Group : 10 Years Montez Press
,
Montez Press started in 2012 as an artist-led publisher. The name Montez draws from three iterations of the spirit of Lola Montez: a dancer, lover, stubborn and ambitious free spirit anticipating modern female self-determination in the nineteenth century. In the mid-twentieth century, Maria Montez—naming herself after Lola and known as the The Queen of Technicolor for her many roles in costume adventure films—was said to be a seductress and terrible actress, but gained cult status for her glamour. Lastly, it was Mario Montez—an underground trans actor, who became famous for roles in movies by Andy Warhol and Jack Smith—who named himself after Maria. Montez Press commissions and publishes experimental work by artists, writers and thinkers with a focus on queer and intersectional feminist practices through the lens of artists’ writing. We aim to disrupt current knowledge economies, to change and contribute to contemporary discourse, to…

Michael Hakimi : Click for Portfolio
,
The exhibition consists of three groups of works that almost completely fill the gallery space. Despite their visually very different effects and dimensions, a number of relationships emerge between them.
The backdrop and background of the exhibition is a wallpaper printed with larger-than-life cartoon characters that spills out onto the gallery floor. These are advertising figures that embody various works, services and goods. One occasionally sees this type of figure on craftsman cars or company signs. The motifs of the wallpaper are based on digitally traced photos. The extreme enlargement and skewing, makes their cuteness mutate into something like areas.
Across the wallpaper and the entire room, spread horizontally at eye level, a series of pencil drawings. On them are detailed street scenes. In the center there is usually one, sometimes several figures. They are often street vendors, but beggars, passers-by, and people waiting are…

Ellen Gronemeyer : Switch
,
Der Kiez ist gleich nebenan. Große Kaufha?user. Wir gehen in einen großen, vollen Laden, voll mit Halloweenstuss. Ich entdecke hinter der Theke etwas Besonderes. Ein kleiner Kasten aus rotem Plastik, in den man hineinsehen kann. Dort la?uft ein Film aus vielen aneinandergereihten Bildern. Ein Pinup, schwarz-weiß, mit einem Stuhl, eine Frau in einem 50er Jahre Kostu?m, dazu die passende Frisur. Aber das Bild ist undeutlich. Ich richte die Kamera auf und sehe, dass die Situation tatsa?chlich passiert auf einer Bu?hne und, dass der Kasten zwar die Illusion vermittelt, dass hier eine Bildabfolge gespeichert ist, tatsa?chlich handelt es sich aber um Realita?t, das, was wirklich passiert, und der Kasten ist nur die Mo?glichkeit eines Films, den es aber nicht gibt, weil es sich ja doch in echt abspielt.
Na?chste Szene: Der Kiez ist weg, es ist fru?her Abend, es da?mmert leicht, es ist Sommer, aber nicht zu warm. Ein Ha?userblock am Stadtrand,…

Chloe-Rose Purcell : Strange Signal
Malerei,
Chloe-Rose Purcell
Strange Signal
Being Wise in a Foolish World shows a strange and unsettling last supper dinner like party. With a cast of familiar beloved childhood characters, they are no longer in a world of lullabies and lollipops but instead in an adult world full of chaos and confusion. It depicts an innocence that has turned into reality.
Get well soon, points a finger at the primitive understanding around female birth control’s negative side effects on the mental health of women. Contrasting the liberty and choice they bring, the ignored metal health and overall well being of the woman is left out. It is marked simply as a possible side effect, not taken seriously and not taken into further consideration. Are feelings and thoughts still purely authentic, or are they in-fact, synthetic based emotions produced by fabricated hormones?
The Universe of the Uterus combines the universe of PMS, abortion, birth, miscarriages, mood-…

David Lieske : DRITTE AUSSTELLUNG FÜR PHOTOGRAPHISCHE ARBEITEN
Fotografie,
Galerie Karin Guenther is pleased to host the first solo exhibition of the conceptual artist David Lieske, who was born in Hamburg in 1979. After tenures in Tel Aviv and New York, Lieske now lives and works in Paris and Berlin. He is a co-initiator of a wide variety of collaborations, all of which he sees as part of his artistic practice. For example, he is the co-founder the Hamburg based label for electronic music Dial, the Mathew Galerie (Berlin/ New York) and the fashion magazine 299 792 458 M/S, as well as the tennis fashion label DL Courtwear.
Lieske uses a wide variety of artisanal and applied practices in his work, switching from producer to reviewer and repeatedly linking these levels with fragments of his own biography. None of his works can be viewed in isolation, but are systematically linked to his oeuvre as a whole in a variety of directions. His idiosyncratic exhibition- practice, which formulates itself in expansive…

Benjamin Edwin Slinger : A Medieval Choreography
,
Canary in a Coal Mine
Benjamin Slinger’s exhibition A Medieval Choreography at Karin Guenther centers around a series of collages made in the last year which juxtapose documentation of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike in northern England and Lord of the Rings merchandise. Both belong to a collective history, but also harken back to stories from the artist’s childhood: J.R.R. Tolkien’s tales and those which Slinger’s grandfather, who left the police force at the time, told about the strikes. In pairing Lord of the Rings jigsaw puzzles, postage stamps and pins with pages torn from The Miners’ Strike 1984-85 in Pictures and the Support the Miners postcards printed at the time, Slinger intervenes in the circulation of these images and considers the stakes of that flow. Inscribed in a lineage of art informed by class consciousness, these works also provide a timely reflection on division in the UK in the wake of Brexit.
The traumatic divisiveness of…
