Two Swabians meet in Rome: the artist Karin Sander and the communication designer Andreas Uebele. Both are good friends and, as it turns out, are both on scholarships at the Villa Massimo at the same time. Actually quite impossible, such a coincidence! But nice! At the villa they work, each on their own and both together: on the "Superromkomplex" (together), on the work "Karin Sander: Karin Sander" and on the typeface "Massimo grafia". These works will be shown and explained by the two of them.

For Berlin Art Week, the non-profit organisation Flussbad Berlin will be presenting the exhibition and auction "50 Für Bad Berlin" in the Red Salon of the Bauakademie. Fluss Bad Berlin is a civil society initiative for urban development committed to making swimming possible in the Spree Canal and, in the long run, in other sections of the Berlin Spree.
"50 Für Bad Berlin" will present works by mostly Berlin-based artists and architects who show solidarity with the objectives of the Fluss Bad Berlin project and the team behind it. They advocate a sustainable development of Berlin for the common good. They oppose the tendency to restrict for ideological reasons the debate on the future of the city (centre) to the historicising reconstruction of the Berlin of the early 20th century and the attempt to appropriate "art and culture" for that purpose. They want to emphasise instead that art and culture are closely linked to development initiatives such as Fluss Bad Berlin, which promote a more social, ecological, sustainable, and future- proof urban development.

BDA Wechselgespräch: Where does art stand?

Zirkulärer Pavillon, Stuttgart, Germany

With the scholarship holder Fabian A. Wagner, the artist Karin Sander and the architect Max Otto Zitzelsberger
Moderated by Christian Malycha

"We are taking the Summer of the Arts at Villa Massimo in Stuttgart – a celebration of the interplay between all the arts – as an opportunity to determine the current situation. In a dialog between art and architecture, we will discuss which parallel developments, fruitful stimuli, attractive forces and free spaces can develop in a mutual dialog. We want to approach the current state of the arts by reflecting on our own discipline as well as on the border areas between the disciplines. Can free spaces be created in the border areas between the two disciplines, which can override the constraints of the economy and enable new spaces for development? Villa Massimo offers such free spaces, at least for a moment."

Kunsthalle Bern 2024 is an ongoing project, which started two years ago with the acquisition of several copies of Karin Sander’s postcard work, sold at Kunsthalle Bern. The postcard, which the Bern institution produced for the group exhibition Genius Loci in 1998, becomes the reference point for new artistic gestures. The aim of the project is to set images in motion and provide a forum for artistic exchange. The first contributions are presented at KRONE COURONNE.

Inauguration of Asta und Christian C. Holler (1:3)

Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg, Germany

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Karin Sander is dedicating the two works to the history of the founding couple Asta and Christian C. Holler and making it visible in the museum in the form of collected adjectives from biographical sources, installed in the foyer. The adjectives describe and characterize the two personalities and their living environment, creating images of how and who they might have been. It is accompanied by a double sculpture of the founding couple made of 3D-milled aluminum. The necessary data was generated from historical photographs of the couple.

#255 ARCH+KUNST – Karin Sander

ARCH+ 04/2024

With contributions by Marc Angélil and Cary Siress, Marius Babias, Elke Bippus, Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley, Michael Hagner, Eva Menasse, Letizia Ragaglia, Matthias Sauerbruch, Regina Schmeken, Bettina Steinbrügge, Philip Ursprung, Harry Walter, Harald Welzer

With her interventions, the artist Karin Sander intervenes in the structures of spaces and institutions, changes them, re-contextualises them and invites their participatory appropriation.
In this monographic edition, the artist does the same with ARCH+ and develops a connection between the pages of the booklet and the wall as a constitutive artistic and space-forming element. The monograph also reflects on her contribution "Neighbours", conceived together with Philip Ursprung for the Swiss Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2023, which literally dissolved the dividing wall to the neighbouring pavilion.

Spaziocorpo: Demanio Marittimo. KM-278

Marzocca di Senigallia, Italy

Demanio Marittimo. KM-278 is a marathon dedicated to arts, architecture, design and to the Adriatic dimension. 12 hours of conversations, lectures, performances, films and installations will turn the beach into an actual public space, a land of welcome and exchange.

