Miriam Cahn, Sarah Księska, David Ostrowski, Katharina Wulff, Irène Zurkinden – organised by David Riemer & Lukas Schmenger

Info: After more than 4 years in Brussels, we have a new space in Düsseldorf. The first show MIRROR HEAD with works by Miriam Cahn, Sarah Księska, David Ostrowski, Katharina Wulff and Irène Zurkinden will open on Saturday, August 29, from 6 to 9 pm. (…) Miriam Cahn’s (*1949 Basel) paintings and drawings take the body as their central subject – as political terrain, as tool, as the site where private experience and historical violence collide. (…) The practice of Sarah Księska (*1992 Frankfurt am Main) investigates the attractiveness of the uncategorizable. Working primarily with oil on aluminum panels – a material whose pictorial identity has yet to be established – she creates a tension between the inherent subjectivity of the painting process and the constraints of its support. (…) David Ostrowski’s (*1981 Cologne) reductive, gestural works move beyond the traditional conventions of figuration and abstraction in painting. (…) Katharina Wulff’s (*1968 Berlin) portrait, landscape and genre paintings depict seemingly everyday or surrealistic settings and are often highly stylized through ornamental forms. (…) Irène Zurkinden (1909–1987) worked across portraiture, figuration and observations in the urban space, drawing from Surrealism and Post-Impressionism without settling into either.
