Gregory J. Rose Jennifer Homer-Hynes Robert Reed This exhibition highlights the efforts of GAP members. GAP members are known for and really good at trading frags (fragments of found material) by collecting them, putting them in envelopes and mailing them to other members throughout the world. The GAP member on the receiving end will then create an original work using the frags received in the mail. There are over 60 artist members in GAP from 17 countries. On view in Gallerie Renee Marie beginning in December 2020 (exact dates and times TBA).
Studio Baustelle ist ein Künstler*innen Kollektiv in Neukölln. Wir veranstalten Workshops, Ausstellungen, Talks und Kunstauktionen. Wir sind in Neukölln angesiedelt und nehmen an verschiedenen Kunstfestivals wie 48h NK, Offene Ateliers (Werkstadt e.V.) und LA Connect teil. Wir sind eine Gruppe von 4 Künstlerinnen aus verschiedenen Genres (Fotografie, Grafik und Malerei). Unsere Idee ist es Künstler*innen zu vernetzen und zeitgenössische Diskurse anzuregen.

Der Begriff soll von Genesis Breyer P-Orridge in den 1980er Jahren geprägt worden sein und ist eine Kombination aus den Wörtern “okkult” und “Kultur” und beschreibt etwas, das sowohl kulturell als auch okkult/spirituell ist. Okkultur kann auch als der Raum zwischen Kunst und Magie beschrieben werden. Der Raum, in dem […]
(ESP, English below) Comisariada por Margot Cuevas & Gabriel Virgilio Luciani 16 de octubre – 11 de noviembre, Tangent Projects gallery. La segunda ley hermética de la alquimia, as above so below (tanto arriba como abajo) busca evidenciar un intercambio dialéctico, coral y polifónico entre varios estados potenciales que puede tener toda entidad. Hay semejanzas, ecos y reflejos matéricos, esotéricos y mesotéricos que resuenan justamente como las metáforas resuenan con su sujeto de interés. Entre el estrato de existencia y percepción de arriba y el de abajo residen miles de mutantes y ciborgs; productos de ficción y fusión. Este entremedio se constituye por un simulacro que parece pero no es, que desobedece un anclaje fijo en la veracidad. Either but neither (ambos pero a la vez ninguno). Este fenómeno aparentemente paradójico es lo que genera un mareo muy peculiar: un horror existencial hacia lo ambiguo, indeterminable, invertido, lo que recuerda a pero no lo es. Nos encontramos así ante lo que se llama Postmodern Vertigo, un pánico, una dislocación sensorial y de la propia estructura que sustenta nuestra realidad. No es un rechazo a la realidad o a su existencia, ni tampoco una negación de nuestra existencia como sujetos. Es […]
This exhibition presents a reflection on the transposition of choreography in contemporary art works and methods through photography, sculpture, video, and performance. The dancing body occupies a central place in this show, where the potential of movement is explored in visual art.
The influential Viennese media artist Peter Kogler shows the installation EYES ONLY, for which he also uses a 3D LED fan for the first time. The artist, who participated in the documenta IX in Kassel in 1992, is internationally renowned for his computer animations, video projections, and illusionistic as well as real spatial labyrinths that animate and redefine architecture. Using computer-set, digitally printed paper webs and a projection generated by a 3D LED fan, Peter Kogler transforms the whole gallery space into a showcase of so much attraction. Curved lines along the walls, ceiling and floor strive towards a hologram-like, free-floating eye, which, like the human one, is constantly in slight motion. The overall picture appears like a modern icon, which triggers a wide range of associations in the viewer, ranging from the illusion of the private sphere, through the public Big Brother level to the meta-level of the divine eye.
Curated by Carl Heyward at Gallerie Renee Marie, Benicia, California. On view through October 31, 2020. Despite our continuing troubles with COVID-19, artists are still working to interpret the world and their responses to it. And even through the many barriers that now, unfortunately, must exist, artists are still finding ways for the public to see their work. Once again, curator Carl Heyward has brought another excellent show to Gallerie Renee Marie. By appointment, the public is invited to visit this wonderful exhibition. The show features the photography of Oakland based multidisciplinary artist and poet Brian Auerbach. The main room of the gallery showcases Auerbach’s interpretive photographs debuting in the show. The intimate gallery is arranged in the ground floor space of one of Benicia’s historic homes, and Heyward has placed works of several Benicia based artists that compliment Auerbach’s ‘Obliterant’ theme in rooms adjacent to the main space. Auerbach captures heart grabbing images of graffiti, rust, painted marks, and advertising copy. Through digital manipulation, he alters and blends these fragments with images taken from nature. Auerbach makes powerful use of the color red in several especially effective pieces; and presents movingly mysterious images of dusk and the not-quite-seen things […]
Solidarity at this difficult time is an important issue! “Quarantine Exhibition” is a virtual exhibition during fragile times. The COVID-19 pandemic changes our lives significantly day after day. Despite the current crisis, art is demonstrating its force. In April, after lockdown measures were put in place around the world, our immediate impulse was to bring together artists, friends, peers and professionals from any geographic location, with no limits on age, nationality, or career stage, through the format of a truly open, open call. The artists were motivated to submit a statement and an artwork in any medium of their choice, transmitting their immediate impressions during quarantine. With a total of 445 submissions, the open call shifted into a plethora of voices and impulses, as well as a cartography of the global sentiment. With a variety of strong and compelling works, the selection process became simultaneously exciting and challenging. Space52 and the selection committee have selected 60 artists that will be included in the exhibition. Selected international artists are invited to engage in a series of online exhibitions, eventually staging a gallery exhibition. Paying tribute to the solidarity shown by artists and institutions, at a time when art is suffering fully […]
