait painter and an important chronicler of the Age of Enlightenment with portraits of Henriette Herz, Frederick II and the physician […]

Von der Sprache aus. Joseph Beuys on the occasion of his 100th birthday | Hamburger Bahnhof | 13.06.-19.09.2021
From 13 June 2021, the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart Berlin is scheduled to show the special exhibition ” Von der Sprache aus. Joseph Beuys on the 100th Birthday”. To mark the 100th anniversary of Joseph Beuys’ birth, Hamburger Bahnhof is placing language at the centre of an exhibition that includes sculptures, drawings, installations, films, posters and documents from the holdings of the National Gallery, the Marx Collection, the Museum of Prints and Drawings and the Art Library. As part of the exhibition, the central cycle “The secret block for a secret person in Ireland” will be shown, among other things, for the first time since 2014. Joseph Beuys in his flat in Düsseldorf, 1981 © Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Kunstbibliothek, Sammlung Marzona / Winfried Göllner In 1985, Joseph Beuys contributed to the series “Speeches about one’s own country: Germany” at the Münchner Kammerspiele. In his speech, he stated that he developed his works from language. For him, language contained a plastic power through whose conscious shaping each and every individual could participate physically, intellectually and communicatively in the reorganisation of society. On the basis of 25 works from 1945 to 1985, the exhibition traces Beuys’ engagement with language, […]

Decadence and Digital Dreams | Virtual Exhibition on Belgian Symbolism | Alte Nationalgalerie | Live Tours on 08.04. + 16.04.2021
The Alte Nationalgalerie is currently presenting the virtual exhibition Decadence and Digital Dreams, an exhibition on Belgian Symbolism. The exhibition was originally scheduled to run from 18 September 2020 to 17 January 2021 and can now be visited online free of charge. There will also be 20-minute live tours of one of the main works in the Alte Nationalgalerie on 8 and 16 April at 6pm each, which can be viewed live on the National Museums in Berlin’s Instagram channel. The large-scale special exhibition “Decadence and Dark Dreams. Belgian Symbolism”, which could only be shown for a short time in the Alte Nationalgalerie due to its closure for corona reasons, can now be visited virtually in a high-resolution 360-degree tour: The lustful gaze of an oversaturated society into the abyss, the morbid allure between Thanatos and Eros are thematic fields in art that found expression at the end of the 19th century, especially in Belgian Symbolism. The exhibition, which for corona reasons could only be shown at the Alte Nationalgalerie from 18 September to 2 November 2020, traces the art movement of the fin-de-siecle with around 200 works by more than 30 artists – including masterpieces by Fernand Khnopff, Leon […]

GEHEIMKABINETT | Group Show | Luisa Catucci Gallery | 09.08.-02.09.2021
until 02.09. | #3106ARTatBerlin | Luisa Catucci Gallery shows from 9. August 2021 the exhibition GEHEIMKABINETT curated by Isorropia Homegallery with works by five artists. On show are works by Silvia Argiolas, Piero Figura, Andrea Gallo, Nico Mingozzi and Silvia Paci. The title of the exhibition is a tribute to the “Gabinetto Segreto” (Secret Cabinet), a section of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples in which exhibits exclusively erotic and sexual samples of Greek and Roman art. Over the course of time, the Cabinet has been subjected to censorship, prohibiting the public display of the works it contains and even threatening their destruction. The sexual act, represented by the ancient art in an explicit and natural way, was seen by later audiences as a symbol of depravity, obscenity and sin. Piero Figura This fact vividly exemplifies the difficult relationship between the public and erotic art, which has always been controversial and a subject of scandal. The works of the five artists are a part of this tradition and, with different languages and ways they investigate multiple facets of sexuality, inviting us to a reflective and generative confrontation, starting from the idea that inclusive culture is essential for the collective well-being.

Carsten Goering | FUTURE STATEMENTS #1 | REITER | Berlin prospect | 23.07.-21.08.2021
until 21.08. | #3105ARTatBerlin | REITER | Berlin prospect presents from 23th July 2021 the frist part of the exhibition series FUTURE STATEMENTS #1 by the artist Carsten Goering. For the majority of freelance artists, the period of social distancing was a time of ‘productive invisibility’. Such a state can actually create more space for ideas and a more intense working process. Perhaps such situations sharpen critical self-observation. The tendency towards a more inward-directed perception probably strengthens the willingness to question oneself. However, when a comparison with the public sphere is not possible, the work is unable to establish a relationship to the outside world. However, since Duchamp, isn’t it precisely the environment that determines what becomes art? As a consequence, doesn’t the unseen work remain within its own present as a recording for future times? Carsten Goering The exhibition series “Future Statements” shows precisely this working phase, as exemplified in the studios of Carsten Goering, Christian Holze, Wanda Stolle and Claus Georg Stabe. These represent four very different artistic approaches. However, all of them explore, in a certain sense, the manipulative and at the same time liberating possibilities of media synthesis and penetration. They lead into the border layers of […]

UNAPOLOGETIC | Group Show | GalleryNo 10 | 14.08.-31.10.2021
until 31.10. | #3104ARTatBerlin | GalleryNo 10 presents from 14th August 2021 the group exhibition and at the same time opening exhibition UNAPOLOGETIC. With the exhibition UNAPOLOGETIC, GalleryNo 10 opens its rooms in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. The people behind GalleryNo 10 are Susanne L. Born and Manuela Liane Groll, in cooperation with curator Dr. Suzy Royal. The opening exhibition focuses on the following artists: Feryel Atek is a figurative painter and art therapist from Paris who has lived in Berlin for 7 years. Her main medium is large-scale, immersive paintings and a collection of intimate, detailed drawings. Her work focuses on the symbolic and archetypal aspects of the human figure, female representation and autobiographical inner myths. She plays between dynamic, raw gestures and graphic lines. Feryel Atek, October Moon Mara Dominioni is an Italian-Swiss sculptor who lives in Chateaugiron, near Rennes, France. Her sculptures are a tribute to the beauty of the human condition, classical in character, representational in form, and they breathe an irresistible combination of sensuality and power, strength and vulnerability, softness and intimacy. Shura Kraëff was a photographer, painter and wanderer between different worlds. Rooted in the tropics of Indonesia with Dutch-Russian ancestry, her extensive body of work is […]

