Martin Schwenk – First Order Variants

tannenbaum2015-www

The sculptures of Martin Schwenk refer to patterns from nature: straggling branches, roots and leaves merge with technical elements like pipes and tubes to build heterogenic hybrid forms which seem to come from a fictional parallel universe. Straggling and growth itself and its system of ordering become the subject of Schwenk’s sculpture. And this theme is transformed in his drawings as well.

01 through 29 September, 2018
Opening Reception 31 August, 2018, 7 p.m.

Dirk Salz – Painting The Absolute

5800

“Objektive sensory knowledge is not possible. The fact that works by Dirk Salz reflect this in the medium of painting turns out for the viewer, however, not to be the expression of despair over knowledge theory, but rather it awakens curiosity and a desire to discover and makes way for unexpected insights into the nature of gazing.”
Peter Lodermeyer in the book “Dirk Salz. Painting The Absolute.”, Kerber Verlag 2017

14 April through 2 June, 2018
Opening Reception 13 April, 2018, 7 p.m.
On the occasion of the exhibition a new book on Dirk Salz has been published.

Obrist Gallery is happy to announce the third solo exhibition by Dieter Nuhr. Since the recent exhibition two years ago Nuhr went on long-distance journeys for several times, and made his subtle discoveries in Moldavia, Georgia and Mexico among others, like the East German province. In big sized photographs Nuhr opens windows to a graceful and strange world, which in the end remains inapproachable, and here he has developed a very personal and recognizable form of expression in his pictures.
An exhibition booklet has been published.
