Stuart A. Staples & Suzanne Osborne
Singing Skies evolved from cooperation between musician Stuart A. Staples – lead singer and guitarist of the band Tindersticks – and painter Suzanne Osborne. The exhibition in Künstlerhaus Bethanien is based on the two artists’ original idea to bring together, in a book, works from Osborne’s series of paintings A year in small paintings – […]
Dörte Kraft
Dörte Kraft’s painterly work can be divided roughly into two categories: geometrical, representational works and expressive, abstract painting. Kraft’s oversized images generally have no beginning and no end – rather, it seems that a kind of intermittent rotation around a central point is happening within them. The painterly lines form snails, whirls and eddies from which […]

“Stella Island is the world’s newest wonder. Situated in the heart of the Aegean Sea, in the Southern Cyclades, Stella is the largest artificial island ever created.

Reiko Kanazawa
Reiko Kanazawa employs different media such as installation, sculpture, video and text, and questions the diverging perceptions of reality in a poetic manner, particularly focussing on the contrasting vantage points in Japan and the West. Using an artistic strategy characterised to equal degrees by fine irony and a refreshing triviality, Kanazawa attempts to undermine apparently […]
Stian Ådlandsvik
In his works Stian Ådlandsvik deconstructs the familiar and so creates a space for new contexts and perspectives. The artist conceives a sensitive interplay between self-reflection and the processual on the basis of sculptures, photographs, drawings and objects. He designs copies of copies, making reconstructions and experimental set-ups. The artist has developed some new works […]
