Alles wird gut. Everything will be fine. 12.04.2013 - 28.04.2013 Eberstaller - solo show Artist Talk: 27.04.2013, 2 pm Featuring Eberstaller and Matthias Planitzer (Author, Castor&Pollux, Kunstmagazin) Opening: 12.04.2013, 7 pm With a talk featuring Eberstaller, Dr. Stefan Haupt (Collector, Sammlung Haupt) and Nicole Loeser
English version below
Im Jahr 2010 schuf der österreichische Multimedia-Künstler Nikolaus Eberstaller (*1968) die großformatige Skulptur Battlefield (s. Abb). Nun wird er erstmalig sein neues Projekt BATTLEFIELD LOVE MEMORIAL Berlin präsentieren. „Es wird schwierig. Gut so. Ich bin zu alt, um bedingungslos ja zu sagen. Und zu jung, um es nicht trotzdem mit Hingabe zu versuchen. Das Signal, das Berlin mit BATTLEFIELD LOVE MEMORIAL in die Außenwelt senden könnte, wäre dieser Stadt und ihrer Geschichte würdig. Die einzige Bedingung, die ich stelle: Keine öffentlichen Gelder.“ Nikolaus Eberstaller „Die Aussagen der Kunstwerke Eberstallers sind bipolar, sie leben aus dem Spannungsfeld der Gegensätze, die nicht unvereinbar sind, sondern deutlich machen, dass jeder Aspekt eine positive und eine negative Seite umfasst ... Das Kunstwerk bringt auf subtile Weise zum Ausdruck, dass scheinbar unauflösbare Gegensätze sich verändern, auseinander hervorgehen können, dass sich aus Liebe ein Schlachtfeld und aus einem Schlachtfeld Liebe entwickeln kann.“ Univ.-Doz. Dr. Achim Gnann, Kunsthistoriker und Kurator der Wiener ALBERTINA über Battlefield. Parallel dazu zeigen wir MARIE COCHON, Performanceschwein (ein Werk von Nikolaus Eberstaller und Barbara Eberstaller-Wendelin). Ein mit Geld ausgestopftes Schwein wanderte 2012 durch Wien. Medien aus 13 Ländern berichteten, darunter das Wall Street Journal, Die Zeit und Paris Match. 2013 gewannen Nikolaus Eberstaller und Barbara Eberstaller-Wendelin für Marie Cochon einen LICC-Award in London für die beste Performance. Marie Cochon protestiert mit ihrer Performancekunst gegen das sozial unverträgliche Übermaß – die Gier auf Kosten anderer. Marie will den Menschen, denen gegenüber sie sich mit ihrer Kritik loyal erweist, auf der Straße begegnen. Deswegen bereist sie die Welt. Während ihrer Stadtwanderungen tauscht sie sich aus, teilt ihr nährstoffloses Futter mit Bedürftigen und erweitert ihr Weltbild. Vor Ort reflektiert sie über Luxus, Exklusivität, Reichtum. Und ob all das zwingend nur mit Geld zu erreichen ist. www.marie-cochon.com -- English Version In 2010 the Austrian multimedia artist Nicholas Eberstaller (* 1968) created the large-scale sculpture Battlefield (see picture above). Now, he presents his new project BATTLEFIELD LOVE MEMORIAL Berlin. „It will be difficult. Fine. I‘m too old for saying yes unconditionally. And too young to surrender. The signal that Berlin could send to the world with Battlefield Love Memorial would be worthy of this city and its history. The only condition I ask for: No public money.“ Nikolaus Eberstaller about his project. “Eberstallers artworks are bipolar, they live in an area of conflict filled with extremes, which are not contradicting, but it becomes apparent that every aspect includes a positive and a negative side ... Battlefield expresses subtle, that seemingly unsolvable differences change, that they can emerge from within, that out of love a battlefield can develop and out of a battlefield love.” Dr. Achim Gnann, Art historian and curator at the ALBERTINA (Head of Department Italian Art of the 14th -19th Century) in Vienna about Battlefield. In parallel we show the work by MARIE COCHON, Performance pig (a project by Nikolaus Eberstaller and Barbara Eberstaller-Wendelin) A money-stuffed pig wandered through Vienna in 2012. Renowned media reported from over 13 countries, including the Wall Street Journal, Time and Paris Match. Currently Nikolaus Eberstaller and Barbara Eberstaller-Wendelin won a LICC Award in London for the best performance. Marie Cochon protests with her performance art against the social irreconcilable exorbitance – the greed at the expense of others. Marie wants to meet the human, with against whom she proves her loyalty, on the street. Therefore she travels the world. During her private city tours she compares notes, shares her nutrition-free food with the needy and broadens her view of the world. On location she reflects on luxury, exclusivity, abundance. And if that all is compulsory only achieved by money. At work she has two assistants at her side: Nikolaus and Barbara Eberstaller. www.marie-cochon.com Press review: Cicero Magazin, 10.04.2013 |

La Mère Perdue 15.03.2013 – 28.04.2013 Elmar Hess - solo show Artist Talk: 25.04.2013, 7 pm with Dr. Britta Schmitz, Curator, Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Opening: 14.03.2013, Introduction at 7 pm by Dr. Sabine Maria Schmidt, Curator, Kunsthalle Bremen LOCATION: Saarländische Galerie – Europäisches Kunstforum e.V. Am Festungsgraben 1, 10117 Berlin In Elmar Hess’ artistic works private conflicts are seen to be the consequence of compulsory actions conditioned by technology and the system. The individual occurrence is placed on a par with a cascading fantasy of political-historical events. Hess’ works include films and videos as well as multi-media installations consisting of thematically intertwining, staged spaces. These provide the installations a primary structure much like the dramatic sequences of a film. At the same time, the individual spaces address sub-issues formulated by the overarching theme. Created especially for the exhibition at the Saarländische Galerie – Europäisches Kunstforum, the installation “La Mère Perdue” addresses to what extent value systems and cultural meaning can be quantified. An historical event provides the work its point of departure: in 1962 the portrait of “Mona Lisa” was brought to the US for an exhibition – on board the ocean liner “France”. In Hess’ installation, the event is related to one of the artist’s own autobiographical events, an encounter with the “France”, decades later. The work contrasts the personal significance of this formative moment with the Mona Lisa’s general cultural importance. Elmar Hess lives and works in Berlin and Hamburg. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions including Lost Paradise (Kunstraum Wien), German Open (Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg), Surfing Systems (Kunstverein Kassel), Man Son 1969 – The Horror of the Situation (Hamburger Kunsthalle), and others. Hess was a recipient of the Deutschen Kunstfonds Bonn and the Deutsche Akademie Villa Massimo in Rome/Italy. The exhibition “La Mère Perdue” is sponsored by the Schering Foundation, Berlin, the Rudolf Augstein Stiftung, Hamburg, the Karin Abt-Straubinger Stiftung, Stuttgart, Kohlpharma, Merzig and the State Representative of Saarland in Berlin. |

