New documentary on Andreas Gursky

Now available on DVD and Vimeo on demand

 

The filmmaker Ralph Goertz accompanied Andreas Gursky for eight years with his camera in his studio, while taking photographs, in his class at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, while setting up his exhibition at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen and at his first retrospective at the Hayward Gallery in London.

 

The film traces Gursky's artistic process and provides deep insights into the work of this exceptional artist, from his beginnings in 1977 at the Folkwangschule in Essen, to his move to the Becher class at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 1980 and his first free artistic works. Since the 1980s, he has continuously developed his work from analogue to digital photography, creating his own visual worlds in the process. In the film, Gursky and Goertz talk about his working methods, the artist's approach to the medium of photography and his often cited proximity to painting.

 

Watch the film here!

 

The film is now available on Vimeo on demand (German with English subtitles). The DVD will be available at bookshops by Walther and Franz König!

Bodies, Grids and Ecstasy in KAI 10

November 1, 2023 – April 20, 2024

KAI 10 Arthena Foundation

 

Margret Eicher, Beate Gütschow, Verena Issel, Inna Levinson, Roy Mordechay, Katja Novitskova, Pavel Pepperstein, Pieter Schoolwerth, Lena Schramm

 

What becomes of physical reality in a world that is increasingly pervaded by digital processes? Exploring this question, the exhibition confronts us with surprising encounters – and contradictions – between surface and space, abstraction and matter, reality and fiction. We come across images, objects and sculptures in which things come together or are pieced together that as such are not compatible – in other words, collages with invisible seams.

 

The exhibition shows various artistic paths that lead away from the gridded flatland of a computer screen, a sheet of paper or a wall, back into a world of haptic, corporeal experience and narration. These might run in straight lines that take an unusual course or be convoluted, humorous and enigmatic. Included here may also be a subtle or direct critique of digital capitalism.

Havîn Al-Sîndy: A picture of a gateway

with Eva Busch, Bariş Seyitvan, Sinthujan Varatharajah, Students, Mariane Verbecq & Milena Cestao, Leyla Toprak, Johab Silva, Heike Dempster

September 16 – Oktober 29, 2023

Neuer Kunstraum Duesseldorf


What happens to an architecture that must be abandoned? What happens in the necessary re-encounter with it?
The multi-part work A Picture of a Gate brings together two concrete physical places that are geographically distant from each other, yet they are set for an encounter than transcends their perceived boundaries.
Our memory is fragile, fragmented and manipulative. Knowing this, a question arises: what does solidarity in memory mean in moments like these? How does memory change through its de-location or its insertion into a new context. What space can such memories occupy in a country like Germany?
The work is divided into several elements that come together in an installation of sculpture and drawings, video works, and a live performance with 260 students from NRW.

Ludwiggalerie Schloss Oberhausen and IKS enter into cooperation
UK Women - British Photography between Social Criticism and Identity

28 photographic positions from the United Kingdom

26 May 2024 until 15 Sep 2024


For the first time, the exhibition focuses on photographic positions of 28 women photographers from the United Kingdom and shows how the medium of photography has developed since the 1970s.

With strong themes such as social critique, migration, gender identity, community and diversity, British women photographers have been campaigning for equality since the 1970s, but also for their own artistic language. They question British traditions and outdated role clichés. With humour and self-irony, they simultaneously draw a vivid and sensitive picture of a society in upheaval. In doing so, they repeatedly place themselves at the centre of their own artistic practice and self-confidently formulate their claim to equality.

 

With "UK Women", Ludwiggalerie Schloss Oberhausen and IKS PHOTO are entering into their first cooperation. We are looking forward to this wonderful collaboration! The exhibition is curated by Ralph Goertz.

Rafał Milach at Museum Folkwang

RAFAŁ MILACH

The Archive of Public Protests

22. Sep 2023 – 01. Jan 2024

 

Rafał Milach (b. 1978) is the initiator and co-founder of the 2019 collective The Archive of Public Protests, or A-P-P for short. The collective was founded as a reaction to the restrictions on the freedom of expression and the rule of law in Poland by the national conservative national conservative party PiS. The 18 photographers, activists and theoreticians who are currently involved theorists are recording the protests, which have since intensified, and are making their photographs and their photographs and texts for free use, in order to counteract the reporting of government-related media with their own images and their own images and narratives. In addition to restrictions on the freedom of the press, further topics include the ban on abortions, refugee and climate policy, Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

The Museum Folkwang presents thirteen photographs and four slogans as wallpapers, thus transferring the manifestations of public space into the museum.

