Featured Events in Germany in July 2024 (August Updated)

The show, curated by Christine Nippe, features landscapes punctuated by abstract elements, which are often overshadowed by an expressive sky with fragments of clouds. The majority of the natural representations, which are provided with a special color, are interspersed with geometric shapes that create dynamics, depth and rhythm. These elements create a simultaneous space. A central component of Jezierski's paintings is light: muted and bright colors as well as light and dark contrasts meet atmospherically and form their very own shimmering aura. At the same time, Jezierski goes back to the actual question of abstraction. She is more concerned with showing the width, depth and monumentality of a space than with depicting a specific landscape. With the help of abstract elements, cuts and shifts, she disrupts her and our memory and experience of a specific place and allows us to enter a space in between abstraction and figuration. Layers of color such as rock structures, waves and clouds pile up in her pictorial spaces and yet are repeatedly disturbed by abstract hatching, squares and structures. Her play with figuration and abstraction takes place in a zone of in-betweenness. It is precisely this tipping point - in English Verge - that the artist is interested in. How many figurative clues, such as the sky or towers of clouds, does it take to convey a sense of space? Or rather, when does abstraction with cuts and shifts dominate over figuration? Michelle Jezierski invites viewers to engage in this perception experiment and questions our sensory impressions with her painting. Michelle Jezierski comes from a family of musicians. At the age of 17 she decided to become a visual artist. At the Berlin University of the Arts she begins studying with the renowned professor of sculpture Tony Cragg. Cragg's influence is that she learns a lot about the use of space during this time. This was followed by a scholarship at the Cooper Union in New York with Amy Sillman. She finally completed her studies with Valérie Favre and has lived in Berlin ever since. Jezierski received scholarships from the Kunstfonds Foundation and NICA. Her works are in international collections. Her work has been shown in the Kunsthalle Dessau, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Kunsthalle Emden, among others. A publication will be published to accompany the exhibition.

Thanks to the generous donation from the family of the collector Erich Marx, who died in 2020, to the Nationalgalerie collection, key works such as “Tram Stop. A monument to the future” (1976) and “Das Kapital Raum, 1970–1977” (1980). The new exhibition, exhibited for the first time in the Kleihueshalle and comprising around 15 works, explores the complex work and reception of Joseph Beuys. In addition to sculptures, environments and multiples, the works include groundbreaking actions such as “The CHEF THE CHIEF, Fluxus Song” (1964) and “I like America and America likes Me” (1974). The permanent presentation will now be shown with a changing solo exhibition of a contemporary position - starting on March 22, 2023, with the Israeli artist Naama Tsabar (* 1982).

With Circles of Light, the Gropius Bau will be showing the artist's most comprehensive overview exhibition in Germany to date from March 2024. The exhibition includes, among other things, film, video, photography, sound works, concrete poetry, sculptures and expansive installations as well as drawings and documentation from over 25 years. In her practice, Nancy Holt reimagined site-specific installations and working with natural and artificial light. She addressed ecological aspects early on and incorporated the earth's rotation, astronomy as well as time and place into her sculptures - and in doing so repeatedly challenged us to look beyond what we think we know. Holt's working method will be given a special presence in the exhibition in the Gropius Bau through the artist's texts and recordings.

Following on from current discourses on the class question, Kerstin Honeit (* 1977 in Berlin) addresses social structures that lead to massive economic inequality in her new video work. In a poetic, resistant narrative, “Decors of Poverty” from the artist's family interior meet the architecture of the Steglitzer Kreisel, a well-known ruined building for luxury real estate speculation in Berlin, which in its municipal past as the location of the district office was also the distribution point for social assistance.

As precise as Concrete Art may be, there is, however, no precise record of the exact birth of its name. While the term was officially and verifiably introduced into art theory in 1930 with the publication of Theo van Doesburg's manifesto of the same name, there is a second, much less precise date of birth in 1924. According to tradition, van Doesburg was already using the term for his own works in this year, i.e. he had already formulated it linguistically at this time.This quasi-unofficial birth year of Concrete Art, which will mark its 100th anniversary in 2024, provides a suitable opportunity - despite its vague verifiability - to ask questions of a very fundamental nature about the long-established art movement and its not entirely uncontroversial name: How current and on the pulse of our time is Concrete Art? How intensively and with what intention are its principles (still) "lived" today? And how do contemporary artists view the sense of mission of those artistic precursors who attempted to precisely define and propagate this art movement in its early years, particularly in the form of manifestos?

The group exhibition developed in Dakar proposes a new look at the past and creates access to other forms of knowledge and knowledge transfer. In their installations, photographs and objects, the participating artists examine how a future can be imagined from a decolonial perspective. was on view at the Musée Theodore Monod in Dakar in 2023 and is part of the TALKING OBJECTS LAB, a series of exhibitions, artist residencies and events that have been taking place since 2020 in Senegal, Kenya and Germany, among others.

In his first solo exhibition in Berlin, Franz Wanner (* 1975 in Bad Tölz) examines the current effects of the exploitation through forced labor that was practiced on a massive scale under National Socialism. Using photographs, texts, films and objects, the artist creates a narrative about social continuities from the Nazi era to today and identifies gaps in the German culture of remembrance.

The exhibition includes three work complexes with participatory wall and floor works that can also be activated sonically by the audience as instruments. The music performance designed for the exhibition is created in collaboration with musicians from Berlin and New York who define themselves as women or who are gender non-conforming. With the use of felt and sound, Tsabar refers to Joseph Beuys , whose works are being shown at the same time in the Kleihueshalle. The exhibition is the start of a series of contemporary presentations in dialogue with the collection presentation of Beuys' works. Naama Tsabar (born 1982, Israel, lives and works in New York) opens up hidden spaces and systems in her interactive works, redefines gender-specific narratives and shifts the viewing experience to a moment of active participation. Her sculptures and installations can be used as instruments by the audience or in collaborative performances. In the transformational process between sculpture and instrument, between form and sound, the intimate, sensual, physical potential of her works becomes tangible. By collaborating with local groups of female or non-binary performers, Tsabar opens up new spaces of feminist and queer history.

Who has not ever wished to slip into a painting of earlier times, to meet the people there and to learn how they lived at that time? The exhibition “Rein in the painting! A journey through time for children" invites children and families, one of the four famous Augsburg monthly pictures from the 16th century. century to discover. Like in a pop-up book, they immerse themselves in the painting and the life of time. People depicted in the painting become storytelling figures and opening up access to the four themes: people, play, trade and nature. But did life really look like this 500 years ago? What does the painting tell us about the past and what does it not show us?
