#5 Yvonne Roeb: Collages

Whether sculptures, drawings or collages Yvonne Roeb's works represent mutations from human, animal, plant and mineral worlds. They oscillate between the real and the unconscious and address the interaction between the created world and nature as well as their vulnerability and transience.
For the first time, the exhibition shows three blocks of works by Yvonne Roeb that deal solely with the medium of collage: "Dame Nature," 2016, "Erotic Plants," 2017, and "Organs," 2017 - 2020.
Roeb finds her motifs in her collection of historical books and journals on natural and animal history as well as art and cultural history. Here, the paper, its feel, and the type of printing are among the deciding factors for her in her selection. Through sometimes minute changes and additions, Roeb transforms universally valid forms and meanings. As in the Surrealism of the 1930s and 1940s, where this technique found its theoretical foundation and greatest currency, Roeb achieves startling effects. The deliberate alienation of the familiar and the addition of text fragments creates irritation, by which the viewer is on the one hand attracted, on the other hand rejected. Each individual collage unfolds a strong suggestive-mysterious power: Do they originate from scientific research, a spiritual context or our own dreams? Simultaneity of opposites, such as good and evil, the divine and the diabolical, is an important aspect of Yvonne Roeb's artistic work.

Born in Frankfurt a. M. in 1976, Yvonne Roeb studied art history and fine arts with Timm Ulrichs and Katharina Fritsch, whose master student she was. Her works are exhibited internationally and are represented in private and public collections. In addition to a number of awards, the Berlin-based artist will live and work in Paris in 2022 through a studio grant from the Hessische Kulturstiftung.

#4 Mirjana Vrbaški: Odd Time

The exhibition Odd Time brings together Mirjana Vrbaški award-winning portraits of women from the series Verses of Emptiness (since 2009) together with her new psychologically-charged forest landscapes from the series 7/8 (since 2017).

Mirjana Vrbaški's artistic practice is rooted in the photographic image as a palpable site for contemplation of complexity. Her series Verses of Emptiness consists of large-format portraits of women. In the seclusion of the studio, Vrbaški and her model work in silence and concentration to - as Vrbaški says: "peel away the model’s surface layers.” Against a neutral background, Vrbaški reduces her portraits to a minimum of visual elements until a strangely unsettling level is exposed. These contemporary and at the same time timeless depictions of women allow a glimpse into their inner being and still defy simple interpretation.

In her series 7/8, Mirjana Vrbaški reflects ideal ideas of landscape and its representations within art and cultural history. The series ties in with romantic notions of landscape and with cultural-historical and philosophical questions of the sublime. The forest photographs were taken off the Dalmatian coast on the island of Korčula. As a child, the artist often spent the summer months there with her family. When the civil wars broke out in Yugoslavia, these vacations ended as abruptly as her childhood. The aesthetic experience of the supposedly pure landscape representation tips over into unease with the knowledge of the history of the country and its significance for the artist. So the series 7/8 plays with different approaches to art, history and the biography of the artist. Due to their complexity, the photographs address archaic experiences such as those of war, uprooting and the inner place of happiness.

Mirjana Vrbaški’s first monograph Odd Time, released in May 2021 by Kerber Verlag, juxtaposes the two series in a fascinating evasive dialogue.

Mirjana Vrbaški (*1978 in Montreal) is a Serbian/Canadian lens-based artist. After obtaining a BA in Literature in Canada, Vrbaški turned to photography, graduating from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (2010). Her series Verses of Emptiness has received and been nominated for, among other, the Renaissance Photography Prize, the Taylor Wessing Photographic Prize and LensCulture Portrait Prize. Vrbaški has participated in international exhibitions at institutions such as Fotomuseum Den Haag (NL), Transformer Station Cleveland (USA), and Museum Kranenburgh (NL). She is represented in international private and public collections, including The National Portrait Gallery, Fries Museum and Transformer Station Cleveland. She lives and works in Berlin.

#3 Michelle Jezierski: Between the Lines

Michelle Jezierski's powerful works are dedicated to the exploration of light, space and color. Between abstraction and figuration, different spatial dimensions are interwoven and transformed into light-flooded, often graphically complex landscape compositions. In doing so, nature is both inspiration and starting point to negotiate questions of perception and spatial experience in the work. "Between the Lines" underscores Jezierski's interest in modeling pictorial space in its two-dimensionality in such a way that the spectacle of nature is staged like a folding of the picture plane.

Born in 1981 in Berlin, Michelle Jezierski studied from 2002 to 2005 at the Berlin University of the Arts with Tony Cragg as well as at the Cooper Union New York. In 2008 she graduated from the UdK with Valérie Favre. Her works have been exhibited internationally and are represented in private and public collections. Michelle Jezierski lives and works in Berlin.

#2 Paul Hutchinson: departure

In the exhibition Aufbruch Paul Hutchinson shows a compilation of recent works, which above all reflect his enduring interest in nature within urban space. Through targeted contextualisation he makes connections to the usual themes of his work, such as street culture and the question of social mobility. We encounter moments of fragility and poetry within a harsh environment. The motif of moving forward, of leaving, of leaving is present. Thanks to these visual worlds, Hutchinson represents an individual voice of our time that poses both political and formal questions to our society.

Paul Hutchinson (*1987 in Berlin, German / Irish citizen) studied at the Berlin University of the Arts and at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London. In his photographic work and in his texts he examines social phenomena of urban life such as youth culture or class structures.He has received grants and awards from the Berlinische Galerie, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the University of the Arts, among others. So far he has published four monographs. After several stations abroad he now lives and works again in his hometown, Berlin.
