Galerie OPEN

galerie OPEN by Alexandra, was founded in 2008, is located between the Berlin districts Kreuzberg and Mitte – directly where once the Berlin wall divided the city. The gallery provides a total of 157 square meters exhibition space. Its slogan is best formulated in the words of Cathy A. Malchiodis, who said to create art is “the basic human urge, a trait of our species as natural as language, sex, social interaction and aggression.”

The galerie OPEN artists mainly live and work in Berlin and New York. Even though their artistic styles differ the connection of the metropolitan influence is noticeable in their body of work. galerie OPEN wants to provide a platform of cultural exchange for these two metropoles and their artists.

May 31-July 21, 2012

Opening reception: May 31, 2012, 7-10pm

What unites the computer game Duke Nukem, a derelict Latium factory and the German tabloid Bild? In the group exhibition Building/Constructing they are utilised as starting points for a meditation on the hyperreality of our built environment. Abstract silkscreens resemble eerie constructivist urban plans, backdrops of 90’s computer games serve as blueprints for architectural models of dereliction, and a residency in Latium inspired Romanticist meditations on the potentially pernicious effect of the built environment.

Guest artist Peter Feigenbaum (b. 1984, Massachusetts, lives and works in New York) draws on vaguely remembered episodes of teenage encounters with New York City. Feigenbaum’s models combine half-remembered visual snapshots of the city’s decaying tenements with imagery appropriated from 90’s computer games to form a dystopian fictional neighbourhood. Feigenbaum’s pieces are above all a meditation on the cultural remnants of the 1990’s, viewed through the le... [ Read all ]
