Through the work “Double Flowers” Paula Muhr explores socio-cultural mechanisms and strategies of constructing sexuality, gender, desire and normality. She is especially interested in the historical and contemporary mediating role of photography and other lens-based media in the construction of knowledge as well as in the creation of social norms of acceptable and desirable appearance and behavior. She questions scientific and social practices reflected in medical portrait photography and written documents from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, juxtaposing them with contemporary medical material.
“Double Flowers” is an artistic reinterpretation of historical medical images of female psychiatric patients, predominantly of “hysterics” from the famous French clinic Salpetriere. The appropriated images, which originally served as an illustration, but also as an unambiguous objective evidence of illness and abnormality, are destabilised in their original function.

The main theme in this project is the dialogue: If we have no language to
share, how can we communicate? Can we really communicate by using body language and eye contact? Aren’t these languages the limited tools based on the ability of ordinary abled body? How can we establish the dialogue, which goes beyond the condition and ability of the body and cultural backgrounds?

Bingyi, the artist, rolls out bespoke rice paper to surround a small village house on the Fuchun River in the southeast of China. She pours ink and water into the air, waiting for them to fall and merge into the paper. Through this scroll in land-art scale, the artist's hand retreats so as to let the magic hand of nature paint. This could be the synthesis moment of Trinitas of the three great themes of Chinese philosophy - heaven, human and earth - meeting and becoming one.

Is wind tangible? Are spirits visible? This 160m long action painting with ink on rice paper will be presented to shine in the light inside the St. Johannes-Evangelist Church located on the Art Mile in Berlin-Mitte.

Bingyi is an artist based in Beijing and New York.

Media Impactors exhibition is a presentation of the young Russian activist art that emerged at the beginning of the century and is quickly developing.

Today, we witness important changes in Russian contemporary art.
Artists come out of the studios, museums and galleries to make interventions in the streets and online social networks. They take part in different forms of social activism from political to ecological actions and community work. The new type of emerging artists call themselves activists: no analogues to that have been known in Russian art before. They refuse to work with institutions, search for their own forms of artistic existence, cooperate with subcultures and social movements.

This exhibition will give the German audience an insight into the many forms Russian activist art takes today in format of video documentations of the actions. “Meda Impact. International Festival of Activist Art” (2011, Moscow) book will be presented within the opening.

The role of the contemporary artist consists of capturing signals originating from society, becoming an interpreter for these signals, and operating a critique. By referring to existence, the artist testifies to its cultural and social conditions.
The space and its related topics, such as movement, perception, time, and identity, are the concepts around which Stefania Migliorati extends her artistic research emphasizing the values ​​that art generates in relation to the territory, not only as a geographical and physical area, but also as a lived-in space and as the history of the material and immaterial signs of the past.
The water symbolizes the starting critical vehicle for the evolution of a study aimed to analyze the transformations of urban spaces, whether physical, the construction itself, or those mental, by a modification which passes through the perception of space. The link between architecture and water has sunk its roots in a remote past. ...

Czech Republic - Prague

Ends 31.07.2012

“I always think about the subconscious of the city or something like that…” P.T.

Today we know that there is no real future, merely colliding /even surprising/ versions of the past and present. And this applies to artists as well. When Philip Topolovac arrived in Prague last spring for a three-month residency at MeetFactory, one of his biggest areas of interest was the city’s modernist and brutalist architecture, which reminded him of his current home, Berlin, or the Croatian relics of Tito’s utopia.

Generally speaking, Philip is an archaeologist. In Berlin he obsessively and successfully excavated the remains of the Second World War to make impressive museums of disaster, or exploited the aesthetics of science fiction and outer space in his free sculptures. In Prague, he naturally dug into the nearly forgotten /or just subconsciously omitted/ parts of the underground transport systems. The ventilation shafts of Prague’s metro are sculptures par excellence...

In der Ausstellung Synthetic Struggle installieren die Künstlerinnen Maja Rohwetter und Gabriele Künne ein begehbares Szenarium visueller Erfahrungswelten.
Der spezielle Raum der ursprünglich als mobile Allzweckhalle konzipierten DDR-Architektur dient dabei als Grundlage für eine Reflexion über Raum zwischen Realität und Fiktion.
Orte mit komplexen architektonischen Strukturen, die trotz ihres realen Vorhandenseins fiktionale Aspekte beinhalten, bilden einen der Ausgangspunkte beider Künstlerinnen. Bezüge zu virtuellen Welten, digitalen Technologien und der in diesem Zusammenhang veränderten Wahrnehmung von Natur spielen bei dieser Arbeitsweise ebenso eine Rolle.

Es sind Lebenserfahrungen, Emotionen und Stimmungen, die in diesem Jahr die vier KünstlerInnen der Sommerausstellung Imaginarium in einer ganz besonderen Atmosphäre vereinen.

Erika Matsunami aus Japan entwirft mit ihrem Projekt "B.O.D.Y.(2000-2010)" ein audiovisuelles Konzept zum Thema Körper, in dem sie es schafft gleichzeitig extremste Nähe und Distanz zu verbinden. Um das Zentrum allen Ursprungs aus anderer Sicht geht es dagegen der deutschen Künstlerin Bettina Lüdicke, die mit ihren Wandobjekten jede Körperlichkeit hinter sich lässt, um der Imagination freien Raum zu geben.

Konkreter wird es wieder in der Arbeit von Eliana Heredia, die Himmel und Hölle zusammenführt. Die argentinische Künstlerin präsentiert ihre großformatige, sich wölbende Rauminstallation "Madeleine und das Feuer", um mit einem gewöhnlichen Gebrauchsmaterial auf verblüffende Art und Weise die Zerbrechlichkeit der menschlichen Beziehungen aufzuzeigen...

A project by Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien
The artists presented in the exhibition "Journey to Jerusalem" live and work in Berlin with many of them only having moved to Berlin a few years ago.
The common point in their work is that they refer to the artists’ own respective and diverse religious traditions and contexts, furthermore relating the inherent commandments and prohibitions. Their work expresses intersections of different traditions and personal environments and experiences, thereby dealing both with form and medium as well as with religious and art-historical traditions. Iwajla Klinke refers to baroque portraiture, Benyamin Reich to Dutch genre painting and history of photography, Zohar Freiman quotes and reflects upon the painters Balthus and Giotto, Trudy Dahan investigates artistic craft and oriental forms and objects, whilst Stevie Hanley approaches the topic of religion and taboo by dealing with the stylistic idiom of botanical and animal drawings.

100 years ago, in 1912, Wassily Kandinsky published in the almanac "The Blue Rider" a text which seems to be a manifest on founding sound art - at least a foreshadowing of sound art. His writing "Über Bühnenkomposition" (On stage composition) is a theoretical preface on a planned stage piece called "Der gelbe Klang" (The yellow sound) and in this text he postulated a new connection between the arts, an "inner" connection of "sound, color, words" and movement. His piece was never realised in his lifetime.

The installation Der gelbe Klang2 (The yellow sound2) as a homage to Kandinsky takes his conceptual ideas and makes a transfer into a contemporary sound art piece. Georg Klein often works in his sound art installations with a certain color which defines togehter with a basic sound a fundamental atmosphere of a specific site, preparing a field in which more material - sounds, words, video - can appear.
