figures – A collaborative production at stations, Berlin.
09 August 2024
— Heinz Peter Knes
Heinz Peter Knes, DISTANT CASUALS, Ricardo Domeneck
figures is a collaborative durational piece, a performative reflection on different typologies or characters and the energies they transact in society, be it outside or within its norms. These chosen figures exist, but are in equal measure figments of (our) imagination, pyschoanalytical tools, the stuff of mythology. They are: the golden boy, woman with weapon, the doppelganger, and the forgotten. They are enforcers of law, agents of chaos, victim and opressor. They‘re part of a cultural history whose monolithic, solid quality is being called into question. The piece starts from text, becomes film, becomes dance, and ends as spoken word (but it is not a final word).

"Figuration der Trauer
(Paintings want to be touched, too)"
"There are a lot of A4 sheets of paper in my studio. Single words are written on them, sometimes sentences. Memories to myself, things that could be painted. The sheets of paper form groups around the canvases. The picture that arises on the canvas could be the visualisation of a non-linguistic relationship between the words. I bring these sheets of paper with me to the performance in the gallery. There they (and my body) meet Sarah's amazing costume. It is huge and consists of two layers. I imagine it to be heavy and warm. Sarah has painted her version of Pieter Bruegel the Elder's "Land of Cockaigne" on it. Body, costume and sheet of paper become the visualisation of a possible momentary image of the relationships between the Cabinet of Kaput contributions (perhaps!)."

Light House – New public sculpture in Tel Aviv
08 April 2024
— Hilla Toony Navok
From a distance, Hilla Toony Navok's public sculpture "Lighthouse" appears like a slender, colorful, and tall Tel Aviv residential building, where urban Tel Avivian living capsules merge into a colorful and humorous sculptural play. Throughout the day, sunlight is "trapped" within the marquee, and like sunset and sunrise, it emerges and disappears. Navok employs sculptural use of the Israeli "balcony closure" - a common phenomenon of enclosing the balcony as an additional room within the apartment itself. Here, the sculptural "closure" of the marquee allows light to be trapped inside and illuminate the sculpture and its surroundings.
At night, when the colorful marquees are illuminated, it becomes a beacon whose light seen from afar marks the way and serves as a meeting point. The lights that flicker on and off intermittently resemble the lighting patterns of an apartment building where lights turn on and off as the residents enter or leave.

Einzelausstellung "Prospect", Camera Austria, Graz
23 January 2024
— Alexandra Leykauf
Alexandra Leykauf arbeitet mit fotografischen Bildgebungsverfahren wie Direktbelichtungen auf fotosensitive Oberflächen, um die unmittelbare Beziehung zwischen Bild und Betrachtenden zu untersuchen. Ihre Arbeiten spielen mit dem Übergang vom Körper eines Objekts zur Oberfläche des Bildes und zurück zur räumlichen Erfahrung. Sie analysiert die vielfältigen Implikationen sich ändernder Bildkonventionen und Betrachtungsweisen, Fragen von Herkunft und Urheberschaft(en) und letztlich unsere Position gegenüber den widersprüchlichen Wahrheiten zirkulierender Bilder.
Aufbauend auf länger angelegten Bildrecherchen entwickelt Alexandra Leykauf ortsbezogene Ausstellungskonzepte, die spezifische (kunst-)historische Kontexte von Städten zum Ausgangspunkt nehmen, um Fragen des Blicks, Blickbeziehungen und ihrer körperlichen Verortung nachzugehen. Für "Prospect", ihre erste institutionelle Einzelausstellung in Österreich, greift Leykauf auf eine Recherche in den Gemäldesammlungen verschiedener Grazer Museen zurück.

Berlinische Galerie acquiries "Gesture Studies" for its permanent collection
15 October 2023
— Heinz Peter Knes
Heinz Peter Knes' photographic installation "Gesture Studies" is now part of the collection of Berlinische Galerie. The work consists of 139 C-prints, which are mounted on A3 paper and form nine groups. In 2018 Heinz Peter Knes began to collect gestural forms from his earlier portrait works. From all the gestures he finally selected nine gestures that possessed the performative characteristics that suited him, e.g stretching out the hand, turning around oneself, holding the head or feeling the pulse.
Previously the installation was presented 2023 at Amtsalon Berlin in "Touch. Politiken der Berührung", curated by Maren Lübbke-Tidow & Rebecca Wilton, 2021/22 at Duane Thomas Gallery in New York and 2021 at Sismógrafo in Porto, curated by Melissa Canbaz.

The Artocène Festival takes place from 11. June until 23. July on various locations in Chamonix-Montblancs under the title "Horizon of the Void". On the iconic site the festival brings together architecture and contemporary art to create a dialogue with the alpine landscape, symbol of a fragile and moving nature.

Die unhintergehbare Verflechtung aller Leben at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf
25 May 2023
— Ilse Henin
Starting from more than 70 presented works by Ilse Henin, the exhibition weaves a net to the five younger, contemporary positions. The works are united by the interweaving of supposedly classical motifs read as feminine, but they have all developed them into completely different subjects.
"Femininity" as a motif is placed in a contemporary context. The woman is no longer a beautiful accessory or projection surface of the male gaze, but the main figure and identity bearer of the work. Women, as individual figures, in groups or as part of a family or tribe, stand up for themselves and for all they represent. They are strong, self-determined heroes of a new narrative of femininity, aware of their position. At the same time, classical notions of femininity and masculinity are questioned.

