On 23.01.2020 the Käthe Kollwitz Prize 2020 will be awarded to Timm Ulrichs in a public ceremony and exhibition opening. In the year of his 80th birthday, the Academy of Arts will honour the Berlin-born artist for his life’s work, which to this day remains a treasure trove and source of inspiration for subsequent generations of artists. The exhibition “Weiter im Text” will be shown from 24.01. to 01.03.2020 at the Academy of Arts (Hanseatenweg). The self-proclaimed total artist Timm Ulrichs works tirelessly, far from the centres of the art world, in a wide variety of genres. His wealth of ideas does not pursue an overall concept; rather, he searches for originality in each and every idea. The exhibition Weiter im Text (Continue in the Text), highlights the relationship in his work between language and … Read the article further on DEEDS.WORLD   Image caption: Akademie der Künste, Hanseatenweg – Photo: Timo Ohler

From February 1 to March 31, 2020, the Berlin aquabitArt Gallery presents the installation Breathless by the artist collective Numen/For Use. The exhibition is curated by the gallerist and architect Irina Ilieva. The Croatian-Austrian art collective Numen/For Use is a continuous collaboration between designers and scenographers Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković. Within the framework of Breathless exhibition Numen/For Use posit conceptual and mechanistic models derived from their large scale set-design projects and installation works. Both models expand the experimental field of the initial objects by introducing an element of life-like processes and rhythms, manifested through an orchestrated interval of movement and counter movement – a structural “breathing”. This intervention turns formerly static designs into dramaturgical sequences which are now perceived differently, once observed in a loop of … Read the article with all informations further on DEEDS.WORLD   Vernissage: Saturday, 1st February 2020, 7:00 – 10:00 pm Ausstellungsdaten: Saturday, 1st February – Saturday, 31st March 2020, Opening hours: Friday + Saturday, 2:00 – 8:00 pm and by arrangement   Image caption: Foto © Numen/For Use Exhibition […]

until 07.03. | #2676ARTatBerlin | Galerie ART CRU Berlin presents from 7th February 2020 the exhibition DIVERSITÉ with artworks by Caroline Crozat. On 06.02.2020, CAROLINE CROZAT will open the first exhibition of the gallery ART CRU this year after an involuntary break of over three months.  Due to a water damage the gallery had to close the doors temporarily since 04.11.2019. The non-profit gallery for art by people with disabilities and psychiatric experience was severely affected by the damage. After the great shock and weeks of clean-up work, the gallery is now looking into an uncertain future and is currently focusing on compensating the artists appropriately for the damage caused and at the same time resuming exhibition operations. Galerie ART CRU Berlin shows paintings by French artist Caroline Crozat in her first solo exhibition in Germany. O.T., 2014-2018 The intensive painting in partly large formats challenges the viewer and allows the experience of the special way of expression of a multidisciplinary artist. The “Neo-Expressionist” Crozat studied painting at the École des Beaux-Arts de Metz, is a self-taught musician and author who loves cultural diversity. In the exhibition there are about 20 paintings in acrylic on canvas. They show intense compositions […]

until 29.02. | #2673ARTatBerlin | Galerie Max Hetzler shows from 17th January 2020 the exhibition Advertisement For A Better World by the French artist duo Tursic & Mille in the gallery rooms Goethestraße. (The exhibition description is currently only available in German.) “Painting cannot be a fxed and patented gesture. It must be alive, refexive, in perpetual motion. Painting must be open to all the potentials ofered by its practice. Painting must be opportunistic and must keep self-awareness.” – Tursic & Mille The work of artist duo Tursic & Mille expresses a deep engagement with today’s forms of image representation and a sustained interest in what the medium of painting can be today. The artists bring together an awareness of art history with a wide spectrum of anonymous imagery, including flm scenes, pornography, fowers, landscapes, and animals, which they collect from various media. Often alienated by overlapping layers of paint or interrupted by abstract patterns their paintings and sculptures deal with the manipulation, re-utilisation and disappearance of images, especially in the current age of endless visual data replication. In their second solo exhibition at Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin, Tursic & Mille present a selection of new canvases and cut out […]

until 29.02. | #2672ARTatBerlin | Galerie Born Berlin presents from 17th January 2020 the exhibition Breathless with drawings by the artist Gilgian Gelzer.  Gilgian Gelzer, born 1951 in Bern, has lived and worked in Paris for over 30 years. There he held a professorship for drawing and painting at the “Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris” until his retirement last year. o.T., 2017, Buntstift auf Papier, 30 x 21 cm The exhibition title “Breathless” stands for the seemingly endless lines on Gelzer’s works, which literally take your breath away. o.T., 2017, Buntstift auf Papier, 30 x 21 cm In the cabinet of the gallery, 5 drawings by the French artist Daniel Schlier will be on display. Schlier, born 1960 in Dannemarie, France, lives and works in Strasbourg and Paris. In Paris he follows after Gilgian Gelzer at the “Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris”.

