Amalia Valdés at Galerie Seippel
Cologne, 2nd September until 7th October
“Mientras Dormían” is the third solo exhibition of Chilean artist Amalia Valdés at Galerie Seippel. In it, the works presented are made with different materials and techniques, in which pure forms are intertwined with sacred symbols, revealing the artist’s attachment to objects or symbols that have different spiritual aspects: “I am attracted by the behavior of materials and how, through them, I can explore my interest in rites and myths of different cultures and geographies.
The exhibition is a milestone in a period of research that started three years ago, which includes works on cork, metal, and clay, as well as drawing and painting. “Mientras Dormían” is a tribute to the creative diversity of human beings, it is also a tribute to infinity and the constellations, to the earth and its material property, to the original Latin American peoples, and to time, that scarce and often unmanageable resource. “Time allows us to understand, value, and appreciate. During the pandemic it became palpable, then I became a mother, and I was able to recognize its scarcity, its duration, its waiting. With this work I pay special homage to creative mothers and to my daughters Nina and Anni, thanking them for that precious time, While They Were Sleeping”, concludes the artist. galerie-seippel.de
LE RÉSEREVOIR – 13th September, Sète
Marion Sagon
For the exhibition Color Block and after more than 3 months of residency, Le Réservoir is showcasing the latest series of paintings and limited editions as well as a mural specially conceived for the gallery space attributed to the artist.
Marion Sagon’s practice consists in the production of digital drawings whose source is our real world. Far from being pure artistic inventions, her work is composed of architecture she photographs and images of existing landscapes collected on the Internet. She thus creates new worlds, oscillating between utopian and dystopian vision and in which nature and human constructions are intertwined in a perfect balance. Once finalized, the result of her research is pictorialised with the purpose of reproducing in the most similar manner the act of the machine…info
Künstlerhaus Bethanien
Yana Bachynska 11.08. – 03.09.2023
The Pantheon of Fleeing Spirits is a narrative conveyed through sculpture and text, aiming to foster mutual understanding and interconnectedness by exploring the immigrant and refugee experience. Rooted in the journey of displacement, it delves into the significance of clothing as the last vestige of protection amidst the loss of home. The walls of an apartment, a city, a country fade into the background, leaving only one’s clothing as a protective shell. Within the fabric, personal histories endure, undergoing transformation through acts of cutting, resewing, mixing, and enriching with commentary. The fenceful nature is lost, textile leftovers are mixed with words, and they become an icon. Yana Bachynska speaks about himself but through him, the voices of others who have experienced something similar resonate. bethanien.de

Marie Angeletti ram spin cram 1.4.–2.7.2023, Hahnenstrasse 6, 50667 Cologne
For her first institutional show in Germany, ram spin cram, Marie Angeletti (*1984) is presenting newly commissioned works across the entire building of the Kölnischer Kunstverein. Decisively articulated, each element — sculpture, photography, and video — receives equal attention. ram spin cram does not begin in the main gallery nor ends in the last room upstairs, it is all there at once. Each room can be read as a series of actions accumulated over time. The main gallery shows work made within the last two months. In the cinema, in the upstairs and basement gallery spaces, Angeletti has rearranged works from an unspecified period of time. Text & Info: koelnischerkunstverein.de

RELIEF with Amalia Valdés
Exhibition February 25 – March 25, 2023 B-Part Am Gleisdreieck
Relief can be located between sculpture and painting. Created from a surface or a body, it stands out plastically from the background, figurative or abstract-ornamental. The group exhibition RELIEF at “B-Part Exhibition” shows various current groups of works with reliefs, which show references to architecture, to the urban, to spatial concepts, but which also refer to each other through the material and form used. The play of light and shadow as well as apparent movements in the works, generated by their own change of position in the exhibition space, allow the relief to emerge as a contemporary form of artistic expression. Through the serial presentation, through the interplay of the works, RELIEF explores new definitions of the genre, distinguishing itself from sculpture or expanding it…info: loop-raum.de/

IF YESTERDAY WAS TOMORROW WHAT IS TODAY, 26 NOVEMBER 2020 – 23 JANUARY 2021
In times of lockdowns where institutions and museums stay closed, but galleries remain open, galleries take on the responsibility of keeping the discussion and dialogue open in order to remain a place of culture. If Yesterday Was tomorrow What Is Today presents positions with notes on contemplation in Minimalism, Neo Expressionism, Drawing and figurative Painting. (…) If Yesterday Was tomorrow What Is Today presents a generation of artists (Paula Baader) who grew up with the internet, in a constant state of ecological crisis and debate about immigration. The themes are centered on the scenarios of solitude, phobia, of desire and radical doubt in the artist’s studio. On historical acts of displacement and trauma, opposed with the potency of isolation and of inherent instability in interconnected worlds, we see the need for new ways to construct visual archives and emphasize the contemporary production and documentation of today.

