"Hijack Reality
Let 100,000 Kunstvereine Bloom!
Bob and Roberta Smith
with contributions from Phyllida Barlow, Ron Haselden, Jennet Thomas
Sat 10 Jan – Mon 9 Mar
Bob and Roberta Smith are widely known for their sign paintings carrying political slogans painted on reclaimed timber, paper or canvas. They appropriate the languages of folk, punk and the alternative protest movements to personalise political sloganeering.
The sentiments expounded are often hard hitting, sometimes stating the obvious, sometimes highly opinionated and mostly very funny.
But Bob and Roberta Smith’s work can’t be reduced to one genre."

Dolce&Gabbana ha deciso di celebrare il lancio del make-up con una mostra straordinaria e irripetibile, "Extreme Beauty in Vogue.
La bellezza interpretata dai più grandi maestri della fotografia dagli anni Trenta a oggi".
L'evento, creato e curato da Vogue America, inaugurerà il 3 marzo 2009 durante la settimana della moda. Il Comune di Milano e Palazzo Reale hanno messo a disposizione le suggestive sale espositive del Palazzo della Ragione.
L’eccezionale presenza di Jean Nouvel in qualità di direttore artistico e di artefice delle scenografie, e di Eva Respini come guest curator della mostra e del prezioso catalogo edito da Skira, contribuiranno ulteriormente a dare vita a un avvenimento unico e indimenticabile.
L’iniziativa celebra e allo stesso tempo si interroga sul ruolo della bellezza nella nostra cultura, in un confronto serrato con i grandi maestri della fotografia del XX e del XXI secolo.
Il centinaio di stampe esposte, filtrate attraverso la lente di Vogue, raccontano storie profondamente sensuali e altamente provocatorie, talvolta audaci e spesso al di là delle regole. Dagli anni Trenta a oggi, è un continuo susseguirsi di situazioni inaspettate e imprevedibili, che mostrano come le nozioni estetiche siano cambiate nel tempo, risentendo del contesto storico, sociale e culturale del momento.
Lungo il percorso espositivo si potranno così ammirare i più celebri nomi del passato e del presente del mondo della fotografia, quali, per citarne solo alcuni: George Hoyningen-Huene, Edward Steichen, Erwin Blumenfeld, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz e Steven Klein.
Un’intera sezione sarà poi dedicata a Irving Penn, che ha saputo trasformare il volto e il corpo femminile in immagini di straordinaria creatività e forza emotiva.
I canoni estetici cambiano, si modificano e si evolvono. Eppure la bellezza "… è l'unica cosa contro cui la forza del tempo sia vana. Le filosofie si disgregano come la sabbia, le credenze si succedono l'una sull'altra, ma ciò che è bello è una gioia per tutte le stagioni e un possesso per tutta l'eternità" (Oscar Wilde).

Priska C. Juschka Fine Art is pleased to present Kurban, Almagul Menlibayeva’s second solo exhibition of video and photography at the gallery. The artist returns to the Steppes of her native Kazakhstan, where she conceives, stages and films mythological narratives, alluring her audience to partake in this visual journey.
Her video Kurban (sacrifice/victim) unfolds like a modern day Iliad. Within the ruins of the abandoned collective farms – once constructed by the deported people of the former Soviet Union, displaced by the government and forced to work in the gulags of Kazakhstan – a seemingly ancient world emerges. Women stand motionless and elongated on ladders, wrapped in shroud-like cloth resembling ancient statues. The architecture, reminiscent of the Greek Parthenon, provides the stage of a surreal world where only these ‘Goddesses of the Steppes’ remain. Expectant men watch from afar as young women in contemporary dress approach carrying a bound black sacrificial ram. As the ram is being dismembered, a child held by one of the mute and detached ‘living columns’ starts crying while the men are wailing. The episode leaps to the portrayal of a young shrouded woman with Shamanistic lamb sculls adorning her temples...

AS TIME GOES BY
Die Sammlungspräsentation zum Thema Zeit ermöglicht neue und spannungsvolle Einblicke in die reichhaltigen Bestände der Berlinischen Galerie. Selten oder noch nie gezeigte Arbeiten vom 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart treten mit den Meisterwerken des Hauses in einen reizvollen Dialog.
Die Ausstellung ist in drei Themengruppen gegliedert und erstreckt sich nahezu über das ganze Erdgeschoss. Zu Beginn der Präsentation stehen sich Kunstwerke gegenüber, die die Zeitphänomene Dauer – Moment erlebbar werden lassen. Öffentliche und private Erinnerungskultur sind das zentrale Thema des nächsten Gegensatzpaares Ewigkeit – Vergänglichkeit. Künstlerische Tendenzen, in denen der Blick nach vorn oder zurück gerichtet ist, stehen unter den Begriffen Retrospektiv – Prospektiv zur Diskussion.
Besonderes Augenmerk legen die Kuratoren Anna Ewa Dyrko, Antje Schunke und Thomas Steigenberger, wissenschaftliche Volontäre im Hause, auf die Vermittlung der Ausstellung. Durch Formate wie "Abreißtexte" oder einen "Zwischen-Raum" besteht die Möglichkeit, die Ausstellung aktiv mit zu gestalten. So wird der gewichtige Charakter permanent an die Wand gebrachter Informationstexte durch abreißbare Notizblätter konterkariert. Durch die Möglichkeit, im "Zwischen-Raum" Eindrücke, Fragen oder auch Kritik festzuhalten, stehen die BesucherInnen untereinander und mit den KuratorInnen in ständigem Dialog.
Künstlerauswahl: Dieter Appelt, Heike Baranowsky, Tacita Dean, Naum Gabo, Johannes Geccelli, Beate Gütschow, Edward und Nancy Reddin Kienholz, Hans Kollhoff, Katharina Meldner, Harald Metzkes, George Rickey, Michael Schmidt, Gundula Schulze el Dowy, Fred Thieler, Wolf Vostell, Anton von Werner
