performance by Whitney Vangrin
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..

“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.