Maria Loboda | Listen to me, little pig! | Galerie Thomas Schulte | 17.08.-04.09.2021
until 04.09. | #3103ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte currently shows the solo exhibition Listen to me, little pig! by the artist Maria Loboda. Maria Loboda’s exhibition Listen to me, little pig! at Galerie Thomas Schulte is dedicated to the failures, double interpretations and misinterpretations in the communication between humans and nature. With characteristic wit and irony, the artist transforms the space: a series of prints of pastoral landscape paintings bear hand-embossed titles of unexpected ambient soundtracks. The prints form the panoramic backdrop for Loboda’s fragmented garden landscape. Between fruit trees growing out of brutalist sculptures and candle-shaped overgrown metal trellises, the artist plants manipulated quotations from literature, music and art history, among which visitors mingle to be seduced. In the gallery’s Cornerspace, artist Lawrence Weiner’s exhibition Dried Earth & Scattered Ashes Or Dried Earth & Buried Gold Or will be presented at the same time. The gallery is delighted that Lawrence Weiner has accepted the invitation to show a work in the gallery’s Corner Space this summer. Weiner defines his work as sculpture. Sculpture consists of language and the material to which it refers. Here, language is the primary form in which the work exists. When the installation of the […]

Anna Meyer | Hopesters | Haus am Lützowplatz | 23.07.-05.09.2021
until 05.09. | #3102ARTatBerlin | Haus am Lützowplatz shows from 23rd July 2021 the solo exhibition Hopesters by the artist Anna Meyer. The Haus am Lützowplatz is showing the painter and installation artist Anna Meyer in her first institutional solo exhibition in Berlin. The last time she was presented with a solo show in Germany was in 2006 at the Galerie für zeitgenössische Kunst in Leipzig. The artist’s themes of equality, climate change, globalisation, the shift to the right and digitalisation become tangible in several series of images from recent years and form a unified narrative about our present, which is riven by crises. The exhibition title “Hopesters” (composed of the terms “Hope” and “Hipster”) refers to contradictory or fragile alliances in coping with the complexity of our present. It is a deliberately ambiguous term that on the one hand wants to give hope for change through commitment, but also includes the flip side of today’s populist protest movements, such as the phenomena of the French “yellow waistcoats” or the so-called lateral thinkers. Anna Meyer, Hopesters, 2020, Oil on Canvas, 160 x 130 cm At the centre of the exhibition is the “Future Feminism” picture atlas collected by Anna Meyer […]

Ulrike Ottinger | Journée d’un G.I. | Contemporary Fine Arts (CFA Berlin) | 22.07.-28.08.2021
until 28.08. | #3101ARTatBerlin | Contemporary Fine Arts shows from 22nd July 2021 the solo show Journée d’un G.I. by the artist Ulrike Ottinger, the third solo show of the artist in the gallery. A screaming comes across the sky. Metaphors of war and revolution creep into Ulrike Ottinger’s painted stories as helicopters, rockets and shotguns scatter above the heads of people just going about their day. Performing their daily rituals as if under a spell, they are helpless in the face of impending doom. Not worrying, loving the bomb. They’re shooting at everyone anyway. Working as a painter in 1960s Paris, Ottinger’s early practice was influenced by the nouvelle figuration, the Paris version of Pop art. Drawing inspiration from scenes of everyday life, comics, photography and advertising, the style incorporated numerous social layers and references to political occurrences. Ottinger’s cheerful paintings and serigraphs stand closely to the aesthetics of the movement, as they tell tales that develop through time in form of sequences and polyptychs. The eternally dynamic distinction between life and the form it finds in art is mirrored in the tension between image and sequence, between the individual and society. One’s own bubble bursts and stories only […]

Sam Szembek | Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung | 24.07.-28.08.2021
until 28.08. | #3100ARTatBerlin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung (> Room for Drawing) presents from 24. July 2021 a solo exhibition with works by the artist Sam Szembek. This year, we can again perceive the tension between 4 or 5 concentrated black lines on the white of Sam Szembek’s papers in an exhibition at the gallery. Over decades, the material for his work has remained unchanged: Paper, charcoal and eraser. The white of the papers in the studio constantly challenges him again and again as a counterpart. Concentrated, the accumulated experience transfers the lines through his hand until he is convinced that these jet-black lines must stand in relation to each other on the white sheet in this way and no other. Between the infinite possibilities offered by the vertical, horizontal and diagonal line progressions, recurring patterns of drawing crystallise, which, as it were, stand in the field of their own tradition. Sam Szembek’s preferred format of 78 x 98 cm allows him to work in an expansive manner. The drawings illustrate anew how the artist tries to mark out areas with signs through lines in the infinity of white. Sam Szembek, o.T., 2020, Charcoal on paper, 78 […]

Nele Probst | Wildwuchs | galerie weisser elefant | 10.07.-14.08.2021
until 14.08. | #3099ARTatBerlin | galerie weisser elefant currently shows the solo exhibition Wildwuchs (> Wild Growth) with worky by the artist Nele Probst. The works of artist Nele Probst are not pleasing, but rather unwieldy. Her work with painting and installation is dominated by playful elements that explore our relationship to things. The starting point is the visualisation of conflicts between nature and modern civilisation. The hidden spaces of her paintings conceal secrets and also an uncertain fear. Seemingly arbitrary objects, which the artist selects for their authenticity and equivalence, are combined in her installations. In this way, Nele Probst creates objects that could certainly come to life if only they wanted to. Her sculptures, reminiscent of thing-beings from stories by Kafka and Borges, correspond very stubbornly with the motionless shielded picture frames of the paintings, behind which something could be hidden, but also protected. Nele Probst, 2020 Nele Probst studied visual communication and graphic design at the University of Applied Sciences in Mannheim and has been working in Berlin as a freelance artist in the fields of painting, sculpture and installation since 1993. In addition to her own exhibition activities, she has been working with children and young […]

Marc Padeu | the world is Ours | Peres Projects | 12.07.-06.08.2021
until 06.08. | #3098ARTatBerlin | Peres Projects currently shows the exhibition the world is Ours by the artist Marc Padeu. It is the first solo exhibition of the artist in the gallery. The paintings that make up this exhibition revolve around family life. These cinematic canvases are full of motion: a whirring fan, a plate being filled, a shoulder heaving from a sob. Intimate and energetic moments held as motion in time. These works are studies of time, reflecting on the passing of life, from birth to death implicated by the subjects of the paintings. Exhibition dates: Monday, 12th July – Friday, 6th August 2021 Image caption: Marc Padeu, the world is Ours, 2021, Painting – Acrylic on canvas, 220 x 200 cm (87 x 79 in) Exhibition Marc Padeu – Peres Projects | Zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin | Contemporary Art | Exhibitions Berlin Galleries | ART at Berlin