11.30 pm, Maratona Biennale Uno
The 13th edition has given life to an ideal partnership with the 18th Architecture Biennale, curated by Anglo-Ghanaian Lesley Lokko, who focused her curatorial effort in the same direction as many of Demanio’s usual themes. A marathon of panels will involve a number of curators of national pavilions and exhibited artists, with presentations by Josephine Michau, James Taylor Foster, Karin Sander, Fosbury, Mia Roth Cerina, Meriem Chabani and many others.

The Biennale marathon will have interludes with talks by Philippe Rahm, Matilde Cassani, Michael Obrist, Pierpaolo Tamburelli. Angela Vettese and Marco De Michelis will discuss the issue of Bodyspace in the arts, whereas Luca Galofaro and Manuel Orazi will interview Sara Marini as the founder and editor of Vesper, an architecture journal.

Ideoscapes

i8 Gallery, Reykjavík, Iceland

Sander’s Ideoscapes is the fourth solo exhibition at i8 Gallery. It features maquettes of twelve Icelandic mountain landscapes retrieved and printed directly from Google Earth 3D geospatial data. Approaching the digital data as found objects, the artist’s minimal intervention consists of selecting the data at scales just big enough to contain each mountain and its surrounding context, given the maximum width of the printer’s output.

Ideoscapes captures each mountain as a memory of sorts, its data’s conflated past moments of Google Earth’s scanning, imaging, and compositing retrieved by Karin Sander at a specific date and time. In installation, removed from a sense of shared history, geography, and scale, the landscapes suggest their own intangible, resonant qualities. The works, printed with the latest technology, are immaculate and precise, but precision is a relative term. Here it defines a faithfulness to the data rather than the landscapes themselves. The works are not models but rather 3D landscape paintings, or perhaps more accurately, 3D landscape photographs since they are in essence printed images. They are, in fact, 3D renderings of composited 3D scans and 2D images of 3D geologic features, and in this translation the precision lies as much in their finished forms as the artist’s ability to divine poetic potentials across the disconnects and ambiguities in and between the processes of their making.

Am Seegarten is a temporary exhibition project on the fabled grounds of the former industrial town Kirchmöser. It unites the silent green Kulturquartier and nine galleries with selected positions from their programmes. Site and time specific, the exhibition approach is inspired by the compound’s rich history and complex beauty.

Much Ado About Nothing

Galeria Vera Cortês, Lisbon, Portugal

With Angela Detanico, Rafael Lain Charbel-joseph H. Boutros, Daniel Gustav Cramer, Ignasi Aballí, Karin Sander, Nicolás Lamas, Rémy Zaugg

Much Ado About Nothing, is a kind of (hopefully) humorous yet serious look at different practices that deal with almost nothing – be it a no material, no "artistic" process in a generally used sense of the word.

Fragment of an Infinite Discourse

Lenbachhaus, Munich, Germany

With Rosa Barba, Maria Bartuszová, AA Bronson, David Claerbout, Katharina Fritsch, Maureen Gallace, Ryan Gander, Mario García Torres, General Idea, Rodney Graham, Giorgio Griffa, Wade Guyton, Eberhard Havekost, Olaf Holzapfel, Raimer Jochims, On Kawara, Barbara Klemm, Beate Kuhn, Isa Melsheimer, Prabhavathi Meppayil, Florin Mitroi, Johannes Nagel, Senga Nengudi, Roman Ondak, Helga Paris, Stephen Prina, Anri Sala, Karin Sander, Wilhelm Sasnal, Tino Sehgal, Wiebke Siem, Phil Sims, Florian Süssmayr, Rosemarie Trockel, Jeff Wall, Peter Welz

The exhibition "Fragment of an Infinite Discourse" was designed in honor of the donation made by Jörg Johnen. It is presented together with selections from the collections of the Lenbachhaus and the KiCo Foundation. The title of the exhibition refers to a work of art by Mexican conceptual artist Mario García Torres: three glass rings interlock without touching one another. The work serves as the exhibition’s opening gambit and visualizes its program.