until 22.02. | #2669ARTatBerlin | Esther Schipper shows from 17th January 2020 the exhibition Ku Lak by the artist Matti Braun. Esther Schipper is pleased to announce Ku Lak, Matti Braun’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition will include 16 works from a new series of silk paintings and approximately 25 new glass works, the latter presented on three circular plinths designed by the artist. Matti Braun’s practice is characterized by a constant negotiation between concrete references and general allusions, between poetic ephemerality and an uncanny sense of visceral immediacy. His work investigates the unexpected, often little known, effects of cross-cultural dynamics, making visible patterns of artistic migrations and cultural misrecognitions. Since 2014 Matti Braun has developed silk works of seamless color gradations in brilliant pastels and subsequently in deeply saturated bright color combinations. The new silks-with their progressions of light and dark greys-constitute a culmination of this series. Braun returns to the limitations of a black and white color scheme explored in his early batiks but with the luxuriance of his recent series on smooth, finely woven silk.

until 29.02. | #2668ARTatBerlin | Bermel von Luxburg Gallery presents from 23rd January 2020 the exhibition Winter Salon with works by the artists Uli Fischer, Jean Dunand, Jean-Michel Frank, Alfred Porteneuve and E. J. Ruhlmann. In the cabinet Arndt Kaestner will be shown.

until 21.02. | #2665ARTatBerlin | Luisa Catucci Gallery shows from 18th January 2020 the exhibition In Absence Of Binary Oppositions with works by the artists Elena Monzo and William Grob. “Post Anarchism is an anarchism understood not as a certain set of social arrangements, or even as a particular revolutionary project, but rather as a sensibility, a certain ethos or way of living and seeing the world which is impelled by the realization of the freedom that one already has.”” Saul Newman The work of the young Swiss-British artist William Grob, and the work of the Italian artist Elena Monzo are both distinguished by rough technique and a very peculiar aesthetic. Even if coming from different cultural backgrounds and slightly different generations, both artists seems to look at the world with the same lenses, where the rules of binary opposition is willingly unaccepted. The binary opposition is the structuralist idea that acknowledges the human tendency to think in terms of opposition. With this categorization, terms and concepts tend to be associated as positive or negative. Derrida, the father of Deconstruction, argued that these oppositions were arbitrary and inherently unstable, the structures themselves begin to overlap and clash and ultimately they […]

until 22.02. | #2664ARTatBerlin | Galerie Pugliese Levi shows from 11th January 2020 the exhibition Varying ideas of Almost with works by the artist Shawn Stipling. Galerie Pugliese Levi is pleased to present the first solo show in Berlin by British artist Shawn Stipling. At first glance the paintings of Shawn Stipling appear almost machine made, the precision of the lines and seemingly industrial surfaces belie their intensely hand made production. But looking more closely, beyond these initial impressions, we start to see that all is not as we first thought. The measurements are ‘off’ – more random than mathematical, elements are sometimes slightly skewed, lines do not meet edges where we somehow feel they should. We are being asked to look more closely, to slow down, to step forward, and in doing so, we begin to see the true identity of these works emerge. You and your friends are kindly invited to attend the opening in the presence of the artist on Friday, January 10, at 18:00.   ­ Vernissage: Friday, 10th January 2020, 6 p.m., the artist is present Exhibition period: Saturday, 11th January – Saturday, 22th February 2020   Image caption: Shawn Stipling, # 206 – Vertical […]

