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 Basel–†1987 ibid.) worked across portraiture, figuration and observations in the urban space, drawing from Surrealism and Post-Impressionism without settling into either.
