In 2003, the “Asociación OjodePez” in Barcelona launched the magazine of documentary photography “OjodePez”. The association was founded by several photographers with the following declared aims: to internationally promote documentary photography with all its facets and to publish specific themes and photographic projects neglected in conventional media and publications due to a lack of apparent […]
Andrew Hurle
Andrew Hurle makes the technologies of mechanical and digital image reproduction into both the medium and subject of his work. This practice has developed from the simple use of technical reproductive apparatus into an intense observation of the structures and processes upon which this technology is founded. Hurle has a preference for already existing graphic […]
Ronnie van Hout
Ronnie van Hout’s artistic originality is sustained by his self irony and the cryptic humour with which he dismantles subjects such as finding identity, cultural affiliation and the search for self-realisation, all of which are usually so resistant to humour. Often the installations resemble distorted self-portraits of the artist, who appears within his own works […]
The Helsinki School
The exhibition “The Helsinki School – A New Approach” – a cooperative project between the Künstlerhaus Bethanien GmbH and the TaiK: University of Art and Design Helsinki – is a touring exhibition due to travel all over Europe. It intends to show a wider international audience the working methods of 22 artists trained in the […]
Benoît Goupy
In museums and exhibition spaces, entire professions work on the untouchable, inalterable qualities of art. But in his work, Benoît Goupy turns this defence of the status quo on its head. The material and media he employs are the generally undesired effects of human presence on the climatic conditions or of the background architecture on […]
Urban Realities
Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles two continents, thus connecting Orient and Occident. The cultural interrelations between these two regions of the world, as manifested in the city Istanbul and in its interaction with European cities, are important aspects of the extensive exhibition. But the exhibition does not represent the aesthetic […]
Josée Dubeau
Essentially, Josée Dubeau views her work with sculptures, installations and drawings as a laboratory for investigation into human living conditions. With her installation in Studio 2 of the Künstlerhaus, the artist has created a space that one could describe as the topography of office architecture: desks, some shelves and filing cabinets appear to be waiting […]
Damien Deroubaix
When Damien Deroubaix investigates political and social themes, anarcho-punk penetrates the world of art. Using a wide range of materials and techniques, he assembles quite extensive installations. Everything with name and status in the economy, politics and society may appear in these, from icons of contemporary history to the world of global companies and the […]
Daniela Brahm
Although Daniela Brahm is indisputably a painter, her pictures often evolve into very three-dimensional architecture. For example, gallery exhibitions may be transformed into accessible urban areas when a number of paintings join together to create a course of flattened, fictive buildings. Following this, the viewer no longer knows whether painting is dallying with its own […]
Kristina Bræin
Kristina Bræin makes use of the formal language of minimalist abstraction for her site-specific interventions in the exhibition space. The starting point and most important element of her artistic practice is always a dialogue with the available space. She employs unspectacular, everyday objects and materials for her work, and the results as such cannot immediately […]
