Time Is a Healer
Solo show by Jonny Star
Opening, Thursday, 3.04.2025, from 5 pm to 9 pm
Exhibition runs from 4.04. until 6.04.2025
Open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 3 pm to 7 pm
The solo exhibition Time Is a Healer presents a series of works by Berlin-based artist Jonny Star, which were produced with precision and great attention to detail during the Corona lockdown. The series of works Space comprises particularly expressive and high-quality works by the artist and allows us to immerse in a new visual language that combines painting, photography, digital montage and textile art. Sensual, aesthetic and expressive, the works invite the viewer into a dreamlike space in which the living beings human, as a female body, and animal, as a Japanese ornamental carp Koi, meet and seem to dance, swim and float. In the series of six wall hangings, humans and animals unite and surround each other, sensually, tenderly, in various movements and positions in relation to each other, dynamically or calmly, or even appear to merge. In proportions that are not true to life, but with shimmering, colour-matched textures of skin and scales, creatures from the elements of air and water meet here in a new element: in a white open space that seems to be limited only by the edge of the picture. White, surreal, dreamlike, infinite like nothingness, space. A space without a floor, without boundaries, but certainly deep, which makes orientation fade, an unknown space, not of this world, a heavenly, divine space full of light? Or the space in the mind, of dreaming, of the imaginary, of the subconscious, and possibly a place for transcendence, reconciliation, healing, and peace?
The exhibition Time Is a Healer presents for the first time this series Space with printed and sewn wall hangings richly embroidered with Swarovski pearls, as well as works on paper, photomontages, and prints. The exhibition is accompanied by texts by four curators – four different interpretations of Stars’ Space series, which were written after its completion in 2020/2021. Daniela von Damaros, Katia Hermann, Sylvia Sadzinski and Madeleine Schwinge thus open up different perspectives on Jonny Star’s expressive series and take us into the visual cosmos of Time Is a Healer.

About the artist
The visual artist Jonny Star (born 1964 in Düsseldorf) has lived and worked in Berlin since the 1980s. Star’s work mixes a variety of materials and media such as bronze, fabric, photography, collage, embroidery, painting, and elements of installation art. She is thus at home in several disciplines and works in an interplay with analogue and digital techniques. Certain patterns or references have been repeated in her works over the past decades and thus form a connecting network in her work. Her ensembles explore biographical experiences, sexuality, gender roles and identity, as well as society’s perception of them. In recent years, Jonny Star has been intensively involved with the interfaces between art and shamanism, with healing processes through the resource of artistic expression and community building through artistic interventions. In addition to her artistic practice, Jonny Star sees her curatorial practice as an extension of her artistic work and in the sense of social sculpture. Jonny Star’s work has been shown internationally since 1996. In 2016, the artist’s first monograph entitled ‘See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me’ was published by Distanz Berlin. Jonny Star’s works are represented in various collections. She is also a member of the Berufsverband Bildender Künstler*innen Berlin (BBK), VG Bild-Kunst Bonn and Saloon Berlin – Network for women in the Berlin art scene. Since 2022, Jonny Star has also been working as a psychological and shamanic counsellor in her new place STAR LAND in Berlin-Kreuzberg.

BERLIN Stillgelegt
Photography by Kevin Schulzbus

The photo exhibition by Kevin Schulzbus presents analog and digital photographs taken over several years in Berlin. The genuine Berlin photographer and videographer writes the following words about “BERLIN Stillgelegt”: “Free space. What is space. Space in the city. Free space. That is not used. Disused, old, unused space. Areas that lie fallow. Neglected. Useless. And yet so beautiful. I love these places, which are becoming fewer and fewer in Berlin. On my countless kilometers by foot through Berlin, I have collected a large collection of these un-places, non-places and open spaces over 25 years. Disused, forgotten places that are so wonderfully monotonous and yet varied in their own way that you absolutely must not let them fall into oblivion.”

Photo and video exhibition by Hannes Jahreis of the street artist “! “@SeX#─────██████████════█ -_- .“
Since 1995, the Berlin street artist ! “@SeX#─────██████████════█ -_- .“
has felt called upon to leave his mark on Berlin’s urban space with brush and paint. In the future, the previously more temporary events are to appear more permanently in the cityscape. He usually applies his signs to garbage, bulky waste, building sites or posters and creates in silence what only works in chaos. Many of you may be familiar with the painted 6, a 6-lettering consisting of ONE line, which also fits in with his keySstroke computer technology. This is about the technical possibility of opening one or more websites or entering text with ONE action on 2 adjacent keys.
The exhibition shows a documentary series of his work, interpreted by Hannes Jahreis through video and black and white photography and gives us a small insight into his forays and his creations.

