CLOSENESS – exhibition project

The current omnipresent demands for social distance lead to a lack of contact and physical closeness in our everyday life. As a result, works of art come into focus that seem to deal directly with one’s own body and that of the other. The (naked) body and its surface, the skin, are the preferred subject of this work. They understand the body boundary as a barrier but also as a contact zone between inside and outside. You go in search of closeness between friends and strangers, between family members, between couples, but also for closeness to yourself. The exhibited works of art show an awareness that the supposed directness of the body is always mediated. Video, photography and performance as well as drawing and painting, as artistic media, guide the way in which we create and experience closeness and distance. The exhibition series deals with these ambivalences.

“In this companion to 2006’s Painting People, art critic Charlotte Mullins explores the latest wave of figurative art in the contemporary marketplace, both celebrating individual artists and contemplating why figuration has become popular yet again. […] Figurative art is a broad subject, but Mullins’s astute overview pairs powerfully with the selected images, offering a perceptive argument for the enduring range and power of figuration into the 21st century.”

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:

Am letzten Freitag hat die Eroeffnung zur diesjaehrigen neunten Edition der “Wundertüte – Die Kunst in Tüten” stattgefunden. Wir freuen uns sehr über die erneute riesige Resonanz: Mehr als Hundert Besucher waren anwesend, und zwischenzeitlich ist mehr als die Hälfte der 600 Wundertüten schon verkauft. Aber keine Sorge, wer noch ein Nikolaus- oder Weihnachtsgeschenk sucht, oder Kunstwundertüten einfach nur für sich haben will, wird immer noch fündig: Bis auf ganz wenige Künstlerinnen und Künstler sind von allen Teilnehmern noch Tüten zu haben. – Bei uns in der Galerie oder auf

“Meet the artists” in Frankfurt

Robin Horsch, Julia Willms, Eberhard Ross, Marcela Böhm (liegend) Dieter Kränzlein, Juri Czyborra, David Alcántara

Am zurückliegenden Samstag und Sonntag waren wir mit einigen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern der Galerie zu einem Teamwochenende in Frankfurt am Main. Dabei waren David Alcántara, Marcela Böhm, Robin Horsch, Dieter Kränzlein, Eberhard Ross und Julia Willms. Das Ziel war ein gegenseitiger Austausch über die anstehenden Projekte, und ein Brainstorming zu Ideen, die zukünftige Projekte betreffen.

Mit freundlicher Unterstützung des Steigenberger Metropolitan logierten wir sehr bequem, und konnten dort in Ruhe unsere Besprechungen führen. Zum Essen und Äppelwoi ging es ins “Atschel”, typische Frankfurter Küche mit feiernden HSV-Fans, einem “Rippchen”, das eher an eine Elefantenrippe erinnerte, und zwei Bembel Wartezeit… War aber lecker!

Am Sonntag trafen wir uns dann mit einigen Freunden der Galerie aus der Frankfurter Gegend im Fleming’s Deluxe zum Brunch. Hoch über den Dächern von Frankfurt mit Blick auf die Skyline hatten wir einen regen Austausch und eine sehr angenehme Atmosphäre.

Art Karlsruhe zu Ende gegangen

schild

Die Art Karlsruhe ist am Sonntag zu Ende gegangen – für uns sehr erfolgreich. Unsere Galerie konnte Arbeiten von Robin Horsch, Dieter Kränzlein, Eberhard Ross und Shinichi Tsuchiya veräußern, und auch einige Optionen für das Nachgeschäft sind schon getätigt worden. Die Stimmung auf der Messe war auch bei den meisten Kollegen sehr gut, wenngleich die Geschäfte in den Vorjahren wohl noch etwas einfacher waren… Hier einige Impressionen von unserem Stand:
