Offensichtlich Öffentlich (Patently Public)

Curated by Valeria Schwarz and Peer Golo Willi

April 20-24, 2010

Urban space of Berlin and

Galerie Eva Bracke, Steinmetzstraße 3, 10783 Berlin

Opening reception on Saturday, April 17, at 6 pm

Public art is usually not sought. If it is nevertheless found and appreciated, this often happens spontaneously, a chance meeting with the artwork. In this exhibition, artists of various nationalities and media have produced or submitted and dispersed ephemeral works of art within Berlin’s urban space; just as spontaneously.

The point of departure for this exhibition will be Galerie Eva Bracke. From here a cartographic trail is laid for a potential course through the city, before contentual, aesthetic, or situational receptive interaction with the artwork can take place at each site.

Finding the artwork is left to the visitors. For a relatively limited time period perceptive randomness will be undermined by a deliberate seeking out of public artwork. The works will be integrated within the flow of urban routine, subjected to possible consequences such as weathering, vandalism or theft.

Participating artists:

Florencia Almirón, Natalia Blanco & Betiana Bellofatto, Linda Franke, Benjamin Greber, Jan Imberi, Klaus Jörres, Jin Lie, Florin Kompatscher, Alexej Koschkarow, Lune Léoty, Josep Maynou & Arturo Steele, Mark Morgan Perez Garage, José Noguero, Jana Pessoa, Franz Schmidt, Valeria Schwarz and Andreas Siekmann

Exhibition with kind support by Galerie Eva Bracke.
