The art project RESIDENZPFLICHT awards residency scholarships for female artists* in modular accommodation for refugees in Berlin and invites on 24 May 2019 at 5 p.m. to the project presentation of the artist Manaf Halbouni at the end of the 1st residence. RESIDENZPFLICHT is a project of the artist group msk7 and is financed by the Senate Administration for Culture and Europe and the Senate Administration for Urban Development and Housing. For the art project, ten Modular Accommodations for Refugees (MUFs) in Berlin will be extended alternately and temporarily by a mobile module in which ten international scholarship holders* will live and work artistically for one month. The aim of the project is to temporarily open the self-contained refugee shelters to approaches and developments in contemporary art. The German-Syrian artist Manaf Halbouni (*1984, lives in Dresden) refers to current socio-political themes with his works, which are often presented in public space. In conversation with the artists of msk7, he allows the time of his … Read the article further on > DEEDS.WORLD <   Image caption: The Flying Dreams – Foto: Manaf Halbouni RESIDENZPFLICHT- Project Presentation Manaf Halbouni | Contemporary Art – Art Project Berlin – ART at Berlin

until 29.06. | #2483ARTatBerlin | Galerie Wagner + Partner currently presents the exhibition Passpunkt (> Control Point) by the artist Sophia Pompéry. WAGNER + PARTNER is pleased to present Passpunkt (Control Point), the third solo exhibition by the Berlin artist Sophia Pompéry. Following on from previous projects, Pompéry continues her exploration of aesthetics at the intersection of art, physics and philosophy and with astonishing results. Pompéry began this project during a residency in the Swiss mountains where she was inspired by the landscape. What sets a photograph of a mountain panorama apart from that of a valley? Are there objective “truths” for the answer or appraisal? Ultimately, we instinctively trust a camera’s objectivity. The exhibition’s title alludes to the “control points” used in the surveying sector to clearly define an exact location – thus determining its meaning in an overriding sense. In the WAGNER + PARTNER exhibition, Sophia Pompéry explores this concept to absurdity and creates states of suspense through minimal artistic intervention. A photo of a mountain is also that of a valley, a negative becomes a positive, a yes becomes a no … Sophia Pompéry, Himmelsberg 1 (2019), Archiv Pigment Print, 180 x 120 cm, Edition 3+1AP Sophia Pompéry (*1984 […]

until 03.08. | #2482ARTatBerlin| Daniel Marzona presents from 21st June 2019 the solo exhibition Berlin Floater 2019 (after Marfa Floater silver/gold, Marfa, 2019) by the artist Mischa Kuball. Mischa Kuball (born 1959) lives and works in Düsseldorf. He has been working as a conceptual artist in the public and institutional sphere since 1977. He uses light as a medium to explore architectural spaces as well as social discourses, public and private space merge into an indistinguishable whole in politically motivated participation projects. The question of a contemporary definition of public space art  has undergone a substantial change since the 1970s up until our time. Since 2009, Mischa Kuball has developed a series of sitespecific installations entitled ’public preposition’ – a group of works, interventions, projects, and performances made over a period of several decades. What they have in common is that they appeal to a public sphere and implicitly question in what locations and under what circumstances what we mean by “public” is constituted and how it should be understood. In that project series Mischa Kuball reposits the topic oft he oublic space within an extended context. “Preposition” here means words, such as “at/auf”, “among/unter” or “beside/neben” and thereby the relationship between […]

until 24.08. | #2479ARTatBerlin | Salongalerie Die Möwe presents from 6th June 2019 the exhibition Berlin Twice. Pictures of a Divided City . In the 30th year of the fall of the berlin wall our exhibition “Two Times Berlin. Glimpses of a City Divided“ present urban life in East and West Berlin. Through paintings, graphics and drawings renowned Berlin artists from East and West give us impressions of the city’s structures and daily live in the time before the reunification. The artists document the atmosphere of divided Berlin in city views and street scenes portrayed with affectionate or critical and distanced eyes. With the juxtaposition of art works from several decades in both parts of Berlin, this exhibition promises to be a place of exciting encounters. Evelyn Kuwertz, Zur Wannseebahn, 1979, Bleistiftzeichnung auf Karton, 70 x 100 cm Shown are works by Rolf Curt, Wolfgang Frankenstein, Brigitte Fugmann, Dieter Goltzsche, Werner Heldt, Carl-Heinz Kliemann, Matthias Koeppel, Evelyn Kuwertz, Wolfgang Leber, Monika Meiser, Arno Mohr, Otto Möller, Robert Rehfeldt, Wolfgang Reinke, Klaus Roenspieß and Peter Rohn.