About the artists
Kevin Schulzbus, born in Berlin in 1984, is one of the capital’s most active urban photographers. Sometimes more, sometimes less on, above and below the streets of Berlin, his paths automatically lead him to his motifs. By exposing the different layers that the big city brings with it, Kevin shows the true face of Berlin and its characters. Artists, people on and off the street, friends or chance acquaintances pose skillfully, some unskillfully, in front of the photographer’s lens. Situations, coincidences and events that are not exactly everyday occurrences shape the documentary works and characterize the styles that Kevin has acquired over the years.
Hannes Jahreis likes to walk the streets of Berlin at night with his camera.

„In the beginning was the drawing…“
Drawing is the most direct form of capturing thoughts in a visual language on paper. The first one was made seventy thousand years ago in a cave in South Africa. The last in distant AI time (…). Drawing unites all people. Whether it’s doodling with crayons, which we all tried our hand at as children, or leaving a trace in the sand; it is the first experience that we can create something lasting out of nothing – like on a white sheet of paper – that possibly finds resonance in the environment. And we realize that nothing is not nothing, but is Us. Our consciousness, our creation. Drawing on paper is the mother of art. It is still free, before the expectations of school, of society in general, want to dictate what art should look like.
Drawing is the foundation of every art form. Drawing does not lie. It is direct information about the creator. The sculptor uses it to quickly capture thoughts for forms. Lines that are able to represent volume. Film ideas are captured through storyboards. The line that reproduces movement as well as narration. And it can cast light and shadow directly onto a piece of paper through tautness and contour to the painter. On the road, in the mountains, in the pub. Immediately. In this way, drawing can be the freezing of an artistic idea or a sensation that the artist’s later transfer to another medium, with more idleness and effort, the preparation of the material, and finds its actual purpose. But it can also be the main work, an original on paper.
Whether chaotic, constructed, representational or abstract, political or erotic, the work on paper opens up a universe in its simplicity. The exhibition PAPERY attempts to depict an atom of this and to give an insight into the different visual languages of the 11 artists presented. Their common ground lies not only in drawing on paper, but also in their origins in graffiti writing, calligraphy or mural painting. Whether post- or mid-graffiti, possibly pre-, graffiti crossed their biographies in different ways and shaped their lives and style. In the group exhibition PAPERY, RETRAMP Gallery presents originals on paper created with various techniques and materials, such as charcoal, pencil, ink, oil pastels, fineliner, watercolour or mixed media. From the classic sketch to the original work on paper that already approaches painting.

