Thomas Zika – Sovereign Fruits
Statement by Thomas Zika: “…Before taking any photographs I am pretreating my analog 4×5 inch film material with mushrooms, which pollute out their spores latently on the film sheets, creating beautiful, but chaotic lamella circles. Depending on humidity and ripeness I let this hidden process endure from hours to months. Serendipity is my friend and …

Closeness can quickly become too much, but it is never enough. We want more and more. We seduce and allow ourselves to be seduced to get closer and closer.

NÄHE #2 – spüren
How can you get close to yourself? Searching and longing to feel oneself frequently lead to trying to get under the skin. In the figurative and in the real sense. Tattoos and (self) harm pursue this goal, as do close-up photographs that come close to the surface of the body and show wrinkles, pimples and …

CLOSENESS #1 – touch
The desire for closeness goes hand in hand with the need for touch. Touching means overcoming the spatial separation between the self and the other. The distance shrinks to a minimum and a positive feeling of familiarity is beginning. But the touch can also be uncomfortable, scary or overwhelming, dangerous or painful. The abandonment of …
CLOSENESS – exhibition project
The current omnipresent demands for social distance lead to a lack of contact and physical closeness in our everyday life. As a result, works of art come into focus that seem to deal directly with one’s own body and that of the other. The (naked) body and its surface, the skin, are the preferred subject …

Marcela Böhm. Magical Reality.
“My paintings include things, which contradict the motivic logic. This irritation is important for me, because life is like this. You always find disruptions in reality, magical or lyrical moments in everyday life, when you don’t understand anything and nothing fits together. But in the end everything joins to build a wonderful new scenery.”Marcela Böhm …

“That we togehter with the painter are left between dream and nightmare establishes the quality of her painting. The familiar becomes alien and treacherous, the everyday turns unfamiliar and threatening. …Read this way, Marcela Böhm’s painting is in its beauty as well as its abrupt, occasionally brutal disruption a continuous battle for security, for pictures …

Martin Schwenk – First Order Variants
The sculptures of Martin Schwenk refer to patterns from nature: straggling branches, roots and leaves merge with technical elements like pipes and tubes to build heterogenic hybrid forms which seem to come from a fictional parallel universe. Straggling and growth itself and its system of ordering become the subject of Schwenk’s sculpture. And this theme …

“Objektive sensory knowledge is not possible. The fact that works by Dirk Salz reflect this in the medium of painting turns out for the viewer, however, not to be the expression of despair over knowledge theory, but rather it awakens curiosity and a desire to discover and makes way for unexpected insights into the nature …
