Das kleine Spiel zwischen dem Ich und dem Mir
Kunst und Choreografie. Eine Kooperation von Kolumba und tanz.köln
14. September 2020 - 16. August 2021


»Das kleine Spiel zwischen dem Ich und dem Mir« ist eine Ausstellung mit acht Kapiteln, die sich in einer öffentlichen Aufbauphase fortlaufend verändern und zusammenfügen wird. Sie vereint Arbeiten von Künstler_innen, die herkömmliche Körperbilder einer kritischen Revision unterziehen und in verschiedenen künstlerischen Medien nach anderen Möglichkeiten der Repräsentation suchen. Die Ausstellung holt die Choreografie und den Tanz von der Bühne weg in den Aktionsraum des Museums, um die unterschiedlichen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten miteinander in Kontakt zu bringen und übergreifende Fragestellungen erlebbar zu machen.

Kapitel 4: Duane Michals, ab 8. Oktober

Die Serie "Wee suckers: Youth of Belfast" von Toby Binder wurde mit dem URBAN Photo Award 2020 in der Kategorie "URBAN Book Award" ausgezeichnet.


Toby Binders Fotoserie begleitet Teenager aus sechs unterschiedlichen protestantischen und katholischen Vierteln von Belfast und gewährt einen intimen und unmittelbaren Blick auf den Alltag einer Generation. Sie zeigt die Allgegenwart von Arbeitslosigkeit, Drogenkriminalität und Gewalt, die Jugendliche in Belfast schon heute belastet, egal, auf welcher Seite der »Peace Wall« (Friedensmauer) sie leben.

Expressionist and ​Contemporary Art Juxtaposed
Museum August Macke Haus, Bonn

March 06, 2020 — June 07, 2020

Using the numerous embroideries done by Elisabeth Macke, her mother Sophie Gerhardt, and her grandmother Katharina Koehler from drafts sketched by August Macke, our Exhibition for the first time examines embroidery in Expressionist art. Works from that epoch are brought together with significant pieces done by contemporary artists who have dedicated themselves to this special medium.

The Exhibition unites Expressionist works by Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Fifi Kreutzer, August Macke, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter, Christian Rohlfs, and Marta Worringer with contemporary pieces by Robert Abts, Walter Bruno Brix, Jochen Flinzer, Angelika Frommherz, Sylvie Hauptvogel, Claudia Kallscheuer, Gisoo Kim, Alexandra Knie, Suscha Korte, Bea Meyer, Vanessa Oppenhoff, Barbara Wrede, Andrea Ziegler.

Francesca Woodman: On Being an Angel
C/O Berlin Foundation, Berlin
March 06, 2020 — June 06, 2020 

Virtually unknown in her lifetime, Francesca Woodman today belongs to the canon of artistic photography and is recognized, along with Claude Cahun and Cindy Sherman, as one of the strong female voices in photography in the second half of the twentieth century. With On Being an Angel, C/O Berlin presents the first German exhibition of a cross-section of Francesca Woodman's work, from small-format black-and-white and rare color photographs to the late, larger-than-life works created with experimental techniques such as the diazotype. The 102 modern prints selected by the Estate of Francesca Woodman reflect all of the main creative periods in the artist’s short but intense career and are presented at C/O Berlin in dialogue with six short films by the artist.
​

The exhbition Francesca Woodman: On Being an Angel was organized by Moderna Museet, Stockholm.

Illusions of the Photographer: Duane Michales
Morgan Library & Museum, NY

October 25, 2019 — February 02, 2020

Contemplative, confessional, and comedic, the art of Duane Michals exerts an appeal that transcends the conventional audience of photography. Since the early 1960s, Michals has worked past what he sees as the limitations of the camera: he writes in the margins of his prints, creates sequences of images that explore intangible human dilemmas (doubt, mortality, desire), and derives poetic effects from technical errors such as double exposure and motion blur. Illusions of the Photographer combines a full career retrospective—the first on Michals to be organized by a New York City museum—with an artist’s-choice show, as Michals plumbs the Morgan’s vaults for treasures both revered and long-forgotten.

