Katarina Janeckova Walshe "Dishwashing in Texas"
Secrets of a Happy Household
Opening today online! A show we have been eager to see for quite some time now!!!

Janeckova Walshe (born '88 lives in Texas) documents her life in various portraits and depictions of human and animal figures cast in mundane yet provocative scenarios, with titles that are as fittingly descriptive as they are fraught such as Dishwashing In Texas III, Marriage Is a Choice, and What Did You Do All Day Baby?. Expressive compositions of cowboys and bears or domestic interiors and scenes from intimate relationships are paired with self-portraits navigating open or obstacle-filled Texan landscapes, altogether conveying a blend of unvarnished truth and psychological fantasy.

on view until 27 Feb 2021

CHIHARU SHIOTA "I HOPE..." - the galleries have to remain closed until Jan 31st but let's enjoy some installation pics around Berlin
Shiota’s red fibers – reminiscent of blood vessels and the circulatory system – reveal the hidden inner worlds of humans. But here they also serve to interconnect the letters from almost every corner of the Earth, which came in response to her invitation to people to write down their hopes. Remember hope?

Because at this point. Why not.
Guided Group Masturbation: Immersive Sound Sculpture is a meditation: binaural beats and cat purrs invite the audience to an immersive excursion through the narratives of the body.

2020 C U Next Tuesday

As this year, the year that will from now on be referred to as THAT year comes to an end, I couldn't help but wonder… what does it all mean. Do global pandemics need to happen for a reason? No. But happened it did, and I am curious if we, we the Royal We of the Art world, have become better or worse for it?

LEVEL 3 MANAF HALBOUNI /// Ultur (2020) is the sly title of a wall sculpture, a signal-red neon sign, by Manaf Halbouni. The artist has replaced the first letter with the Arabic letter ‘K’: كULTUR, in doing so addressing the commonalities of different language regions and traditions while at the same time being deliberately provocative. The artist may have been inspired by the xenophobic demand “Go back to your country” (ارجعوا الى وطنكم), which can be read in his work Go Home (2019). The statement was initially sprayed , using a template near a refugee camp in Dresden, and Syrian refugees later turned into “Don’t go back to your country" (لا ارجعوا الى وطنكم) by adding a handwritten “no" (لا).

On view this week! Transitory Bonds, immersive Public-art installation by Paula Valenzuela at Berlin Kindl Brewery area- presented by @somos.berlin

While cultural institutions have been ordered to close in Germany during November 2020, Chilean artist, Paula Valenzuela Antúnez can still share her art with the public. She presents her immersive painting installation in an outdoor space, as the Vollgut Information Center has kindly given her the opportunity to exhibit her installation on their premises. The Chilean artist has been in Berlin for two months, working as a SomoS Artist-in-Residence, preparing a public art project in which she aims to initiate a discussion about migration and removing boundaries. With permeable, half-transparent walls that allow people to pass through effortlessly, her installation symbolizes this political goal perfectly.

Program:
The installation is accessible from November 15th to 20th 2020, uninterrupted. The artist will be present daily from 1- 4 pm. Entry is free. The project is realized with the kind support of Vollgut and the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage of Chile.

About Paula Valenzuela Antúnez: Paula Valenzuela Antúnez (b. May 2nd, 1988) is an abstract painter from Santiago de Chile. After spending three years in Buenos Aires, she currently lives and works in Viña del Mar (Valparaíso region), Chile. She is interested in how painting can be used as a way to depict and interact with the landscape.

Due to the current circumstances in connection with the COVID-19 virus (Coronavirus) and its consequences for all of us, no events can take place in the G.A.S-station in the month of November and the G.A.S-station goes online with its presentation of the scientific focus into the digital world and is additionally present in the Schaufenster of G.A.S-station. The analog events will be postponed until fall 2021. We would also like to thank all participants and contributors who have made this possible through their flexibility.

During the 11 years of the exhibition, a number of scientific contributions on various topics were shown. We are proud to have inspired renowned scientists for the projects. They enriched the exhibitions with lectures, book contributions, professional articles, posters, videos and selected texts, which were also interesting for a professional audience.

The videos will be on view on the gallery's youtube channel from Nov 5th!

Show exnteded until Decmember 23rd! Sascha Weidner (1974 – 2015) is regarded as one of the most important german photographers of his generation. His works follow the paths of Wolfgang Tillmans and Nan Goldin. The exhibition Aurora contains vintage and posthumous prints from the various creative phases of Sascha Weidner’s lifework. An orange tent stretches over the heads of visitors to the Dorothée Nilsson Gallery. In a photograph the tent stands illuminated between the trees of a forest and sticksout from among its dark surroundings. Refuge II, the title of the picture, leaves open the question of whether this is the sanctuary of a tired traveler, or whether a refuge of conscious rejection of society. Sascha Weidner’s photographs always search for light, and with it all the unknown and neglected scenes and sites upon which it falls. The artist spoke of himself as a romantically moved traveler. His work deals with the creation of a radical subjective pictorial world, permeated by poetic dream images and moments of longing as well as signs of the unknown and melancholy. Weidner himself spoke of the act of photographing as a “refuge where utopia stages reality and reality stages utopia.” Weidner captures moments of a hunger for life and a thirst for freedom. Idiosyncratic II, a picture in the exhibition (se “Current”), shows two people who frolic on an invisible foundation as if flying.
With Aurora, the Dorothée Nilsson Gallery is showing a compilation of the works of Sascha Weidner, which has never before been exhibited in this form in Berlin.
