Berlin photographer JÖRN VANHÖFEN, born in 1961, has vividly expressed his artistic and social position with his extensive work AFTERMATH and the book of the same name.
Twelve years after the first presentation of the AFTERMATH series in our gallery, we are now showing new works from recent years on the subject.
Like his other works from AFTERMATH, the current pictures again contain the discrepancy between beauty and horror, a theme that runs like a red thread through his entire photographic oeuvre. Images of the eternal cycle of creation and decay, enticing in their aesthetic beauty, frightening because of the content lurking behind them, are the subject of his interest. The structures of the surface and its colourful texture seduce and impress. The narrative quality of his early works recedes. Beauty and fright continue to be the irritating poles that make up the fascination of his works.

The exhibition is on view until April 13. The gallery will be closed from 28 March to 9 April for Easter holidays.

BARBARA PROBST
SUBJECTIVE EVIDENCE

KUNSTMUSEUM LUZERN
24.02. - 16.06.2024

The exhibition title Subjective Evidence already points to the basic theme: Where do you stand? What do you see? Where are you coming from? What are you looking at? Barbara Probst (*1964) never shows a single photograph, but always multi-perspectival series. Her smallest work groups consist of two images. In her double portraits the artist shows two people each in two photographs. Looked at casually, the photographs could be regarded as identical. But this is not so: in the left image, one person looks at the camera, the other looks past it; in the right image, the persons behave the other way round. This minimal shift intrigues us, causing us to pause for thought and making us aware of sight as a conscious process. In thematic chapters entitled “Performance”, “Landscape”, “Still Life” or “Fashion”, Barbara Probst shows work groups from over 20 years. Many photographs are being shown in Lucerne for the first time. What is more, the artist has realized a new work in the empty exhibition rooms of the Kunstmuseum Luzern.

The exhibition will also be shown in slightly different forms at the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati (29. September 2024 - 9 February 2025) and the Sprengel Museum, Hanover (11 December 2024 - 9 March 2025)

VLAD YURASHKO

„WATERCOLOUR HONEY“

10. Februar - 23. März 2024

The Ukrainian painter Vlad Yurashko, born in Poltava in 1970, has often made reference to military structures and the actions associated with them in his earlier works. In particular, he has dealt intensively with his own time as a conscript, back in the days of the Soviet Union. His works were characterized by autobiographical and diary-like situations. They were impressive paintings, which he created in rather dark colors.

The current works in this exhibition, entitled „Watercolour Honey“, are characterized by the ongoing war in his home country. Now, however, in contrast to his earlier works, Yurashko uses a new, colorful and cheerful palette. This series of watercolours depicts fabulously idealized and dreamlike situations that seem to spring from a fantasy world. In this way, the artist attempts to counter the current situation of permanent crises with a new narrative that avoids the imprint of repetitive war reports and fatalistic depictions of the crisis. In this way, Yurashko says he is trying to express everyone’s desire for peace and happiness.

The opening will take place on Friday, February 9th at 6 pm

German painter Michael Laube (*1955 in Coburg) studied Painting at the HdK Berlin and graduated in 1994 from the master class of Georg Baselitz. Already in the 90s he has created a painting technique on acrylic glass to extend his works into space. Michael Laube unites the qualities of a traditional concept of painting with a desire to dissolve the medium’s boundaries. His artistic development is based on painting in a formal, conventional sense, as far as his treatment of colour, its application and its technique are concerned. Quite early on, how­ever, he developed an ambition to go beyond this approach and extend the familiar boundaries of the painterly level. For Michael Laube this means, above all, de­parting from the classical foundation of painting – the canvas – and turning to acrylic glass as his carrier medium. Emancipating the medium in this way gives him the freedom to choose more radical forms when he explores the themes of light, move­ment, colour and space. One of Michael Laube’s central concerns is to transcend the external pictorial boundary and thus the distinct boundary between the image and the observer, too. In this way, he strives to open immediate intimacy and complexity to experience. The colours, with their miscellaneous arrangements, move along various levels, entering the observational space.He succeeds in creating colour-light-situations in which “in front of and behind” and “inside and outside” merge to become one.
He lives and works in Berlin. His works are found in numerous private and public collections around the world.

