until 13.04. | #4221ARTatBerlin | Galerie Nordenhake Berlin currently shows the exhibition Do with me by the artist Emma Bernhard.
The exhibition Do with me is an invitation to reflect on the fleeting, albeit repeated continuously, which is just out of reach. For her first solo exhibition in Germany, Swedish artist Emma Bernhard presents new paintings and sculptures. With degrees in painting, sculpture and philosophy, the artist deliberates questions of being and existence in her practice. The title of the exhibition ‘Do with me’ alludes to the teacherly repetition of movement, as opposed to a simple ‘do as I do’. Instead of merely reproducing a gesture or sign, Bernhard effectuates the artworks in the exhibition in which brushstrokes and sculptural forms are guided by the body’s memory, a Deleuzian sensory-motivity, in an ongoing process.