Alle Farben fixieren chromosomale Glieder at Kunsthalle Lingen (11.03.–7.05.2023)
11 March 2023
— Tillmann Terbuyken
Kunsthalle Lingen presents a multigenerational group exhibition with the poetic title All Colours Fix Chromosomal Limbs. It is based on a verse from the poem Colors without Objects (1965) by the US poet and author May Swenson, which depicts the play of colour afterimages that appear on the retina for a brief moment when the eyes are closed.
In terms of form and content, the focus is on colours as structural elements for cosmologies and processes of artistic world creation. Starting with the works of two artists who have been using colour to systematise their view of the world artistically since the 1970s - Stano Filko (1938-2015 Bratislava) and Matt Mullican (*1951 Santa Monica) - the curators Meike Behm and Pia-Marie Remmers have invited other artists to illuminate the phenomenon of colour symbolism in their works in different ways: Diana Barbosa Gil, Ryan Gander, Ana Jotta, Johanna Odersky and Tillmann Terbuyken.
Curated by Pia-Marie Remmers and Meike Behm.

New edition available: Stoneage Campfire (2022)
24 August 2022
— Alexandra Leykauf
For her new edition, Alexandra Leykauf arranged stones on black paper and sprayed them with white chalk spray, whose many small pigment dots resemble a printing grid. The scene was then photographed in black and white and printed on red neon paper. Background and foreground are reversed as soon as the black background is applied to the colorful paper and the previously foregrounded chalk spray appears only in its absence.
Alexandra Leykauf has also imagined personified objects in this work: Beings seated in an assembly that appears to have a fire or light bounding them in their midst, or else are illuminated from above. Imagination may create possible occasions for this gathering. In the end, Stoneage Campfire remains, through negative inversion, an image of something unprecedented in form (Text: GAK Bremen)

N A T U R. Group exhibition at Kunsthalle Schlieren (10.07.–07.08.2022)
09 July 2022
— Lily Wittenburg
To the subject, to the ego, nature is only NOT–ME, Schelling remarked some 200 years ago. Nature is a world of appearances, a supersensible substance form – a non-image. And perhaps we are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible. The system of nature is at the same time the system of our spirit. The spiritual world is elastic and constantly changing like a mysterious day. Natural philosophy is visible world spirit and loves to hide. Finally, the artist B.J.BLume stated in a 1982 drawing: "Pure reason is green". Let us hope that the empirical reason and intuition of the world that has gone off the rails today, in the Kunsthalle Schlieren is neither merely "green" nor "properly pure". In this sense, predominantly conceptual works, different dimensions of the experience of nature in the fields of photography, sculpture and painting can be seen in the current exhibition Nature. From experiment – to sensation – to contemplation – to reflection. (Text: Kunsthalle Schlieren)

What We Do in the Shadows at Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst, Bremen
05 January 2022
— Alexandra Leykauf
From different viewpoints, Alexandra Leykauf and Dominik Styk in their two-person exhibition address perspectives and proportions while questioning the expectations and positions of the viewers. Within each artist’s practice, one grounded in photography and the other in sculpture, the eye and body become entangled. It is neither about the image nor the object itself, rather about how they can be approached, and the hierarchies, projections and desires that become revealed or shifted therein. (Excerpt from the press text)
The exhibition is curated by GAK's new director Annette Hans and runs until 15. May 2022.

Solo exhibition at Kunstverein Springhornhof
Solo exhibition at Kunstverein Springhornhof
07 July 2021
— Alexandra Leykauf
Alexandra Leykauf finds the "other" in classical landscape paintings: hidden faces, bodies, pairs of eyes, which she brings out by means of enlargements, re-colouring, rotation and perspective shifting. In nature, we encounter this perceptual phenomenon of "pareidolia" whenever we think we recognise a face in a cloud formation or a figure in a tree trunk. Our ability to recognise ourselves in other people, but also in animals and nature, is the basis for empathy. While "anthropomorphisation" is seen as unscientific and therefore something to be avoided, Leykauf would argue that the objectification of the non-human world got us into the mess we are in today.

Context Colour
Group exhibition at Polarraum in Hamburg
Group exhibition at Polarraum in Hamburg
21 June 2021
— Tillmann Terbuyken
The project Context Colour, curated by Elisabeth Sonneck & Heike Kelter shows "colour" as a subject and a sujet of contemporary art. In the diffuse field of a phenomenon that pervades not only art but also the entire extra-artistic everyday life, Context Colour presents artistic positions of Wolfgang Ganter, Julia Gruner, Heike Kelter, Paul Schwer, David Semper, Elisabeth Sonneck and Tillmann Terbuyken in which "colour" is the main conceptual actor. In accordance with the plurality of current art production, Context Colour does not want to set up a thesis on the current manifestation of "colour", but to open up a field for differentiated observations and discoveries on the basis of the diversity of the selected positions. Exhibition: 26. June – 31. July 2021
