About
Anina Brisolla’s and Brad Doney’s exhibited groups of works have one common denominator: writing. While Brisolla in her „fabrics“ series is reflecting on the binary system of truth and false both philosophically but also politically in the contemporary age of so called fake news and individual truths Downey in his writings is adressing the issue of presence and the reissurance of individual existence, leaving personal traces on the walls symbollically. Downey worked with ceramics giving bigger vessels the look of a wall to leave grafitti traces on. Brisolla is using three-dimensional handwritings to repeat the same words mantra-like. Hildebrandt in contrast dispplaying a chess pawn is tackling the issue of individuality from the side of uniformity and thus adressing the antagonistic ambivalence of individuality in uniform. Truth needs words to manifest on stones. And symbols to reflect on oneself. They say that "sticks and stones can break (...) bones but words can never hurt (...)." Incidentally words can be used as weapeons especially in the time of information age thrown at the other like a stone.
LIBERTINE
LIBERTINE is a gallery, guild, and atelier: a unique project in the art world introducing and exploring a network of new concepts and methods aesthetic, economic, political, analytic and otherwise.
SCHAU FENSTER SUPPORTERS CLUB
Since 2010, the SCHAU FENSTER has been a platform for art. More than 1,500 contemporary artists have presented their current works to the Berlin public in monthly changing group exhibitions.
The SCHAU FENSTER functions as a social sculpture and uses art as a medium to bring different people together. Vernissages with DJs, performances and readings contribute to the unconventional atmosphere that makes this non-commercial place so unique in Berlin's cultural landscape.
Support this room and become a member of the SCHAU FENSTER SUPPORTERS CLUB by giving 100, - Euro annually, as we cannot accept donations due to our lean organizational form.
In addition to the good feeling of being a patron and enabling cultural freedom, each SCHAU FENSTER SUPPORTER will receive a lithograph from the Tabor Presse Berlin at the end of the year, designed by an artist who also supports the SCHAU FENSTER. In addition, the list of works of each exhibition is sent to the SCHAU FENSTER SUPPORTER in advance. And the SCHAU FENSTER SUPPORTER are the first to receive the exclusive invitation to the annual, exclusive Kale & Pee Dinner and other cultural events of the special class.
This club is limited to 69 members, according to the exclusive edition of the lithographs.
