WAZ on Sign, Pattern, Ornament

Sign – Pattern – Ornament

The stronger the artistic autonomy, the more the ornament turns into an accessory part: In the 21st century this rule does not apply anymore, as trend-setting exhibitions by the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg and the Fondation Beyeler worked out, that ornament currently resurrects as the carrier of a global pictorial language. Geometric, floral and calligraphic ornaments are more than just decoration, instead they visualize classification systems, which now are critically questioned by contemporary artists. In selected works by artists of the gallery our exhibition discusses the current controversy on this topic.
Works by: Wiebke Bartsch, Marcela Böhm, Michael Goller, Simone Haack, Hanakam & Schuller, Armin Hartenstein, Bodo Korsig, Jürgen Paas, Rainer Stock, Martin Schwenk.

Simone Haack – White Shadows

In our first solo exhibition of the young painter Simone Haack from Berlin we are showing a representative cross section of her recent work, with an emphasis on her most current pieces. The scholar of Karin Kneffel impresses the audience with her evermore challenging snapshots, often dealing with children and adolescents. The line between good and evil, and the oscillation from one to the other pole creates the unique tension and atmosphere of her work.

Simone Haack – Weiße Schatten (White Shadows).

Opening Reception 21 March, 7 p.m.

Armin Hartenstein: MONTAN


Der Düsseldorfer Künstler Armin Hartenstein zeigt in der Mutter Ey-Straße 5 die Installation MONTAN. Im Zentrum erhebt sich ein aus Flächen zusammengesetztes Raumgebilde. Die zur Schaufensterseite des Galerieraumes hin geöffnete Form ist einerseits eine koloristische Setzung, andererseits kann sie als eine Art Architektur oder Landschaftsformation verstanden werden. Wie Satelliten ziehen um diese zentrale Erhebung herum mehrere Bildobjekte. Kleine verdichtete kosmische Landschaften -auch diese malerisch und dinghaft gleichermassen.
