durch – Jáchym Fleig / Armin Hartenstein

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.

The shape of an “empty frame“ is spread out across the middle of the gallery. Through Armin Hartenstein’s “cutout“ a wide landscape in the form of an earthwork-like red-ocher framework comes into view. Now, a discourse between associative seeing (and thinking) about the morphology of landscape and images develops in the current exhibition in our gallery. The left part of the space is dominated by three large-scale works: “cutout“, “TQ“ and “Tondo“. On the right spans a sequence of image objects, reliefs, paintings, photography and drawings. Readable from left as well as right mainly current works connect with older ones to become an open “narrative form“. (Leit)-Motifs are, among others, the construction, structure and emergence of new image spaces from abstract surfaces as well as the grain of wood in its actual and figurative form.

In September the gallery will show new image objects and installations by Armin Hartenstein. In addition to pictorial objects reminiscent of landscape painting we will show current architectural-related works in which surface and space, depth and emptiness build an exciting balance. The work “Cutout“, a large image surface which one can pass through, was specifically developed for our gallery space.
On 29 September at 7p.m. we will host an artist talk with Prof. Dr. Georg Imdahl.

Double Exhibition with Armin Hartenstein and Martin Schwenk

The focus of our double exhibition is the dialogue between painting and sculpture: The pictures of Armin Hartenstein meet the plastic works of Martin Schwenk. The Dusseldorf based artists are comparable in their metaphorical view on landscape and nature. Their works are manifests of the unfinished, visualizing the process of its formation. With this exhibition the gallery enables entry to two very independent and outstanding positions in current art.

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.

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.

Art Karlsruhe 2013

10 years of Art Karlsruhe, and for the 10th time Obrist Gallery will be participating! Over this period the fair has become one of the most important artfairs in the German-speaking world: Congratulations to the administration of the fair!
This year the gallery has moved to hall 2. With its emphasis on current contemporary positions this hall provides us with the best context. We are proud to present work of the following artists:
MARCELA BÖHM (One Artist Show) – After her outstanding solo exhibition at the gallery we show for the first time in Karlsruhe a One Artist Show of the Argentinian Painter.
DIETER KRÄNZLEIN – For years new stone works by Dieter Kränzlein belong to the highlights of our booth and the Art Karlsruhe.
JÜRGEN PAAS – The idea of color archives accompanies Jürgen Paas in his space installations, as well as in his paper and book works. With „Popplanet“ Paas just published a big monography, which we will present at our booth in Karlsruhe.
MARTIN SCHWENK – His solo exhibition at Museum Haus Lange Krefeld 2012 proved impressively, that Schwenk is amongst the most important sculptors in Germany. (Starting June 2013 exhibition of Martin Schwenk at Museum im Prediger, Schwäbisch-Gmünd.)
Moreover at our booth you can have a closer look at the works of Düsseldorf painter ARMIN HARTENSTEIN, at wooden sculptures by Mülheim-based ROBIN HORSCH and at works from the series „Black and Wide“ by Mannheim photographer PETER SCHLÖR.

Armin Hartenstein – Havary

Following our recent Martin Schwenk exhibition, with Armin Hartenstein we present another highly topical sculptor position, despite the fact, that Hartenstein assesses himself as a painter. But this description falls too short: The large-format works take a look at a rock formation in a very sculpural way. The rock formation is separated from its environment, the outline of the work is identical to the shape of the rock formation, the picture carrier is three-dimensional in different directions. And even the manner of painting gives the illusion of three-dimensionality.
In his series “Mes Amis de Emmanuel Bove” he deforms small found fragments of plywood, cardboard, linoleum, plastic and other materials, breaks pieces off, adds others. At the same times he paints and draws landscapes onto the workpiece, which is accomplished in an open dialogue between painting and sculptoring. In this middle position Armin Hartenstein permanently questions the essentials of both art forms.
