Samuel Salcedo is one of 200 artists selected to take part in NordArt 2023 at the Kunstwerk Carlshütte. It is the 24th showing of work by international artists in an area of over 100,000 square metres in and around the historical iron foundry in Schleswig-Holstein. NordArt is one of the largest annual exhibitions of contemporary art in Europe, and this year runs from 3 June to 8 October.
We are delighted the Samuel Salcedo is a part of this story.
It will be well worth a visit to rediscover his unique sculptured heads, whose portrayal of the human countenance is always both profound and humorous, in this remarkable atmosphere. Samuel Salcedo will be represented by 17 works, made of iron, polished aluminium and epoxy resin. The Carlshütte in Büdelsdorf is only 35 km from Kiel, and can eminently be combined with a journey north … 
Samuel Salcedo and Robert Drees will be there on the opening day, 3 June 2023, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.!

From 19.05. to 17.06. the Kunstverein Viernheim dedicates a multimedia solo exhibition to our gallery artist Hanna Nitsch. 
In MADONNA, MEDEA &amp; ICH #1 she deals primarily with the ambivalence of individual and collective identity, cultural role models and pictorial stereotypes.
Also shown in the public space is a multi-part photographic work that Hanna Nitsch developed especially for this purpose. On the six billboards distributed in Viernheim's urban space, VIERNHEIM_BILLBOARDS_MADONNA # she confronts the viewer with questions about contemporary motherhood between Maria and Medea, happiness and pain.

Markus Fräger has fascinated us for years with his concentrated and haunting figurative painting. He died sadly far too young in 2020.
The Museum Schloss Cappenberg in the district of Unna (where Fräger grew up) is now showing a large retrospective exhibition of his work. Fräger’s emotionally charged scenes, playing out in moodily lit interiors with something of the old masters about them, always deal with a ‘before’ and an ‘after’. Yet their stories seem to be open-ended …

Markus Fräger – Retrospective in the Museum Schloss Cappenberg Kreis Unna

With his fictional landscape compositions, the Hungarian-German artist Szilard Huszank takes us to sceneries that are apparently idyllic and full of longing. Starting from a large repertoire of classical motifs, he transforms them into a play of colors and surfaces via his individual artistic language. The virtuosically designed works, which combine technical skill with content, are being shown for the first time at the Kunstverein Ludwigsburg.
Vernissage: 
February 2, 2023, 6.30 p.m., the artist is present

Szilard Huszank – Kunstverein Ludwigsburg 2023 – Where has Alice gone?

Nothing influences us as much as the family. We associate it with love, support, trust – but also pain, disappointment and effort. Today, the definition of family is no longer clear: In addition to the typical middle-class family, a wide variety of forms of cohabitation are becoming established. 
What role does family background play in one’s own life concept? What influence do money, power and social role models have on family life? Can love and care also be constricting? What stories and secrets shape our relationship with relatives or friends? 
The group show “doing family” focuses on the influences and challenges that characterize family life.
With artworks by: Johan Bävman, Olga Bushkova, Nesa Gschwend, Diana Karklin, Tanja Krebs, Isabelle Krieg, Janaina Mello Landini, Hanna Nitsch, Caroline Minjolle, Tim Rod, Peter Sauerer, Klaudia Schifferle, Magnus Wennman

Coexist − Local Global − in this sixth part of her continuing Coexist series, Franziska Stünkel guides us from the urban space emptied by the pandemic to the revitalised big cities. In 2021 and 2022 she photographed in Germany at first, then in Europe, America and Australia. Her recent reflections of our variously interconnected societies show us people in increasingly digital environments and a domesticated natural world, surrounded by complexity. Tension-charged and calm, multicoloured and withdrawn, moving and melancholy − Franziska Stünkel’s photographs turn a many-faceted gaze onto up-to-the-minute questions of global coexistence.

DIE WAT SPAART, DIE WAT HEEFT – Gallery artist <a href="https://galerie-robert-drees.de/en/kuenstler/eric-butcher/">Eric Butcher</a> developed the idea for the new exhibition. His mother, grewing up during the war and was marked by constant scarcity, carried this Dutch proverb into the family. All artists exhibit an economy or frugality of which my mother would approve and which ironically seems to capture something of the spirit of our times. A concern for the environment, a desire to step more lightly on the planet, or a preoccupation – for various reasons – with objects with histories, the drivers for their creative strategies are multifarious.
The eight international artists in the group exhibition have developed innovative and artistically fruitful approaches to the concepts of “reduction”, “reuse” and “recycling” and implemented them in painting, installation and sculpture.
Eric Butcher, Peter Abrahams, Laurence Noga, Antje Bromma and Rolf Blume will be attending the opening

FOLLOW THE LINE – everything proceeds from the line, the common thread of the new exhibition, presented in the expressive forms of sculpture, painting and drawing. This international show with the Dutch sculptor <a href="https://galerie-robert-drees.de/en/kuenstler/pieter-obels/">Pieter Obels</a>, the Berlin-based painter American <a href="https://galerie-robert-drees.de/en/gastkuenstler/benjamin-rubloff/">Benjamin Rubloff</a> and the Venezuelan graphic artist <a href="https://galerie-robert-drees.de/en/gastkuenstler/maribel-mas/">Maribel Mas</a>, now resident in Leipzig, shows how impressive, varied and compelling the compositional element of the line can be in the artistic process. 
The exhibition shows the very varying characteristics of the ‘object of artistic examination’ in Pieter Obels’ steel sculptures, Benjamin Rubloff’s graffiti paintings or Maribel Mas’s pen-and-ink drawings. Now robust and vibrant, now strong and direct, now light and delicate. 
The uniqueness of the artistic handwriting is characterised by the form and configuration of the line, which crucially influences the emotional impression that the work sparks in the viewer.
Pieter Obels, Benjamin Rubloff and Maribel Mas will attend the opening.