until 13.07. | #2447ARTatBerlin | Galerie Judin currently shows the first solo exhibition of the artist Michael Buthe with the gallery entitled Die Tagebücher und Buchobjekte 1963-1994 (> The diaries and book objects 1963-1994). Michael Buthe (1944-1994), whose 75th birthday and 25th anniversary of death are this year, is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling artistic personalities of German post-war art. With his eccentric appearance, his spectacular exhibitions, his commuting between Cologne and Marrakech, his professorship at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and his close friendships to Sigmar Polke, Jürgen Klauke and Blinky Palermo, he is an integral part of German art history. The fact that his life-affirming and color-intensive work is rooted in a conceptual understanding of art and is not exhausted in a carefree, aestheticized reception of the “Orient” is demonstrated by none of his groups of works as forcefully and touchingly as his so-called “diaries”. These artist’s books, which Buthe designed with the means of drawing, painting, collage and assemblage – but hardly with writing and text – not only provide a comprehensive insight into the artist’s entire oeuvre, but also reflect his entire life: his formative youth and study years in Kassel, his open studio in Cologne […]

until 06.07. | #2441ARTatBerlin | BQ Berlin currently shows a solo exhibition by the artist Raphaela Vogel. Three years after her first appearance at Galerie BQ, Raphaela Vogel creates a close-meshed labyrinth of fear that is both a flashback and a gloomy vision. Across three rooms, she networks sound collage, sculpture, video and painting into a surreal odyssey that explores the dark sides of the career dream. Key elements from previous exhibitions return as accumulated fragments and are rearmed and released onto each other. The most feared of her species, the tarantula, captures us between eight cool tentacles and her arachnid body. Hypnotized by spiral-shaped vortices and lulled by the gentle vibration of a cantilever, we witness how bird drives its own retrospective through the ship’s propeller – until all that remains are snippets and shreds. Creation and regression in the designed living room, accompanied by siren-like sounds. A highly potent womb machinery, consisting of the martial set pieces of an untiring culture of experience and performance, attacks us from all sides with female role attributions. In the claustrophobic arena the mother ship fights to the knockout. The artist confronts not only herself, but also the art world with confirmed […]

until 15.06. | #2452ARTatBerlin | Crone Berlin currently shows the exhibition 100 Cuts of the German-Austrian artist Clemens Krauss. We are very pleased to be able to present the “100 Cuts” exhibition by German-Austrian artist Clemens Krauss for Gallery Weekend Berlin. It comprises a hundred oil paintings in the same format, painted with Krauss’ typical paste-like methods of application and showing “closeups” of male and female sexual organs. With the “100 Cuts” project, Krauss, whose work often connects with political, cultural and social contexts, presents the problems of a topic that is both sensitive and taboo: religious/ritually-motivated infringement of the integrity of the human body. In his images, he shows no more and no less than the surgical removal, usually carried out on minors, of parts of the sexual organs: the circumcision of the penis or the generally more severe procedures, rightly considered mutilation, performed on the female genitalia. The word “cut” here takes on two meanings: the sectioning of the image and the incision into the body. The close detail of the sections gives vivid insight into the intimate parts of the human body. The actual cutting that has taken place remains unclear in many of the works. However, […]

