Emily Allchurch in the Royal Academy London Summer Show
13 june - 20 august 2017

Galleries are tied to their artists' lists and programs. This sometimes makes a little clumsy. We have longed for manoeuvrability and want to be more flexible again - with our new project space. Freedom of decision-making and speedy implementation, that was the desire. Small exhibitions, discussion rounds, actions and work presentations apart from the series - that's the point. Be our guests.

Let's start next Saturday, 27 May at 8 pm with a small show by and with Emily Allchurch. Last January during the London Art Fair Emily appeared at our booth. We showed the Turner series by Hiroyuki Masuyama, and she said she was doing "something similar". When she introduced herself, I was delighted: Her works were already noticeable to me. I had already thought of offering a collaboration to her local gallerist, Giles Baker-Smith, and now everything went very fast and easy. Works by Emily Allchurch traveled to Germany and a group of Hiroyuki Masuyama oeuvres stayed with my British colleague.

EXHIBITION 'CONTEST'

Tue - Sun: 2 - 7pm  
Admission free

Leipzig-based photographer Erasmus Schröter is showing images from his photo series Contest in Künstlerhaus Bethanien. This series consists of large-format, colour portraits of young European men that Schröter photographed at various meetings and festivals of the Wave Gothic scene over the past four years.
The protagonists are in fierce competition with each other regarding the greatest admiration for their extraordinary appearance, aiming to provoke outrage with their consistent crossing of sexual, religious, and moral boundaries and taboos.
Pushing the boundaries with their obvious Narcissism, they illustrate the immense changes in European societies in an exemplary way.

Erasmus Schröter *1956 in Leipzig, left the GDR in 1985 and moved to Hamburg. Since 1997 Schröter has been living in Leipzig again.

At the 2018 edition Karlsruhe Art Fair we present the installation "Ad Astra" by Hiroyuki Masuyama. It consists of the sphere "0" (at the “sculpture square”) and a one-artist show. The Sphere "0" is a walk-through wooden ball of 300 cm diameter, perforated with 30,000 glass fiber pens of different size and colour, which depict the stars of the northern and southern hemispheres. Who climbs them sees stars on all sides, as if one were floating alone in space.   

Our second one-artist show is traditionally based on the latest works by Thitz. His "Utopian Civilizations" show cities of tomorrow, looking like jungles, mountains or simply mega-cities. 

Preview tickets available for our collectors. Each ticket admits two. Please send us an e-mail and do not forget your recent postal address.
