The Buchmann Galerie is pleased to present a new series of paintings by the British artist Clare Woods (b. 1972) titled The Dark Matter.This work is the result of a complex creative process that often uses photographs as sketches, focusing on rural and abandoned parts of land lying somewhere between urbanized cities and deserted country areas.

Seductive, provocative, commonplace, eccentric and above all powerful – for some time now fashion photography has no longer merely been contract work or aestheticising documentation. It has become a unique opportunity for experimentation, between commerce and creativity, mainstream and subculture, industry and art.The publishing house Condé Nast opened its archives in New York, Paris, London and...   [more]

"What I’m interested in is the moment in which you think you have realised something, yet it eludes you a moment later." Jörg Sasse Trophies, heaters, stairs, upholstered sofas, strip doors, oven cloths, plastic animals – at first glance these motifs seem to have no connection whatsoever and are not very spectacular. What exactly is being shown here? And for what purpose? Was is behind these int...   [more]

Sympathy or antipathy? A reflection of the psyche or simply the surface? The individual photographic portrait is more that just an image of the human countenance and its emotional expression. It always represents a specific identity at a particular moment in time – and shows above all the way in which photographed persons would like themselves to be seen. As a result, the format of an image is of...   [more]

Through the sieve of cultural anthropology, Christianity, mythology, primitivism, and art history, the Berlin based artist Uwe Henneken has from the outset of his career exploited contradictions to generate new truths in painting. An initiate of arcane esoteric knowledge, for the exhibition Rotation und Abrieb, Henneken takes his cue from Sir James George Frazer’s, The Golden Bough: A Study in...   [more]

Utopia is a non-place, a good-place. Utopia is defined as an idyllic society with a legal system and socio-political ideals, a society living in harmony, between geographical dislocation and intellectual positivism. Many have been and will be, the failed attempts to reach that model.
 Utopias are for Birds is based on a collection of utopian projects: architectural ideas that could not be...   [more]

Chert Berlin and Erik van der Weijde are delighted to announce the second solo show of the Dutch artist at the gallery. This equilibrium - of artist and gallery - symbolically opens up the main theme of the exhibition: the interaction between space and people; specifically, Oscar Niemeyer and the artist's wife, summarised into a series of architectural photographs and portraits. The artist uses phot...   [more]

AS IF THE EYES HAD FINGERTIPS To look at these works requires above all that sense known as haptic. Countless resonances and hints jump out: for Pho as he deals with the work in formation, even though it may seem something other, and for ourselves as we engage in looking. Above all in the unstable and spontaneous structures of everyday life in the suburbs: building site scaffolding, allotment fences...   [more]
