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 […]
Sergio Belinchón
Sergio Belinchón considers architecture and urbanity from anthropological standpoints. Examining people’s housing, he analyses lifestyles rather than architectonic styles, seeing a collective reflection of people’s way of life in urban buildings. Video material – originally documentary – is thereby converted until it demonstrates very specific aspects of human life in urban surroundings, while in his […]
Gure Artea
Gure Artea is the joint exhibition by the three prize-winners in the most important Basque competition for young contemporary art, won last year by José Ramón Amondarain, Jon Mikel Euba and Pepo Salazar. The competition is organised by the Basque government’s Ministry of Culture and was first shown in the Artium, the Basque Museum for […]
Videofestival
It will also be possible to see current video works from Mexico on the opening evening and from 5th to 12th May during the opening times of exhibitions at the Künstlerhaus. The motto is “come closer”, and the curator Paola Santoscoy invites visitors to take a closer look at current video production by young Mexican […]
Iris van Dongen
From 24th February onwards, visitors to Studio 3 of the Künstlerhaus will find themselves captivated by a sombre kind of Romanticism. Iris van Dongen’s large-format drawings jumble iconographies and symbols, and desires and moral judgements, until finally all opposites and criteria are abolished, compelling the viewer to seek his own standpoint. Death’s head symbols appear […]
