Every year in December for one week Miami changes to the global market place for art: Around the central event “Art Basel Miami Beach” now more than 25 satellite fairs have been installed, which attract the art enthusiasts from all over the world to beautiful Florida. In the thick of it the oldest and second fair on the spot, the ART MIAMI.
As sole gallery from the Ruhrgebiet Obrist Gallery participated at CONTEXT last week, the platform for contemporary art on the ART MIAMI. The One Artist Show by Marcela Böhm was a success, like the new digital collages by Rainer Stock and the sculptures by Ted Van Cleave, and some artworks were sold at our debut. Two more positions, we have shown in the last year with solo exhibitions, were to be found in Miami last week: Jürgen Paas at Art Miami with Galerie Lausberg and Hanakam & Schuller at Art Basel with Galerie Krinzinger.
Wiebke Bartsch at Kunsthalle Münster
Currently Kunsthalle Münster is showing the exhibition “Die Liebe zu den Dingen” (Love for things), with the following positions: Wiebke Bartsch, Alexandra Bircken, Karla Black, Kristina Bræin, Sylvie Fleury, Andreas Gloël, Surasi Kusolwong, Al Masson, Roman Signer, Florian Slotawa, Erwin Wurm, Haegue Yang. On 3 und 7 of December a TV-report about the exhibition will be featured on WESTART (WDR-TV).

During the fair the gallery is open at REGULAR TIMES, and we are looking forward to your visit. – Until 11 January, 2014, the exhibition “Under The Skin” with current painting positions is to be seen, and the “Wundertüte” is on its finish with only 90 art surprise bags left. Here you can order your “Wundertüte”…
“Unter die Haut” und Wundertüte 2013
Unsere Ausstellung setzt aktuelle Positionen der Malerei in Kontrast und Bezug. Die Haut als Gegenstand der Malerei bedeutete für die Künstler aller Epochen eine besondere Herausforderung. “Das Tiefste, das ist die Haut”, hat es Paul Valery formuliert, und im Kontext der Malerei ist mit diesem Paradoxon nicht nur der besondere Anspruch einer naturgetreuen Widergabe der Haut gemeint, sondern auch ihre Eigenschaft als Projektionsfläche verschiedenster Charakteristika der gemalten Person: Jugend und Alter, Lust und Leid, Härte und Verletzlichkeit, Anspannung und Gleichmut etc. – Die menschliche Oberfläche spricht stets von dem, was darunter liegt. Und jenseits der Abbildhaftigkeit spielt die Haut bei den vorgestellten Positionen unserer Ausstellung auch eine wichtige Rolle in der Reflexion der malerischen Mittel: Insofern ein Thema der Malerei, was eine nähere Betrachtung lohnt.
Beteiligte Künstler und Künstlerinnen: Simone Haack, Marcela Böhm, Anja Schreiber, Andreas Titzrath, Wiebke Bartsch.
Am gleichen Abend eröffnen wir auch die Aktion “WUNDERTÜTE – Die Kunst in Tüten”. Seit mehr als 10 Jahren füllen alljährlich 20 Künstler der Galerie jeweils 20 Tüten mit ihrer Kunst. Was sich in den namentlich gekennzeichneten Tüten befindet, ob Malerei, Skulptur, Fotografie, Objekt oder Multiple, das erfahren Sie erst beim Kauf. Zur Eröffnung am 15. November spricht die WDR-Moderatorin Martina Esser. In diesem Jahr wird die „Wundertüte“ mit einer Spendenaktion zugunsten des Förderturm- Ideen für Essener Kinder e.V. verknüpft: 2€ pro verkaufter Tüte gehen an den Förderturm.
Hier können Sie Wundertüten online bestellen…

PETER SCHLÖR: Black & Wide
12 Oct. – 9 Nov., 2013
Press Release Peter Schlör
Peter Schloer in October
From October 11 to November 9 Obrist Gallery will exhibit selected works by renown Mannheim-based photo artist Peter Schlör. His recent works have a pictorial approach. The artist uses natural phenomena like the sea, clouds, mountains or forests, to achieve a painterly surface in his pictures: the different structures and consistencies assemble to abstract picture worlds.
In these works Peter Schlör detaches himself from the documental element of photography and devotes himself to contentual and aesthetic questions. For his photographs Peter Schlör awaits the moment when nature assembles in a perfect composition for his image structure. On the one hand it is the might of nature which he wants to capture; on the other hand these moments are chosen in a way that makes them resemble a painter’s brushwork. The very bulky, voluminous clouds in some of his pictures are precisely elaborated by the light. Cloud veils and misty haze, which are creating a poetic and often mythical impression, are applied specifically in contrast to the sharp outlines of forests and rocks. The deprivation of colors abstracts the motif from its reality and emphasizes the significance of the form language. Thus they are no longer reflections of nature but rather compositions of various surface impressions.
(Excerpts from a text by Dana Weschke)