Jimi Hendrix and the Love & Peace Festival A documentation by Frauke Bergemann 30.10.2012 - 20.01.2013 In cooperation with nhow Gallery ![]()
In the context of the European Month of Photography Berlin
www.mdf-berlin.de OPENING: 30.10.2012, 6PM Special event on the occasion of Jimi Hendrix´s 70th birthday: 27.11.2012, 6PM READING: Kalle Freynik CONCERT: THE PLASTIC VOODOO BAND (Berlin) FILM: Jimi & das Fehmarn Festival (GER 2010, 89 min, by Rasmus Gerlach, Wolfgang Neitzel, Paul Kulms) LOCATION: nhow Gallery, Stralauer Allee 3, 10245 Berlin-Kreuzberg “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” Jimi Hendrix WHITECONCEPTS in Kooperation mit der nhow Galerie freuen sich, die Ausstellung JIMI HENDRIX UND DAS LOVE-AND-PEACE-FESTIVAL - eine Dokumentation von Frauke Bergemann anlässlich des 5. Europäischen Monats der Fotografie in Berlin zu präsentieren. Jimi Hendrix (James Marshall Hendrix) war eines der größten kreativsten und innovativsten Talente seiner Zeit. Von vielen Musikkritikern wird er als der beste Gitarrist der Welt geschätzt und revolutionierte die Rockmusik vor allem klanglich durch die E-Gitarre. Am 27.11.2012 hätte er seinen 70. Geburtstag gefeiert. Anlässlich des Jubiläums zeigt die Künstlerin Frauke Bergemann bisher unveröffentlichte Fotos, die das historische Ereignis, das letzte Konzert von Jimi Hendrix, lebendig werden lassen. Zudem vermitteln die Fotos Einblick in die Lebensrealität der deutschen Hippie-Bewegung, als 1970 tausende Musikbegeisterte auf die Ostseeinsel Fehmarn strömten, in der Erwartung dort ihr deutsches Woodstock zu erleben. Dauerregen und Sturm verhinderten allerdings diverse Auftritte der angekündigten, mittlerweile legendären Bands. Die Fans ließen sich jedoch nicht abschrecken und hielten auch die Präsenz der sich selbst zu Ordnungshütern ernannten Rockergruppen aus Hamburg aus, die nicht nur die Gäste an den Einlässen, sondern auch die Veranstalter unter Druck setzten. Als Jimi Hendrix am letzten Tag bei strahlendem Sonnenschein endlich auftrat – es sollte sein letztes Konzert sein, bevor er eine Woche später 27-jährig am 18.09.1970 unter tragischen Umständen in London starb –, waren die misslichen Begleiterscheinungen wie weggeblasen und der Trip auf die Insel blieb den meisten als unvergessenes Musikhighlight in Erinnerung. eng In 1970, thousands of music enthusiasts flocked to the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn in the hope of a German Woodstock. But incessant rain and storms prevented some of the famous bands on the bill from appearing. The presence of motorcycle gangs from Hamburg as self-appointed security staff not only frightened guests at the entrances but also put pressure on the organisers. When Jimi Hendrix finally appeared on the final day, in bright sunshine – for his last concert before his death a week later in London – all the annoyances became irrelevant, and the trip to the island remains an unforgettable musical experience for most of those who attended. Frauke Bergemann presents previously unpublished photos that bring the historic event to life and offer insights into the reality of the German hippie movement.

imPOSSIBLE? Video works of Chinese contemporary artists 02.11.2012 - 17.11.2012 In the context of the project “Chinese Fall - Chinesischer Herbst” for the Chinese Culture Year in Germany With Lu Chunsheng (Shanghai), Xing Danwen (Beijing), Yingmei Duan (Braunschweig/London), Ni Haifeng (Amsterdam), Shi Yong (Shanghai), Michael Zheng (San Francisco/Beijing), Yang Zhenzhong (Shanghai) In cooperation with aquabitART and Kühlhaus Berlin VENUE: Cultural Center Kühlhaus Berlin - Seven Floors of Art What is the state of Video Art in China today? And how do artists reflect their artistry in the present? Where is the art drifting toward? And by what standards do we evaluate art? Based on two shows entitled "imPOSSIBLE!", that were shown 2009 at the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery and MISSION 17, the new show was re-curated by the curatorial team of Nicole Loeser and Irina Ilieva. In the context of the project "Chinese Fall" at the Kühlhaus the curators picked up these questions for their exhibition. The artists in “imPOSSIBLE?” engage strategies that include using humor that is slightly dark and often times ironic creating absurd or impossible scenarios, and confront highly exaggerated aesthetic and conceptual sensibilities. In a situation where radical change becomes an everyday experience, the artists found that by engaging these strategies they were able to create works that reconcile the past with the present and highlight the pace of contemporary life in China. At that time, the artists used especially absurd statements questioning the art-making process and the shows were highly recognized. Will their works have after three years a similar effect? What was then considered impossibility through the rapid changes in living conditions, through technology and global trade which now seems normal? From the improbability has it become a reality? With special thanks to Directors Lounge and Ulrich Schäfer. |