Bees by Julia Kaiser
„I’m excited to update you on my new project in progress: Bees. Not only they are extremely beautiful, fuzzy animals with amazing stripes, but also they are super crucial for our food supply and sadly enough threatened to disappear soon if we don’t make an effort to improve their habitat. That is why I got so fascinated with these hairy creatures. As a painter but also as a human beeing. I want to show their beauty and stress out their vulnerability.“ Interview with Julia Kaiser & more Infos

‘Loops and Echoes’ 09.10. – 25.10.2020
An echo is the reflection of a sound wave and is perceptible as a discrete phenomenon independent of the original. As with any copy, the content repeats, changes, and is lost. Due to aberrations that only seem like mistakes, the replica becomes a new original, over and over again. ‘Loops and Echoes’ combines the work of eight art photographers who explore the subject of repetition in abstract, concrete, poetic, and humorous ways. Eva Dittrich, Vanessa Enriquez, Saskia Groneberg, Mika Schwarz, Claus Georg Stabe, Lisa Tiemann, Hayahisa Tomiyasu and Dorothee Waldenmaier all take an inquisitive look at the world. They archive, select, fragment, and manipulate their material in a quest to discover new parallels – between microcosm and macrocosm, ephemeral and the infinite, error and system. Text & more Info

PARALLEL VIENNA presents young and emerging as well as established artistic practices and brings together art initiatives of every kind – art associations, galleries, project spaces, off spaces and artist spaces – , both Austrian and international, all under one roof.

INVITATION TO LOVE
Kunsthalle Bremerhaven, 19.09. – 01.11. 2020, A GROUPSHOW CURATED BY FORT. So manche künstlerische Fragestellung, Motive und Aspekte tauchen in der Kunst wie bei einzelnen Künstler*innen immer wieder auf. Manchmal ist das gewollt, ja direkt angestrebt, manchmal vielleicht auch ungewollt, unterschwellig, wie ein Muster oder eine Handschrift. Zu den Kennzeichen in den Werken, Aktionen und Ausstellungen des Künstlerinnenduos FORT gehören Aspekte wie Zwillingsmotive oder Zwischenräume, unscharfe Übergangssituationen oder schwebende Gleichwertigkeiten. Invitation to Love ist das erste Ausstellungprojekt, bei dem FORT als Kuratorinnenteam fungiert und von befreundeten und bekannten Künstler*innen eine subjektive Auswahl von Werken zusammenführt. Der Ausstellungstitel spielt auf eine Fernsehserie gleichen Namens an. Eine Seifenoper, die ihrerseits innerhalb der US-amerikanischen Fernsehserie Twin Peaks von David Lynch lief, die zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre Kultstatus erlangte. A show within a show, in der, ganz nach Vorliebe der Künstlerinnen, Zwillinge eine Hauptrolle spielen (…)Text & Info Die beteiligten KünstlerInnen sind Emma Adler, Yesim Akdeniz, Katja Aufleger, Jennifer Bennett, Christoph Blawert, FORT, Max Frisinger, Anna Grath, Christian Haake, Anna Jandt, Sebastian Jefford, Horst Müller, Niclas Riepshoff, Max Schaffer, Norbert Schwontkowski, I-Chieh Tsai und Markus Zimmermann.