The group show Weiterbildung-Reshaped presents the work of three artists breaking the rectangular format or the two-dimensionality of the classical canvas, while developing it further. Evolved within modern painting after the 40s, shaped canvases are paintings that depart from the normal flat, rectangular configuration and may be shaped by altering their outline and format, in order to achieve congruence between the content of the picture and its form, or alternatively a dialectical relationship between the outer and inner forms. Going a step further, canvases may be altered by losing their flatness, in adding relief with different materials such as in Combine paintings. Arguably, changing the surface configuration of the painting transforms it into a (wall) sculpture.
After nearly twenty years of consistent work in abstract painting and drawing, Jessica Buhlmann’s practice evolved towards shaped canvas and three-dimensional works, as she continued experimenting with materials, shapes and colours. Inspired by nature and found materials, the artist works with randomness, accidents and contingencies on multiple levels. Guided by intuition and sensitivity, she oscillates between planning and spontaneity, movement and stasis. Poised between composition and improvisation, an aesthetic ecosystem of subtle relationships, dramatic balances, and constant surprise comprises the abstract work of Jessica Buhlmann.
Livia Bulea defines himself as a social practice installation artist. In his Combine paintings, collages and assemblages, he is mixing architectural and natural elements as well as materials and mediums such as concrete and branches, photography and drawing. His wall installations depict traumatic processes, transforming them into emotions and drawing attention to particular social issues and structures, sometimes lost through selective memory. Creating a universe where nature and urbanity act in balance, the motif of ruins, the prefabricated and recycled enter into a dialog with architecture. Liviu’s work is closely connected to places and to experiences of those. His mixed media works are collections of stories, of memories of people and places, and therefore of different materials from urban and natural surroundings. This materiality breaks the two-dimensionality of the flat frame, creating sculptural wall works full of references, stimulating, sensitive, both rugged and fragile.
Katrin Kampmann’s colour intense paintings and pictorial approach are based on what is seen as poetic, extraordinary, and inaccessible. Her artistic ideas focus on the exploration of and immersion in the deeper layers of our psyche and cultural existence. In her work, she deals with social issues and repeatedly conducts an artistic comparison with reality in mixing abstract shapes and figurative elements, often inspired by literature or particular contemporary topics. Gesture, expressiveness and lightness form the foundations of her practice, alongside different techniques such as acrylic, ink or printmaking. Abandoning the rectangular shape of the canvas after nearly two decades, she creates sculptural paintings, shaping her canvas as one single entity or as multiple elements of one picture. Playful and strong, her painting is willing to expand in space.
About the artists
Jessica Buhlmann (*1977 in Potsdam, Germany), Buhlmann lives and works in Berlin and graduated in 2007 with a masters in Contemporary Art at the Universität der Künste Berlin. Her work has been featured in exhibitions in Germany and other countries such as Sweden, Czech Republic, and Canada. After focusing on abstract painting for more than twenty years, she has in recent years steadily expanded the concepts and forms of her previous explorations into sculptures and installations. Poised between composition and improvisation, her “poems in space” constitute aesthetic ecosystems of subtle and complex relationships, fragile yet intense balances, and constant surprise.
Liviu Bulea (*1989 in Turda, Romania), lives and works in Turda and Berlin. For his BA and MA, he conducted research on the diseased body, focusing on memories of spaces and objects from hospital oncology wards. He is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Arts and Design in Cluj-Napoca, where he works on the relationship between art, architecture and the urban environment. His field of research extends from spaces of architectural memory to the queer community. Liviu has exhibited his works at the Romanian Cultural Institute, Berlin; French Cultural Institute, Cluj; National Art Museum, Cluj, Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest; Mumok Vienna; Parallel Vienna, Bucharest Biennale, etc. He has done many residencies, for ex. Kultur Kontakt, Vienna; Styria Art in Residency, Graz and Cité internationale des arts in Paris.

Solo show CREAM – Nischengold & Schriftverkehr @RETRAMP Berlin
Written by katia on . Posted in Exhibitions, Last news: Exhibitions/Publications.
CREAM – Nischengold & Schriftverkehr
Solo show from the 19th to the 28th of August 2022
Opening: Friday, August 19, 2022, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Open from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The solo exhibition “Nischengold & Schriftverkehr” presents new works by the Berlin based artist CREAM and offers an insight into the transposition of his art from urban space to studio works. The photographs of his works on outdoor architecture; his sketches, collages, and works on glass show us an abstracted form – entities, stylised vertical letter images that challenge our habits of perception. His elaborate works on glass, made specifically for the exhibition on old windows from the Wilhelminian period, were transported as raw material from the street to the studio and thus saved from being trash.
As architectural elements/windows, they symbolize the optical transition from inside to outside and outside to inside: offering the artist the perfect frame for painted „shape games“, incorporating a special technique for glass.
Charged with the letter aesthetics of CREAM and enhanced with traditional signpainter’s craft and gilding; this series of works incorporate ancient techniques as well as contemporary letter aesthetics that make these unique works act as classic, modern, contemporary, and at the same time universally timeless.
Curated by Katia Hermann.
About the artist
CREAM was born in Potsdam in 1977. He first came into contact with graffiti culture in 1991. Since then, he has been constantly exploring the phenomenon of graffiti writing on an aesthetic and content-related level. Other focal points of his artistic work are interventions in urban space through various craft practices, as well as process and project-oriented work in the context of cultural education and art education. He lives and works as a freelance artist in Berlin.

