With works by WIEBKE BARTSCH – MARCELA BÖHM – (E.) TWIN GABRIEL SIMONE HAACK – ANNEGRET SOLTAU
Even today, women artists who become mothers have to grapple with the question of how motherhood is presented to the outside world. Because it almost seems to be a flaw: making art and being a mother is unthinkable for many art practitioners. Career pauses and career breaks are literally expected and it is doubted whether art can still be created professionally under the conditions of a baby. As in every profession, it is about the question of the compatibility of work and motherhood and whether the art world is not subject to special peculiarities. In one way or another, each of the participating artists in this exhibition has experienced it.
The exhibition also poses the question of how one’s own child and family influence artistic work. Annegret Soltau was one of the first contemporary artists to reflect on her motherhood and her family in her own work, and that was a scandal in the male-dominated art world of the 1970s. Today, the insult is more subtle, with some female artists simply not talking about their motherhood. And why not: children hardly ever appear in the biographies of male colleagues. The exhibition is the prelude to a more in-depth examination of the topic, which will be followed by further events and a publication by 2024.

The Trier sculptor Jáchym Fleig and the Berlin painter and draftsman Armin Hartenstein have already entered into a dialogue in several group exhibitions. Under the title “through” they are now showing a double exhibition in the gallery for the first time.
Fleig (*1970) and Hartenstein (*1968) were both born in tranquil Villingen-Schwenningen in the Black Forest. The affinity for rugged nature and landscape can be felt in the work of both artists. Jáchym Fleig deliberately contrasts the spatial architecture with his stalactite-like conglomerates of polyurethane foam, plaster and corrugated cardboard. Outgrowths characterize his works and something organic seems to be growing out of the artificial material.
Armin Hartenstein saws thin plywood to size and shape, applies his work with acrylic, wax, oil paint and other materials. In doing so, he depicts mountains, craters and geological structures in a painterly and object-like manner, playing with illusion and reality. There are no depictions of real landscapes in these pictures, but they are invented and fictional abstractions of reality.

SAAI FACTORY IS A COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM FOR ARTISTIC PRODUCTION AND AI TECHNOLOGY
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already being used in many technical systems today: for example robotics, blockchain or stock exchange trading. AI generally refers to any human-like behavior performed by a machine or system. But how is AI used in art? And what are the implications of incorporating AI into art? The international artist cooperative SAAI Factory addresses these questions in our exhibition.

Our exhibition is a tribute to the great French artist Christian Boltanski, who passed away last July. We show selected editions in which various aspects of his work come to light.
The art of Christian Boltanski, who was born in Paris in 1944, is shaped by memories of the Holocaust and the reconstruction of his own past. In the cramped, half-dark spaces that he created in his installations, with the props that anonymously referred to people and their fates, the musty mountains of clothing, the stacked zinc crates and the patinated black-and-white photographs, he created an oppressive atmosphere of personal concern that was difficult to bear is. These installations have become icons of the art of memory.
He also acted subversively, because in one of his most important works, the 1200-photo installation Menschlich from 1994, he mixed portraits of the deceased victims with pictures of German soldiers and SS people, of perpetrators. As part of his exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg in 2013, Boltanski said: “I no longer know who is the perpetrator and who is the victim. It just so happens that a man can love his child and kill another child at the same time. Everyone has what it takes to turn into a devil from time to time. But even the devil sometimes takes a break.” – A commentary on the horrors of war, which has unfortunately become very topical again. Boltanski had Ukrainian roots himself, and we will miss his artistic statement in these times. The exhibition features signed photogravures and lithographs that were edited in a small edition.

Statement by Thomas Zika: “…Before taking any photographs I am pretreating my analog 4×5 inch film material with mushrooms, which pollute out their spores latently on the film sheets, creating beautiful, but chaotic lamella circles. Depending on humidity and ripeness I let this hidden process endure from hours to months. Serendipity is my friend and my enemy: the emergences of the artefacts on the film sheets are accidentally and unpredictable. The fungi segregate their spores upon the surface lying underneath originating extremely delicate lamellar aureoles appearing as a mix of explosion and aura.
Additionally I am mounting roots from dehydrated plants inside the bellows of my large format camera, which create black fotogram-like outlines to echo a „menetekel“ from the future.
I am applying this trans-dimensional experimental method within my project „sovereign fruits“. I am going to photograph in a biotope near my hometown: a creek running through a forest valley, swampland, birds. Viewed superficially everything seems OK, but over the last years the habitat has changed enormously according to the impacts of global warming.
As I am no longer able to believe in any truth embodied in journalistic documentary picture language, my artistic work results in these chaotic, but beautiful photographs, which whisper of a different thruth of their own…”