The Temptation to Exist – Alfredo Jaar

Galerie Thomas Schulte, Berlin, Germany

With Bas Jan Ader, Letizia Battaglia, Dawoud Bey, Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, Stanley Brouwn, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luis Camnitzer, Hanne Darboven, Gino de Dominicis, Juan Downey, Valie Export, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Hans Haacke, Jenny Holzer, Joan Jonas, Birgit Jürgenssen, On Kawara, Seydou Keïta, Yves Klein, Joseph Kosuth, Jannis Kounellis, Piero Manzoni, Gordon Matta-Clark, Zanele Muholi, Shirin Neshat, Yoko Ono, Giuseppe Penone, Gerhard Richter, Karin Sander, Carolee Schneemann, Malick Sidibé, Dayanita Singh, Nancy Spero, Lawrence Weiner, Francesca Woodman et al.

The exhibition "The Temptation to Exist" can be divided into two parts. In the first gallery room, an immersive experience is created with a large, red neon work by Jaar himself. The words of the stoic philosopher Seneca take center stage here – "WHAT NEED IS THERE TO WEEP OVER PARTS OF LIFE? THE WHOLE OF IT CALLS FOR TEARS.” Seneca strongly believed that if we have the essentials and a strong inner spirit, we can radically accept and endure any circumstances. Eschewing the presence of other objects, the room is entirely illuminated with a dense red light, building an atmosphere of poetic uncertainty, mirroring the unease of contemporary times. The philosopher’s emblematic phrase glimmers in the space, reacting to the tyranny of the white box space and filling it with an idea – a model for thinking about the world.
The second gallery space is filled with more than 100 works from a diverse group of artists as well as a small selection of Jaar’s own works. Here, the artist has tried to create what he calls “a space of resistance, a space of hope.” In juxtaposition to Jaar’s own neon work that was primarily created in resistance to Pinochet’s dictatorial regime in Chile (1973–1989), he has selected works from 72 artists who have sought to resist and change the world since the 1950s.

Karin Sander – The Window

Esther Schipper, Seoul, South Korea

Karin Sander's presentation as part of "The Window" series centers on her site-specific work 37°32'13.199"N 126°59'17.352"E, presented in the street-facing window. Characteristic of Sander's conceptual practice, this work has a tautology at its core; the title of the work also names the location where it is installed and constitutes its only visual manifestation, black vinyl character on the wall spelling out the coordinates of the site. In addition, a selection of works from Sander's series of Mailed Paintings, Patina Paintings, and Glass Pieces will be presented throughout the other rooms of the gallery.

Biennale Architettura 2023

18th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy

Following an open call, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia has chosen to entrust the exhibition of the Swiss Pavilion for the Biennale Architettura 2023 to Karin Sander and Philip Ursprung. Their project "Neighbours" highlights both the spatial and structural proximity of the Swiss Pavilion to its Venezuelan neighbour and the professional bond of the pavilions’ two architects: the Swiss Bruno Giacometti (1907–2012) and the Italian Carlo Scarpa (1906–78):

“The Swiss and the Venezuelan Pavilion form an ensemble of exceptional architectural and sculptural quality. Despite this, they are conceived as separate because of their representative function, and thus, are staged accordingly. We focus on the two pavilions and their surroundings, dissolving their borders with artistic means”, Karin Sander and Philip Ursprung explain. “We see the two pavilions as a spatial continuity and articulate what already exists. The pavilion is no longer functional as a container for housing an exhibition of some kind – instead, the architecture itself, its material and spatial relations is turned into the exhibit. Acting within the perspective of art, we can do things differently than within architecture. Neighbours is also an open conversation between art and architecture.”

The 5th edition of the Art Encounters Biennial 2023: My Rhino Is Not a Myth focuses on the intersection between art, science and fictions, by exploring their potential to reclaim reality as a mesh of complex processes. In between scientific explorations and imaginative speculation, it touches upon stories of the unknown and the drive to change, adapt or subvert.

The project in Baden-Baden will now also bring together 31 female contemporary artistic positions in an exhibition that opens up current perspectives on this theme.

The Industrial Art Biennial (IAB) is an international exhibition of contemporary art. The project was initiated in 2016 by the activist collective Labin Art Express. The Biennial is conceived as an experimental laboratory. Its starting point passes from the industrial topography of Istria, and reflects the phenomena which shaped the social and cultural landscape of the region.
The Industrial Revolution was not only followed by profound economic and social changes. It also led to a radical change in our understanding of art: Modernism, Futurism, Expressionism, and Impressionism are artistic reactions to the mechanisation of the world. New modes of expression were needed to understand the radical transformation of society. The 4th IAB reflects how the Istrian Peninsula, Raša, was particularly including the cities of Rijeka, Pula, Labin, and influenced in many ways by these processes and was home to an impressive number of pioneering personalities and initiatives – attempting to turn utopian ideas into reality.