Michals leads viewers on a tour of his mind as he engages heroes and mentors as varied as William Blake, Edward Lear, and Saul Steinberg and matches wits with stage designers, toy-makers, and his fellow portraitists of the past and the present.

The exhibition will be accompanied by screenings of short films—Michals’ preferred medium in recent years. An audioguide narrated by the artist will compliment a wide-ranging interview in the exhibition’s catalog.

Francesca Woodman: Portrait of Reputation
Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Co

September 20, 2019 — April 05, 2020

This exhibition presents an early episode in the artistic life of American artist Francesca Woodman (1958-81). Featuring over 40 unique, vintage prints, as well as notes, letters, postcards, and other ephemera related to the artist’s burgeoning career, this exhibition details Woodman’s creative coming-of-age primarily during the years 1975-79. Introducing this material for the first time, the exhibition is drawn from the personal collection of George Lange, a long-time friend and classmate of Woodman’s at Rhode Island School of Design.

Francesca Woodman: Portrait of a Reputation details how the artist came into her creative voice and her singular approach to photography at a notably young age. This exhibition demonstrates Woodman’s virtuosity in formation—the creative impulses that yielded a distinctive voice, and also a more nuanced understanding of the context in which she worked and which is featured so prominently in her photographs from this time. Ranging from portraits in her studio/apartment in college to self-portraits in the bucolic Colorado landscape in which she was raised, these works capture Woodman’s hallmark approach to art-making: enigmatic, rigorous, and poignant, all at once. The exhibition will also include select photographs of Woodman made by George Lange during this period. Taken together,

Gisoo Kim 
Kunstverein Rasttatt e.V.

September 20, 2019 — October 06, 2019

Gisoo Kim has found her means of expression in photography. Her camera is her constant companion. Her photographs are the starting point of her work, which does not end with the individual photographs. Instead, she works on her photographs, deliberately leaving traces of her artistic intervention on the surface of the picture and expanding it with her embroideries. She assembles individual photographs or sections into collages, sews them together and adds a new layer to yours.

Gisoo Kim creates new spaces that would not exist in this way and replace the space initially seen. The embroideries expand the space, are in a mythological, surreal dialogue with photography. 

In the current exhibition she shows some of her works.

Kein Ort Zuhause - Gemälde von Yury Kharchenko
Felix-Nussbaum-Haus, Osnabrück

19.8. - 17.11.2018

Fließend bewegen sich die Gemälde von Yury Kharchenko zwischen Abstraktion und Gegenständlichkeit. Sie sind Auseinandersetzung mit Geschichte und der eigenen Identität, die durch seine russisch-jüdischen Wurzeln geprägt ist. Mit dieser Ausstellung widmet das Museumsquartier Osnabrück dem Künstler eine Einzelausstellung im Felix-Nussbaum-Haus, in der vor allem Gemälde aus den Werkzyklen der Haus- und Fensterbilder gezeigt werden. Das Haus als Schutz- und Rückzugsort ist in den Arbeiten von Kharchenko ein Symbol von Identität und Heimat und seiner persönlichen Suche danach − Themen, mit denen sich auch Felix Nussbaum künstlerisch auseinandergesetzt hat.

Öffnungszeiten bis 18. November 2018: Di bis Fr, 11-18 Uhr; Sa/So, 10-18 Uhr; 1. Do im Monat, 11-20 Uhr
Duane Michals: The Portraitist
The Crocker Museum of Art, Sacramento, CA

September 16, 2018 — January 06, 2019

Duane Michals: The Portraitist presents the first comprehensive overview of inventive portraits by this influential photographer who, in the 1960s, broke away from established traditions of documentary and fine-art photography and is still creating original work today. Michals is widely recognized for his eye-catching portraits of actors, artists, musicians, writers, and other public figures. Striving to articulate his own distinct style and vision while distinguishing each subject’s individual personality, the artist empowers his sitters to express themselves in their own environments and through improvisation. The exhibition spans nearly six decades, featuring more than 125 portraits collectively highlighting the artist’s expansive toolkit — sequenced images, multiple exposures, reflections, uncommon vantage points, collage, hand-painting, and other techniques.

