groundless - Street View
48Stunden NK, KIEZKAPELLE, Hermannstraße 102, 12051 Berlin
Fr., 28.06.2024, 19:00 – So., 30.06.2024, 19:00

Die Ausstellung "Street View" zeigt die Stadt im Sinne ihrer Alltäglichkeit. Ereignisse oder Objekte, die banal und repetitiv erscheinen, dass sie in den Hintergrund unseres Bewusstseins als ruhig verblassen. Wie eine Warteschlange, Behörden in einer Arbeitspause, Treppen, die Wohnungen miteinander verbinden, ein Schlagloch in einem Gully. Und doch scheint es so viel mehr zu sein: Wann lohnt es sich, in einer Schlange zu warten? Gibt es eine Behörde über der Behörde? Ist das Treppenhaus privater oder öffentlicher Raum? Sind Löcher die Angst vor dem Unbekannten? Diese Straßenansichten, die wir eingefangen haben, sind die Routinen, die sich selbst wiederholenden Muster eines Mechanismus unter der größeren Harmonie, einem scheinbar universalisierten Naturgesetz, in dem alles so war, wie es immer war und immer sein wird.
Dabei vergessen wir, dass ein und dieselbe Ansicht eine andere Bedeutung haben kann. Die Ausstellung "Street View" regt die Menschen dazu an, den gewöhnlichen Blick auf die Stadt mit einer Ausstellungsstruktur zu betrachten, die mit temporärem Baustellenmaterial gebaut wurde, um die von uns aufgeworfenen Fragen in eine erfundene Baustellenszene einzutauchen.
PAR(I)TY WITH US – Die 10 Millionen Euro Ausstellung
aquabitArt Galerie, Auguststrasse 35, 10119 Berlin-Mitte
24. April 2024 – 4. Mai 2024
Kuartiert von Sarah Maske, Nina Marlene Kraus, Irina Ilieva
Berlin, 7. April 2024 – Das Verhältnis von Frauen zu Männern im Kunstbetrieb steht im Fokus einer Ausstellung in der aquabitArt Gallery. Unter dem Titel PAR(I)TY WITH US wird eine einzigartige Plattform geschaffen, um die Ungleichheiten im Kunstmarkt herauszufordern und transformative Diskussionen über Geschlechterparität in der Kunst anzustoßen.
In Anbetracht der aktuellen Situation, in der das Verhältnis von Künstlerinnen zu Künstlern auf dem Gallery Weekend bei etwa 40% zu 60% liegt, während an Kunsthochschulen ein umgekehrtes Verhältnis von 65% Künstlerinnen zu 35% Künstlern herrscht, wirft diese Ausstellung dringende Fragen auf. Ist es doppelt so wahrscheinlich, als Künstler auf dem Gallery Weekend ausgestellt zu werden?
PAR(I)TY WITH US lädt die Besucher*innen ein, über diese Ungleichheiten nachzudenken und die Möglichkeiten einer Neuordnung zu erkunden und so die Zukunft des Kunstbetriebs mitzugestalten.
Die aquabitArt Gallery wird mit dieser Ausstellung das Verhältnis des diesjährigen Gallery Weekends zwischen männlichen und weiblichen Künstlern auf 50% / 50% angleichen, indem sie eine Gruppenausstellung präsentiert, die ausschließlich aus Werken von Künstlerinnen besteht und so die bestehende Lücke schließt.
Zudem wird der zweite Galerieraum der Solopräsentation der Künstlerin Janine Mackenroth gewidmet sein, während der Boden mit geschredderten Euro-Geldscheinen bedeckt wird, die den Werken der SALOONISTAS "zu Füßen liegen".
PAR(I)TY WITH US geht über die bloße Darstellung von Kunst hinaus und fordert die Betrachter*innen auf, über die Notwendigkeit einer Neuordnung im Kunstbetrieb nachzudenken. Die Ausstellung soll nicht nur die Ungleichheiten aufzeigen, sondern auch alternative Wege zur Erreichung von Geschlechterparität in der Kunst aufzeigen. Zudem suggeriert der Untertitel, dass alle in der Ausstellung gezeigten Werke sehr viel mehr Wert sein werden und gibt ein Augenzwinkern in Richtung Kunstkauf aufgrund Wertsteigerungspotential.
SALOON Künstlerinnen: Janine Mackenroth (München) und 20 internationale SALOON Mitglieder: Nina Ansari (Berlin), Sara Benninga (Jerusalem), Anna Borgmann (Berlin), Aika Furukawa (Brüssel), Zohar Fraiman (Berlin), Manja Ebert (Berlin), Franziska King (Wien), Mariella Kerscher (München), Alex Lebus (Berlin), Niina Lehtonen Braun (Berlin), Markéta Magidová (Prag), Nadja Verena Marcin (Berlin), Lena Oehmsen (Berlin), Lisa Premke (Berlin), Mirae kh RHEE (Berlin), Johanna Smiatek (Berlin), Jeanne Susplugas (Paris), Ivonne Thein (Berlin), Gülce Tulçalı (London), Adriane Steckhan (Hamburg)

