Evanthia Tsantila
In Studio 2 of the Künstlerhaus, Evanthia Tsantila is projecting her highly subjective adaptation of a classic of film history. She has transposed Ingmar Bergman’s “The Silence“ (1962) into her own video version – composed as a series of excerpts – and into a group of large-format drawings that lend a new autonomy to the […]
Operation Swanlake
Operation Swanlake is the documentation of a research project by the London Institute of Militronics and Advanced Time Interventionality (IMATI) and a colleague involved in this, Rosalind Brodsky, which Suzanne Treister is now presenting to the Berlin public. IMATI is a government institute which develops technologies for time travel and tests their use for military […]
Beyond the Limits
The exhibition Jenseits der Grenzen (Beyond the Limits) collects together three photo projects by Mitra Tabrizian from the years 1998 to 2001: Minimal Utopia, Silent Majority and the eight-part photo series Beyond the Limits. The large-format photographs depict apparently android people in an autistic world. Unscrupulous, highly-developed technologies make it seem that everything is for sale and […]
Monika Sosnowska
Monika Sosnowska works with large-format installations, sometimes filling an entire room, or with mural paintings employing the techniques of trompe l’oeil. The resulting architectonic constructions can be walked into and around, and they form their own, self-contained worlds, simultaneously irritating and enchanting the viewer by means of their peculiar proportions and labyrinthine passages. In the […]
Marike Schuurman
Marike Schuurman works with photos, films and videos which depict reality without aiming to be mere documentation. The artist attempts to track down the small, hidden irritations concealed behind the appearance of reality; those that question our familiar view of things. Her large-format photo works challenge the public to investigate subliminal picture content and to […]
Erasmus Schröter
In his Berlin exhibition, the Leipzig photo artist Erasmus Schröter – who made his name with eccentric light scenarios that integrated bunkers along the Atlantic coast – is showing relics from the former GDR as well as his own works. Besides a collection of coloured, abstract glass trays, these include numerous postcards made from real […]
Egill Saebjörnsson
Egill Saebjörnsson’s work focuses on experimentation with sound and music, whereby he also makes frequent use of illustrations, photography and performance. He often combines a number of artistic media in order to arrive at his calculated effect in the wide sphere between the art world and the music business. This is also true of Egill […]
Reynold Reynolds
When traumas and alienation emerge from behind the perfect veneer of TV soaps and cinematic romances, their peaceful, smooth-running idyll turns into catastrophe. The film and video artist Reynold Reynolds uses his experience as a film theorist in order to visualise this collision between the idealised cliché and its opposite in his videos and installations. […]
Jorge Queiroz
There is no term commonly used in art history that might be applied to Jorge Queiroz’ works. His often large-format artworks on paper integrate different materials, and they are neither sketch-like preparation for later work, nor do they represent self-contained artistic products in themselves. The fifty new works that he is showing at the Künstlerhaus […]
Painful But Fabulous
Performances and actions, photography, multi-media installation, music and text – there is an impressive diversity in the artistic techniques and methods with which Genesis P-orridge has sought to bring art closer to life over the last thirty years. The artist, who lives in New York, attacks the establishment, petit-bourgeois mentality and social immobility using methods […]