The exhibition showcases the diversity and rich creativity of contemporary printmaking. Still too often dismissed as of minor significance, the medium is today distinguished by its exploration of forms, supports and techniques – neons, banners, thermoformed objects, laser engraving and 3D printing. It is also, increasingly, a front line in campaigns on such social issues as women's emancipation and the interaction between humanity and the environment in the Anthropocene.

The title of the wandering exhibition Alptraum was inspired by the paintings of the Swiss artist Johann Heinrich Füssli (1741 Zurich – 1825 London) who painted different versions of "Incubus“ (Nachtmahr). He made the world of dreams and visions subject of his paintings inspired by ghost stories. The wandering exhibition "Alptraum“ has been travelling through the world since 2010 and connects artists from all over the world, reflecting on artistic, social and cultural circumstances individually concerning The Nightmares and their interpretation or reflection in drawing, collage, photography / works on paper.

Biennale Architettura 2023: Neighbours

18th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy

Karin Sander and Philip Ursprung are to represent Switzerland with their project titled "Neighbours".
Two national pavilions and a wall that connects as well as separates, are the focus of Karin Sander's and Philip Ursprung's project "Neighbours" for the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. By turning the architecture itself into the exhibit, the artist and the architecture historian introduce the audience to new perspectives on the territorial relations within the Giardini of La Biennale.

After an open call, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia has chosen to entrust the exhibition of the Swiss Pavilion for the Biennale Architettura 2023 to the artist Karin Sander and the architecture historian Philip Ursprung. Their project "Neighbours" highlights both the spatial and structural proximity of the Swiss Pavilion to its Venezuelan neighbour and the professional bond of the two architects: the Swiss Bruno Giacometti (1907–2012) and the Italian Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978).

Special Edition: Sphere

revealed at i8 gallery, Reykjavík, Iceland

On the 20th anniversary of "The Globe of Goodwill", Karin Sander has, in addition to this year’s artwork "Sphere with mark", made a special collector’s piece in 20 editions. Titled Sphere, the transparent Globe of Goodwill may look like a flying, fragile soap bubble, but its appearance is deceptive: completely solid glass, they weigh individually almost 1 kg and with their weight they might bring the branch of the Christmas tree in its balance to its limits.

Limited Edition: The Globe of Goodwill 2022

Kærleikskúlan, Iceland

Kærleikskúlan ("The Globe of Goodwill") is an Icelandic initiative that invites every year one international artist to create a special artwork. The globes are produced as a limited edition to help children with disabilities in Iceland.

This year’s Globe of Goodwill 2022 was created by Karin Sander. For "Sphere with mark" a single brushstroke was applied to the transparent Globe of Goodwill as a clear, painterly gesture. The brushstroke’s one end is wispy, it reveals the viscosity of the color and tells of a gesture that is both cautious and energetic. So the bauble becomes a mobile painting that constantly changes and allows the place to become integrated in the painting itself.
It is a limited edition and is only sold for 15 days in December.

Collection1: Faraway Places / Nearby Places

Nationalmuseum of Art, Osaka, Japan

With Nobuaki Takekawa, Mirosław Balka, Ilya Kabakov, Christian Boltanski, Boris Mikahilov, Józef Szajna, Ágnes Szépfalvi / Csaba Nemes, Ryuichi Ishikawa, Chikako Yamashiro, Futoshi Miyagi, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Yoko Matsumoto, Natsuko Sakamoto, Isamu Ngochui, Noe Aoki, Shigeo Toya, Yoshihisa Kitatsuji, Karin Sander, Mark Manders, Yoshihiro Suda, Alexander Calder, Joan Miró, Henry Moore, Jiro Takamatsu

More than two years have passed since the new coronavirus pandemic transformed our lives. Not infrequently we feel as though our sphere of activities, but also our very lives, feelings, and perspectives had shrunk considerably. The exhibition at the Nationalmuseum of Art, Osaka, consists of works that broaden our narrowed vision.