Cornelius Völker
31.8.2023 - 7.1.2024

 

Whether lighter, leaf or lips, or heroin, heart or hands – as diverse as the motifs in Cornelius Völker’s (*1965) oeuvre are: the artist’s spirited and vividly coloured style of painting, often exploring familiar and everyday subjects shown in a new light, has always been characteristic of his work. Time and again, also objects generally deemed hardly worthy of painting find their way into Völker’s art.


For our new format "IKS meets", Isabel Hernandez visited the exhibition at the Kunstpalast.

Simone Nieweg at The Photography Collection Cologne

Simone Nieweg – Plants, Sheds, Arable Land: Working in Nature

Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur, Cologne

September 8, 2023 – January 21, 2024

 

The photographs of Simone Nieweg show discoveries made in the landscape of intriguing objects both natural and human-made.

 

For the master student Simone Nieweg (b. 1962) in Bernd Becher’s class at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, the view of nature and the arable land created by human hand formed important starting points for her artistic work back in the 1980s. Even then, she was already preoccupied by urgent questions about how we treat our natural resources. Her color photographs, which Nieweg shoots in the Rhineland and other regions of Germany as well as in France using a large-format camera, draw our attention to the often overlooked outskirts of towns and industrial areas. They highlight the aesthetic qualities that unfold when these still un-zoned areas are cultivated in a limited fashion, usually upon individual initiative, for gardening or agriculture. Elements that give the land structure and continuity are captured here: alternative allotment gardens, future building land, patches of meadow, fields going to seed with wild vegetation, vegetable beds, plowed fields in winter, or blossoming fruit trees as harbingers of spring. Structures built by simple means, whether sheds or compost racks, reveal themselves to be typical components of their particular landscapes.

Eyes of the World presents a comprehensive overview of her works from the last 10 years and includes a number of new pieces.

Novitskova’s concern is with digital images of nature and their influence on the way we perceive the world. She explores imaging techniques and their use in art, science and society. Her work is based on ongoing investigation of current research in biotechnology and revolves around the question of the future continuity of the organic as a component of technological processes.

13 Aug 2023 - 14 Jan 2024

 

The Philara Collection is delighted to present two internationally renowned artists in the exhibition SEE YOURSELF AS LOVERS SEE YOU: William N. Copley and Dorothy Iannone. For the first time, the works of the two artists, who exhibited in 1993 under the title BERLINER AMERIKANER (together with the Fluxus artist Emmett Williams) at the Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin, will be shown in juxtaposition.

The new exhibition at Philara focuses on freedom, self-determination, and the ecstasy of physical love; it highlights the interconnections and differences in the work of both artists, Americans whose careers developed in Europe and who continued to produce remarkably comprehensive bodies of work right up to the end of their lives.

Front Page Back End

13 Aug - 1 Oct 2023

 

The Philara Collection is pleased to present FRONT PAGE BACK END, a selection of photographs by Sebastian Riemer. This exhibition shows works from his Press Paintings series, which focuses on retouched press photos from 1950s America and references the canon of characters featured in the popular press of that era. These photographs raise questions on the inclusion and exclusion of images in the media, and on the economy of image processing, where similar criteria still apply today.

Sebastian Riemer (*1982 Oberhausen) studied under Thomas Ruff and Christopher Williams at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 2010 he received his Master Student qualification from Thomas Ruff.

IKS produces film formats for Fridericianum Kassel

TAUBA AUERBACH
TIDE

15 July 2023 – 14 January 2024

 

Tauba Auerbach, born in 1981 in San Francisco and now living in New York, traces the visible and invisible patterns, structures, and rhythms that shape our universe. In addition, Auerbach’s artistic gaze is oriented toward the microcosmic and macrocosmic that constitute the complexity of being. To this end, the artist explores various scientific disciplines, such as mathematics, physics, anatomy, linguistics, and philosophy, while often adopting their rules and methods in an unconventional, willful manner. A special focus of interest lies in those areas that cannot be clearly measured, ascribed, or explained. Ambiguities, interstices, and borderline phenomena are thus recurring themes. Auerbach’s works, featuring paintings, drawings, weavings, films, artist’s books, typography, and sculptures, can be seen as sensitive associations to this artistic research.