10.09.2021 to 19.09.2021 for Berlin Art Week 2021
RETRAMP Gallery, Reuterstraße.62, 12047 Berlin, www.retramp.com
The title of the duo exhibition by Caitlin Hespe and Ida Lawrence „A bird in the grass is worth a thousand hearts“ is an amalgamation of four different English proverbs: “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”, “The grass is always greener on the other side”, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder” and “A picture is worth a thousands words”. The latter proverb fits extremely well to the works of the two Australian visual artists. Because through the figurative representation of their paintings and drawings, their pictorial motifs and the integration of hand-painted text and puns, the works speak for themselves and often tell a little story. The confrontation of objects and motifs in a picture, which seem to have no connection, usually results in strange associations. With both artists there are also stylistic overlaps, such as taking up a grid/net in some works. Imperfect, deformed, with meandering lines or set in perspective, an actually structuring tool becomes a deformed pattern.
Hand-painted text in the form of short sentences, slogans or short narrative excerpts give the images an additional level and new interpretation. With thematic allusions and usually with a sense of humor, they give the works a different way of looking at the objects or figures depicted. Sequencing and repeating sections of images in a work can be found in some of Caitlin Hespe’s work as well as ida Lawrence’s. In Caitlin Hespe’s work, there are usually two or four images in a single work, which, set side by side, resemble each other, yet differentiate and may seem strangely juxtaposed. These motif repetitions are not presented in exactly the same way, but are altered, as in Ida Lawrence’s work, for example, in the fifteen pictures of the architecture of the church in Zionskirchplatz with the sky in the evening sun, or the fruit baskets decaying in sequence. They are deformed, denatured or distorted and are intentionally imperfect. Both artists are concerned with the perception of things, with illusion and imperfection, and playful reinterpretations for new trains of thought. In the foreground is the aspect that separate things meet or collide and that these visual confrontations/connections irritate and surprise on a pictorial level. And despite the playful, poetic approaches and humorous Dadaist hints of both artists with biographical allusions, one can also sense a certain nostalgia and melancholy, which can certainly be found in the proverbs that served as inspiration for the exhibition title.
The two Australian visual artists are now playing with the interweaving of their works in the spaces of RETRAMP, transforming the gallery into a laboratory of playful associations, overlaps and correlations of their pictorial worlds. Through the juxtapositions and modes of presentation, two artistic approaches are brought together by means of selected works that were created separately, showing surprising similarities, as if the two long-time friends were in telepathic artistic connection. Here in the spatial context, their works now experience concrete relationships, interference, reciprocal references, and above all, a resonance in this unique constellation.

Press release
A bird in the grass is worth a thousand hearts
Duo show by Caitlin Hespe & Ida Lawrence
During Berlin Art Week 2021 from 10.09.2021 to 19.09.2021
Opening Friday 10.09.2021, 5 pm – 9 pm.
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays open from 3 pm – 7 pm.
RETRAMP Gallery, Reuterstr. 62, 12047 Berlin, www.retramp.com
The duo show A bird in the grass is worth a thousand hearts sees Retramp re-vamped into a laboratory of play and possibility in a reunion. Caitlin Hespe and Ida Lawrence are two artists who have been working apart from each other (most recently in Budapest and Berlin, respectively), though also in close contact. Through telepathic communication (or just regular phone contact, we cannot be sure) motifs merge and collide, and thematic encounters occur. In her drawings and paintings, Caitlin Hespe pairs images in surprising combinations through a new logic and sensibility. She makes leaps and links between associations and language, and plays with the page as a space of illusions. Ida Lawrence’s canvases tell stories of mishaps, (mis)understanding and (dis)connection. Set between Germany, Indonesia and Australia — her homes at different times — her narrative paintings reflect recent observations, delve into distant memories, and chart her attempts to make sense of the world.
The title of the exhibition A bird in the grass is worth a thousand hearts is a conflation of (at least) four English language proverbs, each representing a sentiment or lesson for a specific moment. One values that which is close in the present, another that absence can grow desire, one says things in the distance are seen with a skewed perspective, another that images and words can not really equate. Holding each of these ‘wisdoms’ could be confusing, maybe nonsensical, or perhaps the confused proverb is a wisdom in itself?
In the same way, this exhibition developed in situ connects threads of the artists’ thoughts, anecdotes, messages and mark-making sensibility into a new conversation within the gallery space.

