Neil Gall: Constantly Moving and Changing
by Abhilasha Singh
Neil Gall at Aurel Scheibler
September 12th - December 19th
Posted
11/2/09
Neil Gallʼs art is constantly moving and changing. The London artist transfers his ideas from one artistic medium to another. Neil Gall uses commonplace items such as plasticine, thread, cardboard, tape or rags to create fantastic objects and landscapes that, once photographed, become paintings, collages and drawings.
The transfer breathes life into the representatives of the world of non-living objects, lends them a new unity and essentiality. The artist takes advantage of the human... [more]

Press release
Hyuna Kim - New Paintings
October 31st - November 28th 2009
Private view: October 30th 6 - 10 pm
The paintings by Hyuna Kim show strange, unlogic and yet familiar pictures which stimulate and evoke archetypes of dream images. Like dreams having the tendency to disarrange and blur one’s perception, Kim’s images seem to be the imagery of such a mysterious process. This is a process in which the rooms, things and animals get detracted of their assignments and meaning, while... [more]

In 1978, Rosalind Krauss published her famous article entitled "Sculpture in the expanded field", opening contemporary art to the opportunity of developing all traditional languages by means of hybridism, fusion of media and a new understanding of space as part of the artwork. After more than three decades of continuous "expansion", many artistic proposals do no fit anymore in close categories such as painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, video or installation.
"Expanded Drawing" examines the works of a selected group of... [more]

Everything Repeats Itself

Renate Anger at Gitte Weise Galerie
June 19th - July 18th
Posted
7/15/09
English version:
In a quite elementary sense, Renate Anger tries out the possibilities of painting, its own power, its sovereignty. In her works, the focal point builds up in all clarity and with a lucid focus on the essential; a sensation of coloured shapes with vibrant or opaque intensity. The moving energy of painting responds to the material, to a spatial situation; the pictures entangle with their base, disclose and unfurl multiple connections in a subtle balance that never freezes. Dissolving... [more]

Kazimir Malevich's AUTOBIOGRAPHY is a documentary exhibition that traces the work of one of the most important artists of the 20th century until his death and after. We should not see the artefacts at this exhibition as works of art. Rather they are souvenirs, sellected speciments of our collective memory.
- Walter Benjamin
The theme of the exhibition AUTOBIOGRAPHY is the life and work of Kazimir Malevich, dating from Petrograd's "The Last Futurist Exhibition 0:10" of 1915 to the app... [more]

Down the Rabbit Hole

"The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then
dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think
about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very
deep well.Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly,
for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to
wonder what was going to happen next. (Lewis Carroll, Alice in
Wonderland)"

Clash of Reality

Marcus Knupp at DUVE Berlin

6/22/09
DUVE Berlin is pleased to present * Hot Pink Lemonade *, Marcus Knupp’s first solo exhibition in Berlin. The exhibition features a series of new paintings and drawings.
The overriding theme of Marcus Knupp‘s works might best be described as a clash of reality. Knupp is a painter who uses the canvas as a catalyst for dreaming up surreal worlds, mocked up futuramas and distorted, drug-induced dreamscapes that seem to occupy numerous realities at once. Knupp constructs his worlds intuit... [more]

The Infinite Library
by E-Slant Team
Daniel Gustav Cramer, Haris Epaminonda, Falk Haberkorn at KLEMM'S
May 23rd - July 4th

Maybe it has always been the case that one inscribed into an already existing, everlasting text; into a story, a narration that always reinvents itself, continues boundlessly by reconnecting with other elements. The Infinite Library (Daniel Gustav Cramer & Haris Epaminonda) is not a library in the sense we know it but rather a space in which endless possibilities can emerge. As an index it recalls the Library of Babel by Borges.The books that the two artists compose constitute volumes tha... [more]

The wisdom of the ancients

Benoit Maire at croy nielsen
May 1st - June 13th
Posted
6/8/09
In "Le mépris," Jean-Luc Godard used one man's struggle to retell "The Odyssey" in a new medium as a metaphor for creative alienation. Benoît Maire draws similar parallels between the myth of Medusa and the artist's relationship to what he or she perceives and depicts. Marie's installation "Drawing Attention" consists of two weathered old chairs and a pile of antique books analyzing Greek mythology's most famous Gorgon from various methodological and fictional perspectives. Marie's own enga... [more]

Die Ausstellung der Mitglieder der Sektion Bildende Kunst stellt den gewandelten Begriff von Zeichnung in der gegenwärtigen bildenden Kunst zur Diskussion. Im Vordergrund steht dabei die autonome Funktion des Zeichnens in der künstlerischen Praxis. Neben traditionellen Verfahrensweisen verdeutlichen fotografische und digitale Konzeptionen sowie hybride Mischformen die enorme Spannweite des zeitgenössischen Zeichnungsbegriffs.
Ein Teil der Exponate erfüllt die Erwartung, dass Zeichn... [more]
