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 […]
Alex Morrison
Free Room is a new artistic interpretation of “If”, a film portrait of society in which one of the great outsiders of British cinema, Lindsay Anderson, depicts the system of elite private schools in England. For his video installation, Alex Morrison restages individual scenes from Anderson’s film and presents them to the audience in three parallel […]
BULL. MILETIC
Since Synne Bull and Dragan Miletic founded BULL. MILETIC in the year 2000, they have been investigating the relationship between presentation and media representation, object and medium, with all its nuances. They combine their analysis with an examination of the urban characteristics of the city in which they are staying. As a consequence, their Berlin […]
Mathieu Mercier
Mathieu Mercier’s installation arouses associations with functional objects and their everyday use by relating elements such as a curtain, screen, glass case, fireplace or supporting beam to the enclosed, windowless exhibition studio with its dominant architecture of pillars. A red velvet stage curtain with a printed metallic grille pattern covers the wall opposite the entrance […]
Katarina Löfström
Katarina Löfström’s works could be referred to as visual puzzles in which the borders between art and Pop, autonomous form and design, film image and painting become blurred with each altering perspective. The artist not only bans representation as far as possible, she also eliminates the static quality of painting from her animated sequences; it only reappears […]
Local Connection
The Norwegian artist and curator Annette Kierulf is not only presenting an exhibition in Studio 227, but also a system of curating. As in the exhibition space “By the Way” in Bergen, of which she was co-founder, here it is also a question of the site-specificity of art works, of “connectivity” as the curator herself […]
.ipeg
Until 18th April, the Künstlerhaus will be showing .ipeg.bild. ton.maschine, an exhibition investigating the link between images and sound in contemporary art. The exhibition opposes rigid definitions and the practised distinctions between sound, music and contemporary art. .ipeg.bild.ton. maschine investigates interdisciplinary qualities shared by the different artistic spheres and provides a wide-ranging, experimental definition of music.