ZERO+ | Group Show | ARTES Berlin | 17.07.–11.09.2021
until 11.09. | #3097ARTatBerlin | ARTES Berlin presents from 17th July 2021 the group exhibition ZERO+ with unique pieces, editions and collectors’ items by the fathers of the ZERO movement juxtaposed with selected works by contemporary conceptual artists. Zero is the silence. Zero is the beginning. Zero is round. Zero is turning. Zero is the moon – the show brings together more than 30 works, including unique pieces, editions and collectors’ items by the fathers of the ZERO movement Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and Günther Uecker and their circle, including Adolf Luther, Hermann Goepfert, Herbert Zangs, Lucio Fontana and Bernard Aubertin. The exhibition ZERO+ expands the positions with works by contemporary artists, including Wolfgang Flad, Fabian Gatermann and Thomas Röthel, who work in a comparable conceptual and stylistic way and bring the idea into the present with new techniques and media. Adolf Luther, Hänge-Linse, 1980 Fabian Gatermann, Mobile, 2021 The objects shown have in common a clear and reduced visual language. An aesthetic and creative diversity that ranges from lens objects, coloured ceramic fields, nail trees and prints, lithography and serigraphy, mobile, mixed media and installation to assemblage and collage. Taken as a whole, the monochrome and sometimes polychrome objects […]

Christiane Feser | Coded Echoes | 68 projects | 07.08.–09.09.2021
until 09.09. | #3095ARTatBerlin | 68 projects shows from 7th August 2021 in cooperation with Frankfurt based Galerie Anita Beckers the solo exhibition Coded Echoes by the German artist Christiane Feser. Within the works of Feser the viewer is presented with an array of visual phenomena. Confronted with an illusionary understanding of what is presented on the “photographic” surface, what Feser’s photo-objects really invite is an investigative relation to the world which encourages aesthetic awareness and changing perspectives. As the two-dimensional pictorial spaces of her images meet the transformed layers of three-dimensionality, we find ourselves as viewers in a vibrant and dynamic structure of new possibilities. Here, within the multi-layered cast shadows, her hybrid works allow for a reexamination of the meanings of images and materiality. Christiane Feser in ihrem Atelier, Foto © Frank Röth Trained as an artist focussing on photography as a medium, Feser’s strength lies in her command of light and shadow. After creating compositions out of folded paper, she uses a variety of light sources to add specific shadows to the folded forms which go through another stage of being photographed. The resulting print is then cut up and folded, and at times pins […]

Daniel Canogar | Reverberations | Galerie Kornfeld | 07.08.-09.09.2021
bis 09.09. | #3094ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kornfeld presents from 7th August 2021 in cooperation with the Frankfurt based gallery Anita Beckers, the exhibition Reverberations by the Spanish-American artist Daniel Canogar. Data drives the world we live in today, from our homes to our offices and slowly creeping its way into every aspect of our sense of self and life, so it is no surprise that the works of Canogar raise a very pertinent question of our times: is this data-driven society for the better or worse? Combining a variety of recent projects, this exhibition explores the many sides of this virtual coin. As one enters into the colour field movements of Canogar’s sculptures and screens, one loses sight of the world one finds oneself in. Is it the world I can touch and feel, or the other, the one which exists in this complex virtual space that has profoundly infiltrated our society? In fact, it is this tactile relationship between the “real” and “virtual” which Canogar is most interested in. Canogar’s work thus captures how we interact with technology, and vice versa, how technology modifies our sense of the world around us and the social fabric of communication and connection. […]

Juan Miguel Pozo + Inna Artemova | janinebeangallery | 16.07.-14.08.2021
until 14.08. | #3093ARTatBerlin | janinebeangallery presents from 16th July 2021 an exhibition with works by the artists Juan Miguel Pozo and Inna Artemova. Both Juan Miguel Pozo from Havana and the Russian artist Inna Artemova show semi-abstract, architectural objects and structures in their works. In the paintings and works on paper of both artists, not only places such as Berlin, Moscow and Havana, but also the characteristics of the old and new world, East and West, as well as utopia and dystopia come together as local and temporal entanglements. Juan Miguel Pozo, XX Anniversary, 140 x 100 cm, Acrylic on Canvas, 2021 Juan Miguel Pozo was born 1967 in Holguin, Cuba. During his time as an art student at the University of Havana a German journalist discovered him in 1994, drawing the attention of friendly artists like Konrad Klapheck on the Cuban painter. These artists advocated for Pozo‘s scholarship at the Art Academy Düsseldorf in Germany, enabling him to emigrate to Europe. The artworks of Juan Pozo are part of such renowned international art collections as Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), Ella Fontanals Cisneros, Pérez Art Museum Miami, Falckenberg, Ludwig, Nachmann and Sean Penn and many more. Inna Artemova, […]

Oskar Manigk + Caro Stark | Schablonen | Galerie mutare | 09.07.-14.08.2021
until 14.08. | #3092ARTatBerlin | Galerie mutare presents from 9th July 2021 the duo exhibition “Schablonen” with reverse glass painting by the artist Oskar Manigk and sculptures by the artist Caro Stark. Oskar Manigk was born in Berlin in 1934 as the son of the painter Otto Manigk (1902-1972). After graduating from high school and completing a carpentry apprenticeship, he was a guest student at the Berlin-Weißensee School of Art from 1956 to 1957, then a guest student at the Institute for Art Education at the Ernst Moritz Arndt University in Greifswald. From 1965 he was a member of the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR, and since 1990 he has been a member of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Artists’ Association. Since 1966 his works have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Germany. In 1993 he was awarded the Caspar David Friedrich Prize of the Heinemann Foundation Rendsburg, and in 2005 he received the Cultural Prize of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for his life’s work. Manigk, whose works are in German public and private collections, lives on Usedom and in Berlin. Oskar Manigk, Frau mit Hündchen, Pochoir, 80 x 100 Oskar Manigk, Der Kuss, Pochoir, 80 x […]

Wendimagegn Belete | Your Gaze Makes Me | Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin | 10.07.-06.08.2021
until 06.08. | #3091ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Berlin shows from 10th July 2021 the solo show Your Gaze Makes Me with works by the artist Wendimagegn Belete. A series of proud figures appear vibrantly dressed in elaborate, traditional costumes, while their faces are veiled by black. For this latest body of work, Eithopian artist Wendimagegn Belete has appropriated black and white ethnographic imagery, which he enlarged, digitally manipulated and then printed, before hand-colouring details to create vibrant, textured portraits that examine not only the tactility of images, but also their relationship to time and history. Your Gaze Makes Me, his solo show at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin, offers a compelling exploration of how learnt habits of perception can limit our understanding of both the image and history, and how art can liberate new ways of seeing. Belete’s practice is preoccupied with cultural heritage and identity in relation to historical narratives and the concept of epigenetic inheritance, of memories that transfer over generations and permeate our present. Over time, he has collected a vast array of source materials – photographs, letters, recorded conversations, maps and textiles – which he weaves together to create richly layered visual narratives that move back and […]

