AREA A is pleased to host 

"Still Life 01"
artwork by Laura Tack
performance by Whitney Vangrin

presented by Künstler, Künstlerin
curated by Max Guerin and Alexander Norton

Still Life is a series of exhibitions combining performance with physical art works and installations.  We are collaborating with Area A, a project space based in Friedenau. With this series we curate two artists to show work in tandem with one another, creating conversations between the two. We ask the question, what is Still Life? But also – Is this still life? 



We will be having Whitney Vangrin performing besides Laura Tack’s paintings on the walls. These art works will produce conversations around the nature of Still Life and whether or not we have a life that is still life.



Doors open at 7 for general viewing and the performance begins at 9. The opening finishes at 10:00.
 Admission Free

_________
Whitney Vangrin is an artist living in New York, working across mediums with an emphasis in performance and sculpture. Equal parts physical and psychological, her performances question perceptions of authenticity, creating works that hinge upon reality and simulation while making allusions to film, ritual, and folk traditions.
Vangrin's performances contained nods to highly stylized cinematic forms and channel the performances of the iconic heroines found in the genres of science fiction, thriller, drama and horror. Each performance wavers between sincerity and melodrama, pursuing a desire to blur the lines between representation and life. Vangrin seeks to embrace the ambiguities that exist between being and wanting to be, and the rich production of myth and image that comes from that.

_________
Laura Tack (BE) is a queer painter and sound artist currently living and working between Gent (BE) and Seydisfjordur (IS)
The Woman are Flowers series and Still Life Flowers series are made during her time in a friends house in Gent and a psychotherapeutic center in Bruges.
These series carry the intensity and romanticism of impressionism with a confronting absence of ecological impulse. As works they are standing as juxtapositions to an ontological longing. In this perspective a reflection of isolation and dislocation..

Laura Tack has exhibited in New York (USA), Ghent, Kortrijk (BE), Copenhagen (DE), Seydisfjordur (IS) and Marrakech (MO)

Ondate / Waves”
from 12 to 15 September 2019
Area A is pleased to host in its spaces “Ondate Waves”, an exhibition that is the result of an international open call, launched, conceived and curated by the artists Simone Miccichè and Paul D’Agostino.

Born out of a collaboration between Brooklyn-based Centotto and Bologna-based Officina 15, “Ondate / Waves” is an interactive, itinerant sequence of traveling exhibitions of postcard-sized artworks and messages addressing, in various ways, the theme of migration.

More than 230 original postcards from more than 15 states around the world will be exhibited for the third time in Berlin at AREA A, from 12 to 16 September 2019. A nomad exhibition, it can travel anywhere and be hosted for any amount of time.

Theme.

Immigration, emigration, relocation, displacement, asylum, exile and escape all fall within a broader spectrum of migration in general. Spurred on by natural disasters, lacking resources, social injustices or, often, wars, such movements of peoples aimed at finding safety or better lives run deep into the history of humanity far, far deeper than all the national borders and governmental entities that have sought, or seek now, to limit or prevent them.
Such movements have also tended, over time, to occur in waves, as migration from one point of origin to another builds upon itself, and sometimes as one pattern of migration is reflected in patterns of migration from and to other places.

Taking all such matters into consideration, and in response to today's variably motivated movements of masses of millions of people all around the world, Brooklyn-based Centotto Gallery and Bologna-based Officina 15 are issuing an open call for postcard-sized artworks, or simply postcards bearing messages, that somehow address such themes visually or verbally, or both.

How to participate in the Ondate / Waves series of exhibitions.

It's still possible to participate, it's very easy to be included in one way or another in this timely project as a participating artist or host at any time. Simply contact Simone Miccichè at: simonemicciche@yahoo.it

Participation is free, easy and open to all, and there are many opportunities to contribute works and words to the project.
There are also plenty of opportunities to host the show in other galleries, art spaces, schools, and cultural institutions for anyone interested. The more the show travels, the further its underlying message and constituent messages are spread, the better.
