Happy to share the Interview with Joachim Kreibohm for Artist Magazin on why I became a galerist, if art has to perform, why I appreciate art that touches the audience on a deeper level and of course - why I represent so many female artist 😉

"We are all part of the system which is broken. We exploit, overproduce, over-consume, unreasonably dispose, and destroy. We choose not to see the devastation we leave behind.
Fashion waste is used as a symbol. The imprinted message is for us. The party is over!"

100 Jahre Frauen in Kunstakademien: Zeit für eine Frauenquote in öffentlichen Sammlungen
Die Künstlerin und Buch-Autorin Janine Mackenroth fordert eine Quote bei Sammeltätigkeiten in öffentlichen Museen. „Wenn 60 Prozent der Kunstabsolventinnen Frauen sind und sogar 90 Prozent der Kunstgeschichts-Studentinnen, gibt es keinen Grund, keine Quote einzuführen“. Freiwillig kauften di...
For the exhibition FRANK WALTER - A RETROSPECTIVE Kapwani Kiwanga created a new artwork: Matières premières is currently on view at MMK - MUSEUM FÜR MODERNE KUNST in Frankfurt am Main ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During the colonial period, sugarcane was the most widely grown crop in the Caribbean. Its cultivation involved the large-scale clearing of woodland and depended on exploitation and slavery. The distance between the hanging sheets corresponds to the width of the rows in which sugarcane was and still is grown. Today, this paper — among other products — is made of sugarcane and merchandised as eco-friendly because it does not contain wood. Matières premières thus not only tells of the history of sugarcane cultivation and slavery, but also of new production methods employed in the post-colonial Caribbean. The steel forms providing a framework for the paper were forged from the machetes formerly used to harvest the crops. They make reference to the ambiguity of the machete, which not only serves as a tool but can also become a weapon. A raw material is only raw until it becomes something different, something new. Bearing the traces of production and exploitation, the white paper in Kiwanga’s work recounts the traumatic history of this process. (Text taken from the exhibition catalogue)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Kapwani Kiwanga on her Spring of 2020 edition twofold, currently on view at our gallery:
"Originating from research around colours used in institutions to control behaviour this is a studio trial that I photographed. This find of material notebook led to other three dimensional works including linear paintings and écorchés shown at my solo exhibition at the Esker Foundation in Canada.
I chose this body of work for the online program as it came out of an initial question I had as to how people's bodies and movement were disciplined and effected by architecture and spatial design. A lot of the research related to these works kept on bringing me back to hygiene discourse - particularly in response to Tuberculosis in Europe, and their larger long-lasting effects on societies. I often look backward to understand my present and imagine a future. In our current context I can reread this body of work not as a way of understanding our now but rather gaining perspective."
- Kapwani Kiwanga
BerlinViews 2020
Berlin galleries have joined forces to create BerlinViews, a website presenting over 25 galleries and gallery models.
Glaubt man den Machern der Berliner Initiative berlin__views – der Galeristin Tanja Wagner und den Office-Impart-Gründerinnen Anne Schwanz und Johanna Neuschäffer – liegt darin die Zukunft des Markts. „Die Auswirkungen des Digitalen auf die Kunst sind nicht neu”, sagt Neuschäffer, „wir beobachten die Effekte der Digitalisierung seit mehreren Jahren. Aber die Corona-Krise hatte einen Katalysator-Effekt, der jetzt eingefahrene Strukturen aufbricht.”
Das Anfang April gegründete Projekt will mehr Sichtbarkeit und Solidarität in die Kunstszene Berlins bringen. Derzeit sind 35 Galerien involviert, darunter auch etablierte Namen wie Eigen+Art oder Kornfeld. Auf der Webseite wird jede Galerie einzeln vorgestellt, dazu ein Werk der jeweiligen Künstler und, im Sinne größtmöglicher Transparenz, der Preis.
Eine Berliner Initiative antwortet auf die neuen Herausforderungen des Kunstmarkts und nutzt den Katalysator-Effekt der Corona-Krise.
OPEN NOW: SPRING OF 2020 with editions by Ulf Aminde, Annabel Daou, Sejla Kameric, Kapwani Kiwanga, Laurel Nakadate, Grit Richter, Lina Scheynius, Angelika J Trojnarski, Anna Witt.
On view at the gallery and available at tanjawagner-editions.com
The spring of 2020 is one we won‘t forget and the year continues to be a challenge.
To remember this time, our artists have created a special print edition.
On March 15 we decided to jump online and developed a 10 week program. Each week, co-curated by one artist, we experimented with different digital tools to create a dialogue and connect through art about the topics at hand: the work force and care work – Anna Witt. Happiness and what it means to us – Šejla Kamerić. Taking over our worries – Annabel Daou. Sending you flowers – Lina Scheynius. The effect of a new hygiene movement – Kapwani Kiwanga. Female identities – Nilbar Güreş. Parenting and relating during the pandemic – Grit Richter. Sharing grief and sorrow – Laurel Nakadate. Systemic racism in Germany and how we will treat our public spaces – Ulf Aminde. Raising sensibility for our nature – Angelika J. Trojnarski.
Each of the artists’ edition refers to content from the 10-week online program or originates from an image that evolved during the lockdown period.
Together with d'mage, a printing specialist in Berlin, we created these beautiful editions as a very special fine art archival pigment print on Hahnemühle paper. The editions have all the same size either 40 x 30 cm or 30 x 40 cm and are available as single prints or as a box set including all nine prints.
10% of the proceeds from Spring of 2020 will be donated to a women‘s shelter in Berlin, 10% of the proceeds from Spring of 2020 will be donated to a women‘s shelter in Berlin, an organization in high demand due to the rise of domestic abuse since the pandemic started.

