Refrigerator Poetry is pleased to present the November 2021 Visual Art online group exhibition organized by archive director, Perri Neri. All work was completed between November 2020 and November 2021.
Refrigerator Poetry can be defined as a multiplicity of voices being created out of the experiences being had in the moment. While we continue to negotiate with a pandemic, we have learned quickly to accept how fragile both our experiment of democracy and our human lives are. This month’s exhibition embodies a diverse array of narratives and practices, based in media ranging from photography, painting, textiles, collage, and sculpture. The range of experiences shared by these artists reveal moments when hope and optimism & joy and humanism mingle with death and decay.

Wölk, Anne

Nina Milani presents a group show with 22 international artists. The gallery is committed to emerging and established artists from different disciplines and styles, being conscious of the great variety of offers that exist nowadays.

The show runs from 28.09. – 10.10.2021.

Come by and say hello!

Press Release about Anne Wölk:
Anne Wölk is fascinated by science fction stories about space travel and  cyberspace. Involved in the society of digital culture, the artist alters flm stills,  as well as photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope, and integrates  them into her motifs and personal painting cosmos. During her childhood,  Wölk saw an infnite number of simulations of stellar skies and demonstrations  of planetary runs at 360-degree shows at the planetarium in her hometown  Jena. Jena was the center for laser and optics technology in the former GDR.  This formative experience continually infuenced her interest in science fction  and space travel. 

Wölk’s subject matter speaks of the imagery of futuristic science and  technology, which we have only become familiar with from the advances of  satellites, cameras, cinematography, and computer-generated images.  By layering content from these diverse sources, the painter creates a  fantastical interpretation of nature, in which the simultaneity of Romanticism  and Utopia becomes perceptible. 

Anne Wölk studied painting at the University of Fine Arts Berlin-Weissensee and the  Chelsea College of Fine Art and Design, London.

The Gallery will represent her at the upcoming Art Fair “Art Innsbruck 2021”
(held from October 28 to 31 in Innsbruck, Austria).

Group Show in Berlin

Nothing´s gonna change my world?

13 August – 5 September 2021
non-profit gallery: gr_und,
Seestr. 49, 13347 Berlin

Daniel Hahn and Johannes Mundinger, from Raum www, have asked 230 artists four questions each, to create a picture of how visual artists have come through the pandemic – so far – and what their predictions are for the future, in relation to art.

The answers form the interactive exhibition, opening on 13 August 2021 at gr_und, Seestr. 49, 13347 Berlin. 

Accompanying the exhibition is a catalogue depicting all the answers, with a foreword by Laura Helena Wurth and a greeting by Berlin’s Senator for Culture Klaus Lederer.

270 pages, with cardboard cover, printed by Druckhaus Sportflieger in Berlin. 

Supported by Neustart Kultur, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, BBK Bundesverband.

About two thirds of the artists interviewed live in Berlin. About 130 are female*, about 100 male*. The answers are German or English, depending on the artist.

All artists can be found at www.raumwww.de, a playful online archive that has been collecting exhibitions and cultural projects that had to be cancelled, postponed or closed due to the pandemic since the beginning of the first lockdown in 2020.

In this Dropbox folder you can find further information regarding exhibitoin, catalogue and Raum www. (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xk7twgunl8sh1hy/AAAbh2n2MSlotDiRWVTPB25pa?dl=0)

* * *

So the focus is less on artistic works and more on answering the four questions:

1 How much were you affected by the lockdowns and how did you deal with the situation?

2 How has your work situation and working method changed as a result?

3 How do you assess the changes for art and the art world?

4 What impact do you think the pandemic has had on the importance of art for society?

Background:

Raum www is an online archive collecting exhibitions and cultural projects that had to be cancelled, postponed or closed due to the pandemic.

It was founded at the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020, by Berlin based artists Daniel Hahn and Johannes Mundinger: 

A hierarchy-free surface that can be scrolled in all directions (comparable to Google Maps), shows a picture of each artist’s work, that can be zoomed in to full screen. A pop-up menu informs about the artist, the work and the exhibition.

The accompanying instagram account features various artists with single posts and updates on openings that can and could take place. 

In addition to collecting cancelled exhibitions, Raum www also organise some by itself.

