PANORAMA

In the present day, with huge crystal clear high definition widescreen televisions and mobile phone apps which can stitch photos together to create seamless 360 degrees views, the power of the panorama has been somewhat diluted. However not so long ago it was difficult not to conjure up ideas of cinema, or what could be described as the cinematic view, when confronted by panoramic images. One of the chief reasons that cinema adopted the widescreen formats, such as the classic CinemaScope format, was to compete with the rising popularity of television in the 1950’s and these new formats became quickly favoured for epic movies often of a religious or historic flavour.

In previous centuries painting adopted the panoramic format and similarly used it to depict major historical events and heroic battle scenes. In fact the word “panorama” has its origins in painting, it was coined in the late 18th Century by the Anglo-Irish painter Robert Barker to describe his own 360 degree cityscape paintings of Edinburgh and London which were presented on a cylindrical surface. These proved to be hugely popular with the public and soon a trend in panoramic painting spread across Europe. The poet William Wordsworth famously took an extreme dislike to the format, describing it as a charade which inhibited people’s ability to imagine things for themselves. Despite this the panoramic format continued to proliferate and with the invention of photography the format was quickly adopted by assembling multiple images to create single wide views. This eventually evolved into the moving panorama which was a precursor to the motion picture and cinema itself.

This exhibition presents individual works by eight different painters which are all in the same scaled panoramic format, a 2:1 format but each tackling very different ideas, themes and images. This is the third exhibition in an ongoing series once again bringing together the work of these eight international Berlin-based artists. Like the two previous exhibitions, 6 Squared (2013) and Triptych (2014), each artist has created one new work specifically for this show which responds to the constraints and challenges but also the insights and discoveries from working within a particular pre-defined format.

Landscape – Metropolis

This large-scale exhibition of Finnish Environmental Art in collaboration with Irish curator John Power of G11, and a myriad of Irish/Finnish/Berlin-based artists takes place for the first time in Berlin’s Metropolis, creating a unique platform for the exchange of ideas.

The show encompasses an impressive variety of media and scale including large sculptural installations, pho- tography, painting and video works. Concerns for the ecological and the poetic are knitted together in the apt setting of this former power station in Berlin-Schönweide, literally translated to ‘pretty pasture’. Sadly all rem- nants of these green meadows have long since vanished following Berlin’s industrialization. However, like the remote Finnish forests, or even barren Irish landscapes, Berlin’s industrial wasteland has become the perfect playground for artists, with space and freedom for experimentation, as one can see in this dynamic exhibition.

Environmental Art is a term often used in Finland, broadly encompassing but not limited to: ephemeral, site-specific, outdoor installations, city interventions, works often rejecting the white cube, engaging with natu- ral or recycled materials, with a focus on the ecological, ethical and the socio-political themes.

In this exhibition the viewer will experience the visceral and the tactile, in an eclectic mix of delicate materials and surreal experiences, such as Heli Hietala’s eerie use of carefully collected goose feathers in her hanging sculpture Birdies, or Jonne Pitkänen’s strange kinetic installations hiding in the cellar.

While Kevin Ryan’s House works are a playful response to the ever-growing urban environment of contempo- rary life, Alma Heikkilä’s painting, 10€ ( Money refers to it self) is a palpable comment on our current economic crisis and echoes the themes of Elva Mulchrone’s painting Economic Landscape V11, informed by the cyclical nature of repeat patterns and the consequences of macroeconomic policy through the process of painting.

Freezing moments of our high-speed digital reality of throwaway imagery, Enda O’Donoghue offers a moment’s respite in his slow, fastidious, almost mathematical painting, The Wet Collections. Similarly, dealing with our digital realities, Saara-Maria Kariranta’s approach embraces the possibilities of 3D printing, merging traditional sculptural techniques with contemporary technology.

An unassuming allure characterizes many of the artworks in this show, such as Sirpa Jokinen’s birdcage instal- lation, Chalk Scattered on a Birdcage, Dust Covering a Portrait. Kaisu Koivisto’s work from the series Land- scapes of Longing (Wünsdorf) poetically highlights our climate of uncertainties with natural scenery blemished with signs of exploitation in redundant military sites. While a strong presence is felt in the more contemplative paintings of Tapani Hyypiä, this contrasts again with the more chaotic, unabashedly defiant and vibrant works of artist duo Moseke & Pelda.

This is just a small flavour of some of the artworks to be experienced in this ambitious exhibition. Landscape-Metropolis hints at the motif of nature in its various guises, with a plea to preserve these sacred spaces in the face of economic pressures, yet acknowledges the constant flux in our environment, our ever expanding cities, and the impossibility of a clear didacticism as they inevitably mesh. Despite uncertain times these artists, each in their own way, show their persistence to grapple with our changing environments.

This exhibition celebrates LARU ART Association, Finland’s 10th anniversary. LARU ART Association is a Hel- sinki-based non-profit whose purpose is to promote environmental awareness, art creation and artists collabo- ration.