until 18.08. | #2478ARTatBerlin | me Collectors Room Berlin and the Schloss Caputh currently show the exhibition B.A.R.O.C.K.. With “B.A.R.O.C.K.” the Wunderkammer of me Collectors Room Berlin (27.04. – 18.08.2019) and Schloss Caputh of the Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten Berlin – Brandenburg (04.05. – 31.10.2019) present artistic interventions by Margret Eicher, Luzia Simons, Rebecca Stevenson and Myriam Thyes. The two exhibitions conceived by Margret Eicher and Mark Gisbourne are based on the perception of cultural symptoms that characterise our current psychopolitical situation in a globalised world and were at the same time particularly effective in the Baroque era. Similar to the 17th century, today we also experience complex social, religious and political upheavals that correlate with each other and in recent years have condensed into an apocalyptic sense of the world. Margret Eicher, Boundery 1, 2019,  Print auf halbtransparenter Folie, aplliziert auf Vitrinenglas,  © VG Bild Kunst Bonn 2019 In the Baroque era, art provided a visualisation of this feeling of world and life in a way that is still haunting and captivating today. Baroque and contemporary art draw their power from overcoming the normative in content and aesthetics and in playing with the limits of the representable. The […]

until 29.06. | #2449ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler currently shows the solo exhibition Who We Are by the artist Adam Pendleton at the gallery rooms Bleibtreustraße. Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to announce Who We Are, with new work by Adam Pendleton in both its Berlin locations: Bleibtreustraße 45 and Goethestraße 2/3. This will be Pendleton’s first exhibition with the gallery. Between 1979 and 1980, Julius Eastman composed Evil Nigger, Crazy Nigger, and Gay Guerrilla. In each work, four parallel pianos hammer pulsed, repetitive lines. Each piano comes in and out of synchronization. 1, 2, 3, 4! In Adam Pendleton’s newest video portrait, Ishmael in the Garden: A Portrait of Ishmael Houston-Jones (2018), dancer and choreographer Ishmael Houston-Jones relates a series of memories: “I remember picking out the dress my mother wore at her funeral. I remember not liking the taste of milk that came right from the cows. I remember falling in and out of love. I remember…I remember censoring myself.” “Who we are” posits a subject of enunciation in the first person plural. The refrain echoes Just Back from Los Angeles: A Portrait of Yvonne Rainer (2016–17), in which Pendleton had asked dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer to recite a list of recollections from a letter written […]

until 21.06. | #2457ARTatBerlin | Peres Projects currently presents the exhibition ultrapath by the artist Beth Letain. It is Beth Letain’s second solo exhibition at the gallery, opening on the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin, 2019. Beth Letain’s monumentally scaled paintings are adamantly, absurdly honest about what they are: brightly colored stripes, squares, stacks, and slabs suspended across impossibly weightless white grounds. These are lively and quotidian forms, easily named but stubbornly resistant to description. In their simplicity, their unassuming thematic variations, these works hold up a mirror to painting’s modernist past. Reflected in them we can see Malevich’s quest to materialize the immaterial, to make color float in an imagined infinite; also echoed is Gertrude Stein’s strict assurance that there is no repetition, only insistence. The ghosts of the old guard are here, represented by the material directness of the paintings and the painter’s curiosity about the operations of vision, about how almost nothing may be built into absolutely something. But these engagements of modernist problem solving, modernist rigor, and modernist entanglement with material and form have refused the self-seriousness that defines that canon. Letain makes paintings that are both top-heavy and weightless, guffawing and full of grace. These […]

until 27.07. | #2459ARTatBerlin | Klosterfelde Edition currently presents the exhibition Prototypes and Multiples by the artist Jorinde Voigt. In her exhibition at Klosterfelde Edition, Jorinde Voigt, who has mainly drawn in large format up to now, experiments with spatial explorations of her investigations of perception and epistemological questions, which have so far mostly been written in two dimensions. On display are prototypes and multiples that do not present themselves as hermetically sealed works of art distanced from the viewer, but play with questions of functionality and integrability in everyday life in their potential usefulness, yet which superficially represent artistic confrontations with themes such as the spectrum of action, proportion and stability. As such, they mark a transfer of Voigt’s drawing practice into a spatially open formal language, which opens up new possibilities for the development and experience of the concepts behind it.