The exhibition is on view until December 21.

Ben Kuckei's entire social environment was deeply affected by his sudden death. In addition to his immediate family, this also affected the part of the family that could be described as his family of choice, the artists represented by him and the gallery.

The loss of expertise, perseverance, dedication and curiosity - in short, the loss of an important point of reference both inside and outside the gallery - continues to weigh heavily. During the official memorial service in the summer, the wish arose to create this exhibition in Ben's honor. The initiative for this came from the participating artists and represents the desire to commemorate Ben together in the spirit of art.

In addition to the artists currently represented by the gallery, Anja Nitz, Matten Vogel and Anne Berning, three artists who are closely associated with the gallery, are also represented.

The exhibition is on view until December 21. We are looking forward to welcome you at the gallery.

Award speech by Julia Rosenbaum:

„……..Seit 2016 sammelt die Künstlerin alte Postkarten von ehemaligen touristischen Ansichten, z.B. aus Nigeria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Irak, Jemen, Syrien oder der Ukraine. Sie zeigen uns Wahrzeichen, Urlaubs- und Vergnügungsorte in Friedenszeiten, wo heute Kriege, bewaffnete Konflikte, Umweltkatastrophen oder Hungersnöte herrschen. Mit Skalpell wird ein Raster in die Ansichtskarten geschnitten, wodurch sich langsam Zwischenräume herauslösen. Dabei hat uns zum einen fasziniert, dass trotz der großen Präzision, kein Schnitt, kein Raster dem anderen gleicht. Um zu begreifen, müssen wir also genau hinschauen. Zum anderen bleiben im Prozess des Schneidens einige Elemente hängen, andere gehen verloren. Architekturen und Panoramen werden analog dekonstruiert und in Pixel und Leerstellen zerlegt. Die fragilen Gitternetze lassen nur Fragmente der frühere Postkartenmotive erahnen, manchmal droht das Motiv ganz zu verschwinden. Durch das Auflösen von Bildzusammenhängen wird auf sehr subtile Art auch das Verblassen oder gar Auslöschen von Erinnerung, Geschichte und Identität thematisiert. Dass Gesellschaften Kontinuität und den Bezug zur Vergangenheit brauchen und nur so sich gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt bewahren lässt, wird vielfach in diesen Tagen diskutiert. Wie sehr auch der westliche Blick auf diese Länder nicht selten Lücken oder Fehlstellen aufweist, gibt uns diese Arbeit zu denken."

MIGUEL ROTHSCHILD
Die Ewigkeit der Nacht

28. April - 17. June 2023

The Eternity of the Night
How to represent the infinite, the inexplicable, the mystery of the night? In his fifth exhibition at Galerie Kuckei + Kuckei, Miguel Rothschild (b. 1963) seeks to explore these questions. Distributed around the darkened exhibition space are three sculptures made of safety glass, whose forms, illuminated by spotlights, are evocative of sacred architecture. Miguel Rothschild used a hammer to create a number of visible, star-shaped fractures in the glass of the sculptures. The focused lighting illuminates these “stars,” which are reflected in myriad ways in the interior of the sculptures. The sculptures jut upwards while their reflections draw the eye downward into the depths. Poetry and tragedy are thus united in all three sculptures. As in his earlier works Revelation (2011) or Absolution (2010), Rothschild forges a connection in this new series of works between the sacred and the profane, the divine and the earthly.
Smaller framed pictures form a dialogue with the sculptures. Installed on the wall, they act like windows in the room. Presented are photographs of starry skies framed with safety glass. Here, too, Rothschild processed, cut, and broke the glass. Created are drawings in the glass that allude to the vaults of various monasteries and cathedrals. While observing the works, it’s almost as if a view into the heavens is opened from the interiors of these religious spaces.
The exhibition operates between the natural and the supernatural, between the visibility of the works and the invisibility of the spiritual order, offering viewers the possibility to ascend into the eternity of the night.

