SUMMARY:Seeing the Sun through closes Eyes
DESCRIPTION:We warmly invite you to the opening of Dirk Eicken’s solo exhibition Seeing the Sun through closes Eyes on Friday\, January 26\, 2024 at Kang Contemporary Gallery. \nIn three series of works from the last 20 years of his career\, the artist questions the possibilities of painting in the face of its failure in a fascinating way. Instead of accepting the end of painting\, Eicken sees its death as a source of new vitality. \nPainting serves the artist as a means of critically analyzing visibility: through his double-stretched canvases and overpaintings\, he creates an invisible network of images whose complexity cannot be grasped by looking at the surface of the picture. \nEicken’s intensive engagement with American abstract art\, in particular with artists such as Roy Lichtenstein\, Andy Warhol\, Frank Stella and Donald Judd\, clearly shapes his own conceptual and stylistic approach. With his two-layered paintings\, Eicken ultimately disregards Stella and Judd’s maxim what you see is what you see. \nEicken’s works open up an invasive view that leads beyond the superficial layer of the picture into the depths of painting. Instead of a purely rational identification with the surface of the painting\, Eicken seeks a deeper understanding and an empathetic view into the interior of the painting. His paintings show the canvas not only as a surface\, but as part of a complex structure with its own history and a hidden life of its own.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk Arnold Dreyblatt with Dr. Stefan Römer
DESCRIPTION:KANG Contemporary is pleased to announce the Artist Talk with Arnold Dreyblatt alongside the current exhibition INVENTORIES\nFriday\, 16th of June at 18:00\n  \nAbout:  \nWays we remember history\, collect memories and hold on to information is a reflection of the present more than a representation of the past. If the past and present seep into each\, how does one reinvent the inventory as a record of past lives? The artworks in the exhibition INVENTORIES confront the reproduction of a past that has been observed through singular perspectives and told with condensed words. Through the archive as a memory we seek evidence of the stories that have passed and people who are beginning to be forgotten. The multi-disciplinary artist Arnold Dreyblatt interrogates these ways of remembering and the archive as a space. In his installations of information and text he poses the question of how information and stories are told\, saved and erased and why certain information persist over others. One gazes upon the letters and digits that fill this exhibition and realizes that information floats through and transforms our world and our consciousness. As the mind attempts to focus\, isolate or connect the textual fragments in the exhibition they stand as a union that lifts these components taken from documents\, records\, and inventories into a metaphorical sphere. \n\nArnold Dreyblatt (b. New York City\, 1953) is an American media artist and composer. He has been based in Berlin\, Germany since 1984. Since 2007\, Dreyblatt is a member of the Akademie der Künste in Berlin and is the Vice-Director of the Visual Arts Section. He was a Professor of Media Art at the Muthesius Academy of Art and Design in Kiel\, Germany from 2009 to 2022. His artistic practice of the last 30 years has ranged from large staged multi-day performances\, involved installations\, and lenticular wall works such as “Ephemeris Epigraphica” as well as interactive artistic research projects like “Performing the Black Mountain Archive” (2015) at the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum for Contemporary Art. At the same time\, he has continued to develop his unique work in composition and music performance. Dreyblatt’s visual artworks create complex textual and spatial visualizations for memory and history. These projects\, which reflect on such themes as recollection and the archive\, include permanent installations\, digital room projections\, dynamic textual objects\, and multi-layered lenticular text panels and public artworks.

SUMMARY:Arnold Dreyblatt | INVENTORIES | Kang Contemporary
DESCRIPTION:Arnold Dreyblatt – Inventories\nKang Contemporary\n21.04.23 – 16.07.23\n  \nKANG Contemporary is pleased to present the exhibition INVENTORIES with US-American multidisciplinary artist Arnold Dreyblatt\, which showcases recent and rarely exhibited works. New lenticular artworks reference crisis of Europe in texts by historical and recent visionaries and critics. The artist Arnold Dreyblatt interrogates ways of remembering and the archive as a space. In his installations of information and text he poses the question of how information and stories are told\, saved and erased and why certain information persists over others. As the mind attempts to focus\, isolate or connect the textual fragments in the exhibition they stand as a union that lifts these components taken from documents\, records\, and inventories into a metaphorical sphere.    \n  \nIncluded in this exhibition is the artwork The Black List based on the original site-specific memorial by the artist on the Königsplatz in München that was inaugurated by the Munich City Council in 2021. The new immersive staging of The Black List makes it possible to experience this profound artwork in Berlin for the first time. A spiraling sequence of words taken from booktitles by the 310 authors who were outlawed by the Nazi regime and whose books were burned across Germany. For each author Dreyblatt selected the last published work up to and including 1933. What unfolds is a passionate discussion of the archive as a space that carries history\, that can be mobilized to express new meanings but that can also be manipulated. The upper level of the gallery showcases the digital installation Inventar/ Inventur. In his 2008 artwork Dreyblatt dives into the sea of information that are the records of the 1938 auction of the entire estate of Berhard Altmann’s Vienna villa. To take on the inventory becomes a much larger task in which one has to combat storytelling that prioritises data over people. On a white wall the individual items that were part of the circa 1400 auctioned objects are projected suggesting a literal past space. As the words on the wall are positioned at the relative height of the objects they describe we are reminded that these objects that scroll across the gallery wall carry meanings and memories. The passive descriptions from the auction records are transformed and activated. Instead of centering the narrative on the auction as a moment of injustice and crime\, the inventory here becomes a story about a life that was lived\, a home that was built. It transforms the narratives and shifts the focus to the people as the subjects instead of the systems that foretold their end. \n  \nText Paula Böke \n  \nAbout the Artist \n\nArnold Dreyblatt (born 1953 in New York City) is an American media artist and composer.

SUMMARY:RUPTURED MYTHS OF PRESENT
DESCRIPTION:Peculiar fruit\, ceramic pigs\, levitating women\, and collapsing cakes. The artworks in Ruptured Myths of Present seem wondrous\, in their eclectic assemblage of symbols and characters. Frank Jimin Hopp and Sara Umar pull the veil on the ever-present archetypes of society\, some of which have existed for centuries while others are new actors who enter the stage. We are confronted with the question: Is it possible to rupture these ancient forces that linger in contemporary life and\, like shape-shifters\, adopt new forms? Exploring these themes through personal experience creates an authentic tone in which one can find resonance and the relief of commonality and togetherness.