After an exhibition in a park (Auerpark, June 2020), in a gallery in Berlin-Mitte (Galerie Neurotitan, October 2020), in the shop window of a Neukölln project space (HilbertRaum December 2020), a touring exhibition that was raffled off to private households („Hausarbeit“ March to May 2021), Nothing’s gonna change my world? is the fifth exhibition under the virtual roof of Raum www.

www.raumwww.de 

Under the theme ‘SIGNALS!,’ this year’s artspring festival showcases the diversity of art and cultural production in Pankow, Prenzlauer Berg and Weißensee throughout the month of May. Exhibitions, concerts, readings, performances, a film and literature program, and various themed days will be presented from May 7th until June 6th.

ARTSPRING SIGNALE AUS DEN KULTURKAPELLEN / AUSSTELLUNG IM VERWALTERHAUS AUF DEM FRIEDHOF ST. MARIEN / ST. NICOLAI

Die gemeinsame Ausstellung artspring Signale führen wir in diesem Jahr in einem hybriden Format im Verwalterhaus der Initiative Kulturkapellen durch.
Das Verwalterhaus ist eine ganz besondere Institution: Vernarbte Wände, Spuren der Vergangenheit. Ein aus der Zeit gefallener und entschleunigter Ort, auf dem Friedhof St. Marien/St. Nicolai gelegen und von der ag Friedhofsmuseum e.V. als Kulturort bespielt.

Und derzeit pandemiebedingt für Veranstaltungen geschlossen. Die Ausstellung artspring signale findet deshalb teildigital statt. Das bedeutet:

Wir bringen die Arbeiten ins Haus und dokumentieren diesen Vorgang. Gezeigt werden Bilder uns Skulpturen der an den Offenen Ateliers im Rahmen von artspring berlin beteiligten Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus dem ganzen Bezirk Pankow. Die Ausstellung ist von außen via QR-Code sichtbar.
Eine „echte“ Installation gibt es im Außenraum: Die Künstlerinnen Marula di Como und Birgit Szepanski haben eine ortsspezifische und interaktive Installation entwickelt, die sowohl auf den Friedhof, als auch auf das historische Kaufhaus Jonas gegenüber Bezug nimmt. Ferner befindet sich eine Audio-Station des artspring artwalks in der Virtrine vor dem Gebäude.

Ab Freitag, 21. Mai – Rund um die Uhr geöffnet bis 13. Juni

Anne Wölk: Deep Space Exploration 
Erkenntnis – und Erfahrungsprozess im Tiefenraum 
(Der Besuch der Ausstellung ist täglich von 12:00 -22:00 Uhr möglich, kein Corona-Test erforderlich)

Anne Wölks Ausstellung in den Schaufenstern des Vedi´s beleuchtet die spekulativen Realitäten des Universums. Die Ausstellung besteht aus Leinwandarbeiten und dreidimensionalen Kugelobjekten, die die Künstlerin mit irdischen und extraterrestrischen Landschaftsmotiven bemalt hat. Astronomische Aufnahmen verweben sich mit fiktiven Szenerien, die die Beziehungen zwischen Mensch und Natur in Frage stellen. Die Kunstwerke zeigen Weltraumhabitate mit Neon- und LED-Lichtern, die die Oberfläche des Planeten zu beleuchten scheinen. Eine Gemeinschaft von anonymen Raumfahrern hat Land auf anderen Himmelskörpern kolonisiert. Bewahren sie auf diese Weise das Wunder des Lebens außerhalb der irdischen Sphäre?

Während der Betrachter in die fernen Welten des Weltraums eingetaucht ist, schwebt immer noch ein digitales Leuchten am Horizont. Der artifizielle „Glow-Effekt“ konfrontiert den Besucher mit der Welt der Simulation und dem erzählerischen Terrain des Science Fiction Genre. An dieser Stelle zeigt sich das menschlichen Bedürfnis, neue Umgebungen für die eigenen Bestrebungen zu erobern, zu entwickeln und zu verändern. Während der Betrachter in der Ausstellung scheinbar zu den äußersten Grenzen des Universums gereist ist, wird er gleichzeitig auf die Verwundbarkeit unseres Heimatplaneten verwiesen und ist aufgefordert, die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Mensch und Erde größer zu denken.