the solo project artfair 13.06.2012 - 17.06.2012 Photography by André Wagner LOCATION: Booth G4, St. Jakobshalle, Brüglingerstrasse 19-21, CH-4052 Basel ![]() Please scroll down for Germn verion "Close to nature, mythological and thoughtful; spiritually and technologically significant sites (...) attract the photographic journeys of André Wagner, and add a new level of meaning to his visually striking images. In fact, the landscape often remains in the background; the light and its presence are in the main role." Mindaugas Kavaliauskas, director of the Festival PHOTO KAUNAS, Lithuania André Wagner was born in 1980 in Burgstädt (Saxony) and ended his apprenticeship as a photographer in 2001. Since 2004 he lives and works in Berlin. He deals with his camera virtuously and investigates the possibilities of lighting situations. He stages photographs in great detail and creates authentic images that are not digitally manipulated. He succeeds in a remarkable way in perceiving internal and external phenomena of a situation. Standing in the tradition of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Wagner sees photography as an ideal means of expression, with which he can transfer attitudes and beliefs. His painterly, poetic landscape photos can be seen as a reinvention of the traditional genres. This is mainly caused by the light-interpretation because Wagner photographs usually by means of long-time exposure and the use of various light sources, causing an interaction of associative thought patterns. Each and every moment seems loaded with content, rising above the purely aesthetic message. "In his work André Wagner plays with the viewing habits and expectations of the viewer. Staged image advertising spaces are familiar to us. While they are embedded in a narrative context, and must be explained in a few seconds, we are first disoriented in their artistic interpretation of Wagner’s staged adaptation. Only in the stepwise analysis of the image content we can solve the puzzle and see the artistic quality of the subject. Playing with the perception of spatial conditions as well as of the conscious subject like in discussions of inner and outer spaces of the real or unreal or even mental spaces is a well-known topos of art history, especially of the 20th Century. (...) When asked which artists inspire him André Wagner replied, "If art makes you feel, despite staging a reality, then the person behind the art is an interesting person." In order to satisfy his own demand, this is one of the special qualities of artistic creation by André Wagner." Thomas Bauer-Friedrich, curator of Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz, Germany Numerous exhibitions have already taken André Wagner throughout Europe, China, New Zealand and the United States. He has won several awards for his work and is represented in public collections. German version „Naturbezogen, mythologisch, gedankenvoll, spirituell und technologisch bedeutsame Orte (…) ziehen die fotografischen Reisen André Wagners an, und fügen seinen visuell eindrucksvollen Bildern eine neue Bedeutungsebene hinzu. In der Tat bleiben die Landschaften oft nur im Hintergrund, die Hauptrolle übernimmt das Licht und seine Gegenwart.“ Mindaugas Kavaliauskas, Direktor des KAUNAS PHOTO Festival, Litauen Für seine malerischen Fotografien von Landschaften lässt sich André Wagner (*1980 Burgstädt) von fernen Orten, der Zeit und der Nacht inspirieren. Dem jungen deutschen Fotokünstler gelingt es auf bemerkenswerte Art, innere und äußere Phänomene einer Situation wahrzunehmen. Virtous erzeugt er authentische Bilder, die nicht digital verfremdet sind. Der dargestellte Moment, der eine vielschichtige Welt von Emotionen, Stimmungen und Spiritualität reflektiert, wird bewusst mit Inhalten aufgeladen, die sich über das rein ästhetische Resultat hinweg erheben. Diese Wirkung wird nochmals verstärkt, wenn Wagner mit sehr langen Belichtungszeiten arbeitet und auch das Material sprechen lässt. Wir zeigen eine Auswahl seiner detailreichen und stark kontrastierenden Arbeiten, die in ihrer Poesie eine Neigung zur Romantik zeigen und einen Eindruck von „Altmeisterlichkeit“ entstehen lassen. Einige Werke, die der Werkgruppe "Romance of Elements" zugeordnet sind, stellen das Resultat der künstlerischen Idee dar, die metaphysische Energie von Feuer sichtbar zu machen. Inspiriert von der vorgefundenen Situation stellt André Wagner eine Kombination verschiedener Stile wie Land Art, Performance, Feuerzeichnungen und Fotografie zu einem ungewöhnlichen Selbstportrait zusammen. In der Tradition eines Lászlo Moholy-Nagy stehend, sieht Wagner die Fotografie als ein ideales Ausdrucksmittel, mit dem er Geisteshaltungen und Weltanschauungen transferieren kann. Dabei bilden die ausgestellten Werke performative Handlungen ab, die oft von dem Fotografen selbst ausgeführt werden. Seine Arbeiten lassen sich neben daneben auch als eine meditative Innenschau interpretieren. Wagner verleiht damit der Natur in Form der Landschaft mehrdeutige Ebenen, indem er, z.B. mittels der Einschreibung der Bewegungen des Feuers oder des Sternenhimmels in das Zelluloid, unsichtbare Energien sichtbar werden lässt. „Das abgebildete Licht ist mein Weg durch die Zeit“, beschrieb er es einmal und fordert den Betrachter heraus, sich seinem Werk intuitiv zu nähern, um sich dann in einem Universum von philosophischen Verknüpfungen zu bewegen. Zahlreiche Ausstellungen führten André Wagner bereits durch Europa, nach China, Neuseeland und die USA. Er wurde mehrfach für sein Werk ausgezeichnet und ist in öffentlichen Sammlungen vertreten. |

60°N 05°E (encased waterside) 15.06.2012 Inauguration of the outdoor sculpture by Thorsten Goldberg Bergen/NOR A shiny silver panel lying on the landscape measuring 450 m² has been covering since June 2012 the stony shore of an inner city fjord in Bergen / Norway. The Berliner artist Thorsten Goldberg, well-known for his work in public space, has exactly aligned his new work 60°N 05°E (encased waterside) to the earth’s coordinate system. It describes the area between 60°22´52.55"N / 60°22´51.8"N and 05°20´01.24"E / 05°20´02.32"E. Composed of 800 individual polished stainless steel triangles it perfectly adapts to the topography of the ground. In that place now all elements seem to dissolve into each other. By changing tides the often faceted surface is partially covered by water, and reflects both the water and the sky. Once the object is provided with a pulse of light at dusk, the panel seems to be transferred to a glider. On June 15th, 2012 at noon the outdoor sculpture 60°N 05°E (encased waterside) by Thorsten Goldberg was inaugurated as part of the “Bybanen Art Program” in Bergen / Norway. Kindly supported by The City of Bergen; Hordaland County; KORO (Public Art Norway). On July 15th, 2012 the Gerisch Foundation in Neumünster, Germany opened Thorsten Goldberg’s solo exhibition 54°4min (Exhibition: 15/07/2012 – 10/02/2013), which is touring then in 2013 to additional exhibition venues (Laznia - Center for Contemporary Art, Gdansk and Municipal Gallery Viersen). Press: Thorsten GOLDBERG, 60°N 05°E (2012), www.art-public.com, 29.06.2012 Parallel to his exhibitions a comprehensive catalog of works titled ‘54°4min’ will be published by DISTANZ Verlag. Content: Localization in Paradise: Coordinates of the Utopian. The work of Thorsten Goldberg (b. Dinslaken 1960; lives and works in Berlin) represents an important contribution to the evolution of art in the public sphere, whose classical localization he suspends by removing crucial determinants in favor of a utopian dimension. 54°4min. tells the story of a journey to places that embody the yearnings of our time. By proffering definitions of places that are as specific as they are deliberately incomplete, Goldberg unfolds the spectrum of his artistic reflection before us: from the historic Land of Cockaigne to the virtual palm-lined beach adorning a screensaver, from directions guiding us along the 54th parallel to far-off islands and the radiant cloud we might follow to reach remote paradises. The exhibition, which will be on display at three exhibition institutions in Germany and Poland, represents the first major retrospective of the oeuvre of this multimedia artist. The book offers glimpses of Goldberg´s work in several media; it portrays realized as well as unrealized works in public space, objects, photographs, drawings, and video works. With contributions by Jadwiga Charzynska, Kristin Danger, Eulalia Domanowska, Martin Henatsch and Nicole Loeser. About the artist: The visual artist Thorsten Goldberg lives in Berlin and is realizing projects in public space throughout Europe. He taught at art academies in Münster, Munich, Linz, and most recently as Professor of Art and Media in Kiel. As a member of various committees for public art, he is involved in selection and organization of competitions and of documentation and archiving of art projects in public space. Thorsten Goldberg is a member of the Advisory Committee on Art in Berlin, spokesman for the Bureau of art in public space of the cultural work of the BBK Berlin and is the founder and co-editor of "Public Art Wiki, an imagined library", the Internet lexicon of art in public space. |