until 07.03. | #2661ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie presents from 11th January 2020 the exhibition Book Stories by the Dutch photographer Bertien van Manen. Bertien van Manen, an icon of documentary photography, will be honored with an extensive retrospective exhibition in her hometown of Amsterdam at Stedelijk Museum in spring. Coinciding with this large museum show, Robert Morat Gallery is pleased to be able to present a survey show titled “Book Stories” in Berlin. Lake Baïkal, Campsite 1993, from the series “Let’s sit down before we go” 25,3 x 35 cm, C-Print, Ed. of 10 + 2 AP’s Throughout her career, renowned Dutch photographer Bertien van Manen (*1942, The Hague) has been known for her publications. Her first two photo books, “One Hundred Summers, One Hundred Winters” (De Verbeelding, Amsterdam, 1994) and “East Wind, West Wind” (De Verbeelding, Amsterdam, 2001), have established her reputation as an artist and uncompromising documentarist; today both are rare, sought-after collectibles on the photobook market. The book project “Give Me Your Image” (Steidl, Göttingen, 2006) led to great international recognition and solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich, the Fine Arts Museum in Boston or […]

until 25.04. | #2660ARTatBerlin | 68 projects shows from 24th January 2020 the exhibition DIE LANDSCHAFT FÄNGT AN, WO DER DER MENSCH AUFHÖRT (> THE LANDSCAPE BEGINS WHERE MAN ENDS) with works by the artist Oliver Westerbarkey. Artists are the spokespeople of our times and can play a crucial role in provoking conversations and challenging the status quo. Throughout history we have seen time and time again an attempt by humankind to control nature, much as depicted in the Baroque gardens of the late-16th century who’s geometric treatment of gardens depicted the power of man over nature. So in 2020 we start our first exhibition at 68projects with Oliver Westerbarkey who instead communicates within his work that nature can exist without humankind, and it is in fact humans who cannot exist without a relation to their surroundings. What Westerbarkey has created, dioramas made of natural materials such as dirt and plants, is an analogue representation much like augmented reality – existing in the physical world wherein what is most alive in the work is actually the most artificial. The experience of real-world environments here is seen through the perceptual distortion of real objects instead of computer-generated perceptual information. Westerbarkey’s works […]

until 19.03. | #2657ARTatBerlin | Migrant Bird Space shows from 17th January 2020 the exhibition CHINA FEVER with artworks by the photographers Luo Yang, Lin Zhipeng (No. 223) and Ren Hang. Chinese photographers Luo Yang, Lin Zhipeng (aka. No. 223) and Ren Hang portray a Chinese subculture that defies imposed expectations and stereotypes. Their depictions of a conflicted,hedonistic youth are an autobiographical portrayal of their own generation in urban China: playful, provocative and daring, often imbued with a dark, repressed mysticism. Although each of them has a distinct style and individual artistic language, their works commonly revolve around questions of adolescence and adulthood, individuality and self-expression. Raw, intimate and direct, their portraits are intense accounts of the private lives of their friends and peers. Luo Yang, No. 223 and Ren Hang, whose suicide shook the art-world in early 2017, are known as the ‘80’s artists’, exploring the life and mindset of China’s urban youth. Their photographic styles alternate between spontaneous snapshot aesthetics and stylised images with often surreal compositions, involving bodies and limbs entangled in play, lots of nude skin, contrasted with brightly coloured props, hairs, red lips and nails. Their work reflects a deep fascination with life’s oscillation between […]

until 22.02. | #2656ARTatBerlin| Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung shows from 10th January 2020 the exhibition Lichtungen – Gewichtungen with works by the artist Kazuki Nakahara. Kazuki Nakahara’s close-meshed, linear networks – drawn with crayon over large-format paper – attract a great deal of attention. Signs that at first glance cannot be deciphered are woven into his mostly horizontally flowing, often overlapping line worlds. These in turn open up into long, rambling structural formations with linear condensations, which atmospherically play around light zones and currents. Patterns of movements are explored in interaction and opposition, in collision or disappearance on levels of the surface newly conquered by him. A remarkable cosmopolitanism is spread out graphically on the white papers. On 6 November 2019 the artist was awarded the XII. Egmont Schaefer Prize for Drawing from the Berliner Kabinett e.V. (Winner exhibition in cooperation with Galerie Parterre Berlin from 8 May to 28 June 2020). o.T., 2019, Farbstift auf Papier, 124 x104 cm Kazuki Nakahara, born 1980 in Kagawa/Japan; 2000-05 studies at Yokohama City University; 2005-10 studies at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee; 2010/11 master student of Hanns Schimansky; awards (selection) 2017 “Christine Perthen Prize for Etching”, Berlinische Galerie, Berlin; 2013/14 study […]

