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. […]
Roderick Hietbrink
Corvus corone cornix, the hooded crow, is not just any old crow. It is an indicator of east and west. Because the various crow families have divided up Europe among themselves, we only encounter hooded crows east of the Elbe, where – like their western relatives – they inhabit border regions between populated districts and the […]
Richard Grayson
Richard Grayson’s most recent work may present a painful musical challenge to friends of traditional performance praxis. After all, the British artist has applied himself to an almost holy cultural relic and is presenting a new Country and Western adaptation of Handel’s “Messiah”. Grayson is primarily interested in the libretto, which propagates a messianic interpretation […]
Pash Buzari
With SPACEISTHEPLACE at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Pash Buzari is presenting the first part in a trilogy of exhibitions to be continued at other venues. The cineaste’s environment consists of photographic and architectural components combined to create a constellation then shown as a counterpoint to an installation employing light. The exhibition is based on Buzari’s continued investigation […]
Eva-Maria Bogaert
For some time now, Eva-Maria Bogaert has made it her task to replace what she sees as a lost component of fine art: sound. She combines film techniques and painting not only with music, but above all with an investigation of those sounds that can become apparent during the perception of colours: tonal impressions gained […]