The show at the Fridericianum features new works, some developed especially for Kassel, which are complemented by site-specifically staged older works.

IKS produces trailer for Kunsthalle Duesseldorf
The inescapable interweaving of all lives

Keltie Ferris / Ilse Henin / Hayv Kahraman / Gisela McDaniel / Soraya Sharghi / Emma Talbot

24 June - 17 September 2023


Starting with the works of Ilse Henin, the exhibition weaves a net to the five younger contemporary positions. They are united by the interweaving of supposedly classical motifs read as feminine, but they have all developed them into completely different subjects.


"Femininity" as a motif is placed in a contemporary context. The woman is no longer a beautiful accessory or projection surface of the male gaze, but the main figure and identity bearer of the work. Women, as individual figures, in groups or as part of a family or tribe, stand up for themselves and for all those they represent. They are strong, self-determined heroes of a new narrative of femininity, aware of their position. At the same time, classical notions of femininity and masculinity are questioned.

I’ve Only Got Eyes For You

Sammlung Philara

25 March  – 01.October 2023

 

In its new exhibition, I’ve Only Got Eyes for You, the Philara Collection is pleased to present a selection of recent acquisitions.

The artists featured use collage, painting, sculpture and photography for figurative representations that address both personal and wider societal issues. With and within these works, they explore and extend definitions of the portrait.

 

Through moments of recollecting the past and looking ahead to the future, they help us navigate the present. The debate on our roles and self-location against the background of digital realities and social conditions is multi-layered and complex. The focus of the artists in the exhibition ranges across themes of visibility and representation, and discourses on decoloniality and post-humanity, meeting these challenges with images that seek to make our reality more bearable.

13 Mornings

KIT - Kunst im Tunnel

04.03.–04.06.202

 

In 13 Morgen, a story opens up into the room like a book and forms a bracket for further strands, thoughts and perspectives. Chapters, worlds and sceneries can be passed through in indeterminate order, stand side by side and in relation to each other and unfold their images in the viewer's consciousness. 13 "chapters" as 13 walk-in stations invite visitors to read, listen, linger, think and reflect.

 

Similar to a reading room, a library or a quiet garden, a space of silence and concentration is to be created in the architecture of the KIT, an illuminated space under the ground that is always at the same temperature, as if we were in the belly of a ship.

 

In addition to their architectural reference, all stations are symbolically assigned to a year: in the past, the present and the future - spanning 100 years.

Peter Piller at Kunsthalle Duesseldorf

there are a couple of things that bother me
11 March – 4 June 2023

 

In spring 2023, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf will present the first survey exhibition in the Rhineland by the German artist Peter Piller (* 1968 in Fritzlar), who has been a professor at the nearby Kunstakademie Düsseldorf since 2018, where he heads the class for fine arts.

 

While still studying in Hamburg, Piller began his work on the Archiv Peter Piller, in which thousands of images and photos that he meticulously collected from existing sources, such as magazines, the internet, postcards or aerial photographs, are ordered, categorised and compiled into series. The most important working tools are always a precise power of observation and a subtle sense of humour, which enable Piller to discover serial, curious and unusual elements in highly banal and trivial-seeming images and to relate them to others. This is how, for example, the aerial photo archive of erde schöner, based on 20,000 aerial photos and categorised into 23 series, was created, on which Piller worked since 2002.

 

The exhibition shows many of his series, especially those rarely or never shown before since the 1990s, and places them in new contexts in the three large exhibition rooms.

Evelyn Richter

Kunstpalast Düsseldorf

22 Sept 2022 – 8 Jan 2023


In the new series "IKS meets", the IKS presents highlights of the exhibition and art scene with a focus on Northern Westfalia.

The first in the series is the exhibition "Evelyn Richter", which was on show at the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf from 22.9.2022 - 8.1.2023.

 

In a creative period spanning more than 50 years, Richter documented East German life worlds as critically as she did empathetically, always placing people at the centre of her observations.
This is the first comprehensive presentation of Richter's oeuvre in a museum in West Germany. The show presents all of the artist's central groups of works from the beginnings of her career to the turn of the millennium, including series on exhibition visitors in museums from Moscow to Cologne, on artists and especially musicians in action, on people in transit, in trains and suburban trains, as well as on the theme of work, with Richter focusing in particular on women and apprentices.