until 22.02.| #2653ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte presents from 18th January 2020 the group exhibition Haptic Feedback with artworks by nine different artists. As the first exhibition in the New Year, Galerie Thomas Schulte presents a group exhibition featuring works by nine artists who explore our changing perceptions of reality, identity, and a shift in mental space. Haptic Feedback deals with the changing psychological relationship to physical space and our sense of belonging and touch under the influence of digital technologies. The exhibition was developed in collaboration with the Philadelphia-based artist of the gallery, David Hartt. Participating artists: WALEAD BESHTY, DAVID HARTT, CAROLYN LAZARD, MARIA LOBODA, IÑIGO MANGLANO-OVALLE, JEAN-LUC MOULÈNE, MICHAEL MÜLLER, JULIA PHILLIPS, WILMER WILSON IV Vernissage: Friday, 17 January 2020, 7:00 – 9:00 pm Ausstellungsdaten: Saturday, 18th January – Saturday, 22nd February 2020   Image caption: David Hartt / Negative Space, 2019 / tapestry, 290 x 515 cm | 114 1/4 x 202 3/4 in Exhibition Haptic Feedback – Galerie Thomas Schulte | Zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin | Contemporary Art | Exhibition Berlin Galleries | ART at Berlin

until 01.02. | #2652ARTatBerlin | Kristin Hjellegjerde Berlin presents from 14th December 2019 the exhibition “Transcendental”, a show by the artist Sadikou Oukpedjo. Mysterious half-man, half-animal beings appear on the canvas in surreal, seemingly mythological scenes. Togolese artist Sadikou Oukpedjo presents a stunning new series of paintings for his solo exhibition Transcendental at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery Berlin. Through visually raw and dynamic imagery, the Ivory Coast-based artist explores existence following the belief that man was first created as a hybrid being. Oukpedjo believes that human beings were originally fused with animal forms, while at the same time remaining conscious of their humanity. Thus, the human possesses a kind of dual consciousness as well as a complex physicality that goes beyond our conventional understanding of the human form. It is man’s separation from the animal being that has and continues to preoccupy the artist, who claims that this perceived ‘liberation’ is, in fact, the cause of violence and conflict in the human world. Through his artistic practise, Oukpedjo seeks to better understand the consequences of this severing, a process that he calls self-induced and describes as a perverse kind of cannibalism: ‘Like the female animal that eats its placenta, man feeds […]

until 31.01. | #2648ARTatBerlin | me Collectors Room Berlin is currently showing an exhibition by Gerhard Richter with portraits from the Olbricht Collection. Gerhard Richter has secured an international reputation as one of the most important and successful German artists of current times. The exhibition’s focus is also on human images – one of the central themes of Richter’s editioned works since the 1960s. Both photographs from his family photo album and press photos of famous personalities (Mao, Elisabeth) serve as models for Richter’s exploration of artistic techniques. At the same time, he draws on some of his painted portraits and portraits (Ema (Akt auf einer Treppe), Onkel Rudi), which he subsequently reproduces as prints or photographs. A prominent example of this approach are Richter’s 48 Portraits, which are shown as an edition in the me Collectors Room. The painterly models were shown in 1972 in the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Although most famous for his paintings, over the last few years his editions have also increasingly become the focus of attention. The Olbricht Collection is the only institution worldwide that owns Richter’s editions in their entirety and can thus depict his oeuvre over a period of five […]

until 30.11. | #2645ARTatBerlin | Michaela Helfrich Galerie presents from 30th November 2019 the exhibition Angezettelt … with painings and monotypes by the artist Tina Engel. Tina Engel, Tiergarten The beginning of a canvas is the drawing of the longitudinal threads on the loom, which are called slips of paper. A new piece of fabric begins when it is warped. A play begins when the actor appears and imagines something into the room that is only visible through him and disappears again when he leaves the stage. An image begins when it leaves the painter and finds itself. Many a large text (textile !) begins on a small, empty piece of paper. A few longitudinal threads, an empty stage, the white canvas, the empty piece of paper, nothing more. One does not draw from the fullness, but from nothing. Tina Engel, Ohne Käppchen „When I paint I can see myself walking around the corner I am painting, then the corner takes over the scene.“ Tina Engel Tina Engel, born. 1950, Actress and director, Schauspielhaus Zurich and Düsseldorf, Schaubühne Berlin, Renaissance Theater Berlin Vernissage: Friday, 29th November 2019, 6:00 to 9:00 pm Exhibition period: Saturday, 30th November 2019 to Thursday, 30th […]

