KWS_LuziaSimons-OnStage_2.jpeg

Luzia Simons –
On Stage

Luzia Simons moves between the poles of photography, painting and drawing. The central theme of her work is nature in its infinite diversity.

Using the scannogram technique she developed, in which the artist uses a scanner instead of a camera, flower compositions of overwhelming precision, intensity and colorfulness unfold before our eyes, transforming the Biotechnikum into a magnificent theater stage on which her imaginary gardens unfold.

Michael Burges – Matter, Energy and Space

In his abstract works, Michael Burges explores the multifaceted interaction of colors, space and energy. Using a variety of painterly instruments such as squeegees, brushes or spatulas, he squeezes, blurs and layers colors and creates pictorial objects with a processual character and an element of surprise.The exhibited Reverse Glass Paintings and Virtual Space Works show colorful, dynamic patterns behind acrylic glass panels with a special materiality. They invite you to experience the principle of emergence and immerse yourself in the ambivalence of distant aura and great sensuality.

Sinaida Michalskaja – Thinking in cycles is key

The artist's photography and video works deal with the experiences of alienation, rapprochement, and the opening up of new spaces for seeing and thinking – Thinking in circles is the key.

Gloria

Sebastian Körbs:
GLORIA

Sebastian Körbs' artistic oeuvre includes prints, drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations. In his art, Körbs devotes himself largely to abstract and above all ornamental forms, but in more recent series of works from the last two years he has also gradually approached figurative representation through the means of abstraction.

kws_76_Petra_Lemmerz_Vernissage.jpg

Petra Lemmerz: Floating Substances

Ever since she set out on her artistic career, this painter from Düsseldorf has known but a single goal – painting as painting, nothing but painting. No depiction, no representation, no content. Her paintings are abstract and flow along governed by the laws of the act of painting, in both form and method – moulded by processes, developments, courses run.

kws_andrulat_160.jpg

Degenhard Andrulat: Gegenhochdoppel

Degenhard Andrulat demonstrates that it [the painting] is by no means dead, but in times of restricted movement has the ability to dissolve and expand our own boundaries and horizons, at least for the moment of contemplation.

kws_hortus_ortus_fabian_lehnert_26.png

Fabian Lehnert:
hortus ortus

The Bremen Town Musicians, published in 1819 by the Brothers Grimm in their first volume of Children's and Household Tales, is one of those fairy tales whose metaphorical meaning can still be projected particularly well onto our capitalist system and our neoliberal understanding of work today.

kws_art_meets_science_28.jpg

KWS & team:
Art meets Science

For us, Art meets Science started for real in spring 2019 when we met for the first time in Einbeck with the scientists who initiated the project. David Pacheco Villalobos, Susana Martin Ortigosa and Christina Rode noticed repeatedly during their daily work in KWS’ laboratories that the photographs taken through a microscope resembled art. They wanted to share these fascinating image worlds with their colleagues from other KWS departments ...

Tuğba Şimşek: Drawing Lines

Her view attentive and as unbiased as possible, Tuğba Şimşek roams her surroundings and scans the stream of passing (urban) landscapes, passersby, architecture and lettering. With the same seriousness she registers, picks up and processes the conspicuous and the seemingly marginal, image and text fragments. ...

KWS Art Lounge NEWCOMER: Exhibitions

Mad About You

Maria Trezinski – Mad About You

Nature serves Maria Trezinski as inspiration for her paintings. She uses the shift in scale of her pictorial motifs and transports us into a world that normally remains hidden or is even instinctively avoided.

The unusual perspective creates a fascinating attraction to what is actually repulsive.

Dance of colors

DANCE OF COLORS - Results of the creative workshop

Surrounded by the Hubewald forest, with a view of Einbeck's rooftops, they let the colors dance on canvas and paper during a creative workshop weekend in June and tested a wide range of creative possibilities in a playful and experimental way.

The diverse results will be presented in the NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge from August 8.

Spukhafte Fernwirkung – NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge displays resonance of artistic positions

SPUKHAFTE FERNWIRKUNG – NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge displays resonance of artistic positions

Two artistic positions, Constanze Böhm and Maximilian Neumann, have moved into the NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge. The flow determines the action, one word leads to another, action invokes reaction: in the double exhibition “Spukhafte Fernwirkung” (Spooky Remote Effect), both positions are brought into resonance with each other, common ground is traced and solitude is allowed.

A THING THAT MAKES A CASTLE – Sabine Müller

The barely perceived objects of our environment, the small everyday helpers - transferred into blue porcelain by the artist and not without wit – are the focus of her multimedia space-specific installation.

Katharina-Kühne-in-her-Atelier.jpg

Of Harmony and Disrepair – Katharina Kühne

Katharina Kühne explores the structures of life, which she interprets painterly, installative and sculptural in her artistic work.

KWS_Christian_Holze_J0A7183_E.Greiner_close_2.jpg

Art regularly emerges from art, artists quote other artists, refer to their works. Christian Holze explores the connections and intersections of art, technology and business and asks questions about authorship, commercialization and copying in the visual arts.

HIDDEN PLACES

One of the greatest achievements of photography is its swiftness. Developed over the centuries and brought to the highest precision, the photographic snapshot is one of the basic elements of the medium today. If this term defines the swift deployment of the ever-present camera, then the prevailing act of creation has an inherent attitude of subliminal vehemence.

Signs of Life

... to the microorganisms or plants that share a biological system with humans. Most of all, he offers us a chance to think about our attitude toward “our environment”, using a certain poetry that mobilizes words, voices, pictures and living beings. ...

KWS-art-dealing-with-uncertainty-johnny-linder.png

Johnny Linder: DEALING WITH UNCERTAINTY

How do subtle processes express themselves in images that pursue their own uncontrollable dynamics? In the search and creation of images based on photosensitive materials, graphic and performative processes, Johnny Linder deals with themes of the unpredictable imponderable and relative.

bara gaman

Art meets science at NEWCOMER

Fascinating worlds of images are given a new space. Three colleagues share the fascination for the aesthetics of the images taken during their daily work in scientific research.This fascination gave rise to the idea of bringing science and art together at KWS in a joint artistic and creative project. "Find art in your daily work!" was the call from these three colleagues ...

KWS_Alexander_Iskin.jpg

Alexander Iskin:
On time @ 4ever!

I am grateful for the opportunity to interrealize an exhibition in the Einbeck KWS Art Lounge.
That is not a given in today's circumstances. Quite the opposite. The cultural belt is being tightened. Art largely takes place only in the digital space. Although digitality with its many dimensions shapes interreality, I would like to point out how much I miss the times in full concert halls, theaters, operas, galleries and museums...

kws_hausarrest_15.jpg

Julia Lormis:
HAUSARREST

Her photographs are snapshots whose subjectivity coincides with the greatest possible objectivity. The ordinary and the familiar are honored through controlled camera angles, selective depth of field or blurring, or rhythmic image combination, and at the same time raise questions about the relationship between reality and fiction. In this multi-layered narrative character between art and documentation, the individual image retains ...

Hannah Byford:
Private Rooms

Starting August 6, the English artist Hannah Byford will provide us with intimate insights and critically question our previous stereotypes of gender roles. Byford's claim to depict conditions as truthfully and accurately as possible exposes the currently predominant idealized representation of our environment and thus reveals the social impact of visual worlds.
