NEWSLETTER KICKEN BERLINPARIS PHOTO 2016

Paris Photo 2016 At this year’s Paris Photo, Kicken Berlin will show a presentation of modern and contem-porary photography under the title About Ab-straction. The free play of forms—lines, sur-faces and structures—manifests itself in art-works from the 1920s to the present. Additio-nal themes are the human figure as a sculptu-ral and graphic subject, as well as East German photography from the 1970s and 80s. Photography as the art of light is displayed in the central cabinet. In tableaux with nine images each, Sigmar Polke, Floris Neusüss and Czech artist Jaroslav Rössler enter into produc-tive dialogue. Their amorphous (Polke, Rössler) or precisely circular (Neusüss) manipulations of light can only be rendered visible and per-manent using photographic means. Thus they bear witness to the alchemichally mysterious process of generating photographic images from light and chemical substances.

Multifarious correlations between geometrical and linear forms are made visible in the overview

of works by such diverse artists from the 1920s to 50s as Lotte Jacobi, Otto Steinert, Peter Keetman, Kilian Breier, Monika von Boch, Josef Sudek, or contemporary photographers Joachim Brohm and Götz Diergarten. Especially the oeuvre of Peter Keetman—whose 100th birthday was celebrated this year—which spans several decades, reaffirms the singular ability of photography to not only document processes but to illustrate them. This ability is also exemplified by another art form, which has its roots in late 1960s Germa-ny: action art (Aktion) and performance. The situation of an artistic “action” is usually captu-red in photography and film, as the work of Klaus Rinke shows. He measures the dimensi-ons of rooms with his body, performs paradig-matic gestures, so-called “primary demonstra-tions” and sculptural actions, which are visible today in photo sequences. The Japanese artists Kiyoshi Niiyama, Soichi Kiyooka, Kozo Haramoto and Kaoru Ohto, con-temporaries of the international “Subjective Photography” movement in the mid-20th cen-tury, direct their attention to the appearances of everyday life. These are emblematically dis-torted in stark, black-and white contrast, thus approaching abstraction. These works are complemented by Charles Fréger’s explorations of ritual mask figures, “Yokainoshima,” in rural Japan, and by Hans-Christian Schink’s photo-graphs from his travels in Asia. Transfigurations of the human body in sculptu-ral or delicate, graphic styles are rendered by the Pictorialist and Surrealist avant-gardes, with Heinrich Kühn, Erwin Blumenfeld and

Pablo Picasso’s photo cutouts. Sibylle Berge-mann transports the erratic into the recent past with her Marx-Engels memorial. Berge-mann leads us to the rich scene of East Ger-man photography in the 1970s and 80s. Ute and Werner Mahler, Roger Melis, Harald Haus-wald and Helga Paris recorded everyday life beyond the iron curtain. Their focus lies on social interaction in public and private spheres, with a great sensitivity for nuances that scarce-ly found a place in the official self-presentation of East Germany. The West German counter-part to this position is manifest in Wilhelm Schürmann’s eye for the scenery and people of an area of his hometown, Dortmund.

IN DEUTSCHLAND: RELOADED (II) curated by Wilhelm Schürmann In our Berlin space, the exhibition In Deutsch-land: reloaded (II) has been extended to De-cember 16th due to its enormous public ap-peal. Artist and curator Wilhelm Schürmann, one of the original co-curators of the seminal, eponymous 1979 exhibition at Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn, expands the spectrum of the original show through its re-envisioning from today’s perspective. Schürmann’s view focuses on documentary perspectives in West and East Germany since the late 1970s into the present and includes artists Sibylle Berge-mann, Arno Fischer, Jochem Hendricks, Karl-Ludwig Lange, Thomas Leuner, Rudi Meisel, Simone Nieweg, Gabriele and Helmut Nothhel-fer, Helga Paris, Peter Piller, Arne Schmitt, Ha-rald Schmitt, Petra Wunderlich and Ulrich Wüst.
