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:

Pressemeldung Peter Schlör | Press release Peter Schlör
Vom 29. Mai bis 3. Juli zeigt die Galerie unter dem Titel “Deep Black / Bright White” neue Arbeiten des Mannheimer Fotografen Peter Schlör. Von Anfang an hat Schlör stets in schwarzweiß gearbeitet, und kein Begriffspaar ist zur Charakterisierung seiner Kunst besser geeignet als dieses. Nach unserer letzten Ausstellung in 2007, die sich ausschließlich mit seinen frühen Arbeiten auseinandersetzte, zeigen wir nun bis 3. Juli 2010 neue Fotoarbeiten aus den Themenfeldern “Sky”, “Mountain” und “Winter”. Hier werden Anklänge an die Konzeption der romantischen Landschaftsmalerei besonders augenfällig.
May 29 to July 3 the gallery shows new works of the Mannheim photographer Peter Schlör. From the beginning Schlör worked in black and white, and no other term is better in describing his art than the exhibition title “Deep Black / Bright White”. After our latest exhibition in 2007 featuring his early works we currently show new works from the topics “Sky”, “Mountain” and “Winter”. Echoes of the concept of romantic landscape painting are very significant here.

Pressemeldung zu Marcela Böhm | Press Release Marcela Böhm
Die argentinische Malerin Marcela Böhm steht im Mittelpunkt der Ausstellung, die bei GAM Obrist Gingold Galerie anlässlich des zehnjährigen Galeriejubiläums zu sehen ist. Mit dieser Einzelausstellung erscheint erstmals ein umfangreiches Buch zu ihrem Werk, das zur Vernissage vorgestellt wird.
Marcela Böhm ist eine der avanciertesten Künstlerinnen der jüngsten Zeit. In ihren Bildern erzählt sie mit ihrer überzeichnenden Bildsprache Geschichten aus unserem Alltag. Die Kommunikation und Interaktion zwischen den dargestellten Personen wird dabei pointiert aufgezeichnet. Bei allem Erfolg scheut sie sich nicht, auch Sprödes und Unzugängliches mit ihrer Kunst zu berühren. So schreibt in dem jetzt erscheinenden Buch Martin Engler, Kurator für die Kunst des 20./21. Jahrhunderts am Städelmuseum Frankfurt: “Die Malerei Marcela Böhms ist … in ihrer Schönheit ebenso wie in ihren abrupten, teils brutalen Brüchen, ein beständiger Kampf um Sichtbarkeit.”
Vorab zeigt die Galerie Arbeiten von Marcela Böhm auch auf der Art Karlsruhe (4.-7. März) mit einer One-Artist-Show.
PRESSEMELDUNG (openPR)
The Argentian painter Marcela Böhm is in the focus of the exhibition, which GAM Obrist Gingold Galerie will show in celebration of the gallery’s 10th anniversary. On the occasion of the opening reception an extensive book about her work will be published.
Marcela Böhm is actually one of the most interesting artists. In her paintings she tells stories from our everyday life in her special overdrawing manner. The communication and interaction between the depicted people is trenchantly recorded. Regardless of her success she is not afraid of touching awkward issues in her art. Thus Martin Engler, curator of 20th/21st century art at the Städelmuseum Frankfurt, writes in the forthcoming book: “Marcela Böhm’s painting is in its beauty as well as in its abrupt, occasionally brutal disruption a continuous battle for visibility.”
Ahead of the exhibition we show works of Marcela Böhm in an One-Artist-Show at the Art Karlsruhe (4-7 March).
