PELES AT WENTRUP, BERLIN, opening this thursday
 Peles Empire
„DUO“
Opening: 27 November 2014, 6 – 9 pm
Exhibition: 28 November 2014 – 17 January 2015
The source of Peles Empire’s artistic practice is connected with the provenance of its name in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania: Peles Castle. The eclectic building from the 1870s is distinguished by its uncommon concentration of the most disparate styles – each room imitates a different era in architectural history. Barbara Wolff (*1980) and Katharina Stöver (*1982) have worked together as Peles Empire for nine years – their photographic appropriations of this “edifice of copies” and their subsequent ongoing spatial interpretations of the source material constitute a central point of departure for their works. An important strategy used by Peles Empire is copying the copy; inherent as well is the process of translating something spatial into two-dimensionality, which ultimately again manifests itself in three-dimensional objects. Also significant is that although the original documentary image may sacrifice some of its figurative quality through the artists’ manual reproduction of particular parts of the image, it simultaneously gains spatial quality as an abstract object. Peles Empire shows the complex and – in the truest sense of the word – multilayered results of this method in their first solo exhibition at WENTRUP.
The exhibition title "DUO" first of all underscores the genuine connection between original and copy. The two concepts are interdependent and only attain their full meaning through the existence of the other. No copy without an original – needless to speak of originals if there were no copies. Peles Empire is interested precisely in the gap within this relationship, in the process itself, and particularly in the images and forms that the copying process gives rise to in the first place.
Their kinship with artists such as Gordon Matta-Clark, who used the deconstruction of architecture, the disassembling into fragments and uncovering of layers, as productive momentum, is apparent. At the same time, merely through the process of translation, Peles Empire is capable of creating something that Hito Steyerl has called “fractured and flexible temporalities” which, in contrast to Matta-Clark, are not conceived in terms of an ultimate form, but privilege the unfinished. All the more striking are the richly detailed structures that their objects display – possibly precisely because they are not created with finality in mind.
Peles Empire reproduces pictures of spaces in order to create new pictorial spaces from them. Their achievement in the translation lies not only in the transformations from two-dimensionality into spatiality and back, but also in how they are able to transport a real space into the digital realm and then retrieve it for the physical environment of the exhibition. In this context, they not only display the actual splinters and fissures of their sculptural process, but also make it possible to capture the aesthetic fracturings and foldings that are free to develop only within the gap between original and copy.
Their works have been recently shown in a solo exhibition at GAK Bremen, Germany and a group exhibition at The Moving Museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Previous solo exhibitions by Peles Empire in 2013 include Cell Project Space, London; Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Germany; and GSS, Glasgow. They have also exhibited at Shanaynay, Paris, NKV Wiesbaden, Bundeskunsthalle Bonn, (all 2013), Temple Bar, Dublin; V22, London; and ‘Bold Tendencies’, London (all 2012). In 2011 they were selected for Frieze Projects at Frieze Art Fair, London. 2009 shows include ORTON.nl, Rotterdam. In 2007 they were invited by MAK Center for Art & Architecture at the Schindler House, Los Angeles to exhibit in ‘The Mystery of Life’, as part of their residency.

"Place" in Amsterdam
Place
Anna Ostoya and Barbara Leoniak
Opening Thursday, November 27, 2014, 6 – 9 pm
November 28, 2014 – January 17, 2015
During Amsterdam Art Weekend (November 27 - 30) Anna Ostoya will be present in the gallery on Saturday, November 29, at 1 pm for the signing of her book.
tegenboschvanvreden is pleased to announce the exhibition 'Place' featuring new works by Anna Ostoya and Barbara Leoniak. Ostoya exhibits two oil paintings and six mixed media compositions on canvas. Leoniak shows a series of sculptures in resin and paper. 'Place' is a continuation of the collaboration between these two artists that began with the exhibition 'Disclosures' at the Bortolami gallery in New York in 2013. The new works at tegenboschvanvreden evolve from Ostoya’s painting 'Place' and Leoniak’s sculpture 'Maidens', both shown in New York. The initial inspiration for these works was Ludwig Kirchner’s painting 'Potzdamer Platz' (1914), which depicts two streetwalkers in the middle of a busy intersection. The painting reflects a distinctly modern form of alienation in a world where war and money rule.
The paradoxes of contemporary alienation are the subject of the new exhibition: the collapsed sense of inside and outside; the confused sense of distance and proximity. Ostoya and Leoniak both engage in these troubled dualities. To them the title 'Place' signals a threat and a yearning to belong to a certain space or system. It stands for a lack of integrity and safety.
In her semi-abstract works 'Zoom 1' and 'Zoom 2', Ostoya paints close-up portraits of the streetwalkers. The double rendering of the image evokes the painterly tradition of repainting significant subjects while also referring to the photographic technique of zooming in and out. In the series of compositions entitled 'Place', Ostoya uses leftover materials from the previous exhibition together with acrylic paints and color pencils. The outlines of a hand appear in some of the compositions. This intensifies the tactile effect.
The anthropomorphic sculptures entitled 'Touchables' by Barbara Leoniak depict anonymous double heads. They are made of molds using strips of cardboard soaked in resin. The sculptures are reminiscent of store mannequins and of cyberspace avatars. Small shifts in the position of their necks and in the angle of their heads, together with variations in the texture of the surface, lend a personal aspect to each piece. A headless torso, another sculpture presented by Leoniak, underlines an uncanny sense of lost identity.

