We are thrilled to announce our upcoming exhibition „Group Show“ of Bradley Davies.
“Because all works of art are really a collaboration, no art is made in a vacuum. Thinking about trying to then define a group, like many various unique voices that make a choir that sing a song in unison, in parts together, by a composer, it is collective but also not. Parameters are simply inevitable.” – Bradley Davies

Perhaps I exaggerate, but I have the feeling that what is happening right now — the stale smell, the nostalgia for a world gone by — is familiar to me from my history lessons. When the West goes through its tautological financial crises, we tend to turn towards the far right. Personally, I don’t make that turn — I was using the royal ‘we’ — but I do acknowledge that I occasionally have unconscious conservative leanings that I have to work against. I’ve been seeing this rise, this backward tendency, in different ways as a French citizen and Spanish subject. The nuances between a republic and a country, a monarchy restored by a monorchid, where the national bourgeoisie was unable to use spatial forms to escape feudalism as they would have liked, to quote David Harvey. What we see coming, the signals that arrive of the spirit of the time — the nostalgia for order — are not very nice. Like in a tsunami when the waters draw back at first, and you stare in fascinated horror but carry on filming videos or taking photos though you know the mass of water will return as a wave taking everything in its path. And you know you have to run to find a promontory where you won’t be carried away or splashed.

Isabella Fürnkäs AMYGDALA, 2024
On Friday the 13th of September, the performance Amygdala was showcased at Wilhelm Hallen, Berlin, on the occasion of Berlin Art Week. The performers activate the vast industrial space while interweaving their bodies with those of the visitors. In the performance, an unpredictable choreography of connections emerges. Here, where the positions and movements of the individuals are connected by a common red thread, they become a networked whole, disclosing their complex interplay.
The Performance was presented by @kunstforum_international
Duration approx. 45 min, 1200 meters of red thread, 20 hand-made ceramic rings (14 cm each)
Performed by @elvo_axt @angels_near_you

„I would define my way of working as an impressionistic, I mean, going outside and drawing, painting and making movies about what happens, or what I see. Disaster, neofascism, and significant masters, leaders who incredibly and incomprehensibly make people work for free.“

´Painting-as-Prop´ is part of an ongoing dialogue and exchange between the two artist-run spaces Etablissement d’en face and Simian.
As the title suggests, the show’s starting point is the consideration of painted images as theatrical props´… ´In New York City, there is a woman named Niki Logis. She taught sculpture at The Cooper Union for approximately 1000 years. She once invented and then fraudulently attributed a quotation to Martin Heidegger: “a painting hangs off the wall, like a hat, or a gun.”´…

Thank you for joining the opening yesterday!
“Structure means stability and orientation.
Music purposefully structures the passing of time.
Around the age of 13 to 14, your musical preferences set in.
What time is it now? And now?
I am a fictional character, I do not exist. The past does not exist either.
But you can somehow still memorize it.
The future also does not exists. But you can imagine it as an expectation.
The present is experienced as a 3-second time-frame.
One- Two-Three. One -Two-Three.
Would there still be time, if no one was there to experience it?
Is god looking at everything and by this, bringing everything into existence?”

Claus Richter | A deliberate waste of precious time
May 23rd - July 06th 2024
"Hello. My name is A.N.N.A.
I would like to tell you a story. It’s more like a poem.
Or a song.
Do you like Music?
A song is something very interesting.
Few birds sing this song. It’s my favorite.
Look a this man: he hears the song of the birds.
Look a this man, he is in constant motion. He is swinging on a swing.
You can learn that.
For milliseconds, gravity seems to be gone.
In a detail of Fragonards painting „The swing“, a shoe flies. Almost like a bird.
Deep in the forest, the birds sing that song.
The song leaves the woods from time to time. Take a minute and listen.
Do you hear it?
We experience so many things even on an average day.
Some bygone experiences will become memories.
How was your day today?"