until 01.06. | #2436ARTatBerlin | Galerie Barbara Thumm currently presents the solo exhibition Unweit von Dir (> not far from you) by the artist Anne-Mie van Kerckhoven. .THE END OF AN INVESTIGATION / LET ME BEGIN / TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE APPEAL OF SCIENTIFIC REALISM / IN WORKING MY WAY THROUGH […]. Schriftdetail aus dem Werk „Reflections Going Down with the Sun”, 2013. Taking a look at a text fragment chosen by Anne-Mie van Kerckhoven (AMVK) in one of her works, is an attempt – doomed to failure – to come close to an understanding of the fundamentally unsubsumable nature of her artistic modes of expression. „In working my way through [the investigation]“, precisely this fragment of a passage is what arouses my interest today. In the past, AMVK‘s work has been dissected, examined and categorised from numerous angles, mostly from a bird‘s eye view. The explanations of content (technological-digital impetus, mysticism and female intelligence, Leibnizian refraction of nature to mathematical logic, neuroscientific machine knowledge) and methods (Eisenstein-filmic and medieval dissolution of linearities, excessive demand strategies, narratives of literary cut-ups and fold-ins of Burroughs and Gysins) helped us to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this extraordinary work. It encompasses all […]

until 15.06. | #2445ARTatBerlin | Galerie Michael Haas currently shows the solo exhibition by the artist Abraham David Christian. „… it sounds paradoxical, but I would like it if one were to forget the exterior of my sculptures, disregard it in order to reach the core that cannot be seen.“ – Abraham David Christian Exploring the relationship between fragility and stability is one of Abraham David Christian’s (*1952 in Ulm) main artistic concerns. From drawings to plaster and paper sculptures to massive bronze and iron sculptures, he has created works that are defined by equilibrium and balance. The sculptures cannot be interpreted; instead they must be experienced and sensed, reflecting a spirit that unites something deeply human everywhere around the world. Christian has been a traveler since his youth, has absorbed the landscapes and cultures in India, the Middle East, Japan, Europe and North America, and for years he has incorporated these decades of impressions and influences in his art in his studios in Düsseldorf, New York and Hayama in Japan. Christian exhibited as the youngest participant at the documenta 5 (1972) and at the documenta 7 (1982). His first solo exhibition was in 1973 at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf followed […]

until 29.06. | #2472ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie presents from 11th May 2019 the exhibition Material by the photographer Tobias Kruse. “Material” was published at Kerber Verlag  November 2018. The series includes narratives, notes and observations from the past ten years, in which Tobias Kruse has produced images that translate a mood, a sense of life into an authentic visual language. “In recent years, Tobias Kruse has captured the unspeakable moments of life: the shape of an object, the certainty of impending injuries, the birth of children and happiness on their skin,” wrote Laura Benz on the occasion of the book’s publication. “Many call the work a diary, but of course that’s not what it is”, says Tobias Kruse. “It’s miniatures, a condensate.” Material #082, Archival Pigment Print Material #004, Archival Pigment Print Tobias Kruse was born in 1979 in Mecklenburg. He studied photography with Prof. Ute Mahler at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie and attended the masterclass of Prof. Arno Fischer. Since 2011 he is a member of the agency OSTKREUZ.

until 01.06. | #2446ARTatBerlin | Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin currently presents the exhibition Dystopia by the artist Martin Eder. The Devil holds the strings that move us! In repugnant things, we discover charms; Every day we descend a step further toward Hell, Without horror, through gloom that stinks. Charles Baudelaire, from the Foreword to Les Fleurs du Mal, 1857-1866. Oil slicks and seas of plastic, poison gas bombs and aerial attacks, data theft and surveillance – the world is going under as we watch. The future? A bleak scenario. Martin Eder’s painting series is positioned in this dystopian overall mood. As a counter-vision to the optimistic but unrealistic no-place of utopia, his dystopia has long since come into being; his pictorial world has taken it in, quietly and subversively. The bleakness does not manifest itself as a black apocalypse, not as destruction or purgatory, but conceals itself in the violet sky, in neon lamps and concrete ruins, in wrecked cars instead of dead nature. With the stylistic means and motifs of dystopian fiction – whether Orwell’s 1984 or Matrix – Martin Eder creates a feeling, a light, into which he plunges his pictures. It shifts between isolation and repression, […]