Experiencing art while strolling: The artspring artwalk will occupy shop window spaces in Prenzlauer Berg, walls and open spaces in the Schönhauser Allee Arcaden, the outdoor spaces of the Colloseum cinema and the Bornholm II + I allotment gardens with works by artists from the district.

The KORN Kunstraum in Greifswalder Straße is a long way from the beginning, and for many years now those interested have also been able to visit the exhibitions in the Pavillon am Milchhof and the super bien! greenhouse around the clock. In between, there will now be a course: Art in the windows of the Sparkasse, bars and shops.

In the plots of the Bornholm II + I allotment gardens near the S-Bahn, art will also be on display behind the garden fence. Two advertising pillars will also lead to an exciting project by HTW Berlin that deals with the history of the area.

The artspring artwalk is designed to be flexible and is accessible via a QR code. It may happen that it is still growing, another thing it has in common with the gardens. Anyone who wants to follow its tracks can do so with their smartphone and will also be able to find audio experiences. For those who would like to be accompanied, we offer to join a guided tour. The dates with up-to-date information can be found on our website: www.artspring.berlin/artwalk.

How many stars are there in the Milky Way? If you look at the white band in the night sky with a telescope, you can see that it consists of countless stars. Astronomers have calculated that there are between 100 and 200 billion stars. However, nobody can give a more precise number because the Milky Way is huge. From the earth, the Milky Way appears like a milky brushstroke over the firmament. When looking at the blue night sky every evening, Berlin painter Anne Wölk asks herself many questions. The universe is reluctant to reveal deeper insights into its nature, but with excessive and collective research across nations and disciplines, a diverse understanding can be gained.
For many years, Wölk has been fascinated by science fiction stories about space travel and cyberspace. Involved in the society of digital culture, the artist alters film stills, as well as photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope, and integrates them into her motifs and personal cosmos paintings. During her childhood, Wölk saw an infinite number of simulations of stellar skies and demonstrations of planetary runs at 360-degree shows at the planetarium in her hometown Jena. Jena was the centre for laser and optics technology in the former GDR. This formative experience continually influenced her interest in space travel.
In her solo exhibition at the CICA Museum, Wölk will present her artwork series Planet Spheres and Starscapes.
The idea behind the painted celestial globes originates from astronomical research on exoplanets, which is driven by the search for extrasolar worlds. As a child, Wölk saw night skies’ simulations and detailed presentations of gas planets such as Saturn and Jupiter at the planetarium. Her sky landscapes are painted on spheres of different sizes and hang freely from the ceiling. The three-dimensional paintings are characterised by the use of a slow, precise working method and are made with acrylic paint on styrofoam. The objects embody a fictional and poetic interpretation of possible extraterrestrial worlds, carrying the ideal of romanticism. The starting point for the spheres are astrophotographs from space telescopes. Inspired by viable future colonies on rocky planets, the works refer to the question of whether there is ‘life beyond earth’ and ask, ‘What could colonies look like on other worlds?’

Anne Wölk works in the tradition of the contemporary artists Vija Celmins and Russel Crotty, but she also feels a strong commitment to the Dutch Baroque painter Aert van der Neer, whose speciality was landscapes in winter and at night. Like the old master, Wölk succeeds in painting the facets of light with a sure eye. Her paintings show the glow of the stars in the nightly darkness as a moment of calm. Her wintry scenes convince with the painterly ability to tell a variety of shades of blue in the smallest nuances and to merge them with the vaporwave aesthetics of the early 2010s art movement.
Dreamlike artificial light is floating in the picture space and leads into the emptiness of a virtual vacuum. Starry night skies, modified by photoshop filters, are in contrast to a rainbow colour scale.
Besides, Wölk’s nocturnal landscapes combine pop-sci-fi visual references, such as space stations or LED light beams. Her exclusive conceptional use of enlighted colours is what makes her artwork very contemporary. By creating space with flowing colour gradients and sampling methods, the artist tries to reclose photographic aberrations, digital information gaps, and compression artefacts caused by the technical limitations of telescopic observations and mechanical photography.