Dear All,
The spring of 2020 is one we won‘t forget and the year continues to be a challenge.
To remember this time, our artists have created a special print edition that will be on view in the exhibition Spring of 2020 at the gallery and also available on our website from June 18 to August 1.
On March 15 we decided to jump online and developed a 10 week program. Each week, co-curated by one artist, we experimented with different digital tools to create a dialogue and connect through art about the topics at hand: the work force and care work – Anna Witt . Happiness and what it means to us – Sejla Kameric. Taking over our worries – Annabel Daou. Sending you flowers – Lina Scheynius. The effect of a new hygiene movement – Kapwani Kiwanga. Female identities – Nilbar Güreş. Parenting and relating during the pandemic – Grit Richter. Sharing grief and sorrow – Laurel Nakadate. Systemic racism in Germany and how we will treat our public spaces – Ulf Aminde. Raising sensibility for our nature – Angelika J Trojnarski.
All the subjects the artists touched upon during the online program are more relevant than ever. Most of the works included were existing works focused on subjects that the artists have been thoroughly examining throughout their practice for many years and will continue to do so.
The online program is still available on our website alongside free access to the included full length video works until August 1.
Each of the artists’ edition refers to content from the 10-week online program or originates from an image that evolved during the lockdown period.
10% of the proceeds from Spring of 2020 will be donated to a women‘s shelter in Berlin, an organisation in high demand due to the rise of domestic abuse since the pandemic started.
For the past 10 years I have been passionately building visibility and value for art that draws awareness to topics relevant to society while working actively on an inclusive and gender-balanced art market. I enthusiastically support artists with global perspectives and diverse backgrounds who challenge dated narratives and structures and call in a new vision and sensibility.
However, this is a moment for us all to reflect, reassess, educate ourselves and look to our own personal responsibility to further the fight for change.
We stand with everyone who is speaking up and supporting a more just and equal world. We stand with those who are having hard and necessary conversations, those dealing with their own dark sides and shining light on what doesn’t work about themselves and the system, those who listen, learn and take action.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in the gallery or online.
We are open on Sunday June 21 from 11–17h.
Much love,
Tanja

Tribunal 'NSU-Komplex-auflösen'
Unter dem Motto "Erinnern und handeln gegen Rassismus - Yalla, Migrantifa" gedachten rund 600 Menschen am Dienstag in der Kölner Keupstraße den Opfern rassistischer Gewalt. Am Jahrestag des Anschlages des NSU auf die Keupstraße (09.06.2004), dem Jahrestag des NSU-Mordes an İsmail Yaşar (09.06.2005), dem Tag der Beerdigung von George Floyd (25.05.2020) und dem Geburtstag des in Hanau durch einen rassistischen Anschlag ermordeten Said Nesar Hashemi (19.02.2020) hatte die Initiative Herkesin Meydanı - Platz für Alle mit weiteren Gruppen zu einer Gedenkkundgebung eingeladen. Alle Beteiligten machten klar, dass ein Mahnmal zum Gedenken der Anschläge des NSU in der Probsteigasse sowie der Keupstraße umgehend und nur an den von vielen Betroffenen und Anwohner*innen gewünschten Standort an der Ecke Keupstraße/Schanzenstraße realisiert werden müsse. Die Redebeiträge von u.a. Migrantifa NRW, der DIDF-Jugend Köln, Meral Şahin (IG Keupstraße), Betroffenen des Anschlages auf der Keupstraße, Black Lives Matter, der Initiative 19. Februar aus Hanau, der Initiative "Gerechtigkeit für Krys" und dem Vater des in einer Klever Gefängniszelle verbrannten Amad Ahmad machten deutlich, dass es sich bei rassistischen Angriffen und Polizeigewalt in Deutschland nicht um Einzelfälle, sondern um einen strukturell eingelassenen Rassismus in diesem Land handelt.
Entnazifizierung jetzt!
Hanau war kein Einzelfall!
NSU-Komplex auflösen!
Für die Gesellschaft der Vielen - Yalla, yalla, Migrantifa!

