Michael Müller "Dioskuren – Der geschenkte Tag" [Dioscuri – The Given Day] at @staatlichemuseenzuberlin @museumsinselberlin Neues Museum opens next weekend, 12 & 13 April.

The exhibition presented in the staircase hall of the Neues Museum, offers a dialogue on the meaning of time, mortality and the connection between past and present. Contemporary art meets historical space, refers to ancient models and offers a modern adaptation of the classical reception of the myth of the Dioscuri, who walk eternally between death and life. The exhibition revolves around the painting "Der geschenkte Tag" [The Given Day] by Michael Müller.

TWO INTERTWINED PERFORMANCES
INTRODUCING: MAURO VENTURA WITH KIANÍ DEL VALLE

Two Intertwinded Performances are two joint performances between Steve Katona and Mauro Ventura with Kianí del Valle.

Using the method of collage as a starting point, the interdisciplinary practice of Mauro Ventura evolves across painting, sculpture, installation and performance. Their investigation asserts itself on the research of ancient languages that study the occult, proposing a hyperreality or a parallel video-game like melting pot of syncretism.
These virtual realities indulge in ritualesque-like actions and ways of painting that question formats with the aim to transform social structures. Demons are a recurring
motif in Ventura ́s practice, used as a means to explore the duality of things, invoking two opposite spheres of life and exploring the polarities of light and dark, visible and
invisible, good and evil, presence and absence.

@salivasollidha

Kianí del Valle is a Berlin - Los Angeles based dancer, choreographer, director and performance curator originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Driven by anthropological, biological and sociological concepts, del Valle’s work merges the lines of contemporary dance and performance art within film, photography, architecture, pop culture, technology and sound. Her embodied practice is guided by the interdependence of physical exhaustion, intuitive groove, movement meditation, ritualistic practice, migratory journeys, and paranormal experiences. This is all intertwined within the craft of theatrics and amplified with a visual component that often taps into the magical, surreal, fictional and dystopic. Del Valle has developed a wide range of interdisciplinary solo works and is the founder, director and choreographer of the KDV PERFORMANCE GROUP.

TWO INTERTWINED PERFORMANCES
INTRODUCING: STEVE KATONA

Two Intertwinded Performances are two joint performances between Steve Katona and Mauro Ventura with Kianí del Valle.

Steve Katona is a German countertenor, composer, actor, and artist from Berlin. He studied opera at the UdK Berlin and works at the nexus of various artistic disciplines. His work encompasses a syncretism of musical, performative, and experimental elements that strive to dissolve the boundaries between genres.

For Gallery Weekend Berlin 2024, Steve Katona created a transcendent musical experience where vocals, an electrically modified zither, and a meditation bowl blended to craft a serene soundscape inspired by spiritual minimalism. Drawing from elements of sacred music like Gregorian chant, the performance offered a moment of reflection and inner peace. Without emphasizing religious contexts, Katona delved into the depths of the soul through music.

INVITATION
OPENING 24 APRIL 2024 6 - 9 pm

ICH SEHE WAS, WAS DU NICHT SIEHST
Works from the Bergmeier Collection

Why does a viewer feel more attracted to one work of art than another? Why is an art collector interested in certain works – without sometimes being able to say what exactly it is that fascinates them so much? What attracts collector Geraldine Michalke to works that conceal more than they reveal? Is it a sense of the unknown, a glimpse of the unseen? Curiosity as to what might be hidden in the invisible – ultimately the question: do I want to know it at all, do I want to make it visible? Or isn’t it much more intriguing to preserve the mysterious? A work of art draws attention, makes you change your perspective and discover something new.

From April 25 to May 10, KUNSTSÆLE Berlin is presenting „I see something that you don‘t see. Works from the Bergmeier Collection“, an exhibition of works that art collector and co- founder of KUNSTSÆLE Geraldine Michalke has gathered in the Bergmeier Collection over the past years. All the works have one thing in common: they defy immediate and unambiguous interpretation.

Art can create a space of not (yet) knowing, of uncertainty, surprise and vagueness, which makes it possible to see and discover the new, the completely different, the unknown. Or as Geraldine Michalke says when asked what the unifying element of the works she collects is: „I agree with Hajra Waheed, who is also represented in the exhibition and said in a conversation: ‚I am interested in the space of not knowing‘. Or with a quote from Richard Tuttle: ‚Art creates a space for mystery‘.“ The space of the unknown and the mysterious that art can open up is outlined in „I see something that you don’t see.“

Opening 24 April 6 - 9 pm
25 April - 10 May 2024 (by appointment only)
Lise-Meitner-Straße 39-41, 10589 Berlin

Michael Müller
Lektüre und Ablenkung

Volume 4.2 of the catalogue raisonné "Ernstes Spiel" [Serious Game] is out now and devoted exclusively to the large-format, 126-part work "Lektüre und Ablenkung" [Reading and Distraction], which belongs to the group of works called indexes. The basis for the index presented in this book is Jacques Derrida’s book "Vom Geist" [Of Spirit] in the German translation by Alexander García Düttmann, who also contributed an essay to the book.

But much more than the content of the book, Michael Müller is interested in the inevitable distractions that come to the fore during the intensive reading of a book. Meticulously documented, continued and elaborated in a wide variety of media—from text notes to drawings, photographs and collages to mathematical notations—the distractions integrated into the work unfold a multi-layered network of references, categorisations and relations that reveal structures of the ever wandering mind.

Edited by @alienathenafoundation, Hubertus von Amelunxen and Anne-Marie Bonnet
@deutscherkunstverlag / @degruyter_official, Berlin 2023
211 pages, 131 color illustrations
German, English and Chinese
ISBN: 978-3-422-80187-5
