Über Flächen

07.12.2023 – 02.02.2024
Christiane Feser
Anita Beckers

Anita Beckers Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition opening of artist Christiane Feser. The exhibition titled „Über Flächen“ will open on Wednesday, December 6th, and will run until February 3rd, 2024.

Christiane Feser’s works operate at the border between reality and illusion, between two-dimensional photography and three-dimensional object. Her art examines the relationship between formal structures and the interplay of light and shadow. In her photo objects, the artist reveals how photography can deceive perception by intricately weaving real objects and their photographic representations together. Through the apparent merging of materiality and its photographic interpretation, Christiane Feser creates a visual disturbance that invites a closer look and challenges the boundaries of photographic representation.

„Über Flächen“ showcases a selection of Christiane Feser’s latest works, originating from the geometric basic form of the line. Cut paper strips assemble into precisely staged compositions of individual surfaces, forming an image motif that evolves through a multistage process into a paper object where nothing is as it seems. It is precisely the intersection of art, perception, and imagination that Christiane Feser explores here. She uses the camera not only as a tool for capture but as a medium for expanding reality. This approach reveals a profound philosophical foundation. Her works not only reflect the visible aspects of reality but aim to establish a connection between the known and unknown. Christiane Feser’s art encourages transcending the concrete and material, opening a space for contemplating complex interweaving of temporal and reality layers. „Beyond Surfaces“ represents both aesthetic contemplation and an opportunity to penetrate the complexity of reality beyond what is purely visually perceptible.

Christiane Feser (born in 1977 in Würzburg) studied Visual Communication at the Hochschule für Gestaltung, Offenbach am Main under Heiner Blum and Lewis Baltz. Her works are held in significant collections including Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, DZ Bank Art Collection, Frankfurt; Museum Kulturspeicher, Würzburg; Mönchehaus Museum, Goslar; Zentrum für Kunst und Medien, Karlsruhe. Christiane Feser has exhibited in numerous international institutions such as the Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Museum für Konkrete Kunst, Ingolstadt; Centre for Contemporary Culture, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence; Museum Wiesbaden; Topographie de l’Art, Paris; Torrance Art Museum, Los Angeles; Kunstmuseum Bochum, and Kunstverein Gera, Museum Kulturspeicher Würzburg (selection). She lives and works in Frankfurt am Main.

Aufzeichnungen

02.09.2023 – 14.10.2023
Jan Schmidt
Anita Beckers

At the center of this exhibition are new, large-format works on paper. Reduced in appearance, they bear witness to the processes of their creation. They are records in the truest sense, in which time condenses in the form of traces of repeated actions. For an entire year, Jan Schmidt throws pieces of graphite onto a large sheet of paper. His records are neither ordinary notes of facts or memories, nor sketches of a visual impressions. Between concentration and distraction, they are rather to be understood as an approach to a contemplative state, which is only made possible by the casual and thousandfold repeated throwing gesture, which opens up space for thinking.

Jan Schmidt meticulously and with great perseverance explores processes and the transformation of materials that form the starting point of his artistic practice. This often results in series of works that include sculpture, installation, and video in addition to works on paper. Jan Schmidt draws our attention to the hidden potential of everyday processes and objects from our immediate surroundings, which he approaches with the precision of a natural scientist and a great deal of humility. A found limestone, two marbles, the leaves of a tree, a cordless screwdriver or graphite leads come into play, but rather indirectly and with unusual use. Jan Schmidt transfers scientific methods such as counting, ordering, measuring, and documenting into the field of art and at the same time pushes the boundaries of what is usually defines as art. The result of his experiments is not so much determined by him, but is significantly influenced by factors to which Jan Schmidt gives great leeway in his work: time and chance.

THE RED DESERT

Federico Solmi
Anita Beckers

Federico Solmis einzigartige Kombination von zeitgenossischen Technologien wie 3D- Animation und Videospiel-Software mit Malerei und Zeichnung basiert auf einem aufwendigen Entstehungsprozess und weist den in Bologna geborenen Autodidakten als technisch versierten Virtuosen aus. Dabei verbindet er nicht nur Medien unterschiedlicher Zeiten miteinander, sondern auch visuelle Elemente amerikanischer Pop-Asthetik mit der Kunstgeschichte seiner europaischen Heimat. Von Renaissance- Kunstlern wie Paolo Uccello mit seinen großformatigen Schlachtenbildern, uber das Genie des Fruhbarock Annibale Carracci, den Satiriker Francisco de Goya, bis hin zu den großen Dramaturgen des 20. Jahrhunderts aus Bildender Kunst und Film wie etwa Giorgio de Chirico, George Grosz und Fritz Lang – alle hat Federico Solmi eingehend studiert und daraus seine zeitgenossische und ausdrucksstarke Bildsprache entwickelt

Brüder und Schwestern

11.05.2023 – 24.06.2023
Andreas Mühe
Galerie Anita Beckers

On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the National Assembly in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt/Main, Galerie Anita Beckers presents for the first time the exhibition BRÜDER UND SCHWESTERN by photographer Andreas Mühe, with new works and works still in process.

Frankfurt and its Paulskirche, the cradle of democracy, become the test bed of German-German relations after 1945 in the cycle of works „Brothers and Sisters“. As is often the case in his artistic explorations, Andreas Mühe intertwines German history with the history of his own family by making the death of his great-grandparents in the cycle „Anna and Gottlob“ the starting point for his consideration of how we deal with victimhood and perpetration in our society. 45 ropes, which refer to the year of the end of the war in 1945, form the starting point for the consideration of a German-German history after 1945.
