Adrienne und Omari
During our split winter between Berlin and Japan, we watched “Monster”, an anime from 2004, set in Germany centered around a Japanese doctor Kenzo Tenma who is a brain surgeon working at Eisler Memorial Hospital. Early on in the show, fraternal twins Johan and Anna Liebert are rushed to the hospital, Johan in critical condition […]
Restaging something good that happened
The device for capture is used only when unrecognized. As soon as the thought appears “this is the creating of memory”, the past happens in front of the present. An action of future-shaped remembering takes over the happening. The wind moving is seen like a video, its sound in replay (yet irretrievable all the more). […]
tausend tränen
Wir diskutieren den Hängeplan von Babette Semmers Gemälden für ihre Ausstellung „tausend tränen“ im Studio Hanniball, als mein Handy vibriert. „Ich glaube, wir müssen das beenden. Das mit uns ist eine Flucht aus der Realität. Ich glaube, ich muss ein bisschen vernünftiger sein, sonst komme ich nicht weiter im Leben“, schreibt mir mein Highschool-Lover. Vor […]
Lotte
Kunstverein Dresden presents Lotte, the first solo exhibition in Germany by Canadian artist Lorna Bauer. Through photography and sculpture, Bauer has developed a meticulously crafted body of work that explores the delicate interplay between glass and analogue photography — two mediums that reflect our complex and ambivalent desire to observe, control, preserve and record the […]

PULCINELLA
Tudor Ciurescu’s exhibition Pulcinella unfolds like an absurdist theatre play, where logic crumbles, and objects become protagonists in their own right. A meditation on balance, absence, and the tension between stability and collapse, the exhibition embraces the spirit of Eugène Ionesco’s theatre, where the mundane is distorted, and reality is a precarious illusion. Inspired by […]

Azure Green
The revival of magical beliefs is possible today because it no longer represents a social threat—Silvia Federici, 2004. During the Middle Ages, magic emboldened the peasants, giving them a sense of agency and autonomy from the ruling class. At least, that’s what the nobility feared. So, witches had to burn. Though these fires helped illuminate […]

Map and Territory
An exhibition after a quote by Alfred Korzybski, a metaphor that illustrates the difference between reality and our understanding of it. The map is not the territory, the word is not the thing. Through subjective geometric symbolism the artist questions systems that surround us, shaping our reality: language, family and other social structures.“These paintings draw […]
