The Tirana Art Gallery is pleased to announce the first edition of the “Tirana International Biennale of Graphic Arts.” From October 25 to November 25, the exhibition opens at the Tirana Art Gallery & the National Historical Museum in Tirana. The event presents international artists who work in different Graphic Arts mediums, and the idea is to promote print art from around the World. By organizing the International Biennale, the gallery wants to build a unique global platform for cultural exchange.
The Biennale will be held under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture of Albania, and the Tirana Art Gallery is an institution associated with the Municipality of the capital.
The curatorial committee was Beste Gursu (Turkey), Helidon Haliti (Albania, and Zake Prelvukaj (Kosovo). They have decided to select the artists in a two-staged selection process. In the first step, they invited local artists, and during the second phase, they chose international artists through an international Open Call.

Galeria e Artit Tiranë

Dead Darlings #15 — Issue
Hello Amsterdam — We’re back!!!
    
The first live auction in Amsterdam since the lockdown will take place on 31 July 2022 (and then again on 11 December 2022) at the heart of the city: Dead Darlings #15 — Issue! ² will be presented in two instalments, with a summer edition and a winter edition. That means double the artworks and double the fun!
Inspired by the original function of Vrij Paleis as a printing press, but also the swelling tide of issues in our times, we have entitled our upcoming auction: Issue! Yes, as in the issue of a newspaper but also, the matter in question, a predicament, a consequence, a version of something, a thing under discussion and the list goes on… 

Dead Darlings is an anonymous art auction founded in Amsterdam in 2005 as a platform to explore the complex love triangle between artist, artwork, and collector.
Our events combine elements of performance and exhibition. Our focus is on artifacts whose value is ambiguous: dead darlings. Works that for whatever reason have not yet come to light. A dead darling is something artists would not normally sell; sometimes B-sides of the artistic process, sometimes greatest hits that were just never played before!

We give these works a second chance for love and love to tell their story. Since they have been “killed”, the starting prices are very low, giving everyone the opportunity to bid for an original, often unique artwork. What we try to do as a collective is bring something “unseen” to the public sphere while challenging notions of value, demand, desirability and commerce.

Artworks are auctioned anonymously, so the buyer can focus on what they love! All participating artists are listed, but the names are not revealed in relation to the piece until after the hammer drops! Our philosophy is to feature established artists along-side upcoming and more obscure artists all mixed together. This makes things more exciting, but also, urges collectors to buy the work they connect to without knowing who made it!

Dead Darlings is an international collective, so the event will be conducted mainly in English. There will be a helpful team on the floor to walk you through the process and answer any questions. If you win an auction lot, you pay the exact bidding price, with nothing added on and take the darling home with you right away! Proceeds will go directly to the artist who made the work, or their chosen charity, with a percentage going toward production costs and our fabulous hand-made catalog. We like to reflect on why a particular work has been cast aside by the maker. For this event we asked the artists: Can this piece be placed center stage, or does it belong in the shadows? Is it an understudy or does it have the potential to be a protagonist? The wonderful theatrical backdrop of our Berlin auction inspires us to consider all those works that haven’t yet had their moment in the spot-light and to ask why.
Come to our auction and find out!
*Bring cash to pay for your auction paddles, catalogs, drinks and other fun DD merchandise! For bigger art purchases it will be possible to pay with a card. Stay tuned for our online catalogue to preview all the dead darlings going under the hammer.

Text German:
Artspring Berlin präsentiert sich und eingeladene Künstler_innen und Projekte im artspring Pop up Store.
Kunst im Einkaufscenter? Wir finden es gut. Das Einkaufszentrum ist ein Ort, an dem man die Nachbarn trifft. Und wir wollen mit ihnen in Kontakt treten. Ein Ort, der dazu da ist, um sich mit den Dingen des täglichen Bedarfs einzudecken, ist ein passender Standort für die Kunst

Der artspring Pop up Store ist Atelier und Projektraum, Galerie und Treffpunkt, Büro und Netzwerkknoten. Die großen Schaufenster des Stores im Obergeschoss der Schönhauser Allee Arcaden geben den Blick frei auf das Entstehen von Kunstwerken und laden zur Teilhabe ein. Hier treffen verschiedenen Arbeitsweisen – und Welten aufeinander, werden Projektideen verfolgt und ausprobiert. Im Rahmen der der einzelnen Projekte werden regelmäßig Veranstaltungen, Werkschauen, Konzerte und offenen Werkstätten stattfinden. So entsteht an einem bisher ungewöhnlichen Ort ein Experimentierfeld für Kunst und Öffentlichkeit.

