bis (to follow) | #4534 ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kremers presents from 6th December 2024 the exhibition serapiontischsiamesisch by the artist and author Uwe Bremer, inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s ‘Nachtstücke’.
It was a difficult birth. Not the symbiotic fusion of Uwe Bremer with E.T.A. Hoffmann, which is visualised in this gouache, but the planning and realisation of the exhibition and the publication of the book ‘Nachtstücke’ by Merlin-Verlag, which contains Bremer’s gouaches alongside texts by Jan-Peter Bremer, Uwe Bremer, Peter Fabian and Marie Christine Kremers.
The events surrounding the project were, and could themselves provide the setting for a Hoffmann-esque narrative. For now, however, it is a joy that the 17 gouaches are finally on display in the gallery and that the book Nachtstücke, an essential complement to this exhibition, has been published on time by the highly esteemed and renowned Merlin publishing house. On December 6, this event would be crowned with a reading by Jan Peter Bremer.

The fact that E.T.A. Hoffmann’s night plays would spark Uwe Bremer’s creative tension and lead him to a symbiotic fusion with the author comes as no surprise to connoisseurs of Bremer’s visual language and his preference for nocturnal themes.The VOODOO exhibition in the gallery is fondly remembered, featuring “Baron Samedi” not only as an etching but also in a reading from the work Clairin, also published by Merlin Verlag, performed by none other than Uwe Bremer himself, both author and etcher.
After the Reclam booklet with the two stories was handed over, 12 gouaches of “Der Sandmann” and “Das öde Haus” were created in quick succession last year, supplemented by the above double portrait and three stunning latecomers.
In addition to the reading by Jan Peter Bremer at the opening on December 6, 2024, another reading is planned; further details will be announced in short time.
Vernissage: Friday, 06. December 2024, 7 – 9 pm
Exhibition dates: Friday, 06. December 2024 – Saturday, December 21, 2024
