Tokyo Love. A Japanese Group Show curated by Yasha Young. Featuring: Nanami Cowdroy, Hush, Nishi, Shohei Otomo, Guy McKinley, Imaone, Xiao Bao, Tom Kristensen, Brian Horton. |
  |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Opens September 10th 7pm Traditional Japanese art can be characterized by the use of strong, technically perfect lines and attention to detail. From the carefully prescribed movements of Butoh dance, the elegant sweep of calligraphy, to the Ukiyo‐e woodblock prints of Hiroshige, all these art forms exhibit great elegance and precision. These elements have carried on into the Anime and Manga of popular culture, as can be seen echoed in the neon of Tokyo billboards and the refined lines of modern design. While artists from the West are drawn to the precision of Japanese art, so the rebelliousness of Western subculture has influenced the underground within Japan. There, the underground scene has used hip‐hop, punk, goth and rockabilly from the West as an escape from the traditions and constrictions of Japanese culture. This rebellion has also found an outlet within modern art – traditional forms and images, such as samurai, geisha, and kabuki, are subverted as the artists’ critique of the society in which they live. Tokyo Love brings together artists from around the world, united by their use of Japanese images and style. Whether from Japan, having Japanese heritage, or just sharing a love for it, these artists all show their feelings toward the country and culture – the contrasts between old and new, the clash between tradition and rebellion, the past meeting the future.

Oboslete Angels. Tales from a forgotten world captured in photographs by Annie Bertram (CH). In The Vault: Saturno Buttň (IT). |
  |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Opening August 13th 7pm. For many years now Annie Bertram has traveled throughout Europe to find and document places which inspire her, and radiate a magical appeal. Often she finds old and delapidated castles, buildings or industrial ruins that attract her and become a solid part of her photographic art. While discovering hallways and rooms her imagination is stimulated by her surrounding. Wondrous stories about what could have taken place in these houses, and what kind of creatures could have lived there, emerge in front of her eyes. Obsolete Angels tells fantasy tales about mysterious places and residents. It is about vulnerable mechanical creatures that once where conceived by their masters to relieve their lives or to provide company to their isolated and lonely owners. In cooperation with professional costume designers and special effect make up artists Annie Bertram created breath-taking objects for each story. Bertram’s sensitive way of photography let the protagonists and their wondrous homes become real. Obsolete Angels will drag you into a mysterious world that will cast a spell over you. Lost Area will perform their music live at the opening at Strychnin Gallery on August the 13th from 7pm. |

FutureScapes. A fabulous new group show that will change all perceptions of reality! Featuring Michael Page, Sri Whipple, Jason Wheatley and Damon Soule. |
  |
||||||||||||||||||||
A Book written by Zecharia Sitchen called “The 21st Planet” inspired all 4 artists to capture this fascinating theory in a series of artworks – all united in FutureScapes! The Book argues according to ancient records that the human the origin of the human species was created by superior life from a planet named Nibiru which orbits our planet every 3.600 years. With this in mind they have focused their visual contemplation and group collaborations onto to the new horizon of our near and quickly changing future. Cultural mythology is animated and manifested as real forms, our God forms are downloaded into memes and machines. Like the Shaman before us, the animal spirits are guides into these wonderlands of the human imagination and mankind's soul. Our current landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and especially mind‐scapes are all under going a profound transformation. Art creates the future.

Fragility. Wondrous dolls and creatures by Marina Bychkova. Also: Wendy Froud (UK) and Virginie Ropars (F) in The Vault + special guest Sasha Petrova. |
  |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Fragility unites three international luminaries of doll-creating art in one show. About 20 fragile figures pull the viewer out of the common two-dimensional frame and into three-dimensional space. First and foremost, however, these works impress by their sensitivity, their extraordinarity and their meticulous attention to detail. Opens June 11th at 7 pm. The porcelain dolls by Canadian artist Marina Bychkova are a provocation. They cross the boundaries of what defines a sculpture and constantly refuse to be seen as mere dolls. With 18 moveable ball-joints, the pale and vunerable looking dolls invite to be moved and posed but their often unadorned nudeness may keep some viewers from handling Bychkova’s creatures too freely. The cumbersome weight and rigidity of metal garments of the figures shown in this exhibition accentuate the delicate beauty of these porcelain dolls, acting both as a protective shell and an oppressive, restraining contraption for their little bodies. Wendy Froud was born in Detroit, Michigan. She is most famous as a sculpture and puppet fabricator for Jim Henson’s The Muppet Show, and the feature films like The Dark Crystal (sculpting and fabricating the main charaters Jen and Kira), Labyrinth (sculpting the goblins) and The Empire Strikes Back (as a sculptor and fabricator of Yoda). Wendy Froud's dolls ands figures are highly sought after and can be found in many prestigious collections around the world. Virginie Ropars was born in Brittany (France). She still lives and works in the same place, surrounded by nature and the legends and superstitions that have fed her mind since she was a child. After a Master’s degree in graphic art, she worked as a 2D/3D graphic artist for computer games and the TV cartoon industry.

Conquistadores. A group show featuring over 30 Spanish and Latin American artists |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Opens May 14 th at 7 pm. Runs until June 6 th. Conquistadores is an overview of fresh contemporary talent from Spain and Latin America that is – at least metaphorically speaking – out to conquer the world. Globalization has affected both the Spanish and Latin American art scene. Recent art contributions from these countries seem to be nothing but a footnote in global art history books. Far from it! Both art cultures are more alive than ever! And that is what the exhibition Conquistadores is about. It is based on a selection of Spanish and Latin American artists whose work deals with local and national issues that are representative of the general human condition in the 21st century. Executed in a variety of traditional disciplines such as painting, installation, sculpture or photography but also contemporary disciplines such as video or street art, these works represent common values of today’s global artistic community. We are very pleased to be supported by the Spanish and the Columbian embassy in Berlin. Curated by Maximiliano Ruiz (Argentina) and Yasha Young, director of Strychnin Gallery. Featuring among others: Herbert Baglione, Rene Almanza, Jazz, Gualicho, Fefe Talavera, Izolag, Vitche, Yusk, Rodez, Gabriel Moreno, San, Dixon and Saner.

March - deerBLNproject No.4 in The Vault. Curated by Christian Rothenhagen. |
  |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Opens February 12th at 7 pm - runs until March 7th Founded by Berlin artist Christian Rothenhagen in 2006, the deerBLNproject has a simple yet engaging concept: by personal invitation from Rothenhagen, artists are asked to submit an art work that adheres to only two rules. The first is that it has to relate to the topic “deer”. The second, it has to be a specific, set size (30 x30 cm). Any medium – such as painting, drawing, collage, assemblage, photography et cetera – is possible. The deerBLNproject is a constantly growing, travelling exhibition that has already been exhibited in Berlin (exhibition No.1), Vienna (No.2) and Cologne (No.3), featuring over 80 artists from 15 countries today. Exhibition No.4 brings it back to Berlin once more four years after its creation.
