until 26.06. | #4317ARTatBerlin | Michaela Helfrich Galerie shows from 12 June 2024 the exhibition Changelings in Nighttown by the artist Noël O’Callaghan.
The exhibition ‘Changelings in Nighttown’ from 12 to 26 June 2024 is a solo exhibition by Irish artist Noël O’Callaghan, showing paintings and drawings from her ‘Changelings’ series. These works were created during the lockdown when, in the absence of her regular drawing group, the artist began to alter existing drawings by allowing them to freely mutate into new beings.
Girls can play too!, 2020, watercolor and graphite, 30 x 20cm
The “Nighttown” of the title refers to the Circe episode in James Joyce’s *Ulysses*. Bleibtreu-Straße in Charlottenburg, where the gallery is located, is the only street in Germany mentioned in the book. On Bloomsday, the artist will conduct a “walk and talk” from house number 3 to house number 34.