Fragile! Alles aus Glas. Grenzfälle des Skulpturalen

Kunstmuseum Ahlen, Ahlen, Germany

With Hans Arp, Larry Bell, Christoph Brech, Erich Buchholz, Louisa Clement, Le Corbusier, Tony Cragg, Felix Droese, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Felicitas Fäßler, Hermann Finsterlin, Lucio Fontana, Gabriella Gerosa, Asta Gröting, Wenzel Hablik, Mona Hatoum, Bethan Huws, Marta Klonowska, Barry Le Va, Harvey K. Littleton, Adolf Luther, Christian Meger, Isa Melsheimer, Verena Pfisterer, Sebastian Richter, Karin Sander, Kai Schiemenz, Gerda Schlembach, Thomas Schütte, Robert Smithson, Bruno Taut, Timm Ulrichs, James White

Exhibition takeover from Kunsthalle Vogelmann, Heilbronn: glass fascinates since its discovery. In the diversity of its characteristics, viscous and crystalline, fragile and resistant, it shows itself to be a material that is artistically immensely challenging. The exhibition sets itself the task of tracing the sculptural emancipation of the material glass from the turn of the century to the present in a multifaceted way.

The exhibition investigates the use of gold as a (colour) material, its fusions and reinterpretations and looks with artistic positions at and behind the gilded surfaces and objects, which are no longer necessarily about the representation of eternity and wealth. Or is this magical relationship today merely deformed into other symbols and signs of recognition?

"What you see is not what you get" (22 exhibitions)

Esther Schipper, Berlin, Germany

For the fourth solo exhibition with gallery Esther Schipper Karin Sander has gathered different works from her œuvre and from these she has curated 22 exhibitions.

Karin Sander has carefully packed these particular, individual selections into transport crates and then closed them; the crates offer protection and sometimes contain instructions regarding the various, small- and large-format art works they hold. The exhibits are well kept in their transport crates, present in the gallery space but eluding visibility. Each transport box has its own size, bears its unique title, lists the materials used in the works, and contains what goes with the installation of the works and the respective exhibition.
The tension between visibility and presence is also a motif of the new augmented reality exhibition conceived by Karin Sander. Visitors can use VR glasses to virtually visit other exhibitions in the gallery. This visible, albeit virtual, presentation forms a counterpoint to the 22 physically present exhibitions – it lets visitors see works that are not physically present, while the works in the shipping crates are present but not visible.

The exhibition pain/t/hing - ausser Haus shows seven positions that can be located in the fluid terrain between painting, sculpture, object and installation.

Vom Zauber der Handbewegung

Eine Geschichte der Zeichnung im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert
Museum Pfalzgalerie, Kaiserslautern, Germany

The exhibition at Museum Pfalzgalerie presents the vitality of drawing today. Many contemporary artists have conquered drawing for themselves as an inexhaustible creative space, directing the magic of the drawing hand movement to fascinating line composition, sometimes strict and concrete, sometimes virtuosically moved. Drawing today has emancipated itself into a medium that questions itself, and that allows for events that not infrequently also seem to elude the controllability of the artists.

ThisPlay

Arter, Istanbul, Turkey

This collection-based group exhibition revolves around the concepts of childhood and play. The exhibition aims to explore the liberating aspect of play, its defiant capacity to suspend and reconstruct reality, and the ways it transcends the humdrum of daily life to create unique systems and structures of meaning of its own, within the context of artworks, and the experiences they offer.
Approaching art both as a maker and breaker of play through concepts such as competition, tension, chance, imitation, ritual, magic, trance, and pleasure, the exhibition opens up space for play for both adults and children where there is no winner or everyone wins.

This was a time when a number of young artists experimented with creating art from light and new materials. Nowadays they are known collectively as the Light and Space movement. The new departures and experiments introduced by those artists have inspired and shaped several contemporary artists and architects.

Relating, in a broad sense, to contemporary phenomena in the context of friendship, nature and culture, the artistic works from a period of 100 years form networks and explore the interplay between art and human coexistence.

The point of sculpture

Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona, Spain

With Antoni Gaudí, Julio González, Alexander Calder, Joan Miró, Apel·les Fenosa, Lygia Clark, On Kawara, Karin Sander, Robert Smithson, Bruce Nauman, David Medalla, Eva Lootz, Susana Solano, Pipilotti Rist and Wolfgang Tillmans et al.

