Im Rahmen der Ausstellung ‚The Minimal Input‘ von Ingo Gerken freuen wir uns, Sie zum Artist Talk einzuladen:

INGO GERKEN und MARTIN CONRADS

sprechen über offene Bücher, künstlerische Aneignung und skulpturale Momente.
Das Gespräch findet am Donnerstag, 15.01.2026, um 19 Uhr in unserem Galerieraum in der Linienstraße 107 /108statt.

Ingo Gerken zeigt in seiner ersten Einzelausstellung bei Kuckei + Kuckei Fotografien und Skulpturen seiner Werkreihe BIBLIOSCULPTURES. Die Serie führt visuelle Dialoge mit institutionellen Buchveröffentlichungen zur Kunst der Gegenwart. Aufgeblätterte Seiten von Museumskatalogen und Kunstmagazinen sind hier Spielfeld und Untersuchungsobjekt zugleich. Abgebildete Reproduktionen und ikonische Werkfotografien verwandelt der Künstler durch Hinzufügung unscheinbarer Gegenstände. Der minimale Eingriff erweitert dabei Lesbarkeit und Perspektive und wirft einen befreienden Blick auf Komplexität und Anmut von Kunst und Kunstbetrieb.
Martin Conrads arbeitet u.a. als freier Autor für die taz, den Freitag oder die springerin, als Bildredakteur für die Wiener Staatsoper und als Dozent für die weißensee kunsthochschule berlin und die HTW Berlin. 2024 erhielt er den ADKV-ART COLOGNE Preis für Kunstkritik.

INGO GERKEN
THE MINIMAL INPUT

28. November 2025 – 31. Januar 2026

The series ‚Bibliosculptures‘ by Ingo Gerken engages in visual dialogues with international book publications on contemporary art history. Temporary interventions are created in public art libraries, taking place directly in the books and thus establishing contact with the printed images of artworks . This results in a coexistence of object and image, a fusion of perspectives, an associative exchange, or a formal-aesthetic leap.
At the intersection of everyday artistic life and art historical research, selected books become an expanded space for play and reception: trivial objects encounter relevant works of art, shifting the boundaries between discourse and reality. Art and art books become accessible from new perspectives. In his photographs, Ingo Gerken creates fleeting sculptural constellations in the field of tension between representation, reference, and resistance, which also question the relationship between authorship and artistic appropriation. He always understands the depicted artworks in the context of their published reproduction and sees the open book as a mentally open terrain for poetic expansion or system-critical commentary. The works are sculptural assertions and contextual links between homage and subversion. They take place directly and immediately at and with their source, where they are composed ‚on site‘ in pictorial space and documented photographically.

Ingo Gerken (*1971 in Lippetal) lives and works in Berlin. From 1995 to 2000, he studied fine art at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel and environmental art at the Glasgow School of Art. His work has received numerous awards (including from the Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn, the Academy of Arts Berlin, and the Neuköllner Kunstpreis) and has been shown in numerous international solo and group exhibitions. His current works are also on display in the exhibition “Out of the Box – 75 Years of the Academy of Arts Archive” at the Berlin Academy of Arts at Pariser Platz (on view until January 18, 2026).

FIENE SCHARP
dissolving grids

20.Juni - 26.Juli 2025

The disappearance of the grid, the dismantling of structure, the disruption of the predictable, the disintegration of order. In her fourth solo exhibition at Kuckei + Kuckei, Fiene Scharp dedicates herself to a phenomenon that could be viewed as a contemporary social study. The artist’s works, defined by an almost acrobatic precision of the scalpel and at the same time intriguing in their poetic delicate nature, demonstrate an admiration for the coincidental, the unpredictable inherent in any systematics.

Scharp’s new paper cuts, created between 2024 and 2025, some of which appear to hang freely, white on white on the wall, dazzle the eye like a reinvention of trompe-l’oeil for the medium of paper. In another work covering a whole wall, a delicate white geometric grid made of tissue paper undulates in gentle folds against a black background. The work consists of nine parts that, when assembled, form a three-dimensional, haptic structure reminiscent of a textile fabric. Once again, the grid becomes an object. Other small-format framed works are made up of cut-outs coated with graphite – physical drawings floating in their frames. The artist uses a technique she developed herself, dipping the paper cut-outs in a mixture of self-produced “graphite dust,” sodium silicate, and acrylic lacquer.

The starting point for her works is no longer primarily pre-existing, antiquarian grids stemming from the world of traditional organizational systems, but rather her own grids, which Scharp develops as drawings and creates as self-invented systems or rhythmic structures. Common to all her works is the beauty of fragility, an awareness of transience, and the captivating presence of a delicacy that is barely tangible.

JUNO ROTHAUG

BUTTER ON BOTH SIDES

1.05. - 14.06.25

Juno Rothaug’s works develop from the field of tension between figurative reference and painterly coding. The starting point is often a figurative idea, a fragment, a pose or an art-historical motif, which is increasingly shifted, fragmented and superimposed in the painting process. Lines blur, areas of colour start to move, forms dissolve. Legibility is subverted in favour of a pictorial language that oscillates between figuration and abstraction. Rothaug is interested in the ambivalence of the image - in what is visible and what is simultaneously withdrawn. For her, encryption is not a game of hide-and-seek, but a productive moment of irritation. What is depicted always remains precarious. The painting process is characterised by an interplay of revealing and concealing, tension and relaxation, distance and closeness. The pictures are not created according to a clear preliminary drawing, but grow in an open dynamic in which touch, movement and painterly intuition become central.

