Join us on Tuesday October 30, 18:00 at Liegenschaft for an open studio night with artist in residence Taylor Raye. Raye’s work explores the concepts of dreams and memory. From homes to figures, the subject matter in Raye’s work represents shells, which we depend on for physical and psychological protection. The abstractions in the work create a sense of place that is simultaneously whimsical and ominous: equally as dreamy as it is nightmarish. The distortion of form is also a reference to the warping of experience over time, and aims to capture the ephemeral quality of dreams and memory. We look forward to seeing you there!

My current practice functions as a dance with vestiges of the physical world, which are quite literally taken and imprisoned into the studio. The city gives daily birth to objects of unimportance and obsolescence. Articles spawned in the consumer and material worlds live terminable lives of fleeting value. This cycle of emergence and departure seen in manmade items and structures continually presents strange opportunities for creation and renewal. My dance begins at their point of departure, forcing a farewell between items and their function, to be rediscovered under the terms of my personal value. In this particular body of work, posters and advertisements are the material subject, which themselves glow with marks of time and location. Their identity, at the fate of the exterior environment, is constantly changing and vying for attention in a finite and bleak existence. Working with such materials opens a dialogue that extends beyond myself, granting the objects themselves a power that I must negotiate with and respond to. This introduction of materials that have their own story to tell has always allowed me with entry into a spontaneous time and place to operate in. My work exists both in and out of the public world, and it is the separation of the two that yields their oscillating value. Histories of objects are extended through my process, forcing a collision of unrehearsed voices.

We are pleased to announce the open studio by the Korean Artist, Kang, Byung Sub at Liegenschaft. If you don't have any special plan on the third advent day, the 17th December, we suggest you to take a virtual city walk through New York and Seoul at his studio, Liegenschaft, Stuttgarter Straße 13, Berlin Neukölln.
In addition, we are going to open a mini market with clothes, Korean ceramics as well! yuhoooooo!
Don't worry, we have also Korean rice rolls with citrus tea (yujacha). Come around and have a merry short trip with us! We'll wait for you there!
17th Sunday: 13:00-19:00
18th Monday: 15:00-19:00
A surprising present of the artist for the 77th guest who will enter his open studio await you all. We are excited to see who will grab the luck!
About artist, Kang, Byung Seob;
Kang, Byung Sub (*1988, based in Seoul) is the resident of our fourth Art Berlin Now Program at the Institut für Alles Mögliche. His paintings mainly deal with the city life. Committed to capturing the moments of daily life in the cities like New York, Seoul, now Berlin, Kang minimizes details and shadings and concentrates on colorizing his view and feelings with the colours of Korean powder. With his strategic swipes of the brush and Korean powder colours he transforms his view of cities into a certain moment of Korean warmness and brightness. Whether from afar or close up, whether on an empty street or across a crowded room, he captures the surprise, the desire and pleasure, that accompany the experience of spectatorship.

// Contemporary Ruins as Common Objects //
Second part: Serial Ruins
After the first part of the project "From Stimulation to Simulation", Studio La Cube is presenting a second part - “Serial Ruins”.
Since the uniqueness of waste construction material pieces found on streets was the basis of creating new objects in part #1 (that was presented at Zentrale in September), the idea of part #2 is to transform this concept and work with the copy and reproduction of the ruin following a serial production.
"Our idea is to work precisely with the idea of copying a ruin. On part#1 we tried to relate the image of old ruins to contemporary ones and point its contrast. But this time we were inspired by Renaissance when artists copied antique art from Greece and Rome. They were coping ruins and did it always in white (consciously or not), while in Antique times buildings and sculptures used to be colorful. They used white marble in sculptures and buildings and it became the symbol of classicism, its elegance and nobility. We found this idea not only funny, but also meaningful: we have constructed a great symbol of occidental culture, as the concept and idea of classic and classicism, based on a wrong copy, and it had constructed an incorrected (but despite everything fundamental) aesthetics of our culture.
Also, we wanted to transform the idea we were working with in the part#1: uniqueness of broken pieces. This way of working is a part of our methodology and making process: once a strong concept is settled, our aim is to continue by playing with it, trying to think what can we do with its opposite or related concepts, and what happens if we stretch the original idea to a new way. In this case, we swapped from the uniqueness to serial copies and annulment of their uniqueness. This was the key and the main reason of its beauty, and changing it allows us to create a new one, based on absurdity and unexpected creation of many of our cultural constructions".