Tadaaki Kuwayama | selected works of 60y & collaborations | Taubert Contemporary | 03.07.-28.08.2021
until 28.08. | #3090ARTatBerlin | Taubert Contemporary shows from 3rd July 2021 the exhibition selected works of 60y & collaborations with a retrospective of the work of artist Tadaaki Kuwayama. In collaboration with Mies van der Rohe Haus Berlin. New York-based Tadaaki Kuwayama is currently being rediscovered internationally; especially in Asia and America. For the first time, Taubert Contemporary, together with the Mies van der Rohe Haus, is showing a comprehensive exhibition of the work of the artist, who was born in Japan in 1932. Tadaaki Kuwayama’s works define the space with clear frames. Within these, an infinite vastness evolves. His minimalist works touch the spiritual-aesthetic senses and are thus closely related to the architectural concept of the Lemke House. The works on display are framing 60 years of his artistic work and illustrate an intensive examination of space as well as possible forms of limitation and expansion. TK3959-3/4-20, 2020, Acrylic on canvas with aluminum strip, 152 x 152 cm Tadaaki Kuwayama was born in Nagoya, Japan, and studied Japanese painting at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music until 1956. Inspired by American and European art, he emigrated to the United States in 1958, as did many […]

Nina Laaf | toucher doux | galerie burster | 12.06.-10.07.2021
until 10.07. | #3089ARTatBerlin | galerie burster berlin currently shows the exhibition toucher doux with works by the artist Nina Laaf. This is Nina Laaf’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. In her work, Nina Laaf deals with strategies of irritation, alienation, context shifting and questioning of visual habits. She investigates the nature of material-textures and their limits. The central element of the exhibition is the multi-part sculpture Lamelle auf Rille, which abstracts everyday situations and images in which layering and seriality appear. It consists of a creamy-white painted tube with plug-in spots into which five precisely fitting plates are inserted. The surfaces, trimmed by milling, are lacquered in nuanced shades of purple, among others, and visibly differ in their materiality (glass, perforated metal, painted metal) and shape. Through their rhythmic arrangement and modularity, the panels create deliberately placed plays of reflection and engage in a mutual assertive dialogue. Associations oscillate between a spatial composition that relates to its immediate environment and a primarily aesthetic reception. Nina Laaf, Lamelle auf Rille, 2021, aluminium, acrylic, lacquer, plexiglas, 200 x 300 x 110 cm That hybrid material-confluences are the focus of her work, is also evident in Nina Laaf’s series Circles, in […]

Ina Weber | BAR | Laura Mars Gallery | 19.06.-24.07.2021
until 24.07.| #3088ARTatBerlin | Laura Mars Gallery currently presents the installation BAR by the artist and professor Ina Weber. The Third Place (a term coined by American sociologist Ray Oldenburg) refers to places that, unlike home and the workplace, are public, accessible places of encounter, such as parks, libraries, and cafés. Here, the private person becomes a public one, interacting with others. Ina Weber’s installation BAR shows such a place, where, in the curved time around closing time, after-hours visitors can pick up the echoes of conversations, ideas, and occurrences. The installation is accompanied by music from Joe Baiza and Michael Lembach, made and recorded especially for this occasion. Ina Weber (*1964) lives and works in Berlin. 1989 – 94 Studied at Kassel University with Harry Kramer and Martin Kippenberger, among others; since 2016 professor of sculpture at the UdK University of the Arts, Berlin.

Sinta Werner | Anticipation of the Moment | alexander levy | 02.07.-31.07.2021
until 31.07. | #3087ARTatBerlin | alexander levy shows from 2th July 2021 the exhibition Anticipation of the Moment with works by the artist Sinta Werner. Sinta Werner’s work demonstrates a fascination for the dematerialising and perception-altering effects of glass in interaction with architectural structures. In her fourth solo exhibition at the Galerie alexander levy, glass cubes hang on the walls or stand on a slide projector and throw immaterial, tectonic light and shade forms. […] Sinta Werner’s photographic works could be described as viewing machines or optical apparatuses that give ephemeral, broken perspectives on late Modernist buildings. The primarily black and white architectural images – the small-format photos are taken from historical books, the artist made the large-format ones – are overlaid with glass strips. Framed in dark-stained wood, they are placed where the glass usually and unobtrusively protects the image. Size and placement are variable. They are oriented towards the architectural structures that form the image and optical effects such as the material and semantic intertwining evoked by the cut and use of glass. […] Finally, in the series Passages Marginales, vitreous effects are simulated. Here, Werner’s highly blurred photographs show embassy buildings as if shot through vertically ground glass. […]

Papunya Tula: 50 Years | Michael Reid Berlin | 18.06.-17.07.2021
until 17.07. | #3086ARTatBerlin | Michael Reid Berlin currently presents the exhibition Papunya Tula: 50 Years with works by Australian artists. This exhibition showcases the pioneering Papunya Tula Art Movement; one of the most significant movements in Australian history. This exhibition presents ten artists of Papunya Tula, who have paved the way for Indigenous art to be recognised as the genre-defying significant artform it is understood as today. This exhibition features pieces from various artists across the 5 decade history of the Papunya Tula Arts Movement, which began in 1971 when a school teacher, Geoffrey Bardon, encouraged some of the men from the community to paint a mural on the local school. The following year, 1972, the artists successfully established their own company which is entirely owned and directed by Aboriginal people from the Western Desert. Nanyuma Napangati (born c. 1944), Untitled, 2019, acrylic on linen, 107 x 91 cm The Papunya Tula painting style derives directly from the artists’ knowledge of traditional body and sand painting associated with ceremony. The portrayal of these dreamtime creation stories for the public has required the removal of sacred symbols and the careful monitoring of ancestral designs.

Sophie Erlund | Destined to Protect the Productive | PSM Gallery | 06.07.–22.08.2021
until 22.08. | #3085ARTatBerlin | PSM Gallery shows from 6th July 2021 the exhibition Destined to Protect the Productive with works by the artist Sophie Erlund , as well as the Office of Erbulian Strategies: The 37th Session with Shannon Bool and Sophie Erlund. Within her artistic practice Danish artist Sophie Erlund has been dealing with a continuously enhancing cluster of topics and questions raised by philosophers such as Hannah Arendt, Timothy Morton and Shoshana Zuboff. Erlund’s sculptures, installations, film and sound works are thus informed by her thoughts about the so-called symbiotic real, and a more-than-human perspective in the time of the second modernity individual, and its implications on the psychology of the digital age. Beside new sculptures and assemblages for her fifth exhibition at PSM Sophie Erlund will install the Office of Erbulian Strategies: The 37th Session, a collaborative project with the artist Shannon Bool, staging an installation of furniture objects in a post-Freudian setting. Vernissage: Sunday, 4th July 2021, 12:00 – 6:00 pm Exhibition period: Tuesday, 6th July – Sunday, 22nd August 2021 Image caption: Sophie Erlund, Gentle interdependence 2, 2021, wood, glass, ceramic, concrete, clay, metal, electro-boards, moss, mushrooms, foam, 115 x 115 x […]