Duane Michals: The Portraitist is curated by Linda Benedict-Jones and the traveling exhibition is organized by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions, Pasadena, California.

  Andrej Krementschouk aka. Ananij Kokurin
@ Globale Literaturfestival


Andrej Krementschouk stellt auf dem Globale Literaturfestival in Bremen sein unter dem Pseudonym Ananij Kokurin veröffentlichtes Buch "Der Tisch" vor.
Dieses ist bereits in der 2. Auflage erschienen.

1986 entschließt sich Anna Regolskaja, ihre Mutter Maria bei sich aufzunehmen. Das Elternhaus ist bereits verkauft und Maria scheint nur ein paar persönliche Dinge mitnehmen zu wollen. Doch dann überrascht sie ihre Tochter mit dem Entschluss, die Reise nicht ohne ihren mächtigen Esstisch anzutreten. Und sie erzählt die Geschichte ihres Tisches als die ihres Lebens. Eine deutsch-russische Geschichte, in der die Konturen zwischen Opfer und Täter verschwinden.
Moderation: Ina Schenker

Yury Kharchenko: Von Herschel Grynszpan über Simon Wiesenthal zu Amy Winehouse
@ NS-Documentation Center, Cologne
July 13 to September 02, 2018

In his work, Yury Kharchenko reflects on the Jewish identity of his family. His history became a key issue of his aesthetic selfdiscovery. He researched the works of Jewish artists and poets and delved into questions of theology.
From July 13 to September 2, 2018, a special exhibition will run at the NS-Documentation Center Cologne, where Yury Kharchenko will present a series of portraits of Jewish artists and intellectuals of contemporary history, including the painter Felix Nussbaum, the publicist Simon Wiesenthal, and the singer Amy Winehouse. In his cycle 'Houses', he links the question of identity with the house as a symbol of protection and security.

Life in Motion Francesca Woodman/Egon Schiele
@ Tate Liverpool
May 24 to September 23, 2018

Tate Liverpool showcases the works of his radical protégé, Egon Schiele, alongside the sublime photography of Francesca Woodman.
Both artists are known for their intimate and unapologetic portraits, which look beneath the surface to capture their subjects’ emotions. Schiele’s (1890–1918) drawings are strikingly raw and direct. He had a distinctive style using quick marks and sharp lines to portray the energy of his models. Woodman used long exposures to create blurred images that captured extended moments in time. Her photographs can be surreal, humorous and at times painfully honest.    
The close encounter between these two exceptional artists offers an intense viewing experience and a new perspective on their personal and powerful works.

Duane Michals Retrospective
@ Museo Ettore Fico, Turin, Italy
May 4 to July 29, 2018

Duane Michals Retrospective, developed in collaboration with Fundación Mapfre in Madrid, is dedicated to Duane Michals' work. The exhibition is displayed along a path divided in various sections showing the different expressive modalities Michals gradually invented, as well as the different series he created on specific topics overtime. 
Showing the photographies of Duane Michals, the exhibition presents one of the contemporary photographers who reinvented the photographic language with the greatest intensity. An artist between photography and poetry, Michals is one of the most prestigious names of American avantgarde. In the 1960s, he shapes a new approach to photography which doesn't pretend to record accomplished facts, but rather deals with the metaphysical aspects of life.

Alexander Chekmenev participating in 
"PERMANENT REVOLUTION. UKRAINIAN ART TODAY"

@ Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Arts
Budapest, Hungary
April 6 to June 24, 2018

“Permanent Revolution” is an exhibition of Ukrainian contemporary art featuring the works of several generations. It is the first large-scale presentation of contemporary Ukrainian art in Hungary and a rare occasion to explore an extremely vibrant art scene of the country which to a great degree still remains a blind spot on the cultural map of Europe.
Alexander Chekmenev is participating in this group exhibition with his series "Passports". After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it became necessary in the newly independent Ukraine to replace old Soviet passports with the new Ukrainian ones. Acting as one of the photographers commissioned by the social services to go door to door during this national passportisation campaign, Alexander Chekmenev portrays the circumstances of Ukrainian citizens in 1994.