The road series 28.04.2012 - 09.06.2012 Photography by Jia/CN In cooperation with aquabitART Gallery
LOCATION: Auguststrasse 35, 10119 Berlin
Official introduction by Drew Hammond, The Art Economist: 31.05,2012, 7pm. The talk will be given in English. Drew Hammond will be speaking on the nature of the rise of engaged abstraction as a recent development in Chinese contemporary art; the critique of consumerism implicit in Jia’s photo series; and the work’s kinship with traditional Chinese landscape painting. Press: ARTINVESTOR, 03/2012 Theme “Auf nach Asien!” Essay by JIA by Drew Hammond “Das Streben der Anderen”, p. 82. About the artist Born in Beijing in 1979, Jia made her first trip to the West in 2007, and began her ongoing photo project, The Road Series, in 2009, always shooting from moving automobiles in mist or rain, and in nine Western countries. The artist prints photos from The Road Series as she first shot them without any ex post facto modification of the original shot. Despite an overt formal aspect that is predominantly abstract, The Road Series is consistent with a general tendency of contemporary Chinese art to be socially engaged by means of themes of critical negation. For the artist, a dark consequence of the rapid economic growth of China has been a generalized obsession the acquisition of material goods and the fetishization of Western designer brands. Nowhere are these consumerist aspirations more evident than in the mania for automobiles, and the false sense of social standing afforded their owners. The automobile, like the Chinese vision of West itself, is a metonym for false consumerist values that have eclipsed traditional ideas of virtue. In The Road Series, the widespread aspiration of sightseeing in the West occurs in such a way that the automobile becomes a prism through which we perceive the world. This vision seems attractive, but it is so distorted that we cannot even tell which country we are in, or even whether it is day or night. This form of artificial vision has a theoretical precedence in the technique of traditional Chinese landscape painting that would use rain and mist in order to generate distortions that posed a radical departure from reality, but which nevertheless seemed pleasing to the eye. By means of photography, the very medium that most “relies on what is already there”, The Road Series creates overtly pretty visions of things that are not already there, but which belie our distraction from any authentic awareness—not merely awareness of hazardous weather conditions, but of the more profoundly dangerous epistemic blindness of consumerist fantasy. In this sense, The Road Series is a cautionary tale for China that warns against learning too well the lessons of the West. Drew Hammond/ Senior International Correspondent, The Art Economist Young and unique artist JIA is represented in many well known public and private collections (amongst others Frederick R. Weisman Foundation Art Collection, Sammlung Gregor von Bismarck, Sigg Collection). |

nature 28.04.2012 - 24.05.2012 Recent drawings by Greg Murr/USA WHITECONCEPTS – BERLIN is pleased to present new drawings by Greg Murr. The show’s title, Nature, points not just to the domain of flora and fauna, as conventionally distinguished from humanity. Adorned with material evidence of high society and culture, this collection of drawings addresses a sort of essence or nature typically deemed human, yet fundamentally primal and animal in character. With a keen sense of self-awareness and a nod to good fun, all this is presented in seamless compositions that combine everyday dogs, countless strands of pearls, and other accoutrements leftover from an absent cultural elite. Watercolors on paper and highly rendered drawings in graphite and acrylic on canvas comprise the approximately fourteen works in the show. All works depict dogs and other various subjects in white spaces. As such, they make reference to incomplete studies in a sketchbook, and likewise remain just vague enough that we can’t definitively pin them to one place, time or context. In one work, a wolf draped in pearls stands before a framework resembling a church’s rosette window or a Buddhist mandala. In another, two dogs wrestle among scattered white flowers. Animated with tangles of pearls, some images might be construed to pose wealth itself as a living entity, growing and unfolding in conjunction with any animal and plant there to bear witness. Together, this selection of finely drawn and surreal works invites us to reevaluate how we define nature with respect to our values and lives today. German version WHITECONCEPTS - BERLIN freut sich, zur Ausstellung mit neuen Zeichnungen von Greg Murr einzuladen. Der Titel der Ausstellung „ nature“ verweist nicht nur auf das Gebiet der Flora und Fauna, wie sie üblicherweise der Menschheit gegenübersteht. Ornamentiert mit materiell wertvollen Objekten der Oberschicht, stellt Murrs Sammlung von Zeichnungen eine Art Essenz der Natur des Menschen, mittels verschiedener Aspekte seines Ur- und Tier-Charakters dar. Mit feinem, ironischen Gespür für das menschliche Selbst-Bewusstsein zeigt er nahtlos ineinander übergreifende Kompositionen, die die Alltäglichkeit in Form von Hunden, unzähligen Perlenketten und anderen Requisiten als Überbleibsel einer abwesenden kulturellen Elite kombinieren. Seine vierzehn Werke, die in der Ausstellung präsentiert werden, umfassen Aquarelle auf Papier und filigrane Zeichnungen in Graphit und Acryl. Alle Arbeiten zeigen bereits zitierte Hunde und verschiedene andere Sujets auf weißem Grund. Damit nehmen sie Bezug auf unvollständige Studien in einem Skizzenbuch und bleiben vage genug, um sie nicht endgültig an einen Ort, eine Zeit oder einen Kontext festzuschreiben. So begegnet uns auf einem Blatt ein Wolf mit Perlen drapiert vor einem Rahmen, der sowohl einem Kirchenrosettenfenster als auch einem buddhistischen Mandala ähnelt. Auf einem anderen ringen zwei Hunde in einem Meer aus verstreuten, weißen Blüten. Dass sich Reichtum als eine lebendige Einheit darstellen lässt, zeigt uns Murr durch die Darstellung von haufenartigen Formen von Perlen. In Verbindung mit vielgestaltigen Tier-und Pflanzenarten lässt er sie auf dem Papier wachsen und sich entfalten. Greg Murrs surreale Werken laden uns zu einer Neubewertung der Definition von Natur ein, vor allem in Bezug auf unsere derzeit gelebten Werte. |

English version (Please scroll down for German version) OPENING: 30.03.2012, 19 h Panelists: How do you manage one crisis after another? Despite sustained financial crisis and its devastating impact on private sectors and all government budgets and systems the globalized financial industry produces uncontrollable amounts of money. Hardly bothered or prosecuted it creates opaque and risky transactions while not only virtual results cause a decline in values, but the real world. In addition interactive events such as guided tours, artist talks and panel discussions with representatives of different fields and positions will introduce the general public on the issues and facilitate the reception of the processes associated with globalization, including the impact on their design and execution. German version Ergänzend ermöglichen interaktive Veranstaltungen wie Führungen, KünstlerInnengespräche und Podiumsdiskussionen mit VertreterInnen unterschiedlicher Fachgebiete und Positionen den Meinungs- und Erfahrungsaustausch, z. B. wie gerechtere Zukunftssysteme zu denken, zu leben und zu handeln sind. Das Projekt wird eine breite Öffentlichkeit an das Thema bzw. Teilaspekte heranzuführen und die Rezeption der mit der Globalisierung einhergehenden Prozesse samt des Einflusses auf deren Gestaltung und Abwicklung erleichtern.