Anneliese Grisard | Galerie ART CRU Berlin | 09.07.-14.08.2021
until 14.08. | #3084ARTatBerlin | Galerie ART CRU Berlin shows from 9th July 2021 the first solo exhibition of the artist Anneliese Grisard (*1935), who worked for many years, unnoticed by the general public, in the Open Studio of the Karl Bonhoeffer Mental Hospital. The works were created in the 2000s using famous models from art history. In many years of practice, Grisard developed an expressive style of her own, with which she succeeded in turning each new interpretation into a work of art in its own right. The intensive study led to an active artistic process of looking through and seeing, to the realisation of the essence of Klimt, Matisse, Mondigliani and Co. Precisely, she combines brightly coloured and contrasting colour surfaces in her compositions. Her world of motifs, which includes autonomous works as well as the aforementioned models, consists of a selection of still lifes and depictions of nature, but above all of a broad spectrum of different female figures: Art historical motifs from Art Nouveau or Classical Modernism, such as well-decorated women with hats and fans, headscarves or colourful dresses, a series of strangely enraptured dolls, which she has placed in front of monochrome pictorial backgrounds and […]

Nora Schattauer | Colour and Structure | Galerie Dittmar | 19.06.-21.07.2021 – extended until 28.07.2021
until 28.07. |#3083ARTatBerlin | Galerie Dittmar presents since 19th June 2021 the solo exhibition Farbe und Struktur (Colour and Structure) with paper works from 2008 to 2020 by the artist Nora Schattauer. Nora Schattauer deals with questions of form and pictorial processes that transcend conventional genre boundaries. Drawing and painting, line and colour are suspended in them, but not in the conventional manner of a creative element, but rather the result of mediated, newly tested procedures. The artist works with chemical solutions and mineral salts, which are applied to the paper in a controlled manner, in such a way that an almost regular, constantly varied pattern forms the basic framework. The substances react with the paper, form compounds and are subject to subsequent colour changes. The result is not entirely controllable, but empirical values allow for possibilities of control, whereby the unexpected retains its constitutive function. Structured composition and colourful appearance are indissolubly interwoven, the microscopic variety of forms evokes associations with nature, the pulsation memories of processual procedures. Kupfer 70, 2019, 30 x 20 cm The paintings are stripped of any schematism of grid-like work. Everything seems to be set into slight oscillations, whether it is a matter of […]

KLASSISCH MODERN. Historical and contemporary works by women artists | Salongalerie Die Möwe | 03.07.-09.10.2021
until 09.10. | #3082ARTatBerlin | Salongalerie Die Möwe presents from 3rd July 2021 in the exhibition KLASSISCH MODERN both historical and contemporary works by women artists. The new exhibition “CLASSIC MODERN” follows on from the presentation “The Female Statement”, in which Salongalerie Die Möwe gave an insight into the creative potential of women artists of Classical Modernism in 2019/2020. KLASSISCH MODERN now spans a temporal arc from the Weimar Republic through the post-war period to the immediate present. With this exhibition, “The Seagull” once again directs the focus to women in art, who have often been disadvantaged in art historiography and still have to fight for their recognition on the art market today. The exhibition brings together contemporary art by Ines Doleschal, Ute Hausfeld, Christine Jackob-Marks, Holle Vollbrecht and Caroline Wagner with works by representatives of classical modernism such as Else Hertzer, Katja Meirowsky and Erna Schmidt-Caroll. Paintings, watercolours, drawings, prints and sculptures by these artists illustrate an admirable density and continuity of female creativity in the diversity of subjects and styles.

Tünde Újszászi | Delta | Galerie Pugliese Levi | 08.06.-28.06.2021 (until 08.08.2021 in the shop window)
until 28.06./08.08. | #3081ARTatBerlin | Galerie Pugliese Levi currently shows the solo exhibition with works by the artist Tünde Újszászi. The installation Delta will be on display in the gallery window during the summer break until 8 August 2021. A few more recent works are on view in the gallery until summer holidays (28 June) as a preview of Újszászi’s upcoming solo show in 2022. “The artwork ‘Delta’ symbolises the nature of change. Paper as medium embodies temporality, since objects created from this soft material are constantly changing with the passing of time. Impermanence is its inherent nature. I find it exciting to explore ways of creating textile structures with minimal use of material and equipment. Reimagining seemingly useless objects as sculptural medium only by way of the repetitive structure of weaving.” Tünde Újszászi Delta was made in 2014 out of recycled newspaper and hemp string and has since spent periods of time in the open land and under the elements, acquiring a beautiful patina and surprisingly maintaining its original colours and aspect. The installation has been shown in several exhibitions over the years such as: Kő – Papír – Olló, Rugógyár Gallery, Budapest (2019), Essenceless, Mono Art & Design Gallery, Budapest (2016), YICCA 2014, Synergia Foundation, Lugano Innovation Lab, Switzerland (2014).

Faisal Habibi | Stretch & Fold | Jarmuschek + Partner | 26.06.-18.09.2021
until 18.09. | #3080ARTatBerlin | Jarmuschek + Partner presents from 26th June 2021 the solo exhibition Stretch & Fold with three-dimensional wall works and drawings by the Indonesian artist Faisal Habibi. Under the title Stretch & Fold, Jarmuschek + Partner presents for the first time three-dimensional wall works and drawings by Faisal Habibi in a solo exhibition. In his unique sculptural works, the Indonesian artist deals with space and materiality in a complex way. Their numerous levels oscillate between soothed surfaces, straight edges, and dynamic forms. The objects, made of materials such as Plexiglas, steel and wooden panels, open up a tense dialogue between evenly industrial production and, at times, organic-looking, individual handiwork. The visualization of this process of creation plays a major role: in addition to uniform coloration, irritations such as unintentional voids and gestural traces of color repeatedly appear, which in their brittleness and irregularity seem in a painterly way like pre- or post-stages of perfection, evoke associations and tell of man as creator. In the machine precision, the human warmth is thus transformed into a mirroring consumption – interface.

