Cyprien Gaillard: Where Nature Runs Riot
at Sprüth Magers Berlin
Berlin, Germany
May 02, 15 - Jul 18, 15

Where Nature Runs Riot is an exhibition of new work by Cyprien Gaillard. The core of the show is a major new film made by the artist over the last three years, and shot on locations in Berlin, Cleveland and Los Angeles. Through these locations, which have all featured in Gaillard's previous work, the artist reflects upon ideas and phenomena that have held his interest since the beginning of his artistic practice: the dis- and relocation of landmarks and vegetation, misguided urban planning and cultural vandalism, and the anachronisms that constitute the world around us. Combining an advanced film technology with a documentary visual language, Gaillard creates a hypnotic experience as a meditation on the dynamics of history. read more...

Rosa Barba: Inside a magnified Picture
at Meyer Riegger, Berlin
Berlin, Germany
May 01, 15 - Jun 20, 15

Meyer Riegger is pleased to present Inside a Magnified Picture, the first solo exhibition in the gallery of the Italian-German artist Rosa Barba. The work of Rosa Barba is based on radical experimentation with the medium of film, proposing a new language. Her pieces not only dissect cinema itself (celluloid, light, colour, sound, image, movement, time) but also fragment narration into different layers, implying a level of abstraction in which imagination and a conceptual approach play a decisive role. read more...

No Joke
at Tanya Leighton
Berlin, Germany
May 02, 15 - Jun 27, 15

It takes a degree of solipsism to be an artist. We gallerists, critics, and audience members frequently talk about an artist's vision - as if looking at an artwork could somehow be tantamount to slipping on a pair of glasses that let us see through the artist's eyes. We talk about getting lost in paintings, enveloping ourselves in a version of the world imagined by our society's arbiters of vision. read more...

Katharina Grosse: The Smoking Kid
at Johann König
Mitte - Berlin, Germany
May 02, 15 - Jun 21, 15

Over the Berlin Gallery Weekend 2015, the KÖNIG GALERIE takes great pleasure in opening its new gallery space in the St. Agnes Church, now reconstructed by Arno Brandlhuber, with an exhibition of work by Katharina Grosse. Katharina Grosse stands for colour-intensive, multi-layered, expansive painting, which moves into space, appropriates spaces or opens up spaces for the very first time. With the spray technique characteristic of her, the artist applies colour precisely not only to two-dimensional surfaces but also to undermaterials such as earth and plants, furniture, clothing and architecture. read more...

Keith Haring: The Political Line
at Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung
Munich, Germany
May 01, 15 - Aug 30, 15

In New York, during the conservatism of the Reagan era, Keith Haring (1958–1990) made it his mission to highlight social evils in his work. He took a clear stance against the excesses of capitalism and was committed to nuclear disarmament, environmental protection and equal rights for all, irrespective of ethnicity, skin colour, religion or sexual orientation. This retrospective focuses on the political and sociocritical aspects of Haring’s oeuvre, which have been somewhat overlooked in previous exhibitions. read more...