The universe is built on a plan... 21.01.2012 - 10.02.2012 with Jovana Popic/CRO-SER, Raha Rastifard/IR, André Wagner/DE, Veronika Witte/DE, Michael Zheng/CN-USA In cooperation with SAVVY Contemporary
OPENING: 21.01.2012, 19 h
19:30h Vocal performance by Zvezdana Novakovic on an object by Jovana Popic FINISSAGE & Catalog Launch: 10.02.2012, 19 h LOCATION: Richardstraße 43/44, 12055 Berlin Please scroll down for German version Nicole Loeser has invited artists to consider notions of spirituality and inspiration with regard to studio practice today. The choice of artists is based on SAVVY Contemporary´s aim to examine the relationship and explore the borders between Western and non-Western art, and to investigate notions of ‘otherness’. THE UNIVERSE IS BUILT ON A PLAN ... engages diverse cultural idiosynchrasies and perspectives to explore how these particular themes shape studio practice today. To what extent does art assume its own life, whether through cross-cultural intervention or through recording and representing life? How does art both fulfill the autonomy of the individual and address the challenges of society as a whole? Posing these and other questions, the exhibition investigates the spiritual and inspirational drives within art-making today, and attempts to formulate questions about what kind of life-quality can be developed in this collaborative era. Jovana Popic (*1977, Zadar/CRO) explores in addition to a specific location the transcendent level of existence. Extremely impressive in its facilities is the intimate interplay between material, space and the fleeting acting work, which is composed of drawings, objects of phosphorescent polyester, videos or sound installations. The focus of her work is the visitor involved with his/her feelings and thoughts being able to empathize with dedication to the artistic and cultural history of the place and also to nature. Jovana studied painting and multimedia at the University of Belgrade/RS and at the University of Fine Art in Belgrade. She was often awarded (recently in 2011 with the Meisterschüler Award of the University of Arts) and participated in 2003 at the Venice Biennale. The idea of juxtaposing one´s self with the spirituality of another person has been an instrument used by Raha Rastifard (*1975, Tehran/IR). The Iranian, Berlin based, artist looks at history through her own desires. The series ´I and...´ shows the artist melting her personality together with another person´s spirituality. With people who inspired her, no matter where they come from, she presents a pure moment between the past and the present. Raha Rastifard studied photography, painting and art history at the National University of Art Tehran/IR and at the Free University of Berlin/DE. She participated in numerous international exhibitions, in 2011 her work has been shown in Berlin, Tehran/IR, Shanghai/CN and Delhi/IND. Trained as a photographer and interested in Hindu spirituality André Wagner (*1980, Burgstädt/DE) creates photos that are informed by social movements, architecture and especially nature. He photographs the natural movement of light producing a surrealistic effect of energy that when combined with the rotation of the earth, as André puts it “leads man to delve into the mystic knowledge down deep in his soul.” His unique gift is the sensual way of perceiving internal and external phenomena of a situation. André Wagner has entered prestigious competitions and won several distinguished prizes. Exhibitions have taken the photographer so far throughout Europe, China, New Zealand and the USA. Veronika Witte (*1962, Ahaus-Wessum in Westfalen/DE) creates a reflexive place, which shows identity as a complex construct. Originating in classical sculpture, Veronika Witte works on an enlarged „portrait concept“, which she pursues in a multi-disciplined scheme, thereby creating a space where art, theatre and science meet and referring to subjects like identity construction or new developments influencing our „social body“. she invents questionnaires, interviews and surveys. On the occasion of a residence on the island Phu Quoc in Vietnam she made a survey with inhabitants and tourists concerning the „concept of an island“, and the subjectively perceived ecological-social state of the island. Locals and tourists were questioned about geographical proportions and relations, as well as their personal reliable points of view on the island. They were invited to use only their internal sense of physical measurement and subjective imagination. This method was evolved into a so-called “individual mapping“. The installation “Coconut island” combines a video projected towards a rice field on the ground, representing in its shape the outline of all the drawings like a fictional island itself, onto which the projected drawings float like a fluidamorphous organism from border to border of the rice field. Veronika Witte studied at the Ecôle Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris/FR. The multimedia artist has been invited to numerous exhibitions thoughout Europe and received several awards. Since 1999 she has been working closely with theaters (1999-2005 staatsbankberlin) and created stage design for the Saarland State Theater/DE and the State Theater Bielefeld/DE). Michael Zheng’s (*1965, Fujian/CN) works are inspired by both the eastern and western world and take a look at social systems, , for which he prefers to provide a new order. He often creates situations that challenge established positions and question, so that new perspectives are created. On July 27, 2004, the artist made a performance at the Geographical Center of Europe in Lithuania. Standing between the two official monuments that mark the Center(s) of Europe (the younger is a bit further away next to the older one), he whistled out the phrase “CENTER OF EUROPE” repetitively in Morse Code. As part of the piece, this event was broadcast on the Lithuanian National Public TV Nightly news. Michael Zheng is a performance and conceptual artist. After being a software engineer at Silicon Valley, he studied at the San Francisco Art Institute and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Exhibitions led the artist already all over the world. In 2010 his work was exhibited at the Marina Abramovic Institute in San Francisco. 2009-2011 he was a participant in the Vancouver Biennale in Canada. German version Nicole Loeser lädt für die erste Ausstellung bei SAVVY Contemporary in 2012 fünf KünstlerInnen ein, sich mit dem Thema Spiritualität und Inspiration auseinander zu setzen. Basis für die Wahl der KünstlerInnen ist- ähnlich dem Konzept der Projektgalerie, das die Grenze zwischen „West-Kunst“ und "Nicht-West- Kunst“ erforscht – die Perspektive auf das jeweilige Fremde zu lenken. THE UNIVERSE IS BUILT ON A PLAN… untersucht den inspirativen Einfluss auf künstlerisches Schaffen, der durch Begegnung und Erfahrung in fremden Kulturen entstanden ist. Hinterfragt wird unter anderem, inwieweit Kunst eine Lebensform repräsentiert, als interventionistische Praxis Strategien ergreift oder sich in einer dokumentarischen Weise hierzu stellt. Um sowohl der Autonomie eines Einzelnen als auch den Herausforderungen der Weltgemeinschaft begegnen zu können, versucht die Ausstellung Fragen zu formulieren, welche Lebensqualität sich im kollaborativen Zeitalter entwickelt lässt. Jovana Popic (* 1977, Zadar/CRO) erforscht an einem spezifischen Ort die transzendente Ebene der Existenz, denn auch unausgesprochene Gedanken bleiben oft in Erinnerung. Extrem beeindruckend ist das intime Zusammenspiel von unterschiedlichen Medien, Material und Raum und der flüchtigen Arbeit des Betrachters, Ihre Werke bestehen zum Teil aus Zeichnungen, Objekten und phosphoreszierendem Polyester, Videos oder Sound-Installationen. Im Fokus ihrer Arbeit steht der Mensch, der sich mit seinen Gefühlen und Gedanken engagieren muss, um sich ihrer künstlerischen Hingabe an die Kultur und Geschichte des Ortes und auch an die Natur einfühlen zu können. Jovana studierte Malerei und Multimedia an der Universität in Belgrad/RS und an der Universität der Künste in Berlin. Sie wurde mit dem Meisterschüler Preis der UdK 2011 ausgezeichnet und beteiligte sich 2003 an der Biennale in Venedig. Die Idee der Gegenüberstellung eines Fotos von sich selbst mit dem einer anderen Person ist ein Instrument, das Raha Rastifard (*1975, Teheran/IR) in ihrer Kunst verwendet. Die aus dem Iran stammende Künstlerin, die in Berlin lebt und arbeitet, betrachtet Geschichte mit einer ihr eigenen Wunschvorstellung geprägten Haltung. Die Serie "Ich und ..." zeigt das Verschmelzen ihrer Persönlichkeit mit der einer anderen, deren spirituelle Haltung sich bereits in deren Wirken zeigte. Mit inspirierenden Menschen, gleich welcher Kultur sie entstammen, verbunden zu sein, manifestiert sie einen magischen Moment zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Raha Rastifard studierte Fotografie, Malerei und Kunstgeschichte an der National University of Art Teheran/IR und an der Freien Universität Berlin. Sie nahm an zahlreichen internationalen Ausstellungen, im Jahr 2011 wurde ihre Arbeit in Berlin, Shanghai/CN, Teheran/IR und Delhi/IND gezeigt. Ausgebildet als Fotograf und interessiert an der spirituellen Ordnung der Hindus schafft André Wagner (*1980, Burgstädt) Bilder, die sich mit sozialen Prozessen, der Architektur und vor allem der Natur beschäftigen. Er fotografiert die natürliche Bewegung des Lichts und erzeugt damit eine surrealistische Wirkung von Energie, die, kombiniert mit der Rotation der Erde "den Menschen dazu führt, das mystische Wissen über seine Seele tief zu ergründen." André Wagners einzigartige Gabe, auf sinnliche Art und Weise interne und externe Phänomene einer Situation wahrzunehmen, gibt ihm die Freiheit, malerische Fotografien zu entwickeln, die mittels Langzeitbelichtung eine tieferliegende Struktur der Realität abzubilden. André Wagner hat an prestigeträchtigen Wettbewerben teilgenommen und wurde mit zahlreichen Preise ausgezeichnet. Ausstellungen haben den Fotografen bisher durch Europa, China, Neuseeland und den USA geführt. Veronika Witte (*1962, Ahaus-Wessum in Westfalen) schafft einen reflexiven Ort, der Identität als komplexes Konstrukt widerspiegelt. Ausgehend von der klassischen Skulptur arbeitet sie an einem erweiterten "Portrait-Begriff. Mittels einer multi-disziplinären Arbeitsweise schafft sie einen Raum, in dem sich Kunst, Theater und Wissenschaft begegnen und der Themen wie Identitäts- konstruktion oder Entwicklungen unseres "sozialen Körpers" verhandelt. Dazu arbeitet sie beispielsweise mit Hilfe von Fragebögen, Interviews und Umfragen, wie für ihre Arbeit „Coconut Prison“, eine 1-Kanal-Videoprojektion auf ca.30 kg Reis, die bei ihrem Aufenthalt in Vietnam 2008 entstand. Bewohner der Insel Phu Quoc wurden nach ihrer subjektiven Sicht bzgl. der ökologisch-sozialen Situation der Insel gefragt und eingeladen, für die Künstlerin „ihre“ Insel zu zeichnen und damit verbundene wichtige Orte aufzuzeigen. Das Video zeigt individuelle Kartographien, die sich ununterbrochen zu ungewöhnlichen amorphen Formen vermischen und verändern. Veronika Witte studierte an der Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris/FR. Die Multimedia-Künstlerin wurde zu zahlreichen Ausstellungen in Europa eingeladen und erhielt wichtige Auszeichnungen. Seit 1999 arbeitet sie eng mit Theatern zusammen (1999-2005 staatsbankberlin, Künstlerische Leiterin). Zuletzt in 2010/2011 schuf sie Bühnenbilder für das Saarländische Staatstheater und das Staatstheater Bielefeld. Michael Zhengs (*1965, Fujian/CN) Arbeiten werden sowohl von der östlichen als auch westlichen Welt inspiriert und werfen einen Blick auf gesellschaftliche Systeme, für die er vorzugsweise eine neue Ordnung schafft. So kreiert er Situationen, die etablierte Positionen herausfordern und hinterfragen, so dass neue Perspektiven ermöglicht werden. Am 27. Juli 2004 stellte der Künstler eine Performance an der geo-graphischen Mitte Europas in Litauen dar. Zwischen beiden offiziellen Denkmälern stehend (ein jüngeres steht etwas weiter entfernt neben dem älteren), die das Zentrum Europas markieren, pfiff er das Wort "Mitte Europas" wiederholt in Morse-Code. Als Teil des Stückes, wurde diese Arbeit im Fernsehen auf dem Sender Lithuanian National Public TV Nightly News gesendet. Michael Zheng ist ein Performance-und Konzeptkünstler. Nach seiner Tätigkeit als Software-Ingenieur bei Silicon Valley, studierte er am San Francisco Art Institute und der Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Ausstellungen führten den Künstler bereits durch die ganze Welt, wichtige Stationen waren die Einzelausstellung 2010 am Marina Abramovic Institute in San Francisco sowie seine Teilnahme 2009-2011 an der Vancouver Biennale in Kanada. |

