until (to follow) | #4632ARTatBerlin | Galerie SCHMALFUSS BERLIN shows from 14th June 2025 in new gallery premises (Knesebeckstr. 11) the exhibition „Große Vögel, Kleine Vögel” with works by the artist Roland Stratmann.
With Große Vögel, kleine Vögel (Big Birds, Small Birds), Roland Stratmann presents a body of work that refers to current events. The title quotes Pier Paolo Pasolini’s film of the same name, which deals with the seductive power of ideologies.

Stratmann’s works draw attention to the resurgence of feudal-capitalist structures and the propaganda-supported worldviews of those in power.
Plush toys encounter monumental monuments, lush flower arrangements encounter concealing camouflage, and the silhouettes of heroic figures intertwine with timekeeping devices.

Immersing oneself in the images allows one to travel through history and its ideological upheavals. The seemingly apocalyptic threats are thwarted by curious physiognomies and grotesque shifts in scale.

Opening reception: Saturday, 14 June 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The artist has confirmed his attendance.
