SENSE OF PLACE brings together four artists whose practices overlap and incorporate video and film in diverse ways. The works selected for this exhibition, while equally diverse in approach, each explore the peculiar form of knowledge that comes from the attempt to know and understand a place – or from the failure to develop that sense – whether through geographical place, collective and individual memory, or within the place of the body itself. As we engage in this process, in which spatial awareness and self-awareness combine in some undisclosed contribution to consciousness, the reality we build resists and eludes unreality in that, ultimately, what we perceive is only an exclusively real. The works of these artists escape that limitation, relying on the unreal to sharpen focus and find the edges of our sense of the world in which we live and the selves from which we know it.
Curated by Samantha Sethi and Andy Holtin

Digitalisation is advancing rapidly in today’s world and contemporary art is changing alongside it. The use of digital media has made it much easier for viewers to interact directly with art. It’s clear to see that digitalisation has had a massive influence on our generation, and this is only set to increase in the future. Nevertheless, we cannot truly say that we feel completely at home in the digital world, despite being the first generation of Digital Natives. Our childhoods were still spent surrounded by natural, tangible things. Things that later had to compete with the influx of computers and other technical devices. Our values have been heavily impacted by these formative childhood experiences.
One goal of the exhibition is to bring together artists, for whom it is important to differentiate between physical, tangible materials and immaterial digital media. As international artists in Germany, we have learned to appreciate the value of concrete, real things. Working with physical materials is a raw, organic process which is indispensable for making art and it provides an exciting contrast to our constant, daily interaction with digital devices. The sixteen artists selected all concern themselves with specific, physical media. Marshall McLuhan said that materials are an extension of the human body, and in this way each artist is able to communicate between themselves and the chosen exhibition space.
Digital technology isn’t anything special for us. It has become the norm. Our bodies react when we are presented with real, physical materials – what is it that we gain from them? We believe that we belong to a generation challenged by the questions such as these.

Hands.on.matter: Paper and Plants
Bimonthly programme organized by Sandra Nicoline Nielsen and Tim van der Loo
Excitingly Hands.on.matter invites you to this 5th event. We will on the arrival of summer celebrate how flowers, plants and trees are blooming and growing. Looking deeper into these green matters you will find cellulose, which can be used as a source of material! At the end of this event we will try something new! We will see if we can make our own paper out of some of the kitchen waste and gardening leftovers we already find at home.
Julia Perera is invited to discuss how ancient production practices can guide us to circular/ sustainable innovation. Her “bast shoe” project will illustrate what thinkers such as the co-author of “Cradle to Cradle”, William McDonough, have hinted at already: Innovation can be found by looking backward.
Anton Richter showcases with his 100% Asparagus project how the inedible parts of asparagus are ideal for bowl making among others with its high degree of natural binding materials, as well as flexibility and stability.
Kanako Ishii hangs up her second largescale curtain painting at The Institute for Endotic Research as a part of this fifth hands.on.matter event. The imagery is found in the neighbouring Bohemian-Rixdorf garden.
The presentations will be followed by a hands-on workshop. Food and gardening leftovers serve as the input for beautiful paper making. Orange peels, nettle and hay among others will be used to experiment with different recipes.
Learn more about natural fibers – come and experiment with us!

0 ist der Farbwert für die Farbe Schwarz, 255 für die Farbe Weiß auf der RGB-Farbpalette: Die Gruppenausstellung »0+255« fasst Berliner Künstler_innen zusammen, die sich in ihrer Arbeitsweise auf Schwarz und Weiß beschränken. »0+255« soll abstrakte und gegenständliche Positionen zeigen, die sich auf unbunte Abstufungen begrenzen um dadurch eine prägnante Aussage zu machen. Zehn Künstler_innen, davon fünf Absolvent_innen der weißensee kunsthochschule berlin, zeigen ihre Arbeiten in extremer Gegensätzlichkeit als Malerei, Zeichnung, Druckgrafik, Installation, Skulptur, Fotografie, Video. In einem übergeordneten Sinne reflektiert die Gegenüberstellung starker Kontraste aktuelle politische und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen. Extreme Positionen stehen sich gegenüber und Grauzonen scheinen sukzessive verdrängt zu werden.
Die Ausstellung wird gefördert von: Bezirksamt Pankow von Berlin, Amt für Weiterbildung und Kultur, FB Kunst und Kultur; Hans und Charlotte Krull Stiftung; Botschaft des Großherzogtums Luxemburg in Deutschland

The first in a series of interventions by Kanako Ishii, titled “Re-Landscape” on February 22. The intervention will take the shape of a layering of curtains in TIER’s storefront window.

Donaustr. 84, 12043 Berlin

“Re-Landscape” is a long-term curtain project by Kanako Ishii that captures memories of views from windows that change as time goes on, through processes such as urban development, natural disaster, war damage or leaving one’s own place. In her ongoing intervention at The Institute for Endotic Research, Ishii’s curtains will be layered one after another in the storefront window to represent the four seasons. It will develop through a walk based on research about the neighborhood, especially regarding the history of the Bohemian refugees who fled to Rixdorf in the 18th century, and will eventually become a situated visual archive.

Solo exhibition “Re-Landscape”
Künstlerhaus Bethanien
Kottbusser Straße 10, 10999 Berlin
Opening on 24th May 2018, 7pm-10pm
from 25th May to 17th June 2018
Opening hour: Tuesday-Sunday 2pm-7pm
Kanako Ishii’s works are characterized by her engagement with metaphysical boundaries and apparent opposites – past and present, memory and forgetting, presence and absence. Her current work, a video istallation to be seen in Künstlerhaus Bethanien, is about timelessness. In an encounter with texts by German philosopher Walter Benjamin, Ishii develops a visual concentration of the subject, which is linked irrevocably to questions of memory and the relationship between present and past.
