Group show Lightsoff Lightson with Ju Young Kim and Lukas Heerich, curated by Anna-Catharina Gebbers at St. Matthäus Church in Berlin.
At the heart of Lightsoff Lightson are concepts of the in-between, of being on the move and of transfer spaces: phases and places of transition, spaces that are not conceived as final destinations, but as intermediate stations and episodes of waiting, reflection and change. States between corporeality and incorporeality, this world and the beyond, reality and fiction, in which the absent is present both threateningly and weightlessly, flow as motifs into all works. Light metaphorically guides the formal and poetic search for location and insight.
The practice of the participating artists combines a considerations on the present – characterized by social uncertainty, existential fragility and finitude – with often humorous reflections on the positioning of their own work in the seemingly timeless history of art.
With works by Vitória Cribb, Doku, Lukas Heerich, Leiko Ikemura, Ju Young Kim, Isa Melsheimer, Kristina Nagel, Norbert Schwontkowski, Minh Lan Tran, Nicole Wermers, Wendi Yan, Guan Xiao