KUNST & KOHLE: Vom Auf-und Abstieg
5 may - 16 september 2018

"Das schwarze Gold" - Seit 250 Jahren prägt der Kohleabbau das Gesicht des Ruhrgebiets, insbesondere das Selbstverständnis seiner Bewohner/Innen und die Entstehung seiner einmaligen Kunst- und Kulturlandschaft. Nun endet eine Ära von über 250 Jahren Industriegeschichte, denn in diesem Jahr stellt das letzte deutsche Steinkohlebergwerk seine Förderung ein.

Ausstellende Künstler sind Olaf Metzel, Clemens Botho Goldbach und der ukrainische Fotograf Alexander Chekmenev, der sich mit den Menschen im Kohleabbaugebiet der Donbass-Region (Ukraine) beschäftigt.
Nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion wurden über die Hälfte der Minen geschlossen. Er dokumentiert in seiner fotografischen Arbeit auf beeindruckende und berührende Weise das Leben der dortigen Kohlearbeiter und verbildlicht drastisch die Härte der dortigen Lebensumstände.

Yury Kharchenko Soloexhibition "VISIBILITY"
@ Stiftung Starke Gemeinnützige Kunststiftung
June 2 - 30, 2017

"Yury Kharchenko's painting makes you forget that there was pop art and postmoderne. His pictures are completely free of cynicism and they are not second hand pictures. His painting is not that of an epigones. They are focused on the formal and emotional possibilities of painting. They are both objectless - pure visual phenomena such as sounds - as well as representational - they show simple forms such as the houses that form the backbone of his cycle, or silhouettes of figures hidden in the thicket and scrub of the dark frameworks of his picture spaces. The images of Yury Kharchenko are attractive in their materiality and color feeling, they stimulate the senses and thus awaken strong feelings in the viewer " Kharchenko's painting is at the center of the exhibition at the Starke Foundation in the Lion Palace in Berlin Grunewald. Shown are picture cycles of different sizes from 2006 to 2017.

Yury Kharchenko participating in "LUTHER AND THE AVANT-GARDE"
Contemporary Art in Wittenberg, Berlin, and Kassel
May 19 to September 17, 2017

International contemporary art meets the spiritual figure of Luther— this is the starting point for the exhibition Luther and the Avant-garde, presented from May 19 to September 17, 2017 by the Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur (Foundation for Art and Culture), Bonn, in cooperation with Reformationsjubiläum 2017 e.V. The historic prison in Wittenberg will serve as a central exhibition venue and is being renovated and opened to the public on the occasion of the exhibition. Some 60 international artists have been invited to address the inspiring ideas of the Reformation, which have not lost their currency today. The exhibition will include works by i.a. Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Olafur Eliasson, Ayse Erkmen, Isa Genzken, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Gunther Uecker, Ai Weiwei, Erwin Wurm, and Zhang Peili. Yury Kharchenko is one of the youngest participants of this show. Congratulations!

Francesca Woodman: On Being an Angel
@La Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paris
11 May - 26 July 2016

Bild
Bild
The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson is pleased to be presenting the dazzling work of American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958–1981). Rooted in constant exploration of herself and the medium, Woodman’s insightful, deeply intimate approach turned her photography into a second skin. In her images she made almost exclusive use of her own body: It’s a matter of convenience, she explained, I’m always available. Despite her premature passing at the age of twenty-two, Woodman left an impressive body of work. And while the pictures betray a host of influences ranging from Symbolism to Surrealism, her own talent was as prodigious as it was precocious.
The exhibition including a hundred prints, video and documents has been organized in collaboration with the Estate of Francesca Woodman in New York and Anna Tellgren, the curator. After the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and FOAM in Amsterdam, the European tour of the exhibition will end up at the Moderna Museet in Malmö.