Red concepts for right collectors 24.11.2011 - 02.03.2012 Recent works by PSJM/ES Artist Talk: 24.02.2012, 6pm
WHITECONCEPTS is proud to present a selection of the Berlin-based Spanish duo’s works under the title, Red Concepts for Right Collectors, a solo exhibition which combines powerful theoretical content with careful formal execution, leading the audience towards social reflection. In many cases, PSJM’s ironic and aesthetic objects belong to larger projects, but now they are presented alone, demonstrating their autonomy as independent artworks and preserving the strength of their meaning. For example, their wallpaper titled, Marx®, refers to a project in which the artists registered a particular wallpaper design as a brand and displayed a full selection of comparably branded products. Likewise, the light-boxes of the censured Project Asia and Made by Kids for Kids series each question the corporate underlying practice of exploiting workers and children in developing nations, and the drawings from a series titled, Struggle, depicts citizens as insignificant individuals fighting against powerful trademarks. You are a commodity, the outcome of a PSJM public intervention in Berlin (2010) will also be shown on the gallery’s wall.
Brand marketing and global economics play a critical role in PSJM´s work. Their pseudo-Hollywood Corporate Armies trailer describes a world ruled by corporations: marketing and totalitarianism unite in a dystopian scenario which shows how the world would be if capitalism was unconstrained and liberated from any limit that democratic institutions impose upon it. Corporate Armies also features a sculpture obtained through 3D digital technology. Next to the 3D animation, a black and white ´historical drawing´ further pushes the reference to mass culture and its fascination for the so-called beauty of war. The video-animation, Capitalism, shows two towers made of coins; one tower is permanent while the other continuously topples and is rebuilt. Its clean and minimal execution makes clear reference to issues of economic fluctuation, perpetually impending crises and most obviously 9/11, the tragic event that has come to define the new century and incite global terror. This video, which has been shown on large screens as a video-installation before, is now presented as a small video-object made of stainless steel. The exhibition is completed with works of two series belonging to a line of visual investigation that PSJM calls ‘social geometry’, where they create arrangements with an emphatic formal reduction based on statistical data: two fine art prints on cotton paper from their series, American Colors, that use the 5 conventional colors applied to the races of the world. Its composition is based on the population census percentage, the percentage of populations in prison and the poverty percentage in the USA as organized by race. Another 3D animation, Class Geometry, in which divisions are established between rotating schematic volumes, represents different social classes (upper class, middle class, and lower class). The video shows two possibilities for the development of the global social object: one is utopian and the other is dystopian. Perhaps not surprisingly but no less discouraging, it is the latter that matches the current trend toward eradicating the middle class population. Recently, PSJM was included among the ‘100 Most Represented International Political Artists’ in the book, Art & Agenda / Political Art and Activism (published by Gestalten, Berlin 2011).

