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.

Hanakam & Schuller: CATALOGUE, part 2
In the focus of the second part of the exhibition series CATALOGUE by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schüller is the short film INVASION, which lately was awarded as “Jury Selection Work” at Japan Media Arts Festival 2012. Here is the trailer:
There is a whole body of theoretical reflection about apparatus in cinema theory that could also be passed on photography. INVASION focusses on this wondrous and magical, but also ideological machine that produces a narration about reality as well as it is narration itself.
The film will show an partly absurd, partly reconstructed equipment, whose design is following descriptions and woodcuts of the compendium “The History and Practice of the Art of Photography; or the Production of Pictures through the Agency of Light” (1849).
The scene shows various movements and settings in handling the apparatus. A male Voice Over accompanies the scene. The atmosphere is similar to the genre of Science Fiction, where the machine becomes a crucial part of the story; it turns into a character among others.

Hanakam & Schuller: CATALOGUE, part 1
Yesterday was the opening reception of the first part of the exhibition CATALOGUE by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller. Main work of this exhibition is the installation “White Cube with Sprinkles”, more than the half of the gallery floor is covered with sugar sprinkles. In addition to it two video works, one large-size drawing and two sculptures are to be seen, which all belong to the theme “TOPPINGS”. The Tartes by Hanakam & Schuller result from the artist couple’s ongoing occupation with dessert structures and toppings which they employ and explore as sculptural devices, translating the ranges of forms and color of these toppings into video animation, computer applications, objects, and occasional furniture.
