"Ein Pfund Orangen" - so lautet der Titel der 1926 entstandenen Erzählung von Marieluise Fleißer, welche die Beziehung zwischen einem jungen Mädchen und einem älteren Mann thematisiert, an deren Ende der Suizid der Protagonistin steht.  Die Ausstellung mit dem gleichnamigen Titel präsentiert Arbeiten von Künstlern, die sich mit den bei Fleißer gezeigten Machtstrukturen zwischen Mann und Frau befassen und diese kritisch hinterfragen.

Noch bis 28.6. ist Sophie Reinhold in Paris bei Sundogs mit der Ausstellung "The Ballad of the Lost Hops" zu sehen.

Galleries ShanghART and Waldburger Wouters are pleased to announce “Drifting Along”, a solo exhibition by Chinese artist Chen Wei at their joint project space Buero Basel.
An intimate exhibition will display the final chapter of the artist’s photography and installation works dealing with people and spaces in metropolitan nightlife, a series the artist has been working on over the past six years. Chen Wei builds life-sized stage sets, employing light and colours, then constructs a narrative environment with blurred spatial boundaries. Depicted nightclub scenes in the artist’s works are always permeated with dampness - with vague chronology - and atmospheres reveal a strong sense of immediacy. During the shooting of Disco (nr #1001, #1005, #1006 in the exhibition), Chen Wei directed young urban people to embody being inebriated on the dance floor, thus capturing their body movements disappearing into the sound wave, as well as their mental state of forlornness and confusion. When human figures are invisible, like in Dance Hall Series (set of 8), the artist fills the pictures with objects: the disco ball on the empty dance floor, the iridescent mosaic wall, the cold glowing mirror, and the neon lights displaying intermittent advertising. All the scenes in his photography seem like a pantomime of revelry ready to start, but also like a group portrait of the exhaustion and hollowness after urban nightlife ends.

This exhibition presents archival material touching on the origins and life of The International Journal alongside contemporary artworks, bringing together themes central to both psychoanalysis and art: translation, transformation, temporality, the unconscious, metaphor and dreams. The artworks address these ideas, creating a conversation that reverberates throughout the evocative rooms of the Freud Museum. The archival presentation explores the prehistory of the journal, the hidden role of women in its early years, its beginnings and connections with the Bloomsbury Group, and the influence of classical art and culture on Freud’s ideas and the visual identity of the International Journal.

Erstmals werden in der Kirche St. Paul als bewährtem Standort für zeitgenössische Kunst sechs renommierte, international tätige Künstlerinnen in einer Gruppenausstellung präsentiert. Ursächlich für die Idee, der künstlerischen Stimme von Frauen einen Raum zu geben, ist das mit dem hl. Apostel Paulus in Verbindung stehende Wort von der „in der Kirche zu schweigen habenden Frau.“Auf dieses knapp zwei Jahrtausende geltende Diktum, das die Möglichkeiten von Frauen stark geprägt hat, reagieren die Künstlerinnen in großformatigen, skulpturalen und installativen Werken. In sehr unterschiedlicher und vielfältiger Weise positionieren sich Birthe Blauth, Patricija Gilyte, Sarah Lehnerer, Nina Annabelle Märkl, Lorena Herrera Rashid, Susanne Wagner innerhalb dieses innovativen Ausstellungsprojektes. Ihre Arbeiten, die sie explizit für die Ausstellung geschaffen haben, hinterfragen kirchliche und gesellschaftliche Rollenbilder und treten in künstlerischen Dialog mit der neugotischen Architektur und der Ornamentik des Kirchenraumes. Es entstehen raumgreifende Interventionen, die individuelle und spannende Positionen der sechs ausgewählten Künstlerinnen reflektieren.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus, the Kestner Gesellschaft is presenting a solo exhibition by the Polish-British artist Goshka Macuga (*1967 in Warsaw, lives and works in London). In her work, Macuga questions historiography, especially key ideas of modernism such as a belief in progress, authorship, and utopia. In detective-like research, she finds breaks, pitfalls, and ambiguities in a supposedly linear narrative.

The German creator of sculptures and drawings, born in Oldenburg, is one of the most important contemporary artists. In April 2016, Thomas Schütte opened his Skulpturenhalle in Neuss — the exhibition space serves exclusively for the presentation of contemporary sculpture and for the storage for his own works. His artistic output also encompasses watercolors, drawings, wood constructions, and models, as well as installations, such as Haus für Terroristen, which is being planned for the ground floor of Kunsthaus Bregenz.

Begeistert von dem Wiedererstarken der Malerei in Deutschland schrieb Hans Kaiser in seinem Todesjahr 1982 die "Hymne an die Jungen". Mit ihrem Schaffen, das er abseits der Mode wähnte, bedeuteten die jungen Künstler ihm "ein Stück Glück". Kaisers Hymne aufgreifend, wirft die Ausstellung einen Blick auf die heutigen „Jungen“. Versammelt sind sechs Künstlerinnen und Künstler, deren Anliegen auch gegen den Trend zuallererst die Kunst selbst ist. In der Zusammenschau wird Kaisers vielfältiges Werk mit unterschiedlichen Positionen gegenwärtigen Kunstschaffens konfrontiert.

The Triennial was born in Fellbach in 1980 as a forum of contemporary small-scale sculpture. Every three years the Small Sculpture Triennial presents contemporary sculptures by international artists on 3000m² of exhibition space.

The exhibition „24 heures à Hanoï“ deals with the literary traditions of Hanoi. Thu van Tran devotes herself 82 turtles which guard the poetic heritage at the „Temple de la Littérature à Hanoï“. Thu Van Tran transforms these animal symbols in wax sculptures. Further the artist shows an essayistic film and a fresco. The artworks introduce into the questions of the aesthetic experiences as modalities which allow a correction of history.

Hey Psycho! In coopertaion with Douglas Gordon Florian Süssmayr shows works at the Arsenale Institute for Politics of Representation from 8th May 2019 in Venice.

The artist uses the architectural space to fold together visual, sound and tactile elements in order to generate new interpretations of history and new possibilities within an emancipatory vision of language and culture. Specifically designed for the spaces on the third floor of the Castello, this large exhibition project brings together some of the most significant filmic works created by the artist in recent years.

Mit dem Aus­stellungs­projekt »Jetzt! Junge Malerei in Deutschland« unternehmen das Kunstmuseum Bonn, das Museum Wiesbaden, die Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz – Museum Gunzenhauser und die Deichtorhallen Hamburg den Versuch, den aktuellen Stand des Mediums zu bestimmen. Ziel ist es, einen gültigen Querschnitt durch die junge in Deutschland pro­duzierte Malerei zu geben und dabei all ihre Erscheinungs­formen zu berück­sichtigen.

From 12 April until 6 October 2019, the Hilti Art Foundation is presenting works of the German artist Thomas Struth (* 1954) from its collection that focus on civilisation and nature, technology and culture.

Sensual surfaces seduce the eye, inviting the viewer to simply enjoy. Karin Kneffel paints canvasses that exert a magical attraction. Her realist painting draws the viewer into sophisticated visual worlds in which her skillful arrangement of formal ornaments and the interplay of colors blend into an optical fireworks display. However, the works retain a secretive aloofness, as if the perfect, inviting, yet sealed-off surface is deliberately preventing a closer look.
