Hajnal Nemeth_2

In her artistic practice Hajnal Németh creates musicals, operas, performances, films and photographs. Through slight modifications of poems, songs and texts she encourages political statements. Her artistic activity is based on performative works. These are mainly musical interpretations of written texts drawing on the broad spectrum of musical tendencies and the tools and devices of other performative fields, sometimes placed in an environment of light- and spatial installation.

Hajnal Németh was born in Szőny, Hungary in 1972. She has lived and worked in Berlin since 2002. She participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions at prestigious art institutions in Europe, America and Asia, including MUMOK, Vienna; Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin; Tate Modern, London and many more. For her artistic work, the artist received many awards.
In 2011 she represented Hungary at the Venice Biennale.

February 12, 2019 In News No Comment

Exhibition: 08.02.2019 – 19.05.2019

Group Exhibition: “Stadsbeelden” – “City Images”

LOCATION: Museum Flehite, Westsingel 50, 3811 BC Amsterfoort/NL

Website

With the exhibition ‘City Images’, Museum Flehite introduces us to the work of eight contemporary artists who research and document the theme ‘city’. 

The exhibition shows works by Iwan Baan, Stefan Bleekrode, Frank Halmans, Carlijn Kingma, Uwe Poth, Frank van der Salm, Rob Voerman and Hans Wilschut.

That the city in all its facets is still an interesting and popular theme for many artists today, shows the Stadsbeelden exhibition. Parallel to Maestro Van Wittel at Kunsthal KAdE, Museum Flehite organizes this exhibition on contemporary urban art. It is the first exhibition of the museum after a thorough renovation.

In collaboration with Kunsthal KAdE, Museum Flehite selected eight contemporary artists from the Netherlands, who each in their own way researched the theme of ‘city’ and recorded it in drawings, paintings, photographs and 3D objects.

About the artist Uwe Poth:

Traveling is an important theme in the work of Uwe Poth (Kiel, 1946). Traveling to other countries and cultures, but also traveling in time, which makes things fade; evaporate. In his paintings and drawings you meet elements from then and now and there is cultural layering. Poth mostly works with oil on large canvases, but uses different materials as a means of expression, such as chalk, watercolor, photo and collage.

February 1, 2019 In News No Comment

Exhibition: 01.02.2019 – 02.06.2019

LOCATION: Teylers Museum, Spaarne 16, 2011 CH Haarlem/NL

Website

Teylers Museum has been supporting ‘living art’ since the end of the eighteenth century by collecting and presenting contemporary works of art. With this in mind, from 1 February to 2 June in the Tuinzaal, the photo “Back Stages, Teylers Museum” of artists Katrin Korfmann (1971) and Jens Pfeifer (1963) can be seen.

The huge picture of more than three by four meters shows an imaginary moment from above in Teylers Museum. Korfmann and Pfeifer made the work as part of the Back Stages series, in which they map all aspects of making and showing art and culture worldwide. From more than five hundred individual photographs of the museum, the artists put together a new solidified reality. Regular visitors to the museum will recognize pieces of Fossil Hall mixed with the Oval Room.

As in a huge tetris game, the artists built from these separate elements a new pattern that symbolizes the social patterns and connections that are necessary to produce art. This never happens in full romantic isolation, but continuously in contacts between artists, collectors, traders, exhibition makers and the public.

Group Show: 07.02.2019 – 25.02.2019

LOCATION: WHITECONCEPTS Gallery, Auguststrasse 35, 10119 Berlin

WHITECONCEPTS Gallery is delighted to present “The X (Anniversary)”. With this group show, the Berlin-based gallery celebrates its 10th anniversary.

“The X (Anniversary) Part I” starts from February 7 – 25, Part II will be held from April 4 – 28. The two exhibitions will present a fine selection of works by 25 artists with whom the gallery has worked throughout this intensive decade. 10 years represent the passage of time, but also the imprint of a place within this time.

WHITECONCEPTS gives priority to issues concerning perceptions of space and regards this notion as a unifying principle of artistic positions. In close cooperation with artists, primarily socially critical projects are presented, which show diverse and forward-looking perspectives. Building on the avant-garde power of art, the gallery has built an international network. WHITECONCEPTS is also a regular publisher of artist catalogs and monographs.