The Starscapes series comprises night landscapes with fascinating and mysterious light atmospheres. The motifs came from the tradition of landscape painting of the 17th century when Dutch painters examined night light phenomena in many ways. Although Anne Wölk takes on the precision and painterly compactness of the old masters, she uses film stills from popular science fiction movies as a contemporary template. The painter lets mountain landscapes shine brightly against dark starry skies and magically draws the viewer’s gaze into their depths. A digital glow effect in the horizon line references the excessive screen light of the present day. The classic deep light of traditional oil painting is distorted and expanded by an LED light. The dark shade ‘indanthrene blue’ is omnipresent in the artist’s firmaments. The deep, wide night blue of the sky envelops and quietly warms the viewer in an artistic embrace.

Anne Wölk (1982, Jena/Germany) was born and raised in former East Germany. She is a figurative painter whose artistic work stands in the tradition of realistic contemporary artists Vija Celmins and Russel Crotty. Committed to an attitude of reskilling, Wölk uses traditional methods and materials. Her paintings predominantly show us night sky scenes with deep and open galaxies. By quoting Spacetelescope images and digital photography resources, Anne Wölk tests the margins between art and reality.

Parts of Wölk’s family came originally from East Prussian Königsberg, modern-day Kaliningrad. Through their cultural roots and characteristics, the artist sees herself as a wanderer between different worlds of Eastern and Western culture. During her childhood, she often came into contact with paintings by Baltic and Russian landscape painters. With her ongoing exhibition activity in the USA and her extensive exchange of ideas with American artists, Wölk’s fantastical landscapes are characterized by a multicultural character and show German, Baltic, Russian, and American elements.

In 2006, the young artist entered the international art world at the Contemporary Istanbul Art Fair, when the collector Can Elgiz bought one of her large-scale paintings for the Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art in Istanbul. Her painting Doggirl was shown in several thematic group exhibitions next to famous artists Cindy Sherman, Tracy Emin, and Sarah Morris.
Later on, Anne Wölk received an MFA from the School of Art and Design Berlin and was a BFA student at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. After graduating from art school in 2009, the painter became known for beautiful large-scale landscape paintings and was selected and shortlisted for several international competitions and scholarships.

Her awards include the national Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes scholarship; the Alpine Fellowship grant at Aldourie Castle, Scotland, UK; a residency at Bodensee Art Fund; and an artist-in-residence grant in Goriska Brda, Slovenia, awarded by the German Embassy, Ljubljana. She has exhibited at international institutions, including the Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art, Istanbul, Turkey; the CICA Art Museum South Korea; the Zeiss-Planetarium Berlin, Germany; the Accra Goethe-Institut Ghana; and the Kyrgyz National Museum of Fine Arts, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republik.
Wölk has exhibited her work alongside artists like Robert Rauschenberg, Johannes Wohnseifer, Azade Köker, and Stephan Balkenhol. In 2011, she was selected for the Edition S 36 of DSV Kunst Kontor, Stuttgart.

The Edition S 36 was a compilation of contemporary artworks, including paintings of Jonathan Meese and Tim Eitel.
She has exhibited and sold on the international art market, including the Swab Art Fair Barcelona in Spain; Viennafair in Vienna, Austria; KIAF Seoul in South Korea; and Contemporary Istanbul in Turkey.
Wölk has since shown her work in private gallery shows, including Galería Luis Adelantado, Valencia, Spain; Arebyte Gallery, London, UK; Galerie Wolfsen, Aalborg, Denmark; Pantocrator Gallery, Shanghai, China; Alfa Gallery Miami, USA; and The Residence Gallery, London, UK.

In October 2013, Anne Wölk won the Category Award for the ArtPrize competition ‘Art Takes Paris’, judged by directors from The Andy Warhol Museum in New York, Lisson Gallery, and the Marianne Boesky Gallery. In 2017, Wölk was announced as the Showcase Juried Winner in the painting category of the 9th Artslant Prize. Her painting ‘Virtual light’ was selected by a jury consisting of Natalia Zuluaga (Artistic Director of ArtCenter/ South Florida), Nathaniel Hitchcock (co-organizer of the Bass Museum of Art) and Malose Malahela (co-founder of Keleketa! Library). Two years later, the painter participated in the finalists’ exhibition of the art competition Art Revolution in Taipei, Taiwan.
Recently, Anne Wölk takes part in the contest exhibition The Future we want (2020) at Palais des Nations Geneva. Her paintings represent the competition idea of the Permanent Mission of Germany.

Woelk currently lives and works in Berlin.