Amalia Valdés and Juan Pablo Nazar open their workspace to show and share what they have been researching and developing, during the last six month on the residence at Liegenschaft, in the Institut für Alles Mögliche.
It is their last Open Studio, where they continues exploring with the space and different materials in order to examine concepts like reality or fiction, perception and intuition.
At the same time, they are also sharing the space with their neighbour Maja Björk and her illustrations of everyday life and situations you commonly find yourself in. She also present the latest clothes collection from the collaborative brand Bim & Björk.

For this first open studio in Berlin, we present projects we have been working on, while residing in the Institut Für Alles Mögliche.
We invite the public to observe, know and appreciate different ways of doing like photography, collage, installations, objects and site-specific among others. For this occasion we have worked in a particular way with the space defined by the residence and what this place bring us, exploring from different concepts like reality or fiction, perception and intuition. The main idea for this evening is to share exchanging ideas and visiting our working space to get closer to our creation process and techniques.

"Over the last month I have been exploring the philosophical and spatial state of time, dark matter, energy, gravity, and surface tension, discovering what happens when you give these elusive ideas a physical presence.
How do we harness dark matter? What does the slowing and sagging of time look like? How do we perceive not only the world around us, but also what we are looking for?
Please join me on Thursday October 27th as I open my studio for viewing current projects including drawings, installations and sculptures of the interactive relationships between what is visible and what is not."

The topics of my paintings are actually variations on the internal feeling of a human being, an individual, a creature in the dehumanised urban environment. They’re sketches of situations, scenes, thoughts, yet they’re not expressed in a straightforward manner, but on a sort of second level. Essentially, I’m a figuralist painter. My works always include certain beings, creatures, animals or their shadows. More or less concrete, sometimes only suspected. The world of phantoms and myths is more real than reality.
I perceive the creatures that live with us there; I listen to their voices, especially in the night. Urban architecture amazes me. At a certain point, amidst the nocturnal housing estate, there is suddenly a moment of silence – as though everything has died. It’s a metaphysical feeling.
I am always interested in the so-called: mixed media. I like experimenting with different materials, with their contrast, bonding and hybridization...
On my current residency in Institut für Alles Mögliche Im present my new project „Animal vs. City“. Im looking for themes and topics, that are concerning ecological and environmental problems.
I find inspiration in the atmosphere of the night and the world of animals such as wolves and ravens. I work with my personal mythology - symbols of life, transformation, death...
In previous years we have not been very „nature friendly“. We forget, we are part of it. We are selfish. We do not respect animals and nature, but we make it adapt to us, especially wild animals.
Every country, even cities, are known by the wild animals who have been living there naturally. Foxes in London, badgers in Vienna... I think the Berlin bear is known by everyone. The last „Berlin bear“ Schnute died last year. She lived under terrible conditions, because the city decided to have its symbol alive.
I am creating dynamic compositions connecting these animals in contrast to urban (Berlin) architecture. Animals, who have been living in the city and also their ghosts.
I prepared a special light installation. The viewer will attend a special night mystic life.
Olga Pastekova (1984) graduated on the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava (Slovakia) and has also studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts (Austria). Her works can be find at the number of exhibitions, not only in Slovakia, but also in Czech Republic, Austria or London. Olga was looking for herself in various branches of art through graphics, video or installation and finally, her "existential media" has become a painting. Her work is dominated by dark colors and atmosphere of the night. She debuted successfully in the 2006 by cycle "Night Walker" and her last solo exhibition is “...she took a basket and set out to the woods...".