Etienne Chambaud | Inexistence | Esther Schipper | 03.07.-22.08.2021
until 22.08. | #3079ARTatBerlin | Esther Schipper presents from 3rd July 2021 the solo exhibition Inexistence by the artist Etienne Chambaud. It is the first exhibition of the artist with the gallery. The works included in the exhibition are a scent and a sound installation, a sculptural work generating a pattern of temperatures, three light installations, glass works, bronze sculptures and modified panel paintings. The first work encountered by the visitor is Multiplex, a scent installation invoking familiar spaces but also acting as a subtle disruption. It uses the chemical compounds present both in animal markings and in human environments to create a molecular link between tiger habitat and movie theatre. The work draws on the notion of involuntary memory: the often unconscious association of a place or an experience with a scent. The only light source in the exhibition space is provided by the three works from Chambaud’s series Models for Afar. Between a video screen, a lightbox and a lamp suspended from the ceiling, each work from the series emanates softly modulated light formations as it is programmed to simulate the atmospheric and meteorological light conditions of the sky at a specific time and place. Bathed in a […]

Noa Eshkol | a village, flowers and homages | neugerriemschneider | 01.05.-07.08.2021
until 07.08. | #3078ARTatBerlin | neugerriemschneider currently presents the solo exhibition a village, flowers and homages by the artist Noa Eshkol (1924-2007). This is the artist’s fourth solo exhibition at neugerriemschneider. Bringing together eight rarely seen wall carpets from the 1970s to 1990s by the Israeli artist, choreographer, dancer and professor, the exhibition examines interconnected themes at the heart of Eshkol’s practice; plant life and flowers, village and pastoral views, and the playful homages she paid to art history and other artists. Noa Eshkol, On the Way to the Village (Homage to Derain), 1979 Wool, cotton, rayon, acrylic, polyester, wool gabardine, cotton velvet, crêpe de Chine, 237 x 143 cm © The Noa Eshkol Foundation for Movement Notation, Holon, Israel Courtesy The Noa Eshkol Foundation for Movement Notation, Holon, Israel, and neugerriemschneider, Berlin, Photo by Jens Ziehe Now also celebrated for her vibrant works in textile, which she described as “wall carpets”, Noa Eshkol began her artistic career as a choreographer and movement theorist in the 1950s. In 1954 she founded the Noa Eshkol Chamber Dance Group, based in Holon, Israel, and went on to invent the pioneering Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation to capture and analyze corporeal movement.

At the [erp] the installation “Schmale Anzeige” by the artist Willem Oorebeek is visible since 18th June 2021. Mitchell Anderson Beautiful and Damned It is not normal for me to be a Kennedy. But I am no longer ashamed, no longer alone. I am not alone tonight because we are all Kennedys. And I am your President. “An American Poem” von Eileen Myles Mitchell Anderson, Fortunate Son, 2018 Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Maria Bernheim Photo credits Annik Wetter Portraiture has long been the medium of wealth and privilege. In his new exhibition Beautiful and Damned, Mitchell Anderson puts together an iconic portrait of industrial society and its intricate fictions. The Kennedys—the American political family par excellence—are portrayed by Anderson as both objects of desire and as remnants of an anticlimactic post-war era. His work repeatedly complicates the distinction between art and memorabilia: campaign buttons, cigars from the White House, playing cards, and the photographs from Oliver Stone’s film JFK all walk this line between the two categories. This practice, here represented by works […]

Robert Muntean | The Ecstatic Static | Crone Berlin | 26.06.-20.08.2021
until 20.08. | #3076ARTatBerlin | Crone Berlin presents from 26th June 2021 the solo exhibition The Ecstatic Static by the Austrian artist Robert Muntean. On display are 22 mostly large-format paintings in which the artist undertakes a condensation of his previous works where the body is understood as as an outer shell or cipher of emotion. Muntean was born in 1982 in Leoben, Austria, and has lived in Berlin since 2008. Since his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and Leipzig, he has developed an idiosyncratic painterly style that oscillates between abstraction and figuration. At first glance, both his canvas and paper works give the impression of purely abstract, gestural painting. Only on closer inspection, however, does one discover figurative elements underneath, which are mostly bodies and people, and are often taken from photographs of pop stars or cult figures. In Muntean’s new exhibition The Ecstatic Static, the figures themselves now come to the fore for the first time. They become the defining, immediately recognizable element of the paintings. The abstract, gestural painting style is still visible, but now serves to outline the figures of the bodies and bring them to the fore. Their posture—their being bent, […]

Gian-Martino Cecere | Ritrovamenti Atemporali | re|space gallery | 02.07.-03.09.2021
until 03.09. | #3075ARTatBerlin | re|space gallery shows from 2nd July 2021 the solo show Ritrovamenti Atemporali with a selection of works on canvas and paper by the artist Gian-Martino Cecere. Gian-Martino Cecere’s first solo exhibition Ritrovamenti Atemporali at re|space gallery shows a selection of the artist’s works on canvas and paper. The title of the show, which translates to “Atemporal Artefacts”, alludes to the nature of Cecere’s works. As a whole, the works exhibited may be considered as an archive. This archive being of both personal and collective memory from which the works-as-artefacts have been systematically excavated. Cecere uses collage as a method to reference both a collective past as well as his own cultural history. The forms in Cecere’s works are largely abstracted but interspersed with a number of figurative elements. These figurative elements form an iconography unique to Cecere. Though identifiable as signifiers, it is not clear what exactly these forms refer to. Almost like archeologists attempting to decipher runes, and other markings of ancient civilisations, the observer of Cecere’s works may marvel and speculate at the significance of a slingshot or a citrus slice and their relevance within their abstract surroundings. Beyond the small number of […]

until 29.07. | #3074ARTatBerlin | Galerie feinart berlin shows from 1st July 2021 the solo show Carried by Wind by the artist Maryam Motallebzadeh. Just as the artist was and is a traveler between Orient and Occident, her works are wanderers between cultural identities, languages, places and times Whether painting, ink drawing on paper, installation or film, Maryam Motallebzadeh’s works of art can be understood as a kind of contemporary witnesses – created in the awareness of specific times in life and the influence of specific social and political circumstances that influence the artist’s perception and thinking. This is one of the reasons why traveling and encounters with other cultures have always been an important source of inspiration for finding artistic themes. Maryam Motallebzadeh: Vom Wind getragen © feinartberlin The exhibitions of the native Iranian often have the character of rooms that are filled, like diaries, with notes and with traces of thoughts, feelings and experiences from an eventful life.

Nadia Galbiati + Enrico Pietracci | WIDE ANGLE | Luisa Catucci Gallery | 23.06.-23.07.2021
until 23.07. | #3073ARTatBerlin | Luisa Catucci Gallery presents from 23rd June 2021 the exhibition WIDE ANGLE with works by the sculptor Nadia Galbati and the photographer Enrico Pietracci. Elaborations of urban photographs and sculptural extrapolations of architectural spaces are the protagonists of the exhibition WIDE ANGLES by Italian artists Nadia Galbiati and Enrico Pietracci, hosted in the show rooms of Luisa Catucci Gallery, in Berlin Schillerkiez-Neukölln. Nadia Galbiati, sculptress from Milan, bases her research on the study of angles in contemporary architecture, and their fundamental role to define a physical space, placing the as foundation of the relationship between empty space and material. Her sculptures are the synthetic result of the analytic observation of these angles, in relation to the volumes and lines in urban spaces and architectures – with a predilection for the rational architecture of the 1930s. By reinterpreting the urban landscape and the macro-structures of buildings into sculptures and engraved metal plates of relatively small dimensions, Galbiati creates a new type of space – slightly reminding of El Lissitzky and the Bauhaus and constructivist movements – where the viewer becomes suddenly aware of the Taoist balance between full and empty, solid and aery. Nadia Galbiati “ […]