Dieter Kränzlein and Till Augustin
From the 6th of September to the 5th October Galerie Obrist is exhibiting selected pieces by the two renowned sculptors Dieter Kränzlein and Till Austin. The artists use materials that appear static, solid and motionless by nature. Nevertheless, both artists succeeded in inverting the properties of the materials and turned them into light, flexible and rhythmical appearing objects. This achievement is always based on a very complex and elaborate working process, which at the same time constitutes the basis of the dialogue between the two artists.
For the first time, Dieter Kränzlein presented in the context of this exhibition his newest series: The innovative resin sculptures are made from casts taken from his well-known limestone-sculptures, which are included in the exhibition as well. The works are characterized by their translucent nature, which in interaction with light alludes to ice crystals or glacier water. The artist from Stuttgart is now presenting his work for the 6th times in cooperation with Galerie Obrist. Furthermore, his work has already been displayed at numerous international exhibitions and fairs.
Till Augustine is best known for his elaborate steel sculptures and has been part of the European art market for more than three decades now. His works are created out of an autodidactic process, in which he turns the robust material, welds it and often transforms it by cutting sharp edges into the form. The result shows that his objects have overcome the initial material properties and has become a flowing, new form.

Opening Reception Hanakam and Schuller
Until the 3rd of August, we will be showing the current art project “Interface” by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller in Dusseldorf. At yesterday’s opening reception Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Ullrich, director of the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, conducted a conversation with the Vienna-based artist couple. Aside from that the artists gave an introduction into their work by use of a beamer projection. In spite of the oppressive heat it was a very illuminating talk, and the visitors stuck to it until the end.

Hanakam and Schuller in Düsseldorf
From the 25th of July to the 3rd of August, we will show the current art project “Interface” by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller in Dusseldorf. The opening on the 25th of July 2013 includes a discussion with Hanakam & Schuller lead by Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Ullrich, as well as a short presentation by the Viennese artist couple.
Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller’s current work “Interface” (2013) represents an object based on drawing in a series of graphic works, which were created as set-elements of their short films. Comparable to other art works by the couple “Interface” again allows its audience to explore the connection between an apparatus and the graphical interface and operate or move individual elements. The art work consists of a ten meter long drawing trail on a roll, a wall construction and a table segment, which enables the participant to create via “scanning” a cutout version of the drawing. Comparable to other works by Hanakam & Schuller, they incorporate again in the case of “interface” small-scale plastic objects, which serve as placeholders or game tokens for the viewer as well as for future performers.

Julia Willms: Prologue in Düsseldorf
[Not a valid template]
Until 29 June Julia Willms and Andrea Bozic will be showing their work “A WORLD” at Mutter Ey-Straße 5 in Düsseldorf, a manifest, which changes its shape, depending on the context of its placement. At EY5 it is an audiovisual space installation for a visitor and an empty gallery space with an outside view, and it is a signed book-multiple (The multiple you can order HERE). In the future it will take on other shapes: The manifest is an artwork and the artwork is a generator.
Upcoming Friday the exhibition will be inaugurated in Essen, with a wider cross section of the work of Julia Willms and Andrea Bozic.

Press Release Julia Willms
Utopia of the art space
In a two-parted exhibition media artist Julia Willms presents current works from 21. to 29. of June at EY5 in Düsseldorf and from the 29. of June to 24. of August at Obrist Gallery in Essen. Entitled „A World“ the exhibition shows works, which were created in collaboration with choreographer Andrea Bozic. In their exhibition Willms and Bozic esthetically put focus on the perception and reflection of art spaces. By exploring, modifying and alienating the reception of these spaces the two artists show ingeniously those layers of an artwork, which regularly are ignored by traditional art perception.
At first Julia Willms displays in Düsseldorf once again an analysis of the reality levels within the White Cube. “A World” is an audiovisual room installation, in which the artist confronts her audience with fragments of an utopian system. After specifying the individual parts of the utopia, the proposal is inverted. Therefore the audience is confronted with a solely auditive mediated utopia – a paradox situation, that irritates and at the same time stimulates.
In the following exhibition in Essen the focus is set on the video installation „Tensiontest” and further the audiovisual room installation “The Avantgarde Never Gives Up”. Considering the video installation, the observers sight is drawn into a fragile system of a rhythmical formation of bubbles. At the same time the tension and expectation increases due to the random popping of bubbles, that fill the dark space in which the sensitive grid appears to be floating in. With “The Avantgarde Never Gives Up” the artist modifies the artistic work process by altering the singularity of the originator and thereby offers a new perspective on the creation process.
“A World” is the fourth exhibition by Julia Willms in cooperation with Obrist Gallery. The artist from Wilmhelmshaven studied media art under Prof. Prof. Bernhard Leitner in Vienna. In 2009 she received the START scholarship for Video and media art of the BMUKK, Austria and displayed her artwork on international level, such as in Vienna, Brno and Leeds.
The exhibition is supported by:
