COLLECTOR’S LOUNGE – Selection 2023 TILL AUGUSTIN, MARCELA BÖHM, JÜRGEN JANSEN, SANDER REIJGERS, JÜRGEN PAAS DIRK SALZ, ANNETTE SAUERMANN, VIOLETTA SELIGER, PETRA DETA WEIDEMANN
June 10 – July 8, 2023
Opening Friday, June 9, 2023, 7 p.m
In recent years it has become a rule: once a year we present the Collector’s Lounge, with which we give an insight into past and future exhibition projects of the gallery. We show outstanding works by artists of the gallery, but also new things that caught our eye at exhibitions or at the recent art fairs. With Annette Sauermann, Violetta Seliger and Petra Deta Weidemann, there are three new names in our portfolio this year.
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 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. Sabine Kampmann (Kurator)

“My paintings include things, which contradict the motivic logic. This irritation is important for me, because life is like this. You always find disruptions in reality, magical or lyrical moments in everyday life, when you don’t understand anything and nothing fits together. But in the end everything joins to build a wonderful new scenery.” Marcela Böhm
“That we togehter with the painter are left between dream and nightmare establishes the quality of her painting. The familiar becomes alien and treacherous, the everyday turns unfamiliar and threatening. …Read this way, Marcela Böhm’s painting is in its beauty as well as its abrupt, occasionally brutal disruption a continuous battle for security, for pictures through which we can confirm our history and our self.” (Martin Engler).

German-Argentinian painter Marcela Böhm has become popular with her society and people scenes. With her individual style she characterized people of her direct surroundings in unconventional situations. Now she has turned her hand to the city theme, herself born in megacity Buenos Ayres. She does not show us panoramas in the literal sense of the word, since she blocks out the town’s landmarks, and chooses the backsides of the skylines as her subject, in contrast to the sky and the clouds. Hermetic, almost windowless facades with antennas and satelite dishes agglomerate sculpturally in front of the horizon. One will not believe that people live here, nothing individual like a balcony plant or a flower curtain would prove this.
But we also have the paintings with party scenes and people inside the urban interieur. Böhm is showing a patchwork of urban fragments, and the viewer can put together the pieces for his own image of city. In adaption of a verse by Jose Luis Borges one could say from the point of view of the artist: “The city in me is like a painting that I could not hold with brush strokes.“

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.