until 27.07. | #2448ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin currently shows the exhibition HAUS by the artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss. Sprüth Magers is pleased to present HAUS, a solo exhibition by Fischli Weiss, the Swiss artist duo known since the 1980s for their films including Der geringste Widerstand (The Least Resistance) and ambiguous sculptural everyday objects. At the core of this new exhibition is Haus (House), a work Peter Fischli and David Weiss first developed for Skulptur Projekte Münster in 1987 and subsequently showed in exhibitions at the Guggenheim Museum, New York and Museo Jumex, Mexico City (2016). An aluminum version of the work was permanently installed in Zurich last year. This exhibition focuses on the architectural reference system at the heart of the artists’ work with a selection of sculptures and archival material. © Peter Fischli / David Weiss, Zürich 2019 Haus was preceeded by a model-like sculpture with the same form that took aspects of the sketch and model as its subject matter. The artists continued to develop their interest in everyday architecture and brought the sculpture back to the public sphere for Münster. Nestled in an unpretentious area far from the usual tourist attractions, passersby heading to work identified it as […]

until 25.05. | #2473ARTatBerlin  | Galerie Eigenheim shows from 24 April 2019 an exhibition with painting and drawing by the artist Enrico Freitag. ENRICO FREITAG In his paintings, drawings and graphics Enrico Freitag reflects fundamental and contemporary aspects of human civilization. In anthological series, he devotes himself to various phenomena of socially relevant themes, until a complex connection arises between the artist‘s various groups of works. An intellectual starting point and at the same time a recurring motif, which also proves to be an inspiration for the artist‘s other subjects, can be seen in the series entitled „LabOra“. With this title, a phrase derived from the Benedictine order „Ora et Labora“ (pray and work), the artist leads us into a world of work that is also shaped by an almost contemplative aura and yet deep immerse into an active Fordist dystopia of mass production. Work is neither heroized nor criticized by the artist, but considered neutral and as a logical component of civilization and society.

until 14.07. | #2443ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kremers presents from 3rd May 2019 the exhibition The New Abstract – An Atlantic Bridge – USA – BERLIN with artworks by Jonni Cheatwood, Taylor A. White, Robert Szot, Alan Neider, Taher Jaoui, Jenny Brosinski, Gregor Hiltner and Christian Achenbach. Who would have guessed that social media built portable bridges? Thanks to Instagram the artist and curator Gregor Hiltner discovered a variety of new American abstract painters who, with refreshing creative freedom in technique and composition, continue the great tradition of abstract American painting by giving them – each in their own way – an individual twist. This group of American painters corresponds to a number of Berlin-based painters who follow similar paths. It is not surprising that these artists all feel at home with social media and that, therefore, they know and appreciate one another. Their common ground, to be found both in tradition and in the shared experience of a globalized world with international markets, serves as base from which these artists have set off in different directions.

until 29.05. | #2470ARTatBerlin | Galerie Martin Mertens presents from 23rd April 2019 the exhibition body dialogue by the artists Robert Bosisio and Gregor Gaida. In 2015, we already confronted the works of the South Tyrolean painter Robert Bosisio (*1963) with the work of another artist. At that time the dialogue between the expressive figure paintings of the Romanian Radu Belcin took place and today they come into contact with the wooden figures of the sculptor Gregor Gaida (*1975), whose work we show for the first time in the gallery. A striking object in the room is the sculpture Apheirophobia (the fear of infinity) – a work that does not reveal its secret at first glance. Only when one circles it does one discover that it is a male muscular back that is exactly mirrored three times. The work stands between the human body and abstraction. The human body is penetrated by geometric elements. Organic and geometry, nature and culture enter into a connection from which an independent object emerges.