WHITECONCEPTS was founded in 2009 by the curator and art manager Nicole Loeser. The curatorial commitment has always been to explore artistic methods, to stimulate debates about current artistic practices, discourses and theories. The gallery focuses primarily on conceptual art and an interdisciplinary engagement with various media, including visual and sculptural works, installations, performances and public interventions.

So far, Nicole Loeser and her team have curated more than 80 exhibitions and numerous art projects and participated in 30 international art fairs.

Exhibition: 18.01.2019 – 02.03.2019

Solo Exhibition: “Zeitspuren”

LOCATION: Bruggerstrasse 37, Merker-Areal CH-5400 Baden/CH

Website

Characteristic of André Wagner’s photographs is his intensive examination of the content and motifs of his images. Time and metaphysics play a special role. He breaks with the conventions of seeing and mental, often hasty classification.

His starting point is not the re-enchantment of the world, but the rediscovery of the still existing magical moments that are unlearned in today’s streamlined world. For him, these moments, which incidentally can last for hours, are particularly evident in India. Therefore, since 2004 he returns to the Indian subcontinent again and again and sets out to search for the essence of this culture and its foundations.

A bridge is to beat its art, which makes it possible to visualize abstracts such as spirituality or grandeur in the figurative. However, the imagery of the artist does not want to preach or proselytize, but to connect the material with the transcendental on a rather empathic level and to communicate the unspeakable in human existence.

Thorsten Goldberg’s public art project 24 kt for primary school in Berlin

Inauguration: 16 November 2018, 13:00

Thorsten Goldberg – Solo public art project

LOCATION:

Fuchsberg Elementary School, Apfelwicklerstraße 4-6, 12683 Berlin

 

First presentation of the golden nest “24 kt” – Art in Public Space – Fuchsberg Elementary School with Juliane Witt, District Councilor for further education, culture, social affairs and facility management / Birgit Feig, Head of the Fuchsberg Elementary School / Thorsten Goldberg, visual artist

Thorsten Goldberg’s new work “24 kt”, completed in autumn 2018, is a bird’s nest, cast of solid fine-gold twigs, that serves as a conceptual foundation for the new Fuchsberg primary school in the district of Berlin Marzahn-Hellersdorf. The golden nest is kept in a bullet proof glass safe in the school building visible for the children. A contractual agreement specifies the terms and conditions under which the school may open the glass-safe and destroy the nest after a minimum of 14 years to convert the proceeds into something that a community of students, teachers and parents commonly agreed upon. As such and due to its economic value the golden nest also serves as an investment for future needs of the school.

Thorsten Goldberg won the competition in 2014 organized by the district office Berlin Marzahn-Hellersdorf, education, culture, social and facility management for the Land of Berlin, Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing, Dept. V. The execution was realized by Department of Culture, Gallery M. The new school was built by HerbstKunkler.Architekten

Already four years ago, in October 2014 the jury decided to implement the work “24 kt” of Thorsten Goldberg for the new Fuchsberg elementary school. For a fixed amount of the competition budget Thorsten Goldberg bought fine gold. From this he cast solid small branches and twigs and  built a bird’s nest, like those birds of prey or crows build it. With the opening of the new elementary school, the golden nest is now permanently presented in a glass showcase inside the school building. The showcase is a wall built-in highly secured glass safe that can be viewed from inside and outside.

Thorsten Goldberg realized numerous projects in public space throughout Germany and other countries. He taught at various art academies such as the Art Academy Münster, AdBK Munich, UfG Linz/AT and last as professor of media arts at the Muthesius Art Academy in Kiel.

EXHIBITION: 10.11.2018 – 22.12.2018

 Solo exhibition of Katrin Korfmann

LOCATION: 2766 S. La Cienega Blvd. CA 90034 Los Angeles/USA

An alternative way to capture such a wide array of activities in a single shot would have been to use a fish-eye lens, Korfmann says, but that would have distorted the edges of the image. Only by painstakingly assembling dozens of discrete high-resolution images could she create a final image with such remarkable clarity. Many of the photographs show dozens of people, each of whom Korfmann shot individually and then combined into a single master shot. But Korfmann rejects the idea that using such digital legerdemain is somehow “cheating.”
