Accrochage

Online Gruppenausstellung

Rudi-Dutschke-Strasse 26
10969 Berlin

Due to the current situation we postponed our exhibition Taumel by Felix Kiessling to September 2020 in conjunction with the official Gallery Weekend Berlin.

In this difficult time we cannot make any plans and won’t invite an artist for an exhibition that would not get the attention it deserves.

We are pleased to use this time for another great initiative: Please have a look at our Accrochage – a selection of works by: Julius von Bismarck, Ekaterina Burlyga, Felix Kiessling, Fabian Knecht, Egor Kraft, Gereon Krebber, Ella Littwitz, Mischa Leinkauf, Nik Nowak, Colin Snapp, Vicky Uslé and Sinta Werner.

The online brochure accompaning the exhibition in the gallery gives you a special insight into the artists’ practices narrating background stories of the works.

You are very welcome to visit the gallery by appointment.

NOWs: Sand (Lommel) by Elise Eeraerts and Roberto Aparicio Ronda

Nows ⟶

Sand (Lommel)intervention by Elise Eeraerts and Roberto Aparicio Ronda This year the intervention Sand (Lommel) will be realized at three different locations in the city center of Lommel, Belgium. It connects sand, nature, past and future in a special way. Lommel and sand as a material are intertwined through geological occurrences forming layers of sand measuring hundreds of meters below the earth’s surface. These contain quartz sand typical for the area, a fine and extremely white sand which is mined for its properties and purity. One line divided in three parts, made of sand in the pavement will visually connect three parks in the city. Through drilling until a depth of 200 meters, sand samples have been taken at each meter. Each sand sample will be made into triangular ceramic elements as a part of the intervention. A line made of three parts will be composed of more than 1000 modular triangles to form the layers of sand in their true scale. So, sand that was located at a depth of precisely 100 meters below the earth will instead be situated in a line at a length of 100 meters on the surface of the earth. This way the depth and visual aspect of the layers of sand become perceivable. In order to complement this intervention, additional triangular elements will be assembled into tetrahedron shaped, helices that mimic the atomic crystal structure of quartz (sand), also know as silicon dioxide. Some tetrahedrons will contain plants that are typical of the biodiversity of Lommel’s dune landscape. Other tetrahedrons will be covered in sand patterns, in reference to the local tradition of making sand carpets. Moreover, during a performative event, sand carpets will be installed temporarily in the city center. Finally, the exact spot where the drilling occurred will be sealed with a silicon wafer, as a small memorial. This circular disc has the same diameter and shape as the drill. Silicon is crucial in our highly technological inventions, and it is the processed result that is extracted from silicon dioxide. That way the old – the natural, geological past revealed by the drilling, and the new – material transformation in science and technology, are confronted with each other. These interventions combine and originated from the idea of making the invisible visible. From the vast layers of sand, to the crystal structures of the quartz atoms and forgotten traditions, the presence of these elements in public space will make these ideas and therefore the city’s identity more tangible.

NOWs: AIRBORNE

25. April 2020 / Nows ⟶

AIRBORNE Although lock-down measures across the world are slowly being loosened, cultural institutions and exhibition spaces still remain largely closed. We are therefore opening the guaranteed corona-free exhibition project Airborne – contactlessly transmitted messages, designed for this new, socially distant world. On Saturday 25th April starting at 8 in the morning a balloon will ascend into the sky of Berlin every 15-30 minutes. Attached to each balloon will be a piece of paper carrying a thought, sketch, photograph or poem from artists, writers, curators and thinkers. They shall be released into the world like messages in a bottle. The original works can be found scattered around Berlin and Brandenburg from April 25th, and the event will also be shared live on Instagram from @airborne_project starting at 8 am. The individual contributions can be viewed on the project website www.airborne-project.com from 8 pm. A project by Diana Sprenger and Euan Williams with contributions by Be Andr, Rosie Arnold, Sven Beckstette, Fritz Bornstück, Nino Cais, Leon Eixenberger, Ivana Franke, Andreas Greiner, Lutz Henke, Alison Hugill, Samuel Imbach, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Shinae Kim, Nele Köhler, Lydia Korndörfer, Diana Liljelund, Rebecca Partridge, Gerald Pirner, Sophia Pompery, Tiago Romagnani Silveira, Otto E. Rossler, Rike Scheffler, Nina Schuiki, Diana Sprenger, Yuichiro Jose Tamura, Julia Katharina Thiemann, Lukas Töpfer, Tomoyuki Ueno, Bernard Vienat, Tom Wagner, Jonas Wendelin, Euan Williams, e.a. AIRBORNE Die Lockdown-Maßnahmen werden auf der ganzen Welt langsam zurückgefahren, doch kulturelle Institutionen und Ausstellungsräume bleiben noch immer weitgehend geschlossen. Wir eröffnen deshalb das garantiert coronafreie Ausstellungsprojekt Airborne – kontaktlos übermittelte Botschaften, konzipiert für diese neue, sozial distanzierte Welt. Am Samstag, den 25. April 2020, steigt ab 8 Uhr morgens alle 15 – 30 Minuten ein Luftballon in den Himmel über Berlin auf. An jeden Ballon ist ein Papier geheftet, das einen Gedanken, eine Zeichnung, eine Fotografie oder ein Gedicht von Künstlern, Autoren und Kuratoren in die Welt trägt. Im Gegensatz zum unbestimmten Versand einer intimen Flaschenpost, oft bestückt mit Sorgen, Nöten und Ängsten, kalkulieren die Autoren des Airborne-Projekts das Entdecken ihrer Botschaft fest ein. Gefunden zwischen Sträuchern, auf Balkonen oder Parkplätzen, in Coronakrisenzeiten mehrere Hundertmeter weit entfernt übergeben. Die subtile Anspielung auf die luftgetragene Infektion des Corona-Virus ist auch ein Versuch, den Akt des Kunstbetrachtens in Quarantäne weg von rein online-basierten Lösungen großer Institutionen zu leiten. Die Originalkunstwerke sind ab 25. April in Berlin und Umgebung verstreut zu finden, zudem wird die Veranstaltung ab 8 Uhr live auf Instagram unter @airborne_project geteilt. Die einzelnen Beiträge können ab 20 Uhr auf der Projektwebsite www.airborne-project.com eingesehen werden.
