Exhibition
Online since 6 July 2008

The "Fantastic Nobodies" was born in 2003 out of total disillusionment, when the White House increasingly employed Fascist-esque irrational propaganda and media coverage of the war in Iraq resembled B-slasher flicks. In midst of this political zeitgeist, the six founding artists Marc Grubstein, Brock Enright, Steve Johnson, Daniel Joseph, Chad Spicer and David Henry Brown Jr. collaborated to form the "Fantastic Nobodies".

Based in Düsseldorf, Dietmar Lutz is best known for his large-scale paintings combining his own experiences walking through the streets of a city as urban "flaneur", combined almost subliminally with references to movies or literature. Having spent time in Geneva in summer 2007 Lutz has made a remarkable body of paintings recalling time spent in the city and its environs, and posing questions about the process of painting itself.

Online since 4 July 2008

Images are built out of complex processes of engagement and use, made particularly visible through the impact of new technologies as they change attitudes towards surveillance, information gathering, pornography, celebrity and so on. This exhibition examines the systems that affect such change. The artists taking part can be compared to the embedded news reporter, in that they are working from within the processes of image manufacture. From this position, the work exhibited is able to provide revelatory and expansive commentary on the structures that bring images into being. Read more...

Erik Niedling - Formation

Hamish Morrison Galerie

Heidestrasse 46-52
10557 Berlin
Exhibition
Online since 1 July 2008

This first solo exhibition by artist Erik Niedling (*1973 Erfurt) in Berlin shows a new series of photographies titled "FORMATION".

The show includes images from numbered cacti species including their roots, tools of unclear purpose arranged by size, plants with delicate root patterns or anonymous hands holding plants in front of the camera. A large scale image shows women at a work table who appear to be sorting something. The table is located in the centre of a hall, the right wall of which is covered by an archival cupboard with small drawers. A special technique results in all images having the appearance of negatives whose sharp black and white contrasts are partially complemented by mysterious red or violet hues. Read more...
