// ULRIKE THEUSNER

We are very delighted to be back with an exhibition from today on: We are opening the first solo show by Ulrike Theusner "All there is" this evening in our rooms in Berlin. The exhibition subsumes about four dozen monotypes and pastel drawings which are pictures of Theusners generation, her surroundings, a „realization of the current ‘now’ situation, nothing is shifted to the future, everything that there is happens at this moment“, as the artist defines it.

Please note that we are inviting all of you to book a special time slot by appointment in the course of the opening weekend, May 28 - May 30. From next week on, we will be open Tuesday to Friday, 11am - 2pm, and Saturdays from 11am - 6pm in the evening.
Although there need to be still some restrictions, we are glad to be back for you and looking forward to your visit!

Olaf Nicolai, Museum as Bureau of Communication | MACRO Museum

// SEND A POSTCARD WITH OLAF NICOLAI

The artist Olaf Nicolai created a project called "The Museum as Bureau of Communication" in cooperation with MACRO - Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Roma. It offers you the chance to send a brief message in the form of a postcard to whoever you want. Each postcard will be illustrated with a different artwork selected by the museum. In the times of social distancing, this creates a thread between the sender, the museum and the addressee.

This project is realized within the new website of MACRO, which features a "Museum for Preventive Imagination", the title of a three-year program that will evolve organically until the end of 2022. Due to the current crisis, this is an experiment to reach out to alternativ models compared to the concept of a museum.

Head over to the website of MACRO to get further information!

Thank you MONOPOL - Magazin für Kunst und Leben for sharing

"Hundred Seconds to Midnight" (2020). Trailer des unveröffentlichten Films von Birgit Brenner, momentan Rompreisträgerin der Villa Massimo.

Es sind gerade noch eine Minute und 40 Sekunden bis Mitternacht. Zumindest zeigt die Weltuntergangsuhr dies metaphorisch seit Januar 2020 an. Diese symbolisiert, wie nahe die Menschheit vor der Apokalypse steht. Aus diesem Anlass befasst sich die Künstlerin mit Gefahren der Zerstörung im Allgemeinen und deren Auswirkungen auf den Einzelnen.

// Galerie EIGEN + ART Leipzig

Behind our closed doors at Galerie EIGEN + ART in Leipzig, we’ve opened the group exhibition "J’aime, je n’aime pas" with the artists César Bardoux, Jean Claracq, Miryam Haddad, Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Madeleine Roger Lacan and Elene Shatberashvili. They are all students in the class of Tim Eitel at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. As the title already implies, the works of all of them are a search for identity in an insecure world and it also ties in with Roland Barthes assumption, that what we love or don’t love is what defines our identity, explained to us in the distinction from the other.
Here are some insights for you. We hope we can invite you soon in our rooms again!

// LADA NAKONECHNA

Remember the last exhibition we had in our gallery in Berlin in the first two months this year? It was a show by the Ukranian artist Lada Nakonechna, discussing - under the title "Images from abroad" - our relative distance from pictures from unknown contexts. In the current situation, as we all need to stay home, we are even more reliant on "images from abroad" and so the question, how we could categorize them, is even more relevant.
Within this context, we are very happy to announce that Lada Nakonechna was honoured with the prize "Women in Arts 2020" from HeForShe Ukraine, which is part of the International UN Women Solidarity Movement for Gender Equality. We cordially congratulate her!