About the artwork:
Title: Inferno, 2022,
Media: Watercolor on paper,
Size: Framed size: 30 x 40 cm
available at Singulart:
https://www.singulart.com/de/kunstwerke/anne-wölk-inferno-1601007
artist: Anne Wölk

The watercolor shows a burning birch grove in Ukraine. You can see an explosion caused by the impact of a Russian missile. The rising flame mushroom is representative of the conflagration that this country is currently experiencing. Several fires have also broken out in the restricted area around the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant. It was there in 1986 that the worst nuclear accident in the history of civilian use of atomic power occurred.
The Putin system uses bombs as a form of collective punishment because the government in Kyiv does not surrender to Moscow. Ukrainian civilians are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
The artist donates her share of the painting sale to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. With the purchase of this work of art, you support the people of Ukraine. (https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ukrainesupportpledge). The Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund provides clean drinking water, food, and shelter for Ukrainian refugees.

How it works:
Buyers message the artist or Singulart to confirm availability, donate to the page Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. The collectors screengrab their donation to prove purchase, and the work will be shipped by the artist to the buyer.

Homepage for donations:

About:
If you would like to simply donate any amount your generosity will be hugely appreciated as every penny counts. Thank you!
About the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund:
Millions of people in Ukraine are caught in an escalating military conflict and are in growing need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Your donation to this fund will support affected communities in Ukraine, with a focus on the most vulnerable, including children, who need access to education, food, medical services, and psychosocial support.
Before the invasion an estimated 3.4 million people needed humanitarian assistance in eastern Ukraine, and now the crisis has deepened immeasurably. Thousands of civilians have already been killed and injured, and millions driven from their homes.

All donations to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund will support humanitarian assistance in impacted communities in Ukraine and surrounding regions where Ukrainian refugees have fled. GlobalGiving’s local partners in Ukraine are bringing relief to displaced families and people in high-risk areas, and they need resources to continue and expand their vital work.

Your donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund will provide:
– Food, shelter and clean water
– Access to education
– Health and psychosocial support

Anne Wölk presents a solo exhibition at Pantocrator Gallery. A poetic space travel into the depth of interstellar clouds that enchants the imagination, entitled “Momentum in Space”.

more info: https://www.pantocratorgallery.com/current-exhibition

Displaying a selection of Anne Wölk’s most recent paintings, the exhibition takes place from the 05th December 2021 to the 28th February 2022 as an online event, at the Pantocrator Gallery, setting the stage for vivid space-inspired artworks to transport dreamers and enthusiasts into a cosmic exploration of nature’s beauty. Echoing the long winter nights, the presentation propels the imagination to go beyond rational scientific knowledge while sketching a visionary and optimistic future.

The exhibition features creations inspired by Nebulae, interstellar clouds formed of dust, hydrogen, and helium, that invite the viewer an aesthetic contemplation of nature’s pure beauty. Shimmering stars delicately illuminate an infinite blue while mesmerizing shades of surreal colours offered by the cosmos create a bridge with a mystical world, encouraging to leave rational thoughts aside. The flowing colour gradients are carefully selected by the artist to capture the constantly transforming nebulous shapes. While embracing the tradition of the 17th century landscape painting, specifically the techniques of the Dutch painter Aert van der Neer, Anne Wölk also uses film stills from science fiction for the “Starscapes” series, where she depicts mountain landscapes brightly shining against dark starry skies.

The details of nature, perceptible thanks to the advances in satellite imagery and computer-generated images, are altered and sublimated to form dreamlike galactical worlds. By layering astrophotography images and pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope with utopian science-fiction references and colourful motifs, the personal cosmos paintings finely blur the lines between dreams and reality to prompt the imagination to wander in surreal landscapes. Anne Wölk’s sampling methods create a celestial space that recloses digital information gaps caused by the technical limitations of telescopic observations and mechanical photography. The paintings represent the marvels of nature in a scientific utopia that can open the door to future discoveries.

Born and raised in Jena in former East Germany, Anne Wölk is an artist based in Berlin, who creates artworks inspired by space aesthetic and science fiction. The process of layering outer space images with quotations from German Romanticism and Photorealism is distinctive of her compositions. Faithful to her values of community, optimism and hope towards the future, her art outlines a bright and fantastical world tracing the beauty that nature exudes. Her two previous collaborations with the Pantocrator Gallery took place in 2015 with the exhibition titled “Through the looking-glass” (Shanghai, China) and in 2020, by representing her work at the Swab Art Fair.

Giving and receiving artwork is a special experience. That’s why I am offering exclusive, premium packaging for each artwork acquired from the Flash Sale just in time for the Holiday Season! I will include a personalized message. I also guarantee delivery of artworks before December 24th!
