Chert

Carla Scott Fullerton‘s If these walls had ears and Tyra Tingleff‘s I gave the postman your name exhibitions are on at Berlin’s Chert gallery, opening September 15 and running to October 31 and 17 (respectively).

The two exhibitions open as a part of the fourth Berlin Art Week starting the same night. The Norwegian Tingleff takes the poignant phrase by writer Gertrude Stein “emotional paragraphs are made up of unemotional sentences” and applies it to her layered paintings. Glasgow-based artist Fullerton’s If these walls had ears exhibition perhaps tellingly supplements its press release with no words at all.
