    Remembrance

    £1,500.00
    By Anne Wolk
    50 X 50 CM
    Oil On Canvas
    https://dwdevents.org/product/remembrance/
    Involved in the society of digital culture, I alter film stills of science fiction movies. The motive sky tower speaks of the imagery of futuristic science, architecture and technology, which we have only become familiar with from the advancements of cinematography and computer-generated images.
    The aesthetic of dystopian Hollywood blockbuster movies strongly influences my landscape paintings. I try to create a fantastical interpretation of nature in which the simultaneity of Romanticism and Utopia becomes perceptible.

    Sky Tower

    £1,500.00
    By Anne Wolk
    50 X 50 CM
    Oil On Canvas
    https://dwdevents.org/product/sky-tower/
    The painting represents a science fiction scenery in a broad sense.
    Today, landscape artworks seem to be an allegory for the social. I approach the genre in a more significant sense, referring to a global debate about climate change. Landscapes
    showcase our conception of the relationship between nature and culture.
    My artistic research brings forth the recurring questions: What will our habitation look like on other planets? Will we continue to embrace our technological advances in space? Will our future be a utopia or a dystopia? Many of my paintings bring forward questions of who owns Earth, our entitlement to residency, together with the possibility of new environments, be that mental or physical.

  • Territories, group show at Scotty Enterprises

    Second Earth, 2019, 40 x 40 cm, Acrylic on Styrofoam

    Exhibition 15/02/20–21/03/20
    Opening: 14/02/20 from 7–10 pm

    www.scottyenterprises.de
    address:
    Oranienstraße 46,
    10969 Berlin, Germany

    Territories are fiercely contested, they are being appropriated, marked out and secured, they express affiliations and power structures. SCOTTY wants to artistically challenge and investigate these relations in a number of ways. The aim here is to tackle issues such as possession and appropriation and subversively transcend them, through artistic interventions. Borders are being questioned to transform territories into spaces of possibility. Free spaces are utilised and created so that new mental and social spaces can evolve.
    100 artists have submitted their work, on the occasion of the open call for this year’s theme Territories, of which 23 positions can now be viewed at SCOTTY. 
    Be it the entitlement for residence, for boundary, for freedom or for autonomy- the exhibited artists explore our relationship to territories on many different levels. 
    Whilst tourists self-evidently venture into any territory, enjoy their freedom and their right to go on holidays on luxury liners, whilst they document this freedom in common places and share it with the world, the access to freedom remains shut to others. 
    Surfaces are subtly separated by differing textures. Territories and paths are marked out and made visible by lines. They separate one from the other and offer protection. 
    Construction projects displace native animals from their territory, a child guards its brother who is buried underneath debris.
    In the juxtaposition of these experiences, the question on the concept of territories continually arises.

    artist list: Carla Åhlander, Thomas Brinkmann, Juliane Duda, Anna Fiegen, Kenny Garzón, Claudia Grünig, Kris Heide, Anne Hölck, Rieko Hotta, Karin Kerkmann, Patricia Lambertus, Petra Lottje, Maria Olivares Alfaro, Sharon Paz, Christian Pilz, Sandra Ratkovic, Bettina Schünemann, Katja Staudacher, Sencer Vardarman, Anke Westermann, Clemens Wilhelm, Anne Wölk, Hana Yoo

    Entitled To Our Landscape
    Discover a cohesive and multidisciplinary body of art which explores perspectives of territory. Scotty Enterprises , an artist run space in Kreuzberg, opens their group show Territorien on this Valentine’s
    evening. Territorien features 23 artists from a selection process of 100 submissions. Anne Wölk, a Berlin based painter, is among the skilled collection of creatives. Anne is internationally recognised and brings forth a work which grew from exploring territories of potential utopia in outer space.
    Territorien will be a show of extraterrestrial visions and a challenge to the views of entitlement to land of our world and beyond. Image: Detail of Second Earth , 2019, Anne Wölk.
    Anne will be presenting her distinctive painting Second Earth , 2019. Second Earth was first shown last year at her solo show Astral, tête, in Berlin . The work is a 40cm styrofoam sphere coated in a galaxy of acrylic paints. Anne’s cool blue palette presents a mountain-scape paired with a deep night sky above. Reminiscent of a snow globe Second Earth offers an icy view of a melancholic landscape. Anne’s art practice glides seamlessly into the Territorien group show through her adoption of the theme ‘Life
    Beyond Earth’, a territory many light years away. Conceptually inspired by scientific investigations of new colonies on life-friendly planets, her work instantly addresses the power structure of who will have access to a potential Planet B, and the utopia with imagining an alternative living ground.

    “Ownership of extraterrestrial properties by private individuals and organizations is not recognized by any authority on earth.”

  • My paintings at GSK Stockmann

    A selection of more than 50 paintings is now on show at two floors at GSK Stockmann, a commercial law firm in the heart of Berlin. The works are from 2007 to 2019 and will be there until the 1st of June in 2020. This exhibition is an “Art for rent project” and visits are possible by appointment only.

