Com & Com (Gossolt/Hedinger) / Andrea Loux - Neue Arbeiten

Centrik Isler — Fri, 16 May 2008 22:08:06 +0200

In der aktuellen Ausstellung werden zwei Werkgruppen gegenüber gestellt, die auf den ersten Blick sehr unterschiedlich daherkommen. Einerseits sind da die zum Teil mit grellen Farben gemalten Ayrylbilder von Com & Com (Gossolt/Hedinger), andererseits die in eher verhaltenen Farben gehaltenen Papierarbeiten von Andrea Loux. Bei beiden Werkgruppen handelt es sich jedoch um einen Medientransfer. Spannend wird die Betrachtung der Arbeiten, wenn man die Geschichten Andrea Loux’ und die abstrakten Farbwolken von Com & Com interagieren lässt.

Athanasios Argianas / Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz - Normal Work

Centrik Isler — Fri, 16 May 2008 14:42:25 +0200

ARQUEBUSE presents a solo exhibition by Athanasios Argianas following the success of his recent exhibitions at The Breeder in Athens, and Max Wigram Gallery in London. Three new sculptural "machine" artworks will be included, as well as a selection of new marker-pen drawings, all rotating around ideas inherent in the Möbius strip, a surface with only one side and edge, discovered in 1858.

In the basement project space, the installation "Normal Work" by Pauline Boudry in collaboration with Renate Lorenz will be on view.

Barbara Petzold - Waldstücke

Centrik Isler — Fri, 16 May 2008 12:52:02 +0200

"Waldstücke" (Forest Pieces or also Pieces of Woodland) is the title of Barbara Petzold's second solo exhibition in our gallery. In her most recent works the Düsseldorf artist is engaged in investigating the pictorial space of nature. Again, the focus is upon ephemeral light reflexes, which, in contrast to previous works, do not appear in hazy settings - rooms, street corners, or bars - but rather in the forest, in a clearing or a chaparral. Here, a mysterious effect is created not so much due to the indefinable quality of the depicted situation, but rather due to the strangeness of the pictorial elements and composition.

Hannu Karjalainen / Lovisa Ringborg

Centrik Isler — Tue, 13 May 2008 23:09:31 +0200

Rotwand is very proud to present two young Nordic artists. Via the media of photography and video, the Finn Hannu Karjalainen and the Swede Lovisa Ringborg examine the boundaries between reality and fiction. When and how does illusion become reality and when does the construction of fiction begin? In their work both Karjalainen and Ringborg take up very decidedly the subject of painting and transform it into the medium of video or photography.

Iris Kettner

Centrik Isler — Tue, 13 May 2008 21:09:11 +0200

At first glance, Iris Kettner's life-size figurative sculptures appear to represent familiar-seeming, often humble figures of urban life. Shaped from tattered old clothes wrapped around wooden structures with adhesive tape and dressed in fragments of used clothes, these figures project a sense of inconspicuousness and anonymity, an impression only reinforced by their covered heads and masked faces. On closer inspection, however, the impression of familiarity is replaced by one of confusion: Kettner is not simply interested in staging figurative sculptures as those average types that are mostly overlooked.

Irene Weingartner - Signale

Centrik Isler — Mon, 12 May 2008 17:36:19 +0200

Die Ballung und Häufung von Punkten, Linien und Achsen der Zeichnungen Irene Weingartner's lassen an die Ästhetik verformungsgerechter Bauaufnahmen denken. Bei diesen werden Raster und Punkte gesetzt, um alte verformte Bauten auszumessen. Verglichen mit diesem Verfahren machen die Zeichnungen anstelle eines aufgezeichneten architektonischen Raumes einen Körperraum lesbar.
