About

The current exhibition at Monte Vista Projects provides an insight into a multitude of artistic practices which members of SCOTTY in Berlin display through collage, painting, text, photography, video, audio and installation. The exhibition is based on the idea to introduce SCOTTY as a group of individual artists, and by doing so, showing what keeps each of them busy on a daily basis, that is in their respective studios, on research trips or in the editing room.

Exhibiting artists: Charlotte Bastian, Sigrun Drapatz, Kiki Gebauer, Simone Haeckel, Julia Krewani, Karen Linnenkohl, Christine Niehoff, Bettina Weiß and Juliane Zelwies.

MVP

Monte Vista Projects is a Los Angeles based artist-run collective established in 2007. Through exhibitions, lectures, events, and performances, MVP strives to question existing standards that emerge from academia and contemporary art institutions. Monte Vista Projects collaborates with local, national, and international artist-run spaces. We prioritize working with under-represented artists to broaden access to artistic discourse.

SCOTTY

SCOTTY was founded in 2006. Today, the artist-run project space is located in Kreuzberg, Oranienstrasse and organized by 10 artists. In the house with the smallest floor space in Kreuzberg SCOTTY provides an open platform for its member artists and curators as well as for guests, offering the greatest possible freedom while exploiting group potential to a maximum.

Intermedia and interdisciplinary solo and group exhibitions are shown at regular intervals, and performances and film evenings are organized. The focus is on contemporary social and cultural-political issues. SCOTTY operates independent of the market – it is self-autonomy determined and non-hierarchical.

Above and beyond the work in this space in Berlin-Kreuzberg , the members of SCOTTY initiate and organize supra-regional and international cooperation with other similar project spaces, strengthening the position of artists working autonomously through nationwide visibility and networking.
Despite the members‘ pronounced individuality, they share a desire to create new opportunities for artistic actions and ideas.

The vitality of SCOTTY arises from the consistent, self-determined implementation of democratic agreement among members during the planning and realization of projects.
