The performance Celebrating Brutal with Love is based on the book Brutal with Love. It is the result of a conversation spanning three years between Kirstin Burckhardt and Lisa W Carlson. Together they render audible how they encounter each other through language, image and body and find themselves in radical gentleness in the here and now.

The bone man is central in the medieval death dances, he brings the living into the realm of the dead. In our contemporary dance of death, the figure transforms, can take on many forms and wears different faces. It is not only seen as a representative of death, but also stands for the problems of our time. Climate catastrophes, disappearing glacier ice and perpetual fires, the spreading diseases, wars, reintroduced abortion laws and evocations of the end of the world. In the face of crises that seem almost biblical, there is a need for a memento mori. One that shows that without awareness of finitude, no future life is possible. Our dance of death is multi-perspective and interdisciplinary: a dance performance with live, pulsating sounds from analog feedbacks and a book that gathers literary voices.

Gneisenaustrasse 54

Helmi Vent, die Protagonistin des Buchs Lab Inter Arts. Einblicke in das Performance-Labor »Hätte Hätte Fahrradkette« wird im Vexer Verlag Büro Berlin zu Gast sein.

Die emeritierte Universitätsprofessorin an der Universität Mozarteum Salzburg, wird Einblicke geben in ihre Laborarbeit und ihre Arbeitsweise. Dabei wird sie auch Menschen vorstellen, die in Lab Inter Arts-Projekten, besonders in »Hätte Hätte Fahrradkette«, mitexploriert, mitentdeckt, mitdiskutiert, mitkonzipiert haben.

Vents Laborarbeit zeichnet sich durch experimentelle, interdisziplinäre und performative Facetten aus, die sich in Mairitschs Buchkapiteln widerspiegeln wie beispielsweise der Körper, das Stimmen, das Zuhören, das Unvorhersehbare.

Die Veranstaltung wird begleitet von Ausschnitten aus der filmischen Projektdokumentation »Hätte Hätte Fahrradkette«, die auch dem Buch von Karin Mairitsch zugrunde liegt.

Buchpremiere Burgbergstrasse mit Wolfram Hahn

Torbogengebäude im Fliegerhorst
Burgbergstraße 36
74564 Crailsheim
Germany

In the work Burgbergstrasse the photoprapher Wolfram Hahn deals with the history of the buildings and inhabitants of Burgbergstrasse in Crailsheim. The road passes through a former air base built for the Wehrmacht in 1936. Since then, the area has been used for various military and civilian purposes: the US Armed Forces built barracks, which served as their base until 1994, and the German Federal Armed Forces set up an equipment depot. Shortly after the war, a camp for displaced persons was set up and there is still refugee accommodation and affordable housing for people in need to this day.

Exhibition Autotomy David Edward Allen

Ausstellung David Edward Allen

Exhibition opening 28. June, 6 – 9 pm

Vexer Verlag Berlin Office
Gneisenaustrasse 54
10961 Berlin

We are opening an exhibition of paintings by David Edward Allen at the Vexer Verlag office in Berlin, which will be on view during the summer months. We look forward to seeing you there!

Were there to be a genre called Nature Painting, it could very well be the one to which David Edward Allen—whose latest series of paintings—would belong. Allen, however, is concerned less with depicting the landscape and more with the relationship between nature and humanity. In covering the landscape with darkness and turning it into something threatening and vital, he reverses the traditional painterly gesture of inhibiting and thus controlling nature. The nature depicted becomes restive. As do his images, which challenge the viewer by oscillating between abstraction and figuration and by way of the diffuse energy they emit. They seek to be both looked at up-close and viewed from afar.

Book Launch with Gabriela Gerber and Lukas Bardill

To a mouse

19 pm

Postremise
Engadinstrasse 43
7000 Chur
Switzerland

The publication To a Mouse is based on twelve animated films produced by Gabriela Gerber and Lukas Bardill between 2011 and 2022. The motifs emanate from the artist couple’s pre-alpine and rural environment and address the relationship between people and landscape, or people and nature. Consistently depicted in black and white, we see a badger, a farmer scything, numerous mice. The sequence or images create movement: someone shoots a photo, a train derails, a deer runs past a meadow. By transposing them into a new medium, peripheral occurrences move into the focus of perception and can be experienced as such.

22.5.2022

Book Launch with Angela Lyn

Buchpremiere mit Angela Lyn

11 am

Villa Arconati FAR
Via Fametta, 1
20021 Castellazzo MI
Italy

On the Edge of Time is an immersive, sensual journey into the world of artist Angela Lyn. Born to a Chinese father and an English mother, she grew up between cultures, living in the U.K., U.S. and Taiwan.
Narratives, poetry and images are woven together in the pages of this richly illustrated work, which mirrors Angela Lyn’s major exhibition in 25 rooms of the Villa Arconati-FAR, a baroque palazzo near Milan, Italy. An authentic chronicle linking art and life, the book touches on universal themes that make a deep and lasting impression.

Buchpremiere - Dirk Reimes

7 pm

Oberwelt
Reinsburgstr. 93
70197 Stuttgart

sous un ciel partagé entre nuages et éclaircies is the result of a year of research in Brussels and combines autobiography with fiction, everyday experiences with collected contemporary testimonies. In photographs found at flea markets and a text that imagines encounters with some of the people depicted, past and present meet and tell of the fleeting nature of life and our futile attempts to hold on to time. The resulting book and a limited edition of twelve original photographs in handmade frames will be presented.

In the artist talk with Ania Corcilius, Ann-Kathrin Müller, Ivan Zozulya and Dirk Reimes, we also look forward to a lively discussion of the book's themes and aspects from the various perspectives of the individual artistic practices.

Of Visions and Realities
Reflections on the museum landscape in Bern

What will the museums of the future be like? What requirements will they have to fulfil, what needs will they have to meet? Who will be involved, and what can and should be shown? For the publication "Kunstvermittlung geht an Land: Studentische Perspektiven auf die Gegenwart der Zukunft von Kunstmuseen in der Schweiz" ("Art education heads to the country: student perspectives on the present and future of art museums in Switzerland"), students conducted field research, held discussions with curators and art educators and wrote articles; others contributed to the book's image section by imagining future exhibition venues with artistic, design and mediation work.