MUU is an artist run, Finnish interdisciplinary artist association, founded in 1987 to represent and promote new and experimental forms of art. It is the largest one of its’ kind in Finland. PERFORMANCE VOYAGE 5 show- cases video performances by 13 artists and collectives. The PV5 compilation theme is “Domestic”, implying such concepts as national, home and even homelessness, as well as family, native, national, political point of view, and immigration.

Landscape – Metropolis

Diese umfangreiche Ausstellung umweltbezogener Kunst von einer Vielzahl irischer, finnischer und Berliner Künstler in Zusammenarbeit mit dem irischen Kuratoren John Power von G11 Berlin findet erstmalig in Berlin statt und schafft eine einzigartige Plattform für den Austausch von Ideen.

Die Ausstellung umfasst verschiedene Medien, darunter skulpturale Installationen, Fotografie, Malerei und Videoarbeiten. Unter dem Dach des ehemaligen Kraftwerks in Berlin-Schöneweide werden Bezüge zwischen Ökologie und Poesie hergestellt. Die ‚schönen Weiden’ sind seit langem der Industrialisierung gewichen. Nun- mehr sind die heutigen Berliner Industriebrachen, ebenso wie die versteckten finnischen Wälder oder auch die kargen irischen Landschaften, für Künstler zur perfekten Aktionsfläche mit viel Freiraum zum Experimentieren geworden. Dies ist in dieser dynamischen deutlich Ausstellung zu erkennen.

Umweltbezogene Kunst ist in Finnland ein oft verwendeter Begriff, der weitgehend seinen Fokus auf ökolo- gische, ethische und sozio-politische Themen legt, in Bezug auf die Ausführung jedoch keine Grenzen setzt. So können u.a. Freiland-Installationen, Stadt Interventionen oder die Auseinandersetzung mit natürlichen oder wiederverwertbaren Materialien thematisiert werden.

In dieser Ausstellung erleben die Besucher das Wesentliche und Spürbare in einer eklektischen Mischung aus empfindlichen Materialien und surrealen Erfahrungen. Heli Hietala verwendet sorgfältig gesammelte Gänsefed- ern in ihrer hängende Skulptur Birdies und Jonne Pitkänen’s seltsame kinetischen Installationen erstrahlen versteckt im Keller des Gebäudes.

Während Kevin Ryan’s Häuser eine spielerische Antwort auf die ständig wachsende städtische Umwelt des modernen Lebens sind, kommentiert Alma Heikkilä’s große Malerei 10€ (Money refers to is self) die aktuelle wirtschaftliche Krise. Dies spiegelt auch das Thema von Elva Mulchrone’s Gemälde Economic Landscape V11, welches durch die zyklische Natur sich wiederholender Muster und die Auswirkungen makroökonomischer Politik durch den Prozess der Malerei gekennzeichnet ist.

Eingefrorenen Momente unserer high-speed Digital Reality von Wegwerfbildern. Enda O’Donoghue bietet eine kurze Ruhepause in seinem langsamen, anspruchsvollen, fast mathematischen Gemälde The Wet Col- lections. Der Umgang mit unseren digitalen Realitäten ist ebenfalls Saara-Maria Kariranta’s Thema. Sie nutzt die Möglichkeiten des 3D-Drucks um traditionelle bildhauerische Techniken mit moderner Technologie zusam- menzuführen.

Für viele Kunstwerke dieser Ausstellung ist ein besonderer Reiz kennzeichnend, wie Sirpa Jokinen’s Instal- lation eines Vogelkäfigs Chalk Scattered on a Birdcage, Dust Covering a Portrait. Kaisu Koivisto’s Arbeiten aus der Serie Landscapes of Longing (Wünsdorf) unterstreichen poetisch unser Klima der Unsicherheit, ausgedrückt in Fotografien von natürlichen Landschaften, die mit Anzeichen von Ausbeutung in redundanten militärischen Standorten verunreinigt sind. Die kontemplativen Gemälde von Tapani Hyypiä zeigen Präsenz und stehen in Kontrast zu den chaotischen und lebendigen Werken des Künstlerduos Moseke & Pelda.

Dies ist nur ein kleiner Einblick in einige der Kunstwerke die in dieser ambitionierten Ausstellung zu sehen sind. Landscape-Metropolis weist auf das Motiv der Natur in ihren unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen, mit einem starken Plädoyer für den Erhalt dieser heilige Räume angesichts wirtschaftlichen Drucks. Dennoch finden die konstanten Veränderungen in unserer Umwelt und in unseren ständig wachsenden Städten ihre Anerkennung. Aufgrund der Unmöglichkeit einer klaren Didaktik verwickeln sie sich zwangsläufig ineinander. Trotz unsicherer Zeiten zeigen diese Künstler, ein jeder auf seine Weise, ihre Position zu unseren sich verän- dernden Umgebungen.