Der deutsche Maler Michael Laube (*1955 in Coburg) studierte Malerei an der HdK Berlin und schloss sein Studium 1994 als Meisterschüler von Georg Baselitz ab.
Bereits in den 90er Jahren hat er eine Maltechnik auf Acrylglas entwickelt, um seine Werke in den Raum zu erweitern. Michael Laube vereint die Qualität eines traditionellen Malereibegriffs mit dem Streben nach der Entgrenzung des Mediums. Grundlage seiner künstlerischen Entwicklung ist die Malerei, in einem formal konventionellen Sinn, was den Umgang mit Farbe, Auftrag und Technik betrifft. Doch schon früh entwickelt er die Ambition, diesen Ansatz zu überschreiten und die bekannten Grenzen des Malerischen auszuweiten. Für ihn bedeutet dies in erster Linie den Abschied von dem klassischen Malgrund Leinwand und die Hinwendung zum Acrylglas als Trägermedium. Diese Befreiung des Mediums erlaubt ihm radikalere Formen in seinen Untersuchungen zu den Themen Licht, Bewegung, Farbe und Raum. Ein zentrales Anliegen Michael Laubes ist es, die äußere Bildgrenze und damit die klare Abgrenzung von Bild und Betrachter aufzuheben. Er möchte damit die unmittelbare Nähe und Vielschichtigkeit erfahrbar machen. Die Farben bewegen sich auf den verschiedenen Ebenen mit ihren unterschiedlichen Anordnungen in den Betrachtungsraum hinein. Er schafft Farb-Licht-Situationen bei denen Verknüpfungen von „Davor und Dahinter“ und „Innen und Außen“ miteinander verschmelzen. In seinen Werken interagieren farbliche Strukturen in Streifen- oder Ringsequenzen miteinander. Dabei entstehen Arbeiten, die sich einer soliden Farbigkeit bedienen, welche sich mit Wechsel des Betrachterstandpunktes teilweise radikal verändern. Hierbei vereint jeder Streifen eine konkrete Farbigkeit mit Referenzen von Struktur, gestischem Ausdruck und Perspektive. Es mischen sich jedoch auch immer wieder Arbeiten dazwischen, deren organischere Formen - oder wie in letzter Zeit - starker gestischer Farbauftrag nur von vereinzelten Streifensequenzen zusammengehalten werden.

Michael Laube lebt und arbeitet in Berlin. Seine Werke befinden sich in zahlreichen privaten und öffentlichen Sammlungen auf der ganzen Welt.

In this way, he strives to open immediate intimacy and complexity to experience. The colours, with their miscellaneous arrangements, move along various levels, entering the observational space.
He succeeds in creating colour-light-situations in which “in front of and behind” and “inside and outside” merge to become one. In his works, colourful structures interact with one another in sequences of stripes and rings. In this way, works arise that avail themselves of a sound chromaticity which, to some degree, changes radically in line with the standpoint of the observer. In the process, each strip combines a concrete colourfulness displaying references of structure, gestural expression and perspective. Time and again, however, works become mixed in among them, whose more organic forms – or, as has recently been the case – whose more powerful gestural applications of paint, are held together only by isolated sequences of strips.

He lives and works in Berlin.His works are found in numerous private and public collections around the world.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Palma!

Until the beginning of June, the fantastic retrospective of OLIVER VAN DEN BERG can be seen at KUNSTHALLE NÜRNBERG.

Oliver van den Berg (*1967) became known for his sculptures and installations based on technical instruments such as flight recorders, radars and star projectors. He translates these into sculptures with a technoid feel. His models from various fields of technology, space and aviation, as well as warfare, are robbed of their function and materiality. He often uses softwoods for his sculptures. Oliver van den Berg’s works are always quotations and variations of existing objects; his sculptural work revolves around the themes of reproduction, repetition and imitation. At the same time, however, his sculptures will always represent his own formal creations, since they are undiminished appropriations and individual reinterpretations.

With the exhibition OLIVER VAN DEN BERG. STOWAWAYS, Kunsthalle Nürnberg is presenting a wide selection of his works from the past two decades.
SNOECK Verlag has published the monograph.
