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.

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.

“Unter die Haut” und Wundertüte 2013
Unsere Ausstellung setzt aktuelle Positionen der Malerei in Kontrast und Bezug. Die Haut als Gegenstand der Malerei bedeutete für die Künstler aller Epochen eine besondere Herausforderung. “Das Tiefste, das ist die Haut”, hat es Paul Valery formuliert, und im Kontext der Malerei ist mit diesem Paradoxon nicht nur der besondere Anspruch einer naturgetreuen Widergabe der Haut gemeint, sondern auch ihre Eigenschaft als Projektionsfläche verschiedenster Charakteristika der gemalten Person: Jugend und Alter, Lust und Leid, Härte und Verletzlichkeit, Anspannung und Gleichmut etc. – Die menschliche Oberfläche spricht stets von dem, was darunter liegt. Und jenseits der Abbildhaftigkeit spielt die Haut bei den vorgestellten Positionen unserer Ausstellung auch eine wichtige Rolle in der Reflexion der malerischen Mittel: Insofern ein Thema der Malerei, was eine nähere Betrachtung lohnt.
Beteiligte Künstler und Künstlerinnen: Simone Haack, Marcela Böhm, Anja Schreiber, Andreas Titzrath, Wiebke Bartsch.
Am gleichen Abend eröffnen wir auch die Aktion “WUNDERTÜTE – Die Kunst in Tüten”. Seit mehr als 10 Jahren füllen alljährlich 20 Künstler der Galerie jeweils 20 Tüten mit ihrer Kunst. Was sich in den namentlich gekennzeichneten Tüten befindet, ob Malerei, Skulptur, Fotografie, Objekt oder Multiple, das erfahren Sie erst beim Kauf. Zur Eröffnung am 15. November spricht die WDR-Moderatorin Martina Esser. In diesem Jahr wird die „Wundertüte“ mit einer Spendenaktion zugunsten des Förderturm- Ideen für Essener Kinder e.V. verknüpft: 2€ pro verkaufter Tüte gehen an den Förderturm.
Hier können Sie Wundertüten online bestellen…
