The award ceremony will take place at the ARCO Madrid fair on Wednesday, February 13.

22 January – 3 May 2013TEMPORARY EXHIBITION AREA: A new selection curated by Billur Tansel is on display, which concentrates around the theme of “Alienation/Estrangement”. These prominent terms that have gained significance in the sociological, conceptual, psychological, political and philosophical sense, in and after the twentieth century.With the development of science and critical thinking, the ability to believe in a transcendant basis for values and beliefs was lost and the latter was caused by a separation, disruption and fragmentation of things that until then seemed to properly belong together.In a system, where beliefs and values are in a total flux, a process of alienation/ estrangement proves to be unavoidable . And we, as the human beings, have to be a part of this change, or we will be left out.Through the study of the selected artworks made of various materials, the viewer is invited into an epistemological riddle. Each artist’s work suggests an alienation process of the human mind.The artists whose works can be viewed at the exhibition are Anne Wölk, Arslan Sükan, Aslı Torcu, Azade Köker, Bedri Baykam, Bengü Karaduman, Burcu Yağcıoğlu, Burhan Doğançay, Daniele Buetti, Danielle Kwaaital, Donald Baechler, Doug Aitken, Erdoğan Zümrütoğlu, Fausto Gilberti, Günther Förg, Hakan Onur, Hale Tenger, Hande Şekerciler, İhsan Oturmak, Jack Vanarsky, Johannes Wohnseifer, Kezban Arca Batıbeki, Loris Cecchini, Murat Germen, Mustafa Kula, Mustafa Pancar, Özlem Günyol, Paul Hodgson, Pınar Yolaçan, Piero Gilardi, Pieter Ombregt, Robert Gligorov, Roger Weik, Roman Lipski, Şenol Yorozlu, Şükran Moral, Volkan Diyaroğlu, Xavier Veilhan, Yaşam Şaşmazer and two contributing artists Orhun Erdenli and Yüce Karacagil. http://www.facebook.com/events/588904341125715/

PLAUSIBLE DREAMS, INTERESTING FEARS Groupshow at Kreuzberg Pavillon on December 8th 2012 with works by Anne Wölk, Sebastiaan Schlicher, Jennifer Jordan and Ekaterina Mitichkina http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.435440976505201.90090.100001179068974&type=1

_Press Release: While the apocalyptic interpretations of the end of the mayan calendar this year is still ongoing, dreams of plausibility and darker emotional and psychological spheres such as melancholia and fear becomes the field of interest in a new groupshow at Kreuzberg Pavillon. Instead of any straight representation of current affairs or explicit commentary, Sebastiaan Schlicher introduces the viewer to a darker existential reality in his drawings,videos, audio recordings and installations. The overwritings in Anne Wölk´s paintings deal with the construction of rich, impressive and contemplative atmospheres in landscapes while Jennifer Jordan preserves fragile and precarious physical states of her work in amorphous objects. Ekaterina Mitichkina presents a collaborative drawing she made along with other artists.

Artist in residence at Bodensee Art Fund, Wasserburg, Germany http://bodenseeartfund.tumblr.com/post/31282044957/anne-woelk-zu-gast-im-baf

Anne Wölk aus Berlin ist die zweite Stipendiatin im Bodensee Art Fund, die eine Woche in Wasserburg verbringen wird und sich malerisch dem Ort und den Menschen nähert. Am Ende ihres einwöchigen Aufenthaltes gibt es eine öffentliche Präsentation ihrer Arbeitsergebnisse.Präsentation Sa. 15. September 2012 um 18 Uhr  (Eintritt frei) Landschaftsräume und Naturbilder zwischen Realität und Fiktion bilden den Schwerpunkt in Anne Wölks künstlerischem Schaffen. Fotorealistische Elemente der Wirklichkeit verbinden sich fragmentarisch mit geometrischen Formen, Symbolen der Pop-Kultur, Drippings, Motiven aus Sience-Fiction Film Stills, gesprühten Graffitis der Street-Art-Szene, multikulturellen Symbolen und Zeichen zu einem illusionistischen Bildraum, der die Gesetze der Perspektive zugunsten eines zweidimensionalen Tiefenraumes auflöst. Rückgriffe auf Landschaftsdarstellungen der Romantik oder die Tradition des Symbolismus des 19. Jahrhunderts sind durch eine fundierte Kenntnis der Kunstgeschichte ebenfalls gewollt. In diesen Modus der Überlagerungen und Staffelungen der Bildmotive ist der Mensch allgegenwärtig: Zum einen durch Hinterlassen von Zeichen und Symbolen in der Landschaft – zumeist an Bäumen – welche ihren Platz eher in urbanen Räumen haben und Ausdruck einer autonomen Subkultur sind. Zum anderen auch als Figuren im Bild. Jung, trendmäßig, sportlich oder auch in Camouflage-Kleidung angezogen, verweben sie sich im Gespinst der Motive und Farben und sind scheinbar Teil der Wirklichkeitsebene zwischen Realität und Fiktion.