The works in 'Place' can be regarded as autonomous paintings and sculptures, but they can also be seen collectively, as an installation. The installation, with dim lighting and spotlights, conveys an atmosphere of the intangible.
Although Leoniak was Ostoya’s first artistic mentor, the exhibition presents this relationship as being polymorphous and nonhierarchical. Just as their appropriation of modern art gives greater emphasis to recurrence than to innovation, their dialogue stresses artistic communication rather than competition. Their work presents the history of art as a conversation, not a monologue.
Anna Ostoya is an artist living in New York. She graduated from the Whitney Independent Study Program in 2009. Her work has appeared in Manifesta 7, Rovereto, the 2nd Athens Biennial, and in other exhibitions internationally. Ostoya’s recent shows include 'New Photography 2013' at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and 'Transpositions' at La Kunsthalle Mulhouse. This is the second exhibition of the artist at tegenboschvanvreden gallery.
Barbara Leoniak is an artist living in Cracow. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts there in 1977. Her work was shown internationally in the 1980’s. She received a golden leaf medal in 1985 and a silver metal in 1990 at the Winter Sculpture Salon in Warsaw.

HENRIK OLAI KAARSTEIN - Pride
("Lady Pride, national pride, gay pride, parental pride, maternal pride, artistic pride, female pride, classless pride, pride lecture, we are proud, bongo pride, cock pride, pride tears, tears of pride, proud shit, proud abstraction, proud patience, proud future, Europride, pink pride, proud blue, red pride, proud black, orange pride, proud violet, purple pride, proud white, yellow pride, pride grey, proud flower, proud rose, proud sex, good pride, less good pride, adequate pride, proud Magdalene of Magdala, proud in Persia, proud at home, proud in water, proud with a gun")
- Henrik Olai Kaarstein
Henrik Olai Kaarstein's work is an exploration of the domestic, the intimate and the private in its materials, its rituals and its aspirations. It is often made out of found objects, many of them functioning as a sort of personal image bank and having a sentimental as well as an aesthetic value: a sleeping bag, an office table, a fake rose, a tissue paper box, some underwear packaging, some cardboard sheets, and so forth. His paintings are not painted on conventional canvases, as he uses various objects and materials soaked in paint or stained by it, rather than the paint being deposited on the surface of the canvas. Characters, symbolic systems and recurring imagery are used such as a swimming/drowning divas, some birds, roses, torsos, objectified men, and even some terrorists, all brought into play in colorful abstractions. Kaarstein relies on these various sources to paint even though he works in a intuitive way, allowing mistakes made during the process to remain or even to be highlighted, letting the process of soaking his supports sometimes damage the surface if needs be, to embrace, "the murky line between creation and destruction". The constant feed of news, information and disinformation is source of excitement and fascination for Kaarstein, who equates the confusion delivered by mass media each time a sensational situation arises with something he wants to project in his own art, such as in "Dzhokhar Rose", based on the press images of the surviving sibling of the Boston Marathon Bombers.
Henrik Olai Kaarstein was born in Oslo, Norway in 1989. He has attended the Nordland College of Art and Film, Kabelvåg, Norway and is currently enrolled at the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main. He has exhibited in Milan, Oslo, Naples, London, Athens and Rome.