About the artists
Caitlin Hespe
Caitlin Hespe (b. 1989, Sydney, Australia) is a visual artist whose research-based installation practice includes drawing and painting. She graduated at the National Art School (Australia), with a Master of Fine Art (Drawing) in 2018. She works individually, and as half of a collaborative duo with Emilie Syme-Lamont. In 2019 Caitlin was an artist-in-residence in Paris at La Cité des Arts Internationale awarded through the National Art School, later a program assistant for the Budapest Art Residency (BARTR). She has shown works in a collaboration through PINCE Projects in Budapest in 2021, and with solo shows at The Waiting Room Projects and Articulate Project Space in Sydney. She is currently based in Budapest, Hungary.
Ida Lawrence
Ida Lawrence (b. 1988, Sydney, Australia) is a visual artist with a special interest in storytelling. Her narrative paintings combine text and images, fact and fiction, and drawings from research, observations and personal experiences. Painting is for her a way of making sense of the world and usually approached with a sense of play and humor and is particularly interested in how the visual and ‘abstract’ language of painting can be a form of storytelling in itself.
In Australia, Ida graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the National Art School in 2009 and received First Class Honours at Sydney College of the Arts in 2014. In 2009 she co-founded MILS gallery, an artist-run project space in Sydney, then moved to Indonesia where she studied dance at the Indonesian Arts Institute, Yogyakarta. Since 2017, Ida has been a member of Woven Kolektif. She lives and works in Berlin since 2019.

The lockdown doesn’t just have negative aspects. Who hasn’t had the bright idea to repaint their home, sort out their belongings or thoroughly renovate their business during this time of enforced withdrawal? Here is finally an opportunity to consider these small projects or a major interior cleaning. After so many months of lockdown, during which many closed places have transformed their spaces, the idea is to invite the public into a universe that takes shape by isolating elements and activating them in a space reinvented by the artists.
Elma Riza and Laure Catugier, like bad housekeepers, have embarked on a major spring cleaning of the Retramp gallery. They have chosen to use the gallery as a space for their experiments, where objects and actions are inextricably linked through the prism of sabotage. The two artists share a common approach to performance art, which aims at the misappropriation of manufactured objects, with a strong preference for the geometry of forms.
To renew the exhibition space, they use domestic, salvaged, maintained or renovated objects. They stage these everyday objects in actions that border on the absurd, where each object loses its functionality at the expense of gesture, of imagination.




Solo show “FIGURENKNÄUELSz”- HOWTOKILLAGRAFFITI @Retramp
Written by katia on . Posted in Exhibitions, Last news: Exhibitions/Publications.
FIGURENKNÄUELSz – HOWTOKILLAGRAFFITI
Solo show from 9.04.2021 until 25.04.2021
We are happy to invite you to our first solo exhibition in 2021 of Berlin painter Howtokillagraffiti.
Having returned from Songzhuang, an art colony in China, where Howtokillagraffiti has been intensively working on practicing oil painting for six years, he now presents his newest works at “Figurenknäuelsz” – realized in his studio in 2020 and during his residency at Retramp Gallery in 2021; conceptualizing the themes of Body, Mind, and Machine. Sometimes figurative, sometimes abstract, Howtokillagraffiti’s works do not care about representing the real, the visible or a clear-cut narrative through color, but about human existence and the expression of emotions which are placed above the intellect.
Howtokillagraffiti works intuitively and has taken upon himself to bring the essence of his large-format, outdoor “Graffpainting” to the canvas. Using a mixed technique of oil paint and spray-paint on linen, the artist creates a unique imagery, conglomerating in fascinating “balls of figures” which take the viewer into a poetic world of surrealism and subconsciousness. Their strong expressionist vein will certainly not leave you untouched.

