- Opening remarks Jan Kage, curator, author, and cultural studies scholar, Berlin UNDERCOVER – hiding one’s true identity, covert action. UNDERCOVER – this exhibition shows that artistic work may entail both presentation and deliberate concealment. WOLFGANG FLAD develops large-format sculptures characterised by dynamism, movement and organic growth structures. Coloured reflective glass gives the visible aspect of his wall objects another layer, in which forms emerge and disappear again beneath the surface. Their materiality remains inconclusive. In his object painting, JÜRGEN PAAS deals with the relationship between colour and surface, system and confusion. Colour, rhythm and order fuse into a surprising visual language whose materiality also defies interpretation. UNDERCOVER describes the attitude of both artists – the essence is concealed beneath the superficially visible. The artists will be present.Description

- JUST DO IT! – Is this a challenge to step outside your comfort zone? Or an alarming demand to do something out of the ordinary? HAAKON NEUBERT certainly steps out of his comfort zone – in his image worlds he goes onto the street, into corner pubs and where the atmosphere’s rough. He doesn’t make accusations; he captures moments. We become keen observers, readily drawn into his comic-trashy, high-contrast, colourful scenarios. Sculptures by the artist duo JULIA VENSKE & GREGOR SPÄNLE are vivid proof that what apparently doesn’t go together can give us a glimpse behind the social façade. Classical white marble, that art-historical sculptural constant, oozes out of disposable packaging or gets jammed onto signboards. JUST DO IT! An invitation to take a closer look… The artists will be present.Description

- HIDDEN SURFACE – the juxtaposition of work by SZILARD HUSZANK & AJA VON LOEPER is a pointer to what lies beneath the surface, to layers of perception, memory and transformation. Szilard Huszank undertakes this exploration in vividly coloured, sometimes large-format fragments of landscape in thickly applied oils. His colouration exhibits a deep sensibility in the interplay of landscape painting and abstract poetry. Aja von Loeper’s works on paper, by contrast, are white, paper-white. Elevations and structures that come about through physically working the paper itself stand out in relief from the material’s smoothness and generate a tremendous, almost sculptural tension. Von Loeper brings structures to the surface, awakens the two-dimensional sheet of paper to three-dimensional vigour – face and depth – hidden surface.Description