    Witte Wartena is the founder of the association “Perennial Art”. Perennial Art is a group of contemporary artists that curate exhibitions within temporary spaces. Our aim is to introduce selected artists to a new public. By inviting emerging and established international contemporaries, our aim is to introduce the public to a diverse and interesting group of artists. Perennial hopes this idea will flourish and lead to further more exciting exhibitions in the future. After the first exhibition each artist featured in the show will then transport /transplant our work to their country of residence, acting as the secondary stem/off roots. By having the second exhibition in their city the new roots are planted allowing room to flourish on foreign soil.

    Come celebrate Perennial Art’s 10 year anniversary and see great Christmas cards by the following artists:
    Thomas Behling, Margreet Bouman, Laura Bruce, Lilian Cooper, Aquil Copier, Anuli Croon, Carola Göllner, Euan Gray, Eveline Van de Griend, Itie Langeland, Ton Martens, Jans Muskee, Henning Rosenbrock, Ronald Ruseler, Frans van Tartwijk, Alex Tennigkeit, Debbie Voerman, Witte Wartena, Gijs Weijer, Scott Weiner, Anette Wixner, Anne Wölk

  • Astral

    “Second Earth“, 2019, 40 cm sphere, Acrylic on Styrofoam

    On Thursday (12th) next week I will have a Solo Exhibition at tête. Come and stop by at 7pm.
    http://www.tete.nu/_Astral_Anne_Woelk

    Tête presents Astral – a solo exhibition featuring the work of Anne Wölk.

    Exhibition Dates:
    Tuesday 10th – Thursday 12th December,
    Vernisage: 7-9pm Thursday 12th December

    Installation view at tête, gallery space, Berlin

    Anne Wölk is fascinated by science fiction stories about space travel and cyberspace. The exhibition shows a selection of her latest series of paintings. Visitors have the opportunity to experience a sense of virtual infinity within her artworks.
    Involved in the society of digital culture, Anne Wölk alters film stills and photographs of social network sources into their motifs and personal painting cosmos.
    The artist`s subject matter speaks of the imagery of futuristic science and technology, which we have only become familiar with from the advancements of satellites; and cameras; and in cinematography and computer-generated-images. Wölk paints a fantastical interpretation of nature; in which the simultaneity of Romanticism and Utopia becomes perceptible.
    Landscapes with horizons of mesmerizing deep blue color show our universe from which individual stars, as well as entire space nebulae, emerge. Starry night skies, modified by photoshop filters, are contrast a rainbow color scale of, e.g., mountain chains. Dreamlike artificial light is floating in the picture space and leads into the emptiness of a virtual vacuum.
    Her exclusive conceptional use of bright screen colors is what makes her artworks very contemporary.

  • 3 D show at Alfa Gallery Miami

    3-D, group exhibition at
    ALFA GALLERY Miami Dec 4th – Mar 27th, 2020

    address:
    Space 01 – 7934 West Drive #901 
    (Visits by appointment only)
    Miami, USA

    I will show my new 3D Painting: 

    “Second Earth”
    Sphere, Acrylic on Styrofoam
    15 7/10 × 15 7/10 in
    40 × 40 cm
    https://www.artsy.net/artwork/anne-wolk-second-earth

    ABOUT THE SHOW
    3-D is an investigation into the three-dimensional contemporary art making practice that has evolved with a world of ever increasing fragmented sensory perceptions. The exhibition actively addresses three-dimensional concerns, which are sometimes realized in a two-dimensional format, as well as the implied space located between these two realms.

    The exhibition features recently realized works by artists who use traditional and non-traditional approaches to exploring the third dimension. Through the more typical practice of painting and sculpture to the use of refracted light and architectural intervention, a psychoactive sensibility to manipulate our notions of reality and perception of space emerges. It allows a momentary lapse into our individual invented landscape of alternative ‘dimensional’ experiences and thus a welcome liberation from our normal reality of the physical form.

    artist list: 
    Gelah Penn, Nici Bungey, Carla Fache, Bea Last, José María Banús, Kaveh Ossia, Maureen Meyer, Laura Mosquera, Guido Winkler, Hanna ten Doornkaat, Cecilia Sjoholm, Michael Ryan, Nicolas Vionnet, Johan Van Oeckel, Anne Commet, Sherna Teperson, Cécile Dupaquier, Harmen van der Tuin, Jochem op ten Noort, Lavinia Gallie, Laura Duerwald, Boldizsar Szenteczki, Véronique Chagnon Côté, Annette Mewes-Thoms, Emily Stergar, Ioannis Lassithiotakis, Florentina Otari, Danja Tekić, Anne Wölk, Solveig Aalberg, Yun Ling Che

    Northern Lights
    As nature’s most spectacular light show, the aurora borealis is an unforgettable sight that’s shrouded in mystery. Colossal sheets of vividly colored light shimmy and dance across the night sky in locations near or within the Arctic Circle.

    The concept of dark sky parks is about the possibility to see a nearly natural night sky. Milkyway fans and astronomers could enjoy the fascination of stars. For thousands of years, the stars have been our companions. They have been a source of myths and legends and the origin of our calendar. The night sky has been a motivation for discovering the universe, for space flights and even science-fiction adventures.
    In many cities, the night sky is not visible through the overlaying of the scattered light of street lights, billboards, and facade lighting.