Naturartis
11 Art Works by 11 Artists Where Nature Plays a Role
Nature can be an object to examine closely or a place to walk into or to look at while passing by. Nature as plants and animals, flora and fauna, in relation to human being. Vegetation domesticated by humans as a park or a garden or landscapes as empty spaces to construct roads or habitations. And nature as a mysterious force.
Nature is an ongoing inspiring source and motif for visual arts, as for some artists of the Berlin Collectiv, and this in very different ways and with diverse media/techniques.
In the works by Alice Garik and Gary Brewer the vegetal seem to be observed in a closeup „scientific“ way, the constitution, the fibers and cells are pictured x-ray like in Garik’s „Iris Sparks“, with the Palladium technique on Japanese gampi paper. Fantastic creatures of nature abstracted in Gary Brewer’s painting recall digital imagery. The title „The emergence of form“ refers to the natural birth of something. Elena Lyakir’s photography „Fading memories“ of her series „City parks romance“ show us trees, in the middle of the woods – but a clipped panoramic view of soil and trunks – they seem to breath creating a lively structure. Malado Balwin’s oil on canvas „Travel painting“ shows trees next to a road or a railway, seen in passing by in the wintertime, without leaves. They seem static and lonely, vertical forms, while a large paintbrush in between creates the movement in the picture, giving the feeling of passing by. Javier Barrera juxtaposes flora, fauna and human in his mixed media aquatint etching „The messengers (MO)“, creating a portrait image of a hybrid of human and animal on a floral background. The photo montage „Amazon women“ by Nicole Cohen shows us a female shape from behind, like a ghost, dressed from another time; the figure is mysteriously rushing away on the path, absorbed in a park with green palms. The painter Gwen Kerber is catching the atmosphere and temperature of the plants and flowers in a garden through thick applied colorful paintbrushes in her painting „The Temperature of the Air II“. In Marcie Kaufman’s mixed media work „Crossroads“ and Paul Paiement’s work „Nexus-Gunnison2“ in Colorado, the divided and constructed landscape by humans are motifs for a surreal collage compositions. In Daniel Gigerly’s Video „Mirror“ a desolate empty landscape with lonely houses and old graves is the location for a mysterious scenery while the video work „Flood Wall“ by Valerie Fuchs is recreating a strong element of nature: water. Projected onto the full height of the 16 foot flood wall’s river side, the installation appears to reverse the intention of the flood wall, making a flood appear like a enlighten urban waterfall.

Photo exhibition “Works in Process” by Jürgen Große @Retramp Gallery, Berlin
Written by katia on . Posted in Exhibitions, Last news: Exhibitions/Publications.
“Works in Process”
Photography by Jürgen Große
Opening on Thursday, October 1, 2020 from 6 -10 pm
2.10.2020 – 25.10.2020, Thursday to Sunday, 3 – 7 pm
“Works in Process” at RETRAMP Gallery presents four photo series by the Berlin
based urban photographer Jürgen Große from October 2 to October 25, 2020 on the
occasion of the European Month of Photography 2020.
Curated by Katia Hermann and Verity Oberg. Graphic design by Akin Berlin.
Berlin, located in the center of Europe, has been growing and changing faster than any
other European city, especially since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Whether through new
constructions or renovations: construction sites are a part of Berlin’s identity. The
Berliner photographer Jürgen Große has been documenting the urban development of
Berlin with his analog camera for over 30 years. Though not defined as architectural
photography, Große’s work deals with architecture in its own terms, for example by
capturing the optical changes during phases of construction. In addition, the
photographer repeatedly deals with other random forms and structures of urban space,
as well as with “found objects” on the street. All of his photographic motifs have a life of
their own; they are structures of chance created by human hands, mostly unintentional
forms that are constantly in flux, photographically captured by Große in a certain state
and with a defined aesthetic.
His series of building facades captures dust nets, gauze and tarpaulins on the
scaffolding and its own process of change which, among other less predictable things,
is caused by both construction work and weather influences.
“60 yellow castles” is the theme of ready-mades with an object character that Jürgen
Große discovers on the street and on construction sites. Raised to a nobility, these
objects are connected to selected places by a yellow padlock on street posts.
Another series is dedicated to cultural advertising posters that are widely placarded in
Berlin, multiplying on columns and pillars every hour and thus swelling in size until they
can be considered sculptural objects, eventually removed by the city when they grow
too large.
In addition, Jürgen Große has been photographing a beverage warehouse and the
perpetually shifting arrangements of colourful crates on the banks of the Spree for
several years. The constantly changing arrangement of the stacked boxes results in
ever new color compositions.
An edition of the facade replica of the Schinkel Building Academy will be published for
the exhibition. C-Print 30x45cm, section of the original tarpaulin 30x45cm, 45x60cm.

LIVE PERFORMANCE by Kadir Amigo Memis @RETRAMP Gallery, Berlin
A collaboration between DJs from THE DUST, ARTERY IS, BROOKLYN WILDLIFE and Empire State Music & Arts Festival
Saturday, 29.08.2020, Berlin 6 pm-New York City 12 pm
Live Cam: Mischa Leinkauf
Music/Baglama: Nevzat Akpınar
Based on the origin of graffiti – “graffitare” – the artist and dancer Kadir Amigo Memis scratches signs, codes and calligraphies directly on the surface of the shop window, questioning their systemic relevance.
In his live performance, Amigo uses dance, paint and a carpet to address the limits of our perception. The traditional Anatolian patterns and codes of the handwoven carpet function as a narrative of classic stories.
