Thank you for supporting the gallery in art season 2019/20. It was a strange but inspiring time. The gallery goes for it well-deserved summer break! To bridge the time we offer you two summer specials! Enjoy!
Summer Special #1
Irish Summer
Due to Corona a lot of cultural events, concerts and exhibitions were cancelled or postponed. No difference with the first exhibition in cooperation with Hillsboro Fine Art, Dublin. Three young, in Ireland living artist were supposed to come to Berlin and present their art for the first time in Germany. Unfortunately this will not happen this year any more. Luckily we have the internet and Cecilia Bullo, Amanda Doran and George Warren present a selection of works in an online exclusive show!

What do we do with images and what do they do to us? The meaningful images stand out of the so called flood of images – we need them to communicate, we fill them up with meaning and echo ourselves in and through them. The cultural image repertoire is a pool of communication means and possibilities that we can use and appropriate. But what do these meaningful images tell us about „us“? Why do we amplify some, repeat others and ignore the rest?
Art and artistic visual practice are able to make us think about what we fill up with symbolic meaning, which visual rhetorics speak to us, which visual language we understand and which we don‘t get at all. Art can show us the way we see.
Taking into account the complex visual strategies of artist Pham Thai Ho, the appealing image montages by the art historian collective Tabloid Art History and the highly subjective experiment to visualise the visual affinities of the cultural image repertoire this exhibition examines aspects of the current visual language.