Preview Aftershow with Veronika Witte/DE, Jovana Popic/CRO-SER, Thorsten Goldberg/DE, Nikolaus Eberstaller/AT 12.09.2011 - 04.11.2011 Artist Talk: 15.09.2011, 6pm We are delighted to present Veronika Witte/D, Jovana Popic/CRO-SER, Thorsten Goldberg/D und Nikolaus Eberstaller/AT at PREVIEW BERLIN 2011 and cordially invite you to visit us at Hangar 2 / Booth 59. After the art fair works by the presented artists are shown in our showroom. An artist talk is to take place on 09/15/2011 by 6 PM The works by Jovana Popic (*1977 CRO-SER), Veronika Witte (*1962 DE), Nikolaus Eberstaller (*1969 AT) and Thorsten Goldberg (* 1961 DE) are based on the extension of the term from portrait and sculpture, to performative strategies. Occuring in a moment of physical and psychological ambiguity, how can identity be marked? How do we orient ourselves, if perspectives appear disjointed, fragmented and relative? Which vanishing points do we create or which center? Documentaries and staged images are linked together via various media questioning the concept of action by artists. In addition to emotional transfer it comes to vision of the future, expansion of consciousness and reflection of the actor. In this respect, artistic sensibility is organized into a movement that can result from an informal moment between a new form. The utopian component gives the work its transformative power, which expands the imagination and desire to awaken visions, aspirations and ideals. Nikolaus Eberstaller (*1968, Klosterneuburg/ AT) is a multimedia artist who was often awarded. Exhibitions took him throughout Europe and the USA. In 2011 he entered the prestigious competition of Charlatan Ink Collective, where he is now under the first 25 finalists (decision in October 2011). His multifaceted work encircles the "Big Five" of his world theatre: dream, our so called reality, social criticism, beauty and ugliness. Thorsten Goldberg (*1960, Dinslaken/DE) studied at the Art Academy in Stuttgart and lives in Berlin since 1990. He is initiator and co-editor of Public Art Wiki, an imaginary library, the internet encyclopedia for art in public space. In collaboration with the Office for Art in Public Space of the ´Kulturwerk´ and as a member of various committees he is involved in selecting and organizing competitions and documentaries on public art. Since 2011 he is a member of the advisory committee of art (BAK) to advise the Culture Senate in matters of art in architecture and art in urban space in Berlin. Since 2001 he was also lecturer and visiting professor at the Alice-Salomon University of in Berlin and at Art Colleges Art Academy Muenster, AdBK Munich, UfG Linz/AT, most recently as professor of fine arts and media at the Art Academy in Kiel. Jovana Popic (*1977, Zadar/CRO) studied painting and multimedia at the University of Belgrade/SER and at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin with Rebecca Horn. She works with different artistic media including sculpture, drawing, photography, video as well as scenography and performance. She was often awarded and participated in 2003 at the Venice Biennale.

The end of the dream (comes too soon) 31.08.2011 - 03.09.2011 with Robert Barta / Jérémie Bennequin / Luk Berghe / Eberhard Bosslet / Marcel Buehler / Matthew Burbidge / Anton Burdakov / Youngjoo Cho / Sébastien Delvaux / Nikolaus Eberstaller / Nezaket Ekici / Megumi Fukuda / Stephanie Gerner / Elmar Hess / Maja Josifovic / Peter Kees / Tessa Knapp / Via Lewandowsky / Ari Benjamin Meyers / Jenny Michel / Greg Murr / Hajnal Németh / Sophia Pompéry / Jovana Popic / Joseph Ramirez / Raha Rastifard / Karen Scheper / Johanna Thompson / Mehran Tizkar / André Wagner / Hans Winkler / Veronika Witte / Seoung Won Won / Michael Zheng In cooperation with Mica Moca berlin project e.V.
Bankrupt states, extreme weather patterns, nuclear accidents, polar ice melt - everything seems to suggest an imminent crash, and one of our own manufacture. Are we too passive in simply putting together economic and aid packages, or can we overcome the apparently vicious cycle? And can art itself serve to form a new position and even create a new vision? Or is art relegated to the confines of commercial enterprise, to the creation of products by which individuals are exalted for a market-savvy one-upmanship?
The End of the Dream features over 30 internationally renowned artists and three co-curators, invited by curator, Nicole Loeser. From 31/08/2011 to 03/09/2011 their work will be installed in a former safe factory in Wedding. In addition to an exhibition of paintings, videos and installations, the program will include performances, artist talks and lectures. Realizing the dream of an independent experiment, the goal of the Mica Moca Project-Berlin and now Nicole Loeser is to create a place for utopian dreams and alternate worlds. Wedding is currently in transition; with respect to other parts of Berlin, this ungentrified area with vast offerings of open space is now being bought up and commercialized more and more - plastered figuratively as much as literally. In the end of September the site of this exhibition will also be converted into lofts and offices. Following a sort of rude awakening from the dream of capitalism and the recent months’ market economy, will it be possible for us to dream a new dream?

I look to the sky and miss the ceiling. Recent works by Michael Zheng (USA-CN) 24.06.2011 - 19.08.2011 Artist Talk: 13.07.2011, 5 pm
WHITECONCEPTS is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Chinese artist Michael Zheng in Berlin. From 24 June - 19 August 2011 new photographic works and sculptures next to videos will be exposed in the exhibition "I LOOK TO THE SKY AND MISS THE CEILING".
The performance and conceptual artist studied first computer science at Tsinghua University in China, then moved to San Francisco, where he worked more than 10 years as a software designer in Bay Area / Silicon Valley. After that he decided to study at the San Francisco Art Institute with Paul Kos, Tony Labat and John Roloff. He also studied with Nari Ward and Patty Chang at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. His work shows traces of interventionist thinking studying cultural and social dependence on institutional and existential levels. With his conceptual approach, which is steeped in sincerity, absurdity and humor, he creates situations, questioning the established positions so that new perspectives can be experienced. His works are characterized by a performative character and are often shown in the form of photographs, video and sculptural installations. Exhibitions led the artist already all over the world. In 2010 he had an exhibition at the Marina Abramovic Institute in San Francisco, which is dedicated to profiling and documentation of performance art. In 2009 Michael Zheng was a participant in the Vancouver Biennale in Canada. From 2 July - 28 August 2011 works by Michael Zheng are to be seen in the group exhibition "Nomadic Settlers - Settled Nomads" in the artspace Kreuzberg / Bethanien Berlin. |

art Karlsruhe 2011 André Wagner - One Artist Show 10.03.2011 - 13.03.2011
LOCATION: Booth H4-L 08, Messeallee 1, 76287 Rheinstetten
At the fair art Karlsruhe WHITECONCEPTS shows a fine selection of the oeuvre by German artist Andre Wagner (*1980). Romantic inclined and picturesque in their effect atmospheric landscape photographs are confronted with impressive architectural works, some of them are presented for the first time at the fair. Wagner succeeds in a remarkable way of perceiving internal and external phenomena of a situation. With virtuoso camera technology he produces authentic images that are not digitally manipulated. Wagner often summarizes single works into series. The moment depicted is deliberately loaded with content that rise above the purely aesthetic result. This effect is further enhanced when Wagner is working with very long exposure times and lets the material also speak. Exhibitions and study tours have taken the young emerging artist so far thoughout Europe, to China, New Zealand and the USA.

