Sensorium/ Go Into The Space
Mark Themann’s multi-layered art practice incorporates installations, performance, drawings, photo and print media. His installations and performances touch a terrain, which hovers between the phenomenological, the absurd, the tautological and the paradoxical. “Sensorium / Go Into This Space” is an installation in two parts, specifically conceived by the artist for the entrance space and the […]
THAT WOULD BE TELLING
ASSAF GRUBER’s artistic practice combines several media and is equally expressive and performative. His works evade simple categorisation and can be best described, perhaps, as “allegorical spatial arrangements” – on the one hand, they are always an expression of the artist’s efforts to overcome the limitations of sculpture, while on the other hand seeking to […]
Falkenrot Prize 2012
First endowed in 2005, the FALKENROT PRIZE pays tribute to artists at home and abroad whose work seems likely to set new standards in contemporary painting as well as adjacent fields. As in the past, Künstlerhaus Bethanien presents the work of the prize-winner, shown in the form of a comprehensive solo exhibition. The prize-winner in […]
Direct Approach
Stine Marie Jacobsen works with video, performance and text. Key themes in Jacobsen’s work are cinema and film, gender archetypes, anonymity, death and violence, as well as their portrayal and presentation in film. In “Direct Approach”, as in many of her projects, Jacobsen interacts with a wide spectrum of people from various fields of life […]
Berlin.Status (1)
BERLIN.STATUS (1) investigates the big-city phenomenon of art, starting out from the observation that Berlin today is “an art city with no consensus”. The exhibition presents artists who doubt in the necessity for large-scale mobilisation and are therefore working intellectually and aesthetically to supplement or sharpen their own very personal profile. Although they have definitely […]
Zuspiel
A further edition of our ZUSPIEL series presents an installation by Robert Lippok in cooperation with the eLand Workshop. Robert Lippok was invited by Italian architect Matteo Ferroni to develop an audio work for the project “Foroba Yelen” run by the eLand Workshop in the Segou region in Mali, and to this purpose visited some […]
Eat the Magic Lions
Xavier Mary’s sculptures and installations are as minimalist as they are frequently overwhelming in dimension. Their own dramatic tension enables them to skilfully evade a purely formal reading and to fascinate the viewer merely by employing a truly endless number of technical refinements. For “Eat The Magic Lions” Mary has realised three huge lion’s head […]
Mysterema
Gabrielle de Vietri’s works are multimedia, using performance, video, photography and text. They often take the shape of small experiments, and illuminate the evolution of identity and patterns of human behaviour before the background of socio-cultural and philosophical issues. In the exhibition “Mysterema”, de Vietri is showing two new works: “Captcha” is an audiovisual projection […]
Cover Versions
The key subject of Song-Ming Ang’s works and performances is music; he investigates its influences on society and the individual. Ang uses materials such as songs, musical instruments or fan articles, which he reshapes following his own logic and self-imposed restrictions, or puts into new contexts that often astonish the viewer. The exhibition “Cover Versions” […]