Die Ausstellung feiert den 10. Jahrestag des Bestehens von LARU Art Association Finnland. LARU Art Associ- ation ist ein in Helsinki ansässiger gemeinnütziger Verein zum Zweck der Förderung von Umweltbewusstsein, Kunst und der Zusammenarbeit von Künstlern.

MUU ist ein finnischer interdisziplinärer Künstlerverband, 1987 gegründet um neue experimentelle Formen der Kunst zu fördern und zu vertreten. Er ist der größte seiner Art in Finnland. PERFORMANCE VOYAGE 5 zeigt Video Performances von 13 Künstlern und Gruppen. Das PV5 Thema ist “Domestic”, was Begriffe wie Heimat, Obdachlosigkeit sowie Familie, Politik und Einwanderung umfasst.

Visual Voice  presents a wandering exhibition Alptraum (nightmare), conceived by the artist Marcus Sendlinger (Berlin). 
131 artists from 13 countries exploring nightmares.
 
Alptraum has been traveling the world since 2010, with one aim only – to build a collection of artists’ visions of a nightmare (Alptraum). In each stopover city, new artists are added to the exhibition, exploring the relationship between the individual, the national and the global collective subconscious. The exhibition has thus far travelled through Washington, London, Berlin, Los Angeles, Cape Town and Manila, among others. There are 131 artists from 13 countries participating in the wandering exhibition, joined by 6 new artists from around Canada for the occasion of the exhibition in Visual Voice
 
« Like George Orwell’s Room 101, in his predictive tale, 1984, we all have our own version of what constitutes a nightmare, and for this reason, the project has been opened to a large number of artists whose many and varied personal nightmare versions, or visions, act to reflect this hugely variable human state of fears and phobias, pain and panic. » (Marcus Sendlinger) The nightmare motif has a longstanding tradition in visual arts with its intertwining of the fantastical, the horrifying and the elusive. The theme has long fascinated artists – from the hellish landscapes of Hieronymus Bosch, Henry Fuseli’s The Nightmare (1781), Goya’s The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters (c. 1798), right through to the 20th Century, when nightmares became one of the central concerns of the surrealist movement.
 
But are nightmares individual to all? Like dreams, which have become synonymous with individual ambition? Or are nightmares perhaps expressions of the undesirable unconscious – that common denominator of a community? Do they indicate national archetypes? Or do they simply remain in the grips of the global fears of present age? These are the questions at the centre of the Alptraum exhibition, suggesting answers through the various repetitions of the same theme.

Today, the contemporary picture is an intermediate stop between various sign processes in which it lets itself be conveyed and from the conveyance of which it comes: a relay between states of signs and designation procedures. It exists as an ephemeral moment between processes of transformation: as something that is not only conveyed, but which comes from the conveyance and is that which is conveyed. The picture has become the cache and the clipboard; it brings forth as enduring that which otherwise often disappears in production.

Triptychon stammt von dem griechischen „triptykhos” ab, d.h. etwa drei (tri) und falten (ptykhos). Wurde das Triptychon in der Antike ursprünglich als dreiteiliges Schrifttablett verwendet, entwickelte es sich vom Mittelalter bis zum Barock zu einem der prachtvollsten Werken der Christlichen Kunst, dem Altarbild.

Diese Faszination mit dem Triptychon mag auf eine Verbindung mit der Zahl 3 zurückgehen, eine Zahl, die seit Jahrtausenden in der Zivilisation eine symbolische Rolle spielte. Die Griechen schätzten den mathematischen Charakter der Zahl 3 und deren enge Verbindung zu Pi und dem Dreieck. Auch die Triade der westlichen und östlichen Philosophie, repräsentiert den Geist, den Körper und die Seele – zu sehen in dem heidnischen Triskel oder der Dreieinigkeit des Christentums.

Von religiösen Themen nicht mehr eingeschränkt, wird das zeitgenössische Triptychon offen als dreiteiliges Komposition interpretiert, die sowohl in der Musik und Literatur als auch in der Malerei, Bildhauerei, Fotografie und Video Kunst zu finden ist. Mit  ihrer Format-basierten Ausstellung wollen acht in Berlin lebende internationale MalerInnen ihre Interpretation des Triptychons vorstellen .

Triptych

“Triptych” stems from the Greek “triptykhos” meaning three (tri) and fold/layer (ptykhos). Used as a writing tablet of three hinged parts in Antiquity, the triptych evolved from the Middle Ages to the Baroque into one of the most splendid features of Christian art, the altarpiece.

The fascination with the triptych may be linked to the number three, itself a significant symbol in civilization for millennia. The Greeks admired its mathematical properties and close association with pi and the triangle. In Eastern and Western philosophy the triad represents the mind, body and spirit, evident in the pagan triskel or the Christian Trinity.

No longer bound to a religious narrative the contemporary triptych is openly interpreted as a tripartite compositional form, found in musical and literary works as well as in painting, sculpture, video and photography. In this format-based show, eight international Berlin-based painters present their translation of triptych.