INTERPRETATIONS OF THE FACE OF CHRIST

Jonathan Byrne is an Irish painter who has been working for two years to produce a modern image of the Face of Christ using oil painting techniques. The idea was to have an indistinct image that might appear and disappear using the translucency of oil paint.
This process has been documented on the website: www.reedeemer.com
And now, with the satisfactory base image, he has produced a range of highly-graphic digital overlays.
What is the need for a new image of the Face of Christ.
The more modern images that have been popularised are either like a graphic cartoon or else they are so hyper-realistic and sweet, like kitsch objects. The subject matter of the Face of Christ is very important and deserves a fresh approach that combines respect for the subject matter with traditional painting techniques and then combining this with new techniques for digital enhancement and colouring

"Purzelbaum Blaublau says a lot about what I'm looking for lately. And that is, mostly, making relations between things that don't go together. Things that happened somewhere overtime and has been forgotten, event though it changed the way to look at them. There's an interaction with the world, of accidentally turning things up and messing it all to see what to drag out of it. To work the improbable. To value mistakes, difficulty, vulnerability." - Camile Sproesser

"Material Research: No Light Without Darkness"
Having only recently graduated from University, I have used my time in Berlin to experiment with new materials and mediums, and used action research to develop and expand my practice. Painting and ceramics were two areas I never studied while at University, so I saw this as an opportunity to explore these mediums. Without having an exact idea or theme in mind, it became evident that I was playing with the balance of light and dark in my paintings, and continuing with previous themes in my work of repetition and difference, material difference, and binary opposites.
This open studio will allow visitors to see the research, experiments, and processes that occur during a residency at the Liegenschaft.

Nick Gauci is an Australian artist currently based in Berlin at the Intitute für Alles Mogliche residency program. Gauci's practice spans painting, ceramics and textiles, exploring ideas of gender, sexuality and identity.
The notion of the "straight acting" gay male has seen a reverence of a hyper male aesthetic throughout the gay scene and queer identities often becoming the subject of cyber bullying. Spaces of inclusion have become spaces of exclusion. This series questions both the degradation of femininity and the fragility of masculinity as we seem to be reverting back to the gender binaries that the queer community faught hard to free themselves from.
To subvert these masculine and feminine binaries, Gauci uses methods such as embroidery and crocheting that has been known traditionally as "women's work". This technique has been combined with text that highlights the hyper masculine culture and homophobia that occurs within queer community.

A Fool’s Paradise is the illusion we are consumed with that allows us to ignore any potential trouble in our existence and prolongs a state of happiness. The artist has interpreted this with the fleeting moments of realisation that this is not always the case, represented in the form of disembodied figures that reoccur throughout the works.

Upasana Sarraju is an Indian artist and writer currently in residence at the Liegenschaft, IAM.
Her residency focuses on the exploring the complex association between words and silence. Their natures remain infinitely powerful in their absolute, mutually-exclusive forms even as the immersion of oneself in either only reveals the depth and beauty of the other. To represent this exploration and her artistic journey so far, she presents two pieces of work at her studio: a short dramatic performance on Oct 1, and an exhibition of a series of humourous letters from Oct 1-3. |

You want to dance but you have never danced before?
You want to move and explore an Outer Body Journey? The Mindora Workshop is an immersion in movement and contemporary dance that will put you in sync with your body. The Workshop teaches the fundamentals of breathing, contact release, and contemporary dance technique. You will gravitate in space and be able to explore new ways of expressing your voice and body. The Workshop is ideal for beginners with no previous knowledge in dance and seasoned dance professionals alike. The Workshop will take place at the THE LIEGENSCHAFT NEUKÖLLN. The Kick Off will take place on Wednesday 20th May and the Workshop will culminate in a Public Show on Friday 12th June. During the Kick Off the attendees will be briefed and evaluated. Looking forward to embarking with you on this Outer Body Journey! |