LES FLEURS DE L’ÉTÉ SONT LES RÊVES DE L’HIVER RACONTÉS LE MATIN À LA TABLE DES ANGES #OPUS 2 // GROUP EXHIBITION, Paris, 5 – 26 September, 2020
This September, Praz-Delavallade is inviting eight artists (Mireille Blanc & Maude Maris) to take over the walls of the gallery, eight figures who generously treat us to their new offerings. Nothing in particular connects them, except perhaps a common need to remind us of the sense of urgency that underlies their inspirations, the vibrant call of a deep, interiorised need that gives pride of place to the power of the imagination. Together they question the very meaning of visible phenomena and the way we apprehend the world. Their art is the echo of this, filtered through the prism of the political, scientific, cultural and ethical values that they defend, as they thumb their noses at the traditional rules of pictorial representation. Above and beyond the aesthetic diversity on display in this exhibition, the dominant value for each of these artists is definitively to be found in their ability to assert their choices. “The object is not to paint life, but to make painting come alive.” (Pierre Bonnard).
DC Open 4 – 6 September 2020

The word and the letter are also used for their graphic aspects and their aesthetic values.

Das Jahr 2020 ist von Unsicherheit und einer globalen Krise gekennzeichnet. Welche Rolle Kunst in Zeiten der Unsicherheit und Krise spielt, kann rückblickend besser beurteilt werden. Gerade zeitgenössische Kunst ist in schwierigen Zeiten relevant. Ausstellungen und Arbeiten aus Krisenzeiten können das Gefühl der Zusammengehörigkeit vermitteln, ein Gefühl, das uns in jüngerer Zeit vielleicht abhandengekommen ist. Das Thema der diesjährigen Jahresausstellung „Common Ground“ behandelt Fragen der Demokratie, Offenheit, Zusammengehörigkeit, des Zusammenlebens und wie wir Nähe zum anderen wiederherstellen können. Die Ausstellung wird im Großen Saal, im Kabinett und in Kooperation im Museumpavillon der Stadt Salzburg gezeigt. Alle Arbeiten stehen zum Verkauf. Die Erlöse gehen zu 100 % an die Künstler_innen: Künstler_innen im Salzburger Kunstverein & Künstler_innen im Museumspavillon
‚Shelters‘ by Emma Llorente Palacio June 25th – September 10th, 2020
In this exhibition, the artist Emma Llorente Palacio shows us the latent power of the perceptive phenomena through her intimate dialogue with the clay. Her work is defined by a deep understanding of life cycles and proposes new ways of recovering the connection with our body in a world that constantly separates us from its rhythms and latencies. This work, exhibited for the first time in Galeria H2O, is based on three series that symbolize how menstruation, pregnancy and the functioning of ovarian reserves operate through the body. The first proposal, “matrioshkas”, works around the pre-menstrual, menstrual and menopausal periods through a set of ceramic vessels. The second proposal, “sonajeros”, is a claim to the course of time through the ritual of menstrual detachment. Here, thirty-two delicate clay eggs shelter more than four hundred clay eggs with which, moon after moon, life is generated or detached. The last of the series, “matrices”, focuses on the increase of the size of a uterus in nine pauses, from conception to childbirth. The whole exhibition is channelled through sketches, diagrams and reflections to become a journey through the body, the surrender, the detachment, and the flow of life. It is an intuitive and honest dialogue. Text: Marta Camps Banqué
Solo Exhibition, „Sacred Echoes“ at Abigail Ogilvy Gallery June 8th – July 19th, 2020
„Abigail Ogilvy Gallery is proud to present Sacred Echoes, a solo exhibition of paintings by Natalia Wróbel. This exhibition draws from a range of series created by Wróbel since 2017, allowing for a more holistic look into the artist’s practice, which incorporates mindfulness practices of deep listening and moving meditation that translate visually into her paintings. Much like the way we absorb the compositional elements of music, Wróbel’s paintings offer a synergistic melody when the details come together as a whole. Colors melt seamlessly to harmonize on the canvas, as brushstrokes crescendo across her compositions. Wrobel’s studio research also revolves around a fascination with our sub-molecular reality. She creates paintings that seem to be coming together and breaking apart all at once, mirroring the continual hum of atoms at a sub-molecular level. Her paintings “tap into the foundational rhythm making up our physical reality.” This collection of works, Wróbel describes, “are largely inspired by the connection between sound and sight. Many pieces were painted by transmuting the sensations and interpretations of certain compositions into the visual field of a painted image. In this way, the paintings offer a visual translation of the immaterial realm of sound and what exists beyond our physical reality.“ The paintings reference many contemporary composers including Arvo Pärt, Phillip Glass, and Hania Rani among others, as well as the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, a longtime favorite of the artist.“ view exhibition online exclusive
