The curtains were drawn for the wonderful opening of (ZIEH MIR DEN) ZAHN DER ZEIT

On view until April 25 with works by Elias Binder, Isabelle Heske, Karim Hussein, Simay Keles, Kay Lotte Pommer, Anja Rausch, Pepi Schikowski, Tim Vormbäumen

SIMAY KELES

Simay Keles‘ work moves between figuration and abstraction, depending on the series she is working on. The exhibition features works from her recent series Sunset Express Tours & Travels, which comprises two-layered mixed media paintings that are dedicated to those who have left their places of birth or long to leave for various reasons. She applies a sculptural approach to the canvas, as the spatial displacements resulting from the two layers create visual confusion, optical illusions and an unconventional perception of spaces. 

In a concept attempting to be as open as possible, we invited artists to show their work and present their practice without having set a curatorial framework, or requirements in terms of content, material or media. A snapshot of the present, mapping parallel paths and opposite outlooks, searching for uniting factors where none were prescribed.