Elvira Bach + Ingrid Honneth, née Bach | GALERIE SCHMALFUSS BERLIN | 19.06.-17.07.2021
until 17.07. | #3072ARTatBerlin | GALERIE SCHMALFUSS BERLIN will be showing the exhibition MY SISTER AND I, Sensuality from Two Perspectives with works by the artists Elvira Bach and Ingrid Honneth, née Bach, from 19 June 2021. It is the first joint exhibition of the twin sisters. Two icons of art celebrate their birthdays. The twin sisters Elvira Bach and Ingrid Honneth, née Bach, set accents with their art over decades that are not forgotten. But it is only now, on the occasion of their 70th birthdays, that they can be seen together for the first time. Galerie Schmalfuss Berlin is pleased to be able to honour both artists with a top-class exhibition. Both were part of the “Neue Wilden” in Berlin in the 1980s. But their artistic signatures developed very differently. Identical motifs such as high heels, lipstick and ladies’ legs suggest different messages. Ingrid Honneth, Elbeo stocking model legs, 1998, object trouvé with acrylic and hose Elvira Bach became internationally known through the distinctiveness of her colour-intensive, expressive paintings of women. An invitation to the documenta in 1982 marked her artistic breakthrough. Strong women are her major theme, which she repeatedly captures on canvas in large formats with […]

This is the sixth solo exhibiton of the artist with the gallery. In ~ ~ ~~~~~~~v2 the artist shows a selection of new works and creates a homage to nature. The exhibition has its starting point in a presentation originally planned for Gallery Weekend 2020, to which the exhibition title also alludes: After a multitude of impulses, ‘Version Two’ follows. ~ ~ ~~~~~~~v2 is the result of an intensive research and production process that the artist completed last year in the rugged coastal landscape of Northern California. The wall, floor and freestanding works on display draw on a variety of natural phenomena – from falling rain and the iridescent mother-of-pearl of the abalone snail to colours derived from fungi.

Thomas Zipp | Solo Exhibition | Guido W. Baudach | 29.04.-20.06.2021
until 20.06. | #3070ARTatBerlin | Galerie Guido W. Baudach currently shows the exhibition Response to Transient and Steady State Flickering Stimuli with works by the artist Thomas Zipp. This is the ninth solo exhibition of works by the Berlin-based artist with Galerie Guido W. Baudach. The show is conceived as a space-specific overall experience that brings together works of different media such as painting, sculpture and performance in an in-situ installation. Titled Response to Transient and Steady State Flickering Stimuli, Zipp subjects different theories and methods of scientific research into the human perceptual apparatus in relation to mental processes to an artistic experimental test. The gallery becomes a laboratory. Zipp transforms the exhibition space into an organically shaped course through a walk-in room-within-a-room installation, in which the existing walls are overlaid by a continuous, black lacquered boarding. The installative intervention largely dissolves the original spatial structure. The white cube is replaced by an amorphous dark blob. The unfamiliar architecture puts the ability to orient oneself, which is shaped by western design traditions, to the test. The conditioning of self-location in enclosed spaces, fixated on corners and edges, no longer applies. The resulting uncertainty demands a reaction, an adjustment. The audience […]

Ulla von Brandenburg | Solid Earth, Liquid Wind | Meyer Riegger | 29.04.–28.08.2021
until 29.08. | #3069ARTatBerlin | Meyer Riegger currently shows the exhibition Feste Erde, Flüssiger Wind (Solid Earth, Liquid Wind) by the artist Ulla von Brandenburg on the occasion of the Gallery Weekend and the artist’s participation in the group exhibition “Absolute Dance. Women Dancers of the Weimar Republic” in the Georg Kolbe Museum. Ulla von Brandenburg’s artistic oeuvre is marked by the ongoing re-negotiation of the ontological equator between reality and semblance, play and earnest, event and narrative, this life and the life beyond – two worlds that are as much separated as joined by the threshold realm between them. For Ulla von Brandenburg, it is in the nature of this borderland that it does not simply sever and dissociate the things between which it runs, but for that very reason also merges and affiliates them. The threshold realm is the place where separated things are forever in conflict with one another, where they make reference to one another, and where, in the nexus of their neighbourly relationship, each unfolds its own meaning and sense. Alongside her large-format watercolours, Ulla von Brandenburg also deploys coloured fabrics and a multiplicity of stage props so as to create ephemeral situations and intricate […]

until 07.06. | #3068ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin presents from 10th June 2021 the exhibition “ENCORE!” with the artists Maja Behrmann, Birgit Brenner and Raul Walch. ENCORE! In January, we started off the year 2021 with three important exhibitions in our galleries in Leipzig, Berlin and the EIGEN + ART Lab: the first solo exhibitions each by Maja Behrmann and Raul Walch and the premiere of Birgit Brenner’s video “Final Call”, which she produced during her residency at the Villa Massimo in Rome the previous year. Due to the situation at the beginning of the year, all three exhibitions were almost exclusively accessible digitally. Many people have seen the films we produced for the shows. Now that public life is picking up again, it is time to finally be able to experience the three artists and their works physically in the gallery! The Leipzig artist Maja Behrmann will be showing new sculptures, knitted images and, for the first time, photographs. Her works are always graphic and always colour-intensive – sometimes free reductions, sometimes overlapping condensations. Maja Behrmann creates a rehearsal stage for her works, on which the possibilities of the respective relationships are probed for affiliations and demarcations, […]

FRANEK | Ist hier ein Nashorn im Raum? | KLEINERVONWIESE | 01.05.-30.06.2021
until 30.06. | #3067ARTatBerlin | KLEINERVONWIESE currently presents the solo exhibition IST HIER EIN NASHORN IM RAUM? (> IS A RHINON IN THE ROOM?) with works by the artist FRANEK. This is the fourth exhibition at the gallery’s new refuge in the so-called “Triangle” at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin-Mitte. Since the dawn of the Corona Age, which has taken everyone by surprise with its various private and social trials of all kinds, the gallery’s continued activity at Friedrichstrasse 204 has only been possible thanks to the generous offer of this shelter. FRANEK is a painter, draughtswoman and graphic artist. Sculptures, photos, films and recordings complement her work. “She is one of the most imaginative and idiosyncratic visual artists of the present day.” L. Zerull The solo exhibition on the occasion of the Berlin Gallery Weekend 2021 shows, among other things, works from the artist’s Corona Diary. Here and in general, FRANEK nonchalantly puts the old controversy of visibility and perception to the test: when you look at pictures, you see things that are visible and yet exist nowhere else. Every picture carries the paradox of a visible absence. Every picture is a disturbance, an undermining of normality. … Animals, elf creatures, […]