Juno Rothaug (*1999) lives and works in Hamburg. She is studying in Anselm Reyle’s class at the HFBK Hamburg.

Heute genau vor 32 Jahren, am 15. Mai 1993, haben Ben und ich unsere erste Ausstellung mit Werken von Karina Spechter eröffnet. Unsere Galerie war in der Bregenzer Straße 10 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. Im Mai 1998 sind wir dann in die Linienstraße gezogen. Kaum zu glauben, wie schnell diese Jahre vergangen sind.

Exactly 32 years ago today, on May 15, 1993, Ben and I opened our first exhibition with works by Karina Spechter. Our gallery was at Bregenzer Straße 10 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. We then moved to Linienstraße in May 1998. It’s hard to believe how quickly these years have passed.

BARBARA PROBST
February 28 - April 12, 2025

The exhibition is our contribution to the European Month of Photography (EMOP) in Berlin.

Barbara Probst (*1964) stages her subjects and constructs her photographs in a very deliberate and precise way. Each work is composed of a group of photographs that appear
mysteriously connected and challenge viewers both in an intellectual and tactile way. Only later do we realize that they show the same subject from different vantage points.
Using a remote control, Probst triggers multiple cameras simultaneously, all aimed at the same scene. This technique reveals how “reality” can look different in the same moment and how a scene can be interpreted in various
ways, depending on the perspective. The instant becomes fragmented and expanded as it unfolds like a story before our eyes. Probst uses this fragmentation of time to
delve into the many ambiguities of photographic images and to explore conventions and genres such as reportage,
surveillance, portraiture, still life, nudes and fashion
photography. “My work is about seeing and observing, about our perception – how we see the world and how differently we can perceive it,” explains the artist.

Her works have been exhibited at MoMA in New
York in 2006 as part of the “New Photography” exhibition, and in numerous solo shows, including Sprengel Museum Hannover (2025); Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati (2024) ; Kunstmuseum Luzern (2024) ; La Triennale in Milan (2022), Kunsthalle Nuremberg (2021), Le Bal in Paris (2019), Centre Pasquart in Biel (2014), Rudolfinum in Prague (2014), the National Museum of Photography in Copenhagen (2013), Oldenburger Kunstverein (2009), and the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago (2007). Her works are held by important museum collections, including MoMA and the Whitney Museum in New York, Museum Folkwang in Essen, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Hiermit möchten wir auf die großartige Ausstellung „An den Rändern taumelt das Glück“ im Brandenburgischen Landesmuseum für moderne Kunst in Cottbus hinweisen.
Jörn Vanhöfen ist dort mit seiner Werkeihe „Zwischenzeit“ vertreten, die im Zeitraum 1989-91 in der DDR entstand.

An den Rändern taumelt das Glück
Die späte DDR in der Fotografie
1.3. - 11.5. 2025
Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus
Brandenburgisches Landesmuseum
für moderne Kunst

Mit über 360 Fotografien versammelt die Schau Werke renomierter Fotografen*innen, die in der DDR lebten und arbeiteten. Das Spektrum der ausgestellten Bilder reicht von dokumentarischen Praktiken über inszenierte Kompositionen bis hin zu experimentellen Fotografien und Filmen.
Die Schau stellt künstlerisch-dokumentarische Fotografie in Beziehung zu sozial-dokumentarischen Arbeiten. Dabei rückt der Mensch stets ins Zentrum- als Individuum, als Teil einer Gemeinschaft und im Spannungsfeld zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart.

Jörn Vanhöfen hat im Oktober 1989 also einen Monat vor dem Mauerfall seinen Studienplatz der Fotografie an der Folkwangschule in Essen getauscht gegen einen Platz an der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. Er hat dort die Zwischenzeit der Systeme erlebt und fotografiert. Diese Arbeit wurde seine Diplomarbeit an der HGB in Leipzig im Jahre 1991. Die Fotografien sind nicht unter dem Aspekt der dokumentarischen Sichtweise hinsichtlich der politischen und gesellschaftlcihen Ereignisse entstanden, sondern als eine Reise durch ein verschwindenes Land. Sie tragen mehr Subjektivität in sich als Dokumente. So spiegeln die Bilder die Atmosphäre einer Gesellschaft in den unterschiedlichsten Grautönen wider.

Jochen Hein und Miguel Rothschild
‚ÜBER DAS SICHTBARE HINAUS‘
Museum Kunst der Westküste, Föhr
23. Februar 2025 - 11. Januar, 2026

Am 23. Februar wurde die großartige Ausstellung von Jochen Hein und Miguel Rothschild ‚ÜBER DAS SICHTBARE HINAUS‘ im Museum Kunst der Westküste eröffnet.

Beide Künstler verhandeln in ihren eindrucksvollen Werken die großen, kollektiven Urbilder: Meer, Wald, Himmel und Wolken.

Sowohl in kleinen als auch in monumentalen Bildformaten werden Illusionen hoher Wirklichkeitsnähe erschaffen und zugleich durch Abstraktion oder Aufbrechen von Oberflächen entzaubert. Nichts Geringeres als die Erhabenheit der Natur, die ohne den Menschen auskommt, steht im Zentrum.