The Point of Sculpture offers an overview of the practice of modern and contemporary sculpture from an asynchronous, heterogeneous perspective that also includes older pieces and anonymous objects. The exhibition, arising from the ambition of twentieth-century sculpture to move beyond representing and generating images, also aims to show the major transformation of this discipline in the twenty-first century with the implementation of new techniques and the emergence of new imaginaries and sensibilities.
The exhibition illustrates how sculpture has held a tense dialogue with reality over the course of its history, capturing objects, bodies and narratives, and how it continues to have ties to the earliest expressions of the urge to sculpt. Accordingly, close to one hundred pieces selected by David Bestué are presented in seven spaces and address issues such as the copy and representation of reality, experimentation with materials, the exploration of the physical properties of sculpture, the relationship between the object and the subject, the relationship of sculpture with time, as well as the representation of the human figure and the expression of complex emotions such as sexual desire.

The broad spectrum of meaning of the colour white, of void and silence in the visual arts, and the associated difference between materiality and immateriality. The exhibition explores artistic/aesthetic practices from the 1950s/60s until the present day that have brought about critical and process-based artistic positioning at international level in selected circles.

Karin Sander

Kunsthalle Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany

Over the past four decades Karin Sander has developed an artistic position of her very own in the tradition of Post-minimalism. She smashed the rigid attitude of the Concept Art of the 1960s, expanding it by means of sensually processual-participatory approaches.

She responds to everyday, architectural, institutional or social givens with a seismographic intuition and uses subtle interventions to change them. For example, she burnishes images into the wall by turning the quadrature of the conventional placing on the wall into a mirror of the surroundings. Or else she breaches the symbolism of the depiction of an object in a museum, like in the series of “Kitchen Pieces”, for example, in which instead of the vanitas of a still life, the fruit actually present decays before our eyes.

Her works not only exhale the strictness of Minimalism in formal terms, they also unfold an unexpected poetry. Linking into the premise of Minimal Art, a major role is ascribed to the viewer’s perception. By making us not only think her works through to the end, but also respond to these with all our senses, Karin Sander’s works ultimately realise the utopia of Minimal Art so as to objectivise our perception and lead it to a schematic clarity and logic.

The Art of Diminished Difference

House of Arts Brno, Brno, Poland

With Josef Dabernig, Ann Veronica Janssens, Žilvinas Kempinas, Karin Sander, Bill Viola, Martin Vongrej, Heimo Zobernig

The aim is to present trends in visual art whose common denominator is work with minimal or diminished differentia or nuance constituting an opposite to prominent contrast – including ephemeral objects provoking the perception experience through dissolving solid forms, material instability, semantic vagueness, permeability of contexts, etc. The event is also a reminder of the clandestine action/exhibition of the artists Stano Filko, Miloš Laky and Ján Zavarský entitled White Space in a White Space, which took place in the House of Arts more than forty years ago (1974).

Book Launch: Skulptur / Sculpture / Scultura

Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Cologne, Germany 2020

With text contributions by Letizia Ragaglia, Marion Ackermann, Marius Babias, Konrad Bitterli, Marc Glöde, Alistair Rider, John Waters, Harald Welzer et al.

The new catalogue by Karin Sander, like many of her monographs, presents itself with its own concept, its own logic, its own order on 224 pages, in three languages. The sequence of the illustrations is based on the size of the works, from the smallest to the largest work, and in the same way the illustrations are shown in relation to the work from small to large, pushing the respective text to the work to the edge of the page in ever smaller font sizes. Andreas Uebele was responsible for concept, design and typesetting.

The catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition Skulptur / Sculpture / Scultura at Museion, Bozen, in collaboration with büro uebele.

For berlin art week, the haubrok foundation officially opens its new rooms at Strausberger Platz 19 — 2 floors above the space in which we have already held more than 25 exhibitions between 2007 and 2013. The new rooms, a former apartment more or less in its original historical condition, are primarily intended for the presentation of small-format, ephemeral, and conceptual works.