VALERIE SNOBECK - Go Soft
There's a monochromatic green filling up the frame. We hear the sound of footsteps approaching. A hand lays down a non-running mechanical pocket watch, and sets up tools nearby. Over the next hour, we see the horologist's hands filmed from above, meticulously take apart, clean up and maintain the watch mechanism before putting it back together. The video unwinds a continuous cycle of removal, resuscitation, and delay.
Valerie Snobeck's video, "Go Soft" uses formal constraints similar to those within the Structural film tradition. Throughout the video the watch does not give us the time, at least not a regimented time of notched minutes. Dismantled, the watch becomes an object to watch. Many objects, gears unlatched from one another, and unlatched from chronology, move in and out of the frame.
Engraved on one of the gears are the letters S H E L L. This watch was originally lubricated with Shell oil. In the 1940s the watch was a promotional item, a way of lubricating the public's opinion into positive thoughts about the oceans, the future and our control of it.
Valerie Snobeck was born in Wadena, MN, in 1980. BFA, St. Cloud State University, 2003, MFA, University of Chicago, 2008. Her work has been exhibited in the United States and in Europe, at the 2014 Whitney Biennial, the University of Delaware, the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, and the Consortium in Dijon. She lives and works in New York.

NICK BASTIS - Making Friends
On this particular morning, Sam's internet was down, so he went out for a stroll along the river. He looked over to the other side and thought he saw his friend Mose. He couldn't be sure from that distance – it could have been someone else with a similar stride and the same hair-do as Mose. Sam decided to take the bridge across the river and see whether it was Mose.
Mose was walking on the other side of the river. As he looked across the river, he thought he saw his good friend Sam. He was almost sure it was Sam, but at the same time, he knew it could have been someone who looked just like Sam with a comparable puffy jacket. He decided to take the bridge across the river to see if it was Sam.
On the bridge, it turned out that it was neither one of them.
- As told by Gijs Milius
Rather than expressing something in particular, the work is more concerned with the mechanisms of expression itself and its contingencies, produced through minor interjections in already occurring processes, flirting with an evacuation of the ego. Well, except for the sculpture of the guy with his penis looped into his own anus. That is an autonomous piece.
Nick Bastis (MFA, 2013, University of Chicago), was born in New York in 1985. Currently based between Brussels, BE and Vilnius, LT. Works recently shown at the Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago, US), Fluxia (Milan, IT) and Objectif (Antwerp, BE), upcoming shows at Regards (Chicago, US), Podium (Olso, NO), Kunsthalle Athena (Athens, GR), Chapter NY (New York City, US).

EMERGENZE
PAOLA ANZICHE' PASCAL TASSINI in dialogo con PIERO GILARDI
VERNISSAGE venerdì 7 novembre
Dall'8/11 al 31/12/2014
dal mercoledì al sabato, 14:00 - 19:00
Partendo da Pascal Tassini (Belgio, 1955), scultore belga che ha scelto di annodare le stoffe ripetutamente per farne accumuli biomorfi, morbidi e nodosi, col gesto e la materia, abbiamo pensato a Piero Gilardi (1942) nella sua produzione dei tappeti natura. Come i lavori di Tassini che sembrano emergere come volumi dal nulla, i lavori di Gilardi giocano sull'interpretazione della natura attraverso l'artifizio della mano umana, cioè ritagliano e traducono qualcosa che c'è sempre stato ma sempre più sfuggente. Infine abbiamo chiesto a Paola Anziché (1975) di accompagnare i corpi di Tassini con l'eleganza di tessuti grezzi e primari pazientemente selezionati, cuciti, intrecciati, accuditi, incatenati, portatori di storie universali, culture contadine e dialoghi continentali.
I nodi di Pascal Tassini si intrecciano in forme organiche talvolta difficili talvolta delicate, sempre accoglienti, sbarrandoci il passo su un percorso altrimenti lineare. Richiamano attenzione, non oseremmo scioglierli ma contengono il germe della loro dissoluzione. Le forme naturali che Gilardi ricrea sono selezioni di uno sguardo per altri sguardi, altrimenti disattenti. E infine i lavori di Anziché sembrano nascere come assemblaggi sulle ali del vento e ritagliare simboli di umanità da un tessuto altrimenti uniforme. Emergenze.
Rizomi art brut nata nel 2010 a Torino, è l'unica galleria che in Italia si occupa esclusivamente di outsider art e art brut. Dalla fondazione ad oggi promuove l'art brut, arte irregolare e spontanea, rappresentando artisti di fama internazionale, indagando i confini dell'arte outsider e pubblicando monografie scientifiche.
