Spanning fifteen years of experimental projects, the exhibition explores Hussein Chalayan’s creative approach, his inspirations and the many themes which influence his work such as cultural identity, displacement and migration.
The gallery Andreas Binder shows an exhibition of the artist Tina Berning for the first time.
In her latest works, artist Tina Berning investigates the connections between conditioned aesthetics and individual self-determination. Captured on found paper, Tina Berning liberates what is locked inside the frozen masks of the lifestyle and consciousness industry. She creates both a subjective and critical view of the human body, its shortcomings, and its basic affinity for beauty. Her interventions expose the studied gestures which bear witness to compulsions and constraints. The drawings and collages are challenging and, at the same time, vulnerable images of familiar interpretations of people, caught in an interplay between voyeurism and exhibitionism.
Tina Berning’s figures are graceful, but they remain incomplete. Streaks of color are laid over fine outlines, bodies fall, spots and spaces overlay the transparent characters. Tina Berning applies subtle corrections to the face of the mass and thus allows an air of physical expressivity to return. For her works, Tina Berning uses paper found at flea markets and old estates. The paper brings traces of aging and transience with it. But it is not just a vehicle for the drawing. Rather, it confronts the supposed ageless norm of a high glossy projection with a lived area of existence.
Tina Berning’s exhibition ’The Listeners’ will be exposed for six weeks at Gallery Andreas Binder.
The gallery Andreas Binder is delighted to welcome you to the exhibition opening on Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 7 pm.
