Welcome to Reality
The group exhibition in Berlin shows the world as it really is, captured by six artists, seen with their own eyes, understood with their hearts and interpreted with their minds.
October 08, 2024
Seeing the world with different eyes – that is what figurative painting allows us to do. It draws our attention to the detail, broadens our perspective or shows us a world as it could be, a world of possibilities, of dreams, of fantasy, perhaps a reality in the subjunctive, but in any case in the subjective of the artist who creates it. Six such subjective positions are brought together in this exhibition. All of them are contemporary and describe a section of our present, showing a spectrum of the topics that we are currently dealing with. You can discover agitated groups of people and tender intimacy, male camaraderie and great suffering, the light of the sun and the beauty of rain.

London, Tate Britain
»The 80s: Photographing Britain«
It was one of the most moving decades in the history of the United Kingdom: the 1980s, characterized by strikes, protests and AIDS. Photographers documented this period and in some cases became political activists themselves through their images. The exhibition The 80s: Photographing Britain opens on November 21 at the Tate Britain in London.

Guido Klumpe
In search of poetry in urban spaces
It is in the context of functional architecture in urban spaces that Guido Klumpe finds the motifs that he stages with his camera as the poetry of the profane. His picturesque images unfold an opulent effect with a reduced formal language, showing us the beauty of the moment in the flow of everyday life.
