Marianne Vlaschits @ DUVE, Sep 16 – Oct 29

15 September 2016

Marianne Vlaschits‘ solo exhibition *a disturbance travelling through a medium* is on at Berlin’s DUVE, opening September 16 and running to October 29.

Curated by Karim Crippa, the exhibition press release, written by Penny Rafferty, describes a speculative future where life on mars is ruled by a matriarchal system that respects the arts and leaves behind “the macho matter and their binary tech gadgets” of patriarchal earth.

For*a disturbance travelling through a medium*  the Austrian artist will transform the DUVE gallery space into a woman-run futuristic spaceship, based on the theory that women are engineered for cosmic travel, based on a cosmic bias towards the assumption that they are lighter and consume less calories than men.

See the DUVE website for details.**

Debora Delmar Corp. @ Duve Berlin, Jun 10 – Jul 16

8 June 2016

Mexico City-based artist Debora Delmar Corp. will present solo show *Headquarters* at DUVE Berlin, opening June 10 and running July 16.

Delmar, who founded Debora Delmar Corp. (also known as DD) in New York in 2011, has created a fictional juice brand called MINT, after the acronym Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey, a term popularized by Jim O’Neill from global investment banking organisation Goldman Sachs. This was under the premise that these countries will become the future economic powers, which —as the press release notes —does not necessarily reflect the current social, economic and political conflict happening there.

The show will combine corporate and organic aesthetics as the official head quarters of MINT, offering the promise of a dream lifestyle in its guise.

The work and exhibition is a part of 2016s Berlin Biennale.

See the DUVE Berlin website for more details.**

Art Cologne 2016, Apr 13 – 17

13 April 2016

Art Cologne is on again, this year celebrating its 50th anniversary and running in the German city April 13 and 17.

Last year mid-April was extremely busy so we wrote this, and picked out a couple of names like Katja Novitskova, Daniel Keller and Slavs and Tatars who contributed to the overall line up of the oldest art fair in the world.

This year sees a number of gallerists pairing up to present artists, like DREI and Proyectos Monclova who are collaborating in their presentation of artists Hayley Aviva Silverman, Anna Virnich and collective, Tercerunquinto, and Natalia Hug Gallery with LA’s Mier space who are presenting Jana Schroeder.

Maximilian Arnold, Christopher Füllemann and Leonhard Hurzlmeier will present with Berlin’s DUVE while Georgia-based Andro Wekua‘s show Anruf, opens at Kölnischen Kunstverein during the weekend of Art Cologne and continues until June 19.

See the Art Cologne website for the extensive list of around 200 international galleries.**

Ivan Comas @ DUVE Berlin, Nov 6 – Dec 18

4 November 2015

DUVE Berlin opens a solo show of new works by Argentinian painter Ivan Comas, titled Days Go By and running from November 6 to December 18.

The launch marks Comas’ first solo show in a European gallery, created during his stay in Berlin using industrial materials like cement and household paint in combination with photography and UV printing.

For the Buenos Aires-born, Paris-educated and LA- and Berlin- based artist, the “construction and deterioration of metropolitan cities” is often both the starting point and the theme, and the abstracted and textured canvases show a kind of struggle between green spaces and urban landscapes.

See the exhibition page for details. **

Marguerite Humeau @ DUVE, Apr 30 – Jun 6

28 April 2015

Another great solo show by French artist Marguerite Humeau is opening up this week, with *Echoes* running at Berlin’s DUVE from April 30 to June 6.

Her last exhibition in Berlin, Horizons, took over Import Projects with one of the best openings of the year, and she returns to the city with another feat of the imagination. In *Echoes*, we are told, the walls of DUVE are streaked with a yellow pigment as part of Humeau’s ‘Black Mamba’ installation. The pigment, sourced in Florida, contains 2 grams of fatally poisonous venom.

In front of the deadly mural are Humeau’s signature varnished white polystyrene sculptures. They too will participate in the toxic exchange of Humeau’s imagining: they will spend the next six weeks, “calmly generating potions and toxins – agonists and antagonists – as in the case of ‘Wadjet (King Cobra)’, which is engineered to produce its own antidote [and] ‘Sobek (Muhammad Ali)’ [which] produces resilient alligator blood on an industrial scale”.

See the DUVE exhibition page for details. *
