Looking Back: Arndt Berlin at Art Dubai 2012⁠
⁠
Art Dubai is the Middle East’s leading international art fair, taking place every March in Dubai, UAE. Over the past 15 years, Art Dubai has cemented its role in being a major catalyst in the local, regional and international conversations on art from the Middle East and surrounding region (MENASA – Middle East, North Africa & South Asia), and putting art from these territories onto the global map.⁠
⁠
Arndt Berlin was pleased to present the work of several artists in their booth that year by artists such as @ateliermack, @studioekonugroho, @jitishkallat, Jean-Paul Guiragossian, and Khosrow Hassanzadeh.⁠

Looking Back: Art Stage Singapore 2016⁠
⁠
Years before Art Stage would close their operations, Arndt Berlin presented the works of several artists during the height of the event's popularity at Singapore Art Week. This included pieces by @_christopherlebrun, Jigger Cruz, Mit Jai Inn, @ateliermack, Amir Nikravan, and Arin Dwihartanto Sunaryo. Arndt also presented artworks by @studioekonugroho, @entangwiharso, and Yudi Sulistyo in public locations during the fair.⁠

Artist Highlight: Johanna Dumet⁠
⁠
The French artist @ johanna_dumet's latest exhibition at @office_impart sees the artist stepping away from the large-scale, opulently filled scenes of tables that she built her name from. She is now turning to the opposite: the artist focuses on colors, which she places adjacently in such a manner that surfaces emerge from them, the horse or riding camel as historically significant subjects occurring as negative space. - From the show text by Laura Helena Wurth⁠

Ben Quilty: Portraiture⁠
⁠
@benquilty is a contemporary Australian artist whose thickly painted landscapes and portraits have garnered international acclaim. Working in a style that remains both highly expressive and naturalistic, Quilty aims to delve into the emotional qualities of places and people through his gestural application of paint. His use of visible brush marks recalls the techniques of artists such as Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach, though remains distinctive in Quilty’s vivid use of spectral color. His previous solo exhibition with us at @cromwellplace, entitled "Free Fall" focuses heavily on portraiture, creating spectators for large scales scenes of violent action.⁠

Artist Highlight: Jackson Po***ck⁠
⁠
In contrast to the mythic image of Po***ck at work in his studio, pouring paint onto large scale canvases with wild and spontaneous gestures, his prints portray him⁠
as a methodical and deliberate worker who painstakingly experimented in small scale on paper.⁠
⁠
Examining a little-known aspect of the celebrated artist‘s career The Museum of Modern Art, New York, comprised nearly thirty works, a notable range of Po***ck‘s exceedingly rare prints in 1999. Most of the works featured in the exhibition were unique or known only in a few examples, including six works from a series of screen prints found in 1984, now part of the Museum‘s collection. These important works, which were neither documented nor shown publicly until 1995, provided remarkable insight into the artist‘s working method and creative process.⁠

Artist Highlight: Lena Marie Emrich⁠
⁠
@berlinmastersfoundation's 2020 #TOYBerlinMastersAward winner @lenamemrich's latest offering is part of a series at @office_impart featuring her as well as works by @johanna_dumet and @hannahsophiedunkelberg.⁠
⁠
Writer Emily McDermott describes the show as "Emrich pointing toward micro-pauses experienced in everyday liquid life -- micro-pauses that are forced while the water keeps flowing, making manifest the seconds between here and there, between now and then." Emrich's combination of engraved text into familiar glass structures such as car windows render the objects on the walls "transformed into chameleonic, open-ended forms, ready to adapt to our own projections."⁠

Artist Highlight: Abdul Abdullah⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As a self-described ‘outsider amongst outsiders’ @abdul_abdullah operates with a post 9/11 mindset -- his practice is primarily concerned with the experience of the ‘other’. Abdullah’s projects have engaged with different marginalized minority groups and he is particularly interested in the disjuncture between perception/projection of identity and the reality of lived experience. Identifying as a Muslim and having both Malay/Indonesian and convict/settler Australian heritage, Abdullah occupies a precarious space in the political discourse that puts him at odds with popular definitions.⁠⁠

The Flinders Street Station Ballroom in Melbourne will open to the public on November 8th to become "A Miracle Constantly Repeated"—an eco-system of hyper-real silicone sculptures, video, sound and light devised by artist @patricia.piccinini.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
From the famous Canberra Skywhale to her gripping anthropomorphic visual creations – each a stark comment on sexuality, motherhood, and the relationship between humans and the natural world – Piccinini has spent close to three decades exploring humanity’s relationship to technology and the environment.⁠⁠

Looking Back: Bianca Kennedy⁠'s "VR All In This Together"⁠⁠
⁠⁠
@bianca.kennedy' artistic practice operates across digital mediums and formats. Her VR installation work, "VR All In This Together" combines her analog drawings with animated movements and offers an immersive bathing experience, tying together the sensory experience of her now trademark bathtub motif.⁠⁠

Kennedy is also our most recent artist in residence this past year. Be sure to check back for the latest updates regarding her most recent projects.

Looking Back: Timothy Curtis - Temporary Decisions, Inkblots and Bikes⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Throughout his experiences with the US prison system, Curtis has been sustained by art’s ability to create freedom and peace of mind, even in the most trying situations. Before the lockdown that took place during Berlin's 2nd wave of the pandemic, we were fortunate enough to partner with @albertzbenda to share and present this solo exhibition. While the works in “Temporary Decisions: Inkblots and Bikes” are deeply personal, their interpretations are left entirely to the viewer.⁠⁠

Artist Highlight: Ben Quilty⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Our 2017 exhibition 'mad love', curated by artist @delkathrynbarton, was realized through the direct support of the Australian Government as part of the cultural initiative 'Australia Now' – a year-long program celebrating Australian arts, culture, science and innovation across Germany. This was a budding relationship that allowed us to bring in works by @benquilty, who would present his first solo show with us in 2019, entitled "The Difficulty."⁠⁠
⁠⁠
His work from that show is featured in the accompanying publication for 'mad love' along with other Australian contemporary artists working across multiple visual mediums.⁠⁠

Looking Back: "Kindred⁠" by @patricia.piccinini⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Constructed from silicone and fiberglass, this hybrid sculpture investigates the potential rise of new and troubling developments through the advance of biotechnology and genetic manipulation. Exploring concepts of what is 'natural' in the digital age, #PatriciaPiccinini brings a deeply personal perspective to her work. Piccinini is one of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary artists whose startling sculptures examine the connections between science and nature, art and the environment.⁠⁠

Artist Highlight: Johanna Dumet⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Working with oil paint, oil sticks on canvas previously coated with rabbit glue and often sketched with charcoal is @johanna_dumet classical approach to painting. Such traditional methods are known in Europe since the 15th century. It is important for her to continue to use such a savoir-faire, especially since art is becoming increasingly digitalized.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"La grande bouffe“ is one of Johanna‘s latest oil painting and her biggest to date. It is named after the movie "La grande bouffe“ ("das große Fressen“) directed by Marco Ferreri in 1973. Johanna’s painting depicts a large, joyful and colorful feast mixing food and products from the fashion industry. The painting follows the idea of Ferreri‘s movie and is a satire towards the consumerism and the decadence of the bourgeoisie. But by pointing the consumerism in her painting, Dumet is also making an ode to concepts of desire.⁠⁠
