Why don’t they eat cake?, Marion Bösen & Anja Fussbach, Performance

Beside their own positions, in this exhibition, the artists are presenting tarts and cakes who wear the portraits of their artist friends and serve them in their cake performance.

In Prison For Beeing Vicious, Veronika Schumacher

Veronika Schumacher works with Pop strategies. She´s transforming sujets and images from pulp fiction novels, comics, museum catalogues and popular science books into her drawing work. The artist is creating an iconographic growth of pictures, that captures over the classical borders of defined artwork on ornamental wallpapers, the gallery rooms.


Christian Haake – Less Mess

08. 09. – 02. 10. 2007

Less mess, Christian Haake, Miniature

In miniature installations of spaces, interieurs and processes which consciously deviate in their measurements slightly from realism, the artist creates a detailed image of objects that distinguish our remembrance of things. Christian Nils Haake does not use any corrective measurement or copy for the creation of his miniatures, he builds them purely by his memories. The exhibition presents a new title giving work, a small sized, detailed installation of a messy living room.

Sabine Wewer – Pearls That Were His Eyes

29.6 – 20.7.2007
Exhibition opening with performance by the artist

Pearls that were his eyes, Sabine Wewer, Performance

The works of the artist Sabine Wewer form in her painterly technique of Wu Wei, the conscious reduction of their gesture, a poetic difference from the real, by approaching parallel pictorial spaces that can correspond to cognitive dream images. For the exhibition in Berlin, the artist realizes a performance that works with her language, the texture of her body and its covering.


Henrik Jacob & Andreas Kotulla – Ming

12.05. – 02.6.2007
Exhibition opening with a multi-part performance by the artists.

Ming Gallery, Henrik Jakob, Kneading Painting

The exhibition Ming shows a collaboration based on the mutual offer of exchanging technology and subject. Henrik Jacob, known for his kneading paintings, which put aside the eternity character of painting, Andreas Kotulla, who perforates the thin border of painting in his drawings, have created a series of Mingvases whose sensitive malleable materiality, through their changeability, examines both the pictorial nature of the thing and the image itself.