On a warm autumn day in 2009, an artist, a gallery owner and two collectors visited the premises in Bülowstrasse 90 for the first time. Impressed by the spacious floor of the old building and the possibilities, these four made a completely unexpected promise – KUNSTSAELE Berlin was born. The exhibition Freitod will now mark the end of the more than 10-year history.

KölnSkulptur #10: ÜberNatur – Natural Takeover

Skulpturenpark Köln, Cologne, Germany

The Cologne Sculpture Park is a unique exhibition venue featuring loaned works from past KölnSkulptur exhibitions. Every two years, a curator is invited to add new artworks to this constellation of outdoor sculpture. All of the works shown at KölnSkulptur, most of them being commissioned especially for the exhibition. The Skulpturenpark Köln is thus a unique hybrid of permanent display and temporary group exhibition.

ÜberNatur – Natural Takeover marks the 10th iteration of the biannual KölnSkulptur exhibition of contemporary outdoor sculpture. Eight new works have been added to the Skulpturenpark Köln this year. Inspired by the location of the public park – wedged between the Rhine, the Cologne Zoo, the Flora and the adjacent Botanical Garden – as curator of this year’s KölnSkulptur, artworks have been commissioned or selected that engage with notions of nature and initiate dialogue with the natural environment.

Open Codes. We are data

Azkuna Zentroa, Bilbao, Spain

The exhibition is a reflection on the world we live in today: a world that is created and ruled by codes. Digital codes determine how we perceive our surroundings, they influence our financial systems, our legislations and our business models; in essence, they shape and create new horizons for social, economic, or cultural activity.

"Open Codes. We are data" is conceived as an experimental space for creative encounters, where knowledge production on understanding computer codes and artistic approaches take place at a single venue. It is an attempt to engage with today’s realities and point out perspectives and lines of development for the future in order to better understand the world we live in: a world that has become a field of data.

Open Codes?

Kunstraum Leuphana University Lueneburg, Lueneburg, Germany

In collaboration with the ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany

This curatorial re-presentation draws on two defining moments of contemporary artistic practice, namely the installation and the interactive – and asserts a synchronic logic against the prevailing, diachronic imaginary of the digital. The "Open Codes" trailer asks how these articulative idioms are themselves shaped by the very technological developments – most notably, computer-assisted graphic design and artificial intelligence – under investigation in the ZKM exhibition.

Book Release: Two Crime Stories, Kunst Museum Winterthur

Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Cologne, Germany 2018

Karin Sander: Oliver Bottini – Winter Death. A Crime Story, ed. Konrad Bitterli, Kunst Museum Winterthur, Switzerland

Karin Sander: Zoë Beck – Fake It Or It Didn't Happen. A Crime Story, ed. Konrad Bitterli, Kunst Museum Winterthur, Switzerland

In the highly charged area between reality and fiction, Karin Sander has commissioned two acclaimed crime-fiction authors to write a story each especially for her solo exhibition at Kunst Museum Winterthur. Unlike the usual catalogue texts that accompany art exhibitions, the text itself is turned into an artwork. The two crime stories by renowned and award-winning authors, Zoë Beck and Oliver Bottini, carry the reader off to a completely fictional world that collides with the reality of the art created by the artist.

Berlin Britzenale 2

Kleingartenkolonie Morgentau, Berlin, Neukölln-Britz, Germany

17 artists locate their work in the semi-public situation of the garden colony "Morgentau" in Neukölln's district of Britz. Not only the spatial subdivisions and demarcations, but especially the social aspects appear to make this club model exciting for artists.
The popular "Laubenpieper" architectures will be scrutinized by the artists for the second Berlin Britzenale. The nearly Babylonian creativity
of the tenants brings out beautiful, astonishing but also absurd things. The Britzenale deals with the creative process that stands behind the
nature of such structures and constructions, and will artistically comment on creative tendencies of demarcation as identity enhancers in
the context of allotments.

Interview: Karin Sander

Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Baden-Baden, Germany

Karin Sander in conversation with Dietrich Brants as part of the radio series SWR2 Zeitgenossen

The artist Karin Sander develops specifically site-specific works that always sharpen the eye in new ways for the complex relationship between the artwork and its "carrier", be it the wall, the room or the entire institution. In conversation with Dietrich Brants, Karin Sander talks about her encounters in the art world and the artistic medium of the "exhibition".