SKIN – Membrane, Organ, Archive presents works by women artists based in Berlin who explore the thematic complexity of skin. This makes the interweaving of e.g. sexism, racism, classism, ageism visible, bears witness to individual and collective archiving practices and, as a sensual, resistant and at the same time vulnerable organ, becomes the starting point for artistic analysis. In this way, the exhibition counters the male-dominated location — the Citadel — with feminist counter-narratives. Accompanying events include a book launch, lectures, artist talks, guided tours, film presentations and performances.

DIGITAL ART COLLECTION – Presentation and Opening
October 2 to November 6, 2021
Ort: EIGENHEIM Berlin/Weimar, Kantstraße 28, 10623 Berlin (DE)
Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 2 to 7 pm
Artists: Ines Alpha (FR), LaTurbo Avedon (METAVERSE), Jeremy Bailey (CAN), Banz & Bowinkel (DE), Jonas Blume (DE), Brickspacer (RUS), Manja Ebert (DE), Laura Fong Prosper (PAN/DE), Mohsen Hazrati (IRN/DE), Faith Holland (US), Kathrin Hunze (DE), Nadine Kolodziey (DE), Marc Lee (CHE), Lauren Lee McCarthy (US), Zach Lieberman (US), Tonio Mundry (DE), Mike Pelletier (CAN/ NL), Pitscher (DE), Zeesy Powers (CAN), Leah Schrager (US), Theresa Schubert (DE), Dagmar Schürrer (AUT/DE), Robert Seidel (DE), Paul Sermon (UK), Caspar Stracke (DE), Systaime (FR), Ivonne Thein (DE), Manuel Tozzi (AUT/DE), Tina Wilke (DE), Ziyang Wu (CHN/US)
EIGENHEIM Weimar/Berlin’s fifth edition box is focused on digital art. In cooperation with the medienkunstverein (mkv), their edition shows the artworks of thirty international artists. The constitutive element of the box is the NFC chip technology (Near Field Communication), which serves as a data exchange point for activating the works on the enclosed tablet. Integrated into individual wooden cuboids, the NFC chips contain the activation links for the respective artworks. If the viewer approaches one of the cuboids with the tablet, the artistic position is displayed and can be experienced on screen. The edition box creates a collective presentation of digital art in an intuitive way and uses different media formats such as video, AR, GIFs or 360° applications, enabling different forms of interaction simultaneously.
Through compiling the individual works, a multi-layered picture of digital art in general emerges. Embedded in a cuboid, each position manifests in analog space. The haptic cubes physically represent the immaterial works. Here, the form refers to the pixel — the smallest image point — and visualizes the digital image’s nature. The surface design is based on circuit board structure, which as an essential computer component is also a fundamental element of technologies today and highlights them as such. In their abstracted representation, the cuboids invite endless combinations and evoke a playful, tactile approach to the artworks. This approach at the same time visualizes the idea of the collective and like a puzzle, the individual works come together to form a larger whole.
In the context of the publication, the thirty digital artworks of the edition box will be shown in an exhibition in the Berlin space of the gallery.