The exhibition explores artistic ideas about the self and strange observation, which has changed enormously with the available digital media.
Questions about the nature of reality are raised and studied in detail, subjective and objective reality. Are perception and reality actually congruent? Information can hardly even concentrate. Illusion, reality and fiction mingle. How we use reality today? Targeted monitoring as the surveillance by cameras are received with mixed feelings, what do they really record and who evaluates the data? Is Orwell´s idea of 1984 "big brother is watching you" realized here? On one hand, private should remain private when it comes not on Google Street View to land. On the other hand, the company secures copyrights. Where we lay a contradiction, and whose data we just delete? In relation to the Internet platform Wikileaks, the question is precisely of what information we need today, and how the collective consciousness form. How can we control our thoughts to hold the actual course of things, if we do not want to subject a permanent illusion? Monitoring as a self-defense or to protect others? The ridge is very narrow. With electronic media, it is now possible to make data available, thus raising questions for which the international community must find an answer. Because even today, can be manipulated with all available technical achievements opinions and relationships covered up in the small and large scale. The exhibition questions our relationship to it. |

Count for Nothing Katrin Korfmann (NL) 19.11.2010 - 20.01.2011 In cooperation with Gallery Kai Hilgemann, Berlin/DE Supported by 2X2 PROJECTS, Amsterdam/NL![]() ![]() ![]() In the context of the European Month of Photography Berlin LOCATION: Zimmerstrasse 90/91, 10117 Berlin Katrin Korfmann focuses on the apparently ordinary. Her emphatically neutral vision suggests a high degree of objectivity, while at the same time taking us into a fictional world. In a process embracing a variety of materials and media, she documents daily situations with the photographic or video camera and combines the individual shots subsequently into a complete work. A carefully planned choreography makes it possible for the artist to control the perception of her pictures. She places the evanescence of an event at the centre of observation, brings different moments in time to a single point and so gives the impression of a kind of ‘magical moment’. The viewer becomes the victim of illusion – the more secure you imagine yourself to be, the more persistently effective the artist’s manipulation. The fascination of Korfmann’s pictures lies in her creation of an illusory simultaneity, which unfolds into a world of details. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published by d´jonge hond, Amsterdam/NL. The full colour catalogue is published in English and consists of 128 pages with texts by Tina Rahimy, Nicole Loeser, Rogério Taveira. Available for 28 EUR.

Television André Wagner (DE) 20.10.2010 – 20.11.2010 In cooperation with Gallery Horst Dietrich ![]() In the context of the European Month of Photography Berlin LOCATION: Giesebrechtstrasse 19, 10629 Berlin André Wagner (*1980) is in search of the primeval forces of nature. Inspired by the situations he finds, sometimes supplemented by imaginative staged scenarios, he captures powerful impressions of people and places. The exhibition shows two series from the year 2010. The central theme of these works is the overlap of different levels of time and space. With a sure sense of ‘the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous’ (Ernst Bloch), Wagner catches moments of privacy that are determined by the atmosphere of the room. The portrait of a man meditating on a roof is juxtaposed with the view of an interior that is illuminated only by the light of a television set. In Wagner’s work every moment seems to be loaded with content which goes beyond the purely aesthetic message. This effect is enhanced still further when the photographer works with long exposures. ‘The light imaged is my path through time,’ as he once described it. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published by Darling Publications, Cologne/DE. Full coloured and published in German and English it consists of 50 pages with an essay by Arne Rautenberg. Available for 30 EUR. Order here SPECIAL: 28.10.2010, 5 - 9pm, „after work“ walkaroundcharlottenburg< |

Grammar of the Douro Recent works by Greg Murr (USA) 20.09.2010 - 18.10.2010
Artist Statement
In 2005 I began making pictures using recombined satellite photos. I had been living in New York City for several years and took periodic trips along the Hudson River to points north. In hopes of connecting with the outside world while carrying forward my interest in dynamics, I chose water as my principal building material and subject. I parsed a satellite image of the Hudson into twenty-six pieces and reconfigured its segments, transcribing these individual shapes in pencil onto watercolor paper. The initial result was a vaguely suggestive plant form, every reach of the river overlapping another and growing upward into the white of the page. |

constructing clouds Thorsten Goldberg (DE) - solo show 20.08.2010 - 10.10.2010 In cooperation with Piecunia LOCATION: Chausseestraße 13, 10115 Berlin SPECIAL EVENT: 18.06.2010 Cumulus Berlin Inauguration of the sculpture of Thorsten Goldberg for the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection, Berlin/DE LOCATION: Wilhelmstraße 54, 10117 Berlin A stylized white and shiny cumulus cloud is set rotatable on the very tip of a traversable mast with arm inside the newly build garden of The Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV), Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin. The cumulus is made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) Size of the cloud ca. 3,5 x 2,5 x 2,5m. The chrome surfaced mast is slewable by wind and via a steel handle by hand ca. 200° around the corner of the building. Mast height ca. 11m with 6m arm. Thorsten Goldberg is well-known for his architectural art projects. Dealing intensivly with science and environment and inspired by the relation between people and nature he creates poetic sculptures. „Cumulus Berlin“ combines the playful easiness of a child’s mind with serious considerations of an adult. The careful handling with ressources affects at the same time our thoughts referring to trancendency and Utopia. On the occasion of the realization of the sculpture „Cumulus Berlin“ the exhibition "Constructing Clouds" at the Borsig-Villa shows drawings, sketches and other cloud objects. |

cities in flux Group show with Susanne Kessler (DE/IT), Karen Lebergott (USA), Greg Murr (USA), Mayumi Okabayashi (JP), Michael Yuen (AUS/CN) 22.06.2010 - 15.08.2010 Lecture "cities: what is a city? city in flux." by Michael Yuen: 21.06.2010, 4:30pm
Cities of flux are places of infinite possibilities. They begin as infinite chaos. They occur at the birth of a nation: post war Tokyo or New York, during 1860, during the steam boat era or present day Beijing are examples. In these cities we can test philosophy and reality. Here, when we make an intervention the stakes are higher than in a stable city, the repercussions greater. Within these cities of flux, we find rapidly changing social structures and built environments with no clear direction. And, in them it is not enough tomerely describe and document, but rather it is important to find tools for acting in them. Ideas from Europe and America which have been for a long time useful in the city, no longer fit comfortably with the reality of Asia´s mega cities. By testing it and by intervening into it, what might we learn from the city of flux? By living in it.