until 11.01. | #2644ARTatBerlin | Galerie Friedmann-Hahn currently presents the solo exhibition Sirens and Tamaschowskys by the artist Marc Taschowsky with paintings and objects between Superflat, Pop, Trash & Comic. “Ich benutze Motive, die bereits da sind. Das ist natürlich einerseits Pop Art, andererseits ist es komplett Zeitgeist, es ist Hip Hop.” – Marc Taschowsky Pop Art, Post-Pop, Neo-Dadaism, Surrealism, Punk, Comic, Camp, Superflat – Marc Taschowsky works between and within these various movements. He samples fragments of paintings, creating collages of tonal layers, using lettering. It’s a wild game involving set pieces from advertising, merchandise and consumer society. In his fifth solo exhibition “Sirens and Tamaschowskys” in the GALERIE FRIEDMANN-HAHN his paintings and magical creatures are created from commercials and the waste of our throwaway society. His paintings show monsters from science fiction films, like Jabba the Hutt’s bodyguards from “Star Wars”, cavort alongside a girl playing the cello; there’s a Super Mario character peeping out somewhere else, a Pokémon flying across the picture, a Toucan pops its head out from among some greenery and there are hummingbirds flying all over, while beetles crawl along and fish float past. “In my paintings, I play. It’s the ironic; the funny; the mischievous; the crazy that […]

until 18.01. | #2641ARTatBerlin | drj art projects shows from 28th November 2019 the group exhibition PROOF of CONCEPT with selected artworks by 36 international artists. At the end of the particularly intensive exhibition year 2019, drj will display a selection of works by leading artists from its long–standing programme, as an Accrochage from its existing inventory. In addition, new works as well as individual additional positions will be integrated into the exhibition as a +. In this way, the continuity of the artistic and content driven orientation of the programme is both underscored and an outlook for the future will be given. The exhibition title PROOF of CONCEPT has two meanings: on the one hand, works of art from drj‘s artistic programme, specifically composed to form an overall picture, are juxtaposed in the main and side rooms of Esther Stocker‘s Anarchy of Forms, an installation that will remain in place in the entrance space of drj. This allows the audience to put these spaces in relation to each other and – through the new contextualization of the spaces to each other – to experience their own view and personal perception of space anew, possibly also in comparison with the […]

until 18.12. | #2637ARTatBerlin | Anaid Art Gallery presents from 22nd November 2019 the pop up solo exhibition Disclosure of Romance by the artist Radu Rodideal in the premises of the gallery K90. Anaid Art Gallery and K90 are pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by the Romanian artist Radu Rodideal (b. 1986) titled “Disclosure of Romance”, curator Diana Dochia, Ph.D.. The opening will take place on Thursday, 21st of November 2019, between 18:00 – 21:00 h, Knesebeckstrasse 90, 10623 Berlin. The exhibition will be part of the Charlottenwalk event from Friday, 22nd of November, when the gallery will be opened until 21:00 h. The new series of artworks on display signed by Radu Rodideal will gather 15 (fifteen) paintings, created in the last year. Radu Rodideal is interested in the theme of romanticism in art and in the way of how romanticism can be reproduced and reinterpreted today, in a society, where the absence of feelings has become a norm. In romanticism, the feelings triggered the drama, they were a product of rivalry and jealousy, an idealization of the other. After the sexual revolution of the 1960s, romanticism becomes something “outdated”, feelings fade in the face of the sexual […]

until 21.11. | #2636ARTatBerlin | Galerie Michael Haas shows from 22nd November 2019 an exhibiiton with the artists Hans Uhlmann and Günter Umberg. In an extensive exhibition, Galerie Michael Haas confronts sculptures and drawings by Hans Uhlmann (1900-1975) with paintings by Günter Umberg (*1942). A strict, intensively densifying abstraction, which at the same time testifies to an incredibly sensitive handling of the possibilities of drawing and painting, characterizes the two very distinct artistic positions: the late sculptures and drawings of the time around 1960 by Hans Uhlmann and the monochrome works by Günter Umberg, which seem to float in front of the wall surface and which were created in recent years. Uhlmann, who studied engineering in Berlin, turned to sculpture as a young man. Geometric bodies, partly completely abstract, partly in strongly simplified configurations of iron or wire, were the focus of his artistic life. He left behind an extensive oeuvre of drawings in addition to his many sculptures. Beginning in the late 1950s, Uhlmann developed distinct black-and-white drawings of line, space, and dynamics based on moving bodies and their outlines. These drawings increasingly condense and leave the amorphous behind in favour of clarity and concentrated austerity. Uhlmann’s works on […]
