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]

Galerie Barbara Weiss is pleased to present our fourth solo exhibition by Monika Baer. The title of the show, o – to – i, refers to a specific dynamic between heterogeneous motifs and elements of Baer’s paintings. The mental and emotional space that opens up within each picture and also between the various pictures cannot be separated from the material motifs and styles of painting the artist employs. Breast and seam, wall and hole, hole and eye, web and frame, mortar and segme... [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]

Toy Story
by Ana Finel Honigman
Heinz Schmoller at Komet Berlin Galerie
June 26th - August 1st
Posted
7/26/09
Heinz Schmöller turns to toys to address political realities that often overwhelm adults. Schmöller's "Exploitation" show at Komet Berlin is built around a kiddie-pool with a cheery yellow toy lawn mower spraying thin streams of water in the air, Light-Bright boards displaying images of political persecution and inequality, and a giant colorful sculpture of every child's fantasy gone sour.
The little pony-tailed red-haired girl in Schmöller's central sculpture buckles under the w... [more]

Everything Repeats Itself
by E-Slant Team
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]

Two Suns
by E-Slant Team
Meike Zopf at Berlin Art Projects
July 11th - August 22nd
Posted
7/15/09
Meike Zopf's mysteriously beautiful, complex paintings seduce as multi-layered contradictions blend and merge on a number of levels: abstract and figurative, illustrative lightness mixed with painterly concentration, the tender and the rugged. New, strange worlds emerge from a mixture of longing and the everyday, surrealism and the real as the foreign become one.
In her most recent work, Zopf develops a unique cosmos of her own. Like tiles in a mosaic, images and symbols of various kinds from various sources are pie... [more]

‘Du willst schon fort, es ist noch längst nicht Tag' [Do you want to leave already, it hasn't even dawned yet], is the title of Galerie Elly Brose-Eiermann most recent exhibition in its Berlin branch, showing the works by Matthias Reinmuth. His works have reached a new level.

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)"

Carroll's rabbit hole with its endless expanse has always been a