I am very excited to be part of this great publication - I ❤️ Woman in the Art - and get to talk about one of my favorite art works Bosnian Girl by Šejla Kamerić.

The book is launched on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of admission of women to all German art academies this year. It will be out this month, you can preorder it already - thank you Janine Mckenroth and Bianca Kennedy for brining it to life.

Sneak peek of Anna Witt's new video installation Unboxing the future - opening this Friday! . The dialogue in the Video revolves around personal experiences, philosophical concerns and hopes for the future, and probes at the real-life social structures and working systems and models that will be brought into question. The discussions are inter- cut with the group’s assembly-line workers smoothly miming the movements they perform at work and footage of symbiotic robotic arms at work on cars .

Currently on view at the gallery: Nilbar Güreş |ELSEWHERE'S for our group exhibition Rust & Bones until August 2! . "A seemingly absurd scene: two women, one wearing a headscarf, the other not, blue cloth tying them to one another. We see sand, the sea and artificial palm trees, the USA's understanding of the “exotic“ Middle East. Construction work on the world trade center is visible in the background. ELSEWHERE'S PALM TREES reflects on immigration, the USA's interest and political power plays in the Middle East. During my scholarship in New York, I recorded this video on an island which is a former, though still partly active, Navy Base. The message: women are affected by war first. And what are they doing here? Exactly what the East and the West are doing with each other." - Nilbar Güreş .

We are looking forward to Anna Witt‘s performance BEAT HOUSE on May 11 at 4pm at Alfred-Klinkan-Hof, Vienna for Wiener Festwochen! Please join! ❤️ Kagran and Kaisermühlen are areas in Vienna’s 22nd district that concentrate a piece of the city’s history. Formerly a working-class neighbourhood and stronghold of council housing, it was one of the last bastions of the Socialist Party in its fight against Austrofascism. What interests Anna Witt most about this history is the vibrant utopia, the belief in the collective and in solidarity. The work of the visual artist, who was awarded the Otto Mauer Prize in 2018, is performative and participatory – this allows her to delve into questions that are important to her: How much community still exists in our society? In what way are the residents of a “Gemeindebau” connected nowadays? For Beat House Donaustadt Witt uses an ultrasound scanner to record their heartbeats. At the start of the Wiener Festwochen, the residents open their windows, letting their individual rhythms drift out and join to form a collective sound. The sound of the city. #beathouse Donaustadt @wienerfestwochen #alfredklinkanhof #heatbeat #trailer #annawitt
Kapwani Kiwanga at Whitechapel Gallery on view until May 12! Step inside the Sankofa Pavilion. Designed by Sir David Adjaye and artist Kapwani Kiwanga, the pavilion is a space for intimate conversations - a place to debate futures or to debate pasts. Constructed from dichroic glass, the reflective properties of the star-shaped structure create an interplay of colours and allow for both a degree of privacy and openness. #IsThisTomorrow David Adjaye Kapwani Kiwanga Sankofa Pavilion 2019 Courtesy Whitechapel Gallery #kapwanikiwanga #whitechapelgallery #sankofa #pavilion
OPENING TOMORROW!! Ulf Aminde GLOBAL NATIONAL - Kunst zum Rechtspopulismus Group exhibition curated by Raimar Stange Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin March 21 - May 26, 2019 Opening: March 20, 7pm "Absolute premiere and very excited that it will finally come true: In the exhibition GLOBAL NATIONAL at Haus am Lützowplatz for the first time there will be the possibility to see a preview version in scale 1:10 of the memorial at the Keupstraße, Cologne, to remember that racist terrorist attack. It will then be possible to create virtual walls with the help of an App and Augmented Reality technology, on which films can be shown, pictures can be seen and texts can be read. The real App later will be much more complex, the memorial will later be 26 m long, but it already gives a good impression how it is meant. Background: The city of Cologne is failing to realise the memorial at Keupstraße (to remember the racis terrorist attack in Cologne, Probsteigasse in 2001 and Keupstraße in 2004) and is not standing up against the investment group that owns the site where the memorial will be built. The participation in the exhibition is the prelude to a tour throughout Germany to draw attention to the project." - Ulf Aminde Texts, pictures, films and realization: Meral Sahin, Mitat Özdemir, Svenja Leiber, Timo Glatz, Gesine Schütt, Massimo Perinelli, Daniel Poštrak, Kutlu Yurtseven, Jasper Kettner, Sebastian Weise, Ulf Aminde, Tribunal 'NSU-Komplex-auflösen', Initiative Herkesin Meydanı - Platz für Alle, Buntspecht Film und Digitales GmbH.