Nina Röder + José Taborda (Gallery) | Masimba Hwati (Salon) | Galerie Eigenheim | 05.06.–10.07.2021
until 10.07. | #3066ARTatBerlin | Galerie Eigenheim presents from 5th June 2021 the exhibition “Champagner im Keller” with photography by the artist Nina Röder as well as the exhibition “wing walking” with installation and objects by the artist José Taborda. Parallel to this, the exhibition “to be continued” by the artist in residence Masimba Hwati as part of the Radio Art Residency Weimar will be shown in the salon. Nina Röder – Champager im Keller When Nina Röder’s grandparents died in 2017, the family had to clear out their house within a week and eventually sell it. Most of the grandparents’ belongings were packed away haphazardly – only a few mementos were deliberately selected and stored in a basement room in Röder’s mother’s house in Windsbach, Bavaria. At the beginning of 2020, the door of this room was opened again for the first time. With an ambivalence of wonder and melancholy, all the objects, furnishings and especially the grandmother’s clothes were examined. In this very basement room, Nina Röder and her mother staged portraits, self-portraits and still lifes with the lifted objects for the camera during the Corona Lockdown, creating a stage for an absurd theatre. The series CHAMPAGNER IM […]

Le saint ennui | Group Show | BQ Berlin | 08.06.–31.07.2021
until 31.07. | #3065ARTatBerlin | BQ Berlin shows from 8th June 2021 the group show Le saint ennui (The holy boredom) with works by the artists Ethan Assouline, Guillaume Dénervaud, Garance Früh and Mona Varichon, curated by Clément Delépine. Le saint ennui was inspired by the central character of Mr. Bougran’s retirement, a novel written in 1888 by the multifaceted French novelist and art critic Joris-Karl Huysmans. Resulting from an open dialogue between four artists whose practices address our normative modes of perception, this exhibition brings together works offering a reflection on the mutability of reality, from a bodily to a societal scale, from a sentimental to a political perspective. In logic, the principle of non-contradiction states that a proposition and its opposite cannot coexist at the same time, or on the same plane. In theory, reality cannot contradict itself. While this principle cannot be demonstrated, Mr. Bougran seems fully determined to refute it. Bougran is a middle-aged civil servant who is unfairly forced into early retirement by the administration he served loyally for a number of years. His dismissal comes with the label “psychological infirmity undetectable by men of the medical art”. Unwilling to accept such dreary fate, and […]

Christiane Schlosser + Peter Riek | Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung | 05.06.-10.07.2021
until 10.07. | #3064ARTatBerlin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung shows from 5th June 2021 a duo exhibition with works by the artists Christiane Schlosser and Peter Riek. CHRISTIANE SCHLOSSER A colourful sound dominates the gallery space in Christiane Schlosser’s exhibition. A ‘sea of colour’ in blue-violet covers the longest wall. She has drawn 90 individual sheets (34 x 24 cm, 2020) line by line in meditative serenity. In each line, she makes a decision to pause before concentrating again on the brush. At times, Christiane Schlosser wants to use colour, but always remains located in her idiosyncratic drawing work. This is clearly revealed when looking closely at other drawings in the exhibition. Works in which it is often only apparent from close up that she has touched the paper with her pencil over a large area in a regular, concentrated manner. In the close observation of her abbreviations, which are often variations on basic geometric shapes, tension dissolves into calm. Her drawn planes continue, absorbing time. Christiane Schlosser Christiane Schlosser, 1960 born in Viernheim, grew up in Mannheim; 1980-82 studied at the HfbK Hamburg; 1983-86 studied at the HdK Berlin; 1989 scholarship from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate […]

The exhibition can be seen offline and online. The personal portraits of the renowned photographer Ingrid von Kruse of four female architects from different generations enter into a poetic dialogue with the large-format photographic prints of the sinking city of Venice allowing the gaze to wander into infinity. Ingrid von Kruse, Venedig, B3 The portraits of the Pritzker Prize winners Zaha Hadid, Kazuyo Sejima, Denise Scott Brown and Mies van der Rohe’s student, Phyllis Lambert, reveal the sensitivity of the artist’s photographic eye and her unwavering interest in people. These portraits were shown at the Architecture Biennale 2014 in Venice in conjunction with the book “Eminent Architects: Seen by Ingrid von Kruse“. Ingrid von Kruse, Eminent Architects, Phyllis Lambert Ingrid von Kruse, Eminent Architects, Zaha Hadid Ingrid von Kruse, Eminent Architects, Denise Scott Brown In an artist’s talk with Ingrid von Kruse, we delve deeper into the messages of these encounters, of which the two large, illustrated volumes bear witness and round off the exhibition: “Eminent Architects: Seen by Ingrid […]

Gilbert & George | THE PARADISICAL PICTURES | Sprüth Magers Berlin | 28.04.-25.08.2021
until 25.08. | #3038ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin presents from 28th April 2021 the exhibition THE PARADISICAL PICTURES with works by the artist duo Gilbert & George. It is the first solo show of the artists in the Berlin gallery. On view are twenty-five largescale works from the artists’ THE PARADISICAL PICTURES (2019) series. The pictures show Gilbert & George wandering through paradisiacal natural worlds filled with mostly expressionistically-hued fruits, flowers, leaves, and trees. Each one is a cosmos in itself; together they form a spectacular vision of paradise that is at once lush and fantastic, with hallucinatory and psychedelic elements. Some works find the artists symbiotically merging with the natural world. BEDWETTING and CURL feature their disembodied eyes, noses, and mouths emerging ghost-like from layers of leaves to gaze piercingly at the viewer. In other pictures, they move—sometimes awkwardly dance—through sumptuous landscapes, as in DATE STONES or TENDER, for example. DATE STONE HEADS and DATE HEADS show Gilbert & George becoming part of the plant kingdom themselves, here in the form of dates and date stones bearing their facial features. The choice of fruit is significant: While dates are associated with sensuality and are said to boost both libido […]

Sandro Botticelli – Madonna with Child
Thanks to Count Atanasius Raczynski one is able to marvel at “Madonna with Child” and eight singing angels by Sandro Botticelli in Berlin. In 1824 he bought the art piece for 2500 francs (for his collection in his art gallery at his palace). A not so well known fact is that his palace was situated […]

Jan Vermeer (van Delft) – Man and Woman drinking Wine

Caravaggio – Cupid as Victor
Caravaggio is said to be the master of light and shade like how his piece “Amor vincit Omnia” or “Cupid as victor” undoubtedly proves. The specific focus was on the use of light and shade causing the painting to seem plastic, showing a naked and winged cupid embodied by a young boy. His pose is […]

Rembrandt van Rijn – Man in a Gold Helmet – from the circle around
In 1897, the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museums-Verein, a sponsor of the Gemäldegalerie Berlin, purchased the masterpiece “Man in a Gold Helmet” as an original work by Rembrandt. Less than 100 years later, in the 1970s, it came to light as part of the “Rembrandt Research Project” initiated in 1968 that the painting was created by someone close to […]
