About

When exhibiting together, it is playful to deal with one’s own work, in relation to the space and the artistic position of the other, while questions of demarcation, negotiation, aesthetics and the effect of interaction play a major role. As in a relationship, one’s own position and one’s own space are explored, fought over, redefined, negotiated, determined, and sometimes spontaneous new structures. It is important that also room is left and made available, Intersections and common interests are just as necessary as allowing the stranger. The goal is the joint development of the (exhibition) space.
Susanne Ring presents current works on the subject of couples and presents her new catalog “Bag full of bones”.
Since 2010, the couple has been at the center of her artistic exploration as the smallest relationship unit. The groups of figures created under this aspect are, like all works of Susanne Ring, not fixable on stereotypes.
The perception of relationships and their manifold forms of play and dynamics is itself highly subjective. (Excerpt from the text “Die Dynamik der Stille” | Jacqueline Maltzahn-Redling, 2011)
Oliver Möst shows works from his series (Inside) Hamlet in which the ambivalence of the former barracks Leo and Adler and the Olympic Village of 1936 is treated.
Conceptual, not journalistic, photography with an poetic effect. The visual path to the motifs creates a rhythmical “relief”. The motifs portray both intimate connection and separation “framed” by the all-in-a-row arrangement of photo clips. Inside are doubled images, mirrored images, and reflexions. The additive images speak, but in riddles. What was once found is lost to an almost surreal, artistic quality - and doubled, multiplied motion is invariably around.
