Der Stadtplaner Wolfgang Schnell lebt in der Schillerpromenade und hat jetzt auch sein Büro hierher verlegt. Mit der Ausstellung "ebenerdig" öffnet er gemeinsam mit der Künstlerin Pia Linz anlässlich der 48 STUNDEN NEUKÖLLN seine Türen der Öffentlichkeit.

Seit über 20 Jahren beschäftigt sich Pia Linz mit Phänomenen der individuellen Wahrnehmung von Welt. Hier zeigt sie aus der Werkgruppe „Projektionsarbeiten“ das Kegelbild „Hasenheide“. Unter dem Kegel sitzend hält sie den Umraum malerisch fest.
Wolfgang Schnell zeigt Fotos der kleinen Dinge aus dem Kiez. Für jeden sichtbar und doch kaum wahrgenommen, entwickeln sie sich aus dem Zusammenhang gelöst zu eigenständigen Bildern. Die Fotos werden selbst bearbeitet und gedruckt.

My Hand, my most silent Word

Hair, an installation by Li Koelan

Location: Kunstraum ART-UHR

Fri 19:00 – 24:00

Sat 15:00 – 24:00

Sun 14:00 – 19:00

Women's hair, black, blond, grey, red, brown, curly and sleek, sealed and preserved in transparent plastic gloves completely cover the walls of the room. The rhythm of the hands is sporadically interrupted by small objects/drawings.
The Dutch expression 'with the hands in the hairs' - serving as a point of embarkment of this installation - implies desperateness. In Dutch, 'Hair' also means 'her'...so if you swap the expression 'with the Hair in the Hands' around, it stands for a woman taking her faith in her own hands.

Hundreds of earth coloured plastic balls, originally abandoned in an open field, invoke reflection upon our changing environment and the socio-politics of globalization. Treasures pillaged by man, only to be discarded.
