Opening of “Attention Economy” by Christine Hill…Galerie EIGEN + ART, Leipzig
Here are some impressions of Berlin-based artist Christine Hill’s recent opening of her show
“Attention Economy” at the Galerie EIGEN + ART in Leipzig. A self-proclaimed “stationery fetishist”,
Christine uses the event of her eighth solo exhibition with the gallery to consider the thinking structure of the artist, in a series of 26 drawings that are presented day by day. She also explores some Zeitgeist-like themes such as social media jargon, organizational trends, and indeed, our attention economy.

At the C/O Gallery…Hardenbergstraße, Berlin
Here some impressions from two inspiring photography exhibitions I went to see in Berlin at the C/O Gallery. Firstly Torbjørn Rødland and his exhibition titled “Back in Touch” and secondly the Joel Meyerowitz Retrospective “Why Colour?”. Norwegian-born, Los Angeles-based photographer Torbjørn Rødland likes to focus on mysterious details wanting us to question our perception of situations and reaching into our psyche, conjuring up fears, urges, fetishes, fantasies and longings. The New York photographer Joel Meyerowitz started in 1962 experimenting with using color photography and added black-and-white photography to his work just shortly afterwards. From the mid-1970s onward, he created precisely composed studies in light on Cape Cod on the East Coast, which are today regarded as icons of contemporary photography.
What captured me the most, was the gorgeous vintage colour compositions and Joel Meyerowitz photographs of real street style or lets better say real street life situations, not beautified, not staged, just real life scenarios at a certain time and place.
The Shadow Side of Things…Deichtorhallen, Hamburg
Whenever I am Hamburg, I go to Deichtorhallen and the ‘Haus der Photographie’. This time, it was the last day of showing works by photographer Andreas Mühe and Viviane Sassen. Her exhibition titled UMBRA (Lat. Shadow), focuses on the play between light and shadow and between realism and abstraction.
Here just some impressions.
Jürgen Teller – Enjoy Your Life!…Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin
The title of the exhibition Enjoy Your Life! beautiful captures Jürgen Teller’s Weltanschaung that life has to be simple to be enjoyable. An extreme look at normality, capturing the ordinary and extraordinary full of tenderness and passion.
The exhibition is still on until the 3rd July 2017 at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin.