Annabel Daou's audio guide and video Chou Hayda? currently on view at Beirut Museum of Art - Bema - and soon at Galerie Tanja Wagner for Annabel's upcoming solo exhibition this November!! In November of 2017, people from across Beirut came to the National Museum and gave their voices to a number of objects in the collection. The people spoke to and for and about these objects from the past, and, in doing so, they revealed fragments of the present. They did not attempt to disclose a particular historical narrative. Nor did they attempt to create a fiction. They did not lie and they did not try to tell the truth. On view at The Beirut Museum of Art until December 30, 2018! Commissioned by BEWA, in collaboration with TEMPORARY . ART . PLATFORM, with the partnership of the MINISTRY OF CULTURE / DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF ANTIQUITIES and the NATIONAL MUSEUM OF BEIRUT.
The Radical Empathiarchy by Anna Witt - opening on Friday.
Opening this Friday! Anna Witt - Das Radikale Empathiachat Anna Witt is following a group of young people in Leipzig while developing a manifest for a potential youth movement. The young adults spent several months realizing the project in close cooperation with the artist. During their conversations, they are discussing their personal ideas of social utopias and are expressing their own feelings within the prevailing systems. By questioning and deconstructing consisting norms and values of our society, they are following their ideas of these concepts and their meanings to articulate the youth movement’s inherent purpose. According to their own imagination and sensations, they translated their manifest into physical forms of expression and performative interventions in the public space.
Nilbar Güreş's video TORN is part of her solo exhibition at the LENTOS Kunstmuseum Linz and a newly commissioned work. It refers to her queer friend, Didem Görkem Geçit, who left Izmir for the Gezi Parki protests in 2013 and moved to Istanbul. He tried to work in several companies but experienced ongoing sexual harassment. After starting to work as a sex worker, one day she got kidnapped from the street by three men, they robbed her and cut her throat. She survived by pure luck. This violence doesn't have to do with her being a sex worker. It is about trans people, LGBTQAI people who are the victims of criminal cases. These crimes are hate crimes. Overhead - on view until 10 September! Nilbar Güreş TORN 2018 HD video, colour, sound 6:00 min.
Kapwani Kiwanga's video A Primer will be shown at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. The exhibition Walls Turned Sideways addresses the criminal justice system, mass incarceration, and the prison-industrial complex. Opening on August 25! Kapwani Kiwanga A Primer 2017 HD video, colour, silent 07:43 min. A Primer, a silent video co-produced by the Logan Center and The Power Plant, is projected onto a constructed wall and shows a series of vignettes of architectural assemblages and objects in space. The camera movement animates three structures, all of which are painted in reference to different environments and times: the white Ripolin of Le Corbusier and the international movement in architecture as well as the widespread use of green in hospital and therapeutic settings to invoke nature’s healing powers as well as the so- called Baker-Miller pink which was believed to calm agressive inmates in prisons in the late 1970s..

The Motovun Film Festival in Croatia started yesterday, where the group exhibition Walls and Bridges at the Five Tower Gallery shows Sejla Kameric' work Glück. Motovun Film Festival, Croatia July 24 - August 25, 2018 Showing the pursuit of happiness as a way of survival, this film is a potential remembrance in which boundaries between the past, present and the future tend to be erased. Berlin plays a significant role in the film, epitomizing a place in which suffering is part of the past, but is also a potential future. The film is inspired by the quotes from the book Nebeski Zarucnici (The Fiancés of Heaven) by Mirko Kovač.
