Robert Loos: “buffer” at Kunstraum: Morgenstraße
Robert’s paintings were on show from the 07th of July til the 08th of August. Robert is a student at the Karlsruhe Art Academy, and his work is a very painterly – meta-painterly? – deconstruction of the landscape. “Landscape”, in this case, might be the romantic landscape of 19th century artists, but it might just as well be the urban landscape Robert had been working in as a former sprayer. For the opening, he opened up one of our walls into this kind of painterly outdoors in a spray can performance.
five in a row
Zimmer 14
Five in a row is a format we tried at Morgenstraße after having two quite “traditional” exhibitions in 2010. For one evening, we are showing five exhibitions – one hour each, including 15 minutes installation time for the next one. We started with large-scale oil paintings by Julian Fickler – one of them just finished the night before -, continued with an installation by Sebastian Tröger and a performance by Jan Broz; then, after a video piece by Felix Grünschloss, the show finished with a performance & installation by Zimmer 14 (Robert Loos & Adam Cmiel), for which Martin’s entire living room was transferred into the exhibition space.
Come As You Are
Poster by Martin Borst
For ten years, the Turin shroud has not been shown to the public. We took the occasion of its exhibition in April to produce a show with artists, who work on the trace of a subject in very different media – we had sand paper works by Axel Philipp, a composite photograph of iconic portraits of human tragedy by Tobias Trutwin, and a (self-)portrait of sound artist Paul DeMarinis processed from his own voice in a piece by Jim Campbell. Also, we had a installation by Bruce Nauman which was more of an experimental setup for the participants to experience, and a piece by Via Lewandowsky taking both the trace and the idea of the iconic to a more art-historical level.
SIMULATIONEN
After my move back to Karlsruhe I have joined Martin Heus in running the art space Kunstraum: Morgenstraße. The first exhibition “SIMULATIONEN” that we organised together was a show with Dirk Haupt and Oliver Herrmann, who present two different takes on the intersections of painting and media art. Dirk’s vast spray piece of a grassy plain is based on precise algorithmic studies; Oliver re-imagines painterly motives and genres by using video technology.
