Nevertheless
‘Nevertheless’ asks how it is possible – in our age dominated by media and advertising, ‘unspiritual’ in the main, and widely characterised by superficiality – that the spiritual reveals itself nevertheless in the form of radical philosophy (with a renewed, clear reference to Hegel) and in art, i.e. in a psychically inspired creative force. The […]
Zaum Material II
‘ZAUM MATERIAL II’ is a 10-channel video/sound installation by Ulrich Polster (video) and Christine Scherrer (sound), which is divided into 3 x 3 visual spaces and one projection. The individual visual spaces are oriented on the classical format of the triptych, which is realised digitally in this context. The work is a choreography of found […]
Markus Degerman
Markus Degerman’s works are experiments with architecture and elements of design. His interventions reprocess public, urban or institutional space. To create the installation “No matter how hard you work…”, Degerman reconstructed architectonic elements from various settings and set them within the exhibition space as sculptural objects: an accessible, u-shaped metal grid structure like the ones […]
Ming Wong
In his latest work Ming Wong investigates theatrical manifestations of language and identity. Based on the conviction that film is the best-suited medium to gain insights into foreign languages and cultures, Ming reinterprets classics of world cinema, foreign-language TV films, and theatre productions. During his residency at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Ming developed his latest video […]
Haris Epaminonda
Haris Epaminonda uses various collage techniques – making cut-outs with a scalpel, tearing out certain parts of a picture, or constructing neat paper folds – to rework found footage from picture books or old film footage. But unlike the seamless juxtaposition characteristic of classic montage patterns, the images she creates remain in a subtle state […]
Nathalie Latham
Nathalie Latham travels to very different countries all over the world, seeking to understand the universal quality within the manifold forms of human experience and to express it by artistic means. Documenting the living conditions, cultures and emotional concerns of the people that she meets, she wants her artistic work to sharpen each individual’s awareness […]
Luca Trevisani
Luca Trevisani’s works are experiments aiming at a definition of the manifold relations between space, object, architecture and the viewers within it. Partly, they are manifest as performances in real time with audience participation, or else they take the form of sculptures and photographs documenting past experiments. Trevisani’s objects often resemble hand-made apparatuses or bizarre […]
Catherine Bolduc
Catherine Bolduc’s installations invite visitors to experience fantastic, playful spaces in which the banal is frequently stylised, transforming it into something miraculous. Striking mirror effects, coloured light, flashing stroboscopes or just the sheer accumulation and illumination of glittering baubles create wonderful, ephemeral fantasy worlds so fragile that they evade physical assimilation. In Studio 3, Catherine […]
Søren Lose
Søren Lose’s current artistic practice concerns topics such as architecture, symbolism, power and myths. The basis of his work is found documentary material, which he presents in new aesthetic and conceptual contexts. “Abendland” (Occident) is a project concerning the history of Berlin, a place where diverse epochs and political systems are mirrored in the city’s […]
Daydreams & Dark Sides
The exhibition ‘Daydreams & Dark Sides’ pays witness to our indefinable age – transitory moments as the counterpart to a reduction of art to simple functions and platforms of discourse that deliberate over the merely superficial. Every person probably has his dreams, every night, but they evaporate with his first look into the mirror next morning. […]