„The artist projects the image of the past and unfolds it askew onto the canvas in color. It's a situation of “getting it down with a minimum of fuss.” Until the artist recognizes the last station in the process, this process repeats. By that time layers of these moments have accumulated under whites so transparent they show the painting to be the present station in a series of coming-into-beings. A moment of time left outside of time, placed into time. They imply the white cube of the gallery is itself a palimpsest. The painter is a worker whose brush is dipped not simply in paint but in spacetime as well […]”

„Alongside its modernism there has always been an archaic gesture in abstract painting. After all, the first surviving artworks are the grids and cross-hatchings on cave walls. First showing in the 1990s alongside artists like Mary Heilman and Rosemarie Trockel, Frances Scholz’s paintings undermined, complicated, and lightened abstraction with elements of pop and conceptualism. Her practice of projecting images and tracing the light in abstractions with paint brought this impulse to the radical edge of postmodern ambiguity [...] In the cult of progress the ancient can be the most unexpected, super-futuristic. A Frances Scholz painting never forces a singular mode of perception. To offer unlimited interpretive perspective around deep color-field resonance, it must change willingly with time, light and mind’s flow. Thus, as it seems in this exhibition, taking on more ritualistic aspects than usual, it is particularly suited to show the lie that the socalled archaic is in any way old[...]“

“Connecting the visible and the invisible, the deep and the flat, occupying intermediate states between polar nodes, introducing the floor, the fabric is placed also to remind us: our work lies inside the forest.
In that spirit also I read the placing of the films among the fabrics. The AI Earth Wall series of seven short films, including Earth Wall/Buffalo 2024, nears completion at the time of this writing. With Earth Wall/Buffalo on one tablet, in which hand held camera work gives way to artificially rendered mind's eye views, and a special “making of” -recording on another, calling attention to the human hand working along with the possibilities the AI tools have opened, the films occur as on ongoing process still intra-acting with the falling, performing trees.
Fabrics create community. Typically extra-industrial technology, here there is no escape. Screen-printed by laser printer they also now signify possibilities afforded the artist by developing technology Scholz's use of cloth and foils in installations also goes back into the beginning of the 2000s, when in projects like her film Rollen 2001 performers heads emerged from rolled carpeting. Her recent collaboration with New York based artist and designer Susan Cianciolo first brought mannequin like body parts into her studio.
Here the “Earth People” are literally screened on to camouflage, as if projected by forest to view itself in this anthropocene field.”

From electrically-injected matter, a translucent prosthesis is placed, as distorted fragment, into a field of waves. Glass extracted from stone, as a unit in Indra’s Net and a quasi-monad in Leibniz’s philosophy, embodies in its sensitive reflection, as its individuality, inseparable unity with the entire environment.
In the context of artists like Blinky Palermo, Gordon Matta Clark, and Piero Pasolini, who moved their disciplines into spaces between other disciplines and forms, Frances Scholz has been inclined from the start to move her approach across boundaries of genre and media to wall drawings, film, and sculpture, particularly sculpture in glass. With transparency already an element of her paintings, glass has the further ability to embody positions in spacetime while reflecting others. Like Scholz’s first glass work, Porenbau of 1999, permanently installed in the entrance hall of the Bio-center of Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, the tree skeleton immediately memorializes how metal and glass cling to one another in human constructions, and together to the history of industrialization from where they’ve emerged[...]

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming exhibition Wave Painting Particle Sculpture which will show new works of Frances Scholz.
"Already the trees, a certain community of trees, are the trunk. This is true on whatever branch we stand. We have found painter Frances Scholz leaving the canvas to engage with trees before, in works like "Interview with A Tree" (2001), or with “The Swimmer/ROT”, (2016) filmed and shown at Marfa's Chinati Foundation in 2016, paying homage to Syrian Yusra Mardini, the refugee turned Olympic swimmer, who swam twenty people on a dingy to safety in 2015. During the recent pandemic, she found herself filming in the woods of New England, particularly drawn to a community of trees deep in protected woodland, felled after one of numerous recent extreme weather events. The first impact of the lifted root-pads was implicitly visual, a 2 dimensional revelation of anthropocene shock. She felt she had come upon a recent battlefield, or a graveyard[...]"

Damaris Kerkhoff | ›waking up drawing 05‹ | sewing machine seam on archival paper | 26 x 35 cm (framed) | 2024
"Damaris Kerkhoff’s minimalism is bound up with an existential corporeality that takes in Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, Georges Didi-Huberman’s combination of geometry and anthropology, and Maggie Nelson’s bodily transitivity. In this sense, Kerkhoff is writing a new chapter in an alternative art history, whose prominent points of reference include Marcel Duchamp’s alter ego Rose Selavy, Agnes Martin’s physical drawing, and Sol LeWitt’s absurd humor. The postmodern father (Duchamp) is replaced by the figure of the mother, and LeWitt’s cubic permutations give way to reflection on the geometric and conceptual possibilities of the sphere and its potential for institutional critique."
We are delighted to announce the representation of Damaris Kerkhoff. Discover the work of the artist on our website: www.mariettaclages.de