Yury Kharchenko: Wege des Unsichtbaren @Jüdisches Museum Westfalen
24 May 2016 - 21 August 2016

Opening: 22 May 2016,  11 am

The images of Yury Kharchenko are very sensual in their materiality and their sense of color. They stimulate the senses and arouse strong feelings in the viewer. Their strong colors take us on a journey into seemingly magical worlds. This effect is achieved not only by applying the paint with a brush, but also by pouring and flowing paint. Complex layers of paint and repainting forms an almost enigmatic depth.

Dr. Norbert Reichling (Museums Director)

Jan Fabre´s 24-hour marathon performance „Mount Olympus“
@Wiener Festwochen
21 May, 7.30 p.m. till 22 May, 7.30 p.m. (24 hours), Halle E im MuseumsQuartier, Wien

Bild

Jan Fabre’s Mount Olympus is a stage event of superlatives. It shows what real avant-garde is like: not an experiment in watching, but an evaluation of the half-life of ideological dogmas and artistic clichés. And here it is, the beautiful era of Greek antiquity: 24 hours of Herculean exploits done travesty-style, with ferocity, incest, infanticide and matricide, animal and human sacrifices – and not a smidgen of divine heroism: that’s only a sham. Incessantly, the performers execute grand jetés while circling new batches of victims of ancient Greek battles.
Mount Olympus is also a paraphrase of the celebrated Living Theatre’s Paradise Now. Jan Fabre not merely reaches out to 1960s avant-garde and its demand for liberty: he goes even further and shows what will happen when people are seized by the idea of unfettered freedom. His performance is permanent change: tolerance becomes intolerance, machismo is transmuted into feminism, political correctness turns into xenophobia – a total revolution that breaks down all boundaries and leaves new clichés, “user-friendly” systems, slogans and catchphrases far behind. Jan Fabre’s grandiose anti-utopia, a slaughter party with food, drink and sleep, is one of the most utopian projects.

Memory and Continuity
A Selection from the Huma Kabakcı Collection
24 February - 01 May 2016

Collecting works of art in a conscious and systematic manner dates as far back as the Hellenistic era… Having undergone various changes and transformations throughout the different stages of both the history of civilization and art, collecting inherently brings to mind a number of different concepts, passion, the urge to possess, prestige, aesthetic concern, and ideology. In the history of collecting, all these concepts compete against one another to forge ahead…
The Huma Kabakcı Collection, which Nahit Kabakcı began to put together as of the 1980s, can be considered as one of the most important examples of the limited number of consciously created and well-sustained collections in Turkey. While based on certain logic, development, and subjectivity of the Huma Kabakcı Collection, the exhibition co-curated by Huma Kabakcı and Esra Aliçavuşoğlu also aims to illustrate the collection’s periodically renewed and expanded structure through a certain art historical objectivity. Preserved and upheld by two consecutive generations, the collection’s affiliated and divergent points were brought to fore and the exhibition is shaped in this thematic manner. Apart from highlighting the contributions two different generations made to the collection, this particular selection also seeks to underline the inner consistence and transformation of its entirety.

Oskar Schmidt, Liquid, 2015 @Fotomuseum Winterthur SITUATION #31

6. February – 3. April 2016
Bild

Large quantities of pre-made, finely polished studio portraits and high-gloss product shots are available on the Internet for (free) use through digital image databases and stock photography agencies. These types of authorless photographs are mainly used by editors and agencies as starting material for other imaging processes and are tailored to meet different needs. Oskar Schmidt’s photo objects are created as a clear reference to this photographed or animated imagery. The artist makes use of the rhetoric and aesthetics of everyday photography, transforming them into a clear artistic statement. By copying the variables of production and distribution almost down to the end product and only then investing it with a complex aura, a space for interpretation opens up to viewers that hold more than one “photographic” truth.

"On 10 April 2015 Fotomuseum Winterthur launched a new exhibition format titled SITUATIONS, which allows us to react more quickly to developments within photographic culture. The role of SITUATIONS is to define Fotomuseum Winterthur’s vision of what photography is becoming, at the same time offering an innovative integration of physical exhibition space and virtual forum. Using tags and clusters as a mode of curatorial classification the aim is to integrate the real and the virtual in relation to exhibition in a new way."
