Exhibition, Multiple Doors To Incomplete Existence, by Watfaa Wahb and Rami Alhajali.
Nov 12 - Nov 21, 2021
Multiple doors to incomplete existence
The concept of existence from our perspective is divided into two different directions: The first depends on the influence of space-time on us as individuals in our journey, whether on a social level or on the circumstances of two individuals who moved, carrying their dreams, trying in all the fluctuations and changes to prove their existence through a simple drawing, sketch, an incomplete idea, or endless experiences. And the second concentrates on memory in all its aspects, near and far, which in turn often affects the course of the artwork, as it appears in a varied and intermittent manner, which adds diversity to the artworks.The
result of these unfinished and varied experiments was to create a continuum of endless questioning and a permanent state of inquiry that surpass the traditional understanding of the artist's career.
-The option of artistic isolation was not available during our years of work, and what we did was to develop the skills of affecting and being affected by the social environment with its different mentalities and ideas, to create a work of art that blends memories, our personal thoughts and the different social environments. Humanitarian work also had a large share in our artistic production, as human relations based on sharing knowledge and real communication, built solid foundations for protecting artistic passion for us and were a source of protection in periods of inability to practice drawing.
-The diversity of artwork that we produced during previous years and are still producing serves as an artistic guide for the quality of the artistic patterns that we were able to create, given that many studies and sketches are various doors for future artistic projects that we have the ability to implement when the opportunity arises, in addition to our cumulative practice to mix them in order to form new styles.
-Because of the increasing cruelty in the surrounding circumstances, the permanent identification of oneself through an artwork became centered in the subconscious and based on the great influence of place, memory and various human experiences, as a kind of permanent resistance and struggle for life.
-All the artistic styles presented, both old and new, express us today, transcending the time difference between them.
-Breaking the traditional methods of preparing for artwork, reducing burdens, and minimizing the use of tools to create a coherent artwork in a smart way was a natural result of all the influences we were exposed to, on top of which is the permanent movement and instability. As everything that we have drawn and created since our departure from Syria until now was and still is directly subject to the forceful life conditions and a coherent and diverse product based on endless new beginnings that are subjected to many continuous interruptions. This has made us often ignore basic needs and resist and rebel against interruptions until it has become an innate daily behavior to maintain our existence and enhance the use of our tools to express the conflicts and divergent ideas in our minds.
Solo exhibition ILLUSION by Kamiran Khalil
Oct 8 - Oct 17, 2021
illusion
It is most likely the rapid pace of events in our time that sometimes leads people to create a situation close to illusion.
I paint people, the bodies are often modified and the faces are closer to realism.
A clear separation between them, between face and body, consciousness
and subconscious, illusion and reality are there.
The painting and I are in constant dialogue.
The characters in my paintings sometimes tell me:
"We are illusions, dear friend!"
illusion
Sometimes, at our present time, the fast-paced events can lead a person to turn to creating a situation that is similar to illusion.
Too often, bodies are modification faces are close to reality.
There is a clear boundary, between the face and the body, consciousness and unconsciousness and illusion and reality.
My work and I are in continuous dialogue.
My paintings say " We are illusions my friend."
Exhibition Political Notes
The exhibition can be seen during Berlin Art Week from September 15th to 19th, 2021.
Politische Noten
Politische Noten sind nicht immer nur wohlklingend, was wir hören, nicht immer erfreulich.
Wer welchen Akkord spielt, wer die Texte schreibt oder das Konzert dirigiert, ist auch nicht immer klar.
Tatsächlich kennen wir nur einen Bruchteil dessen, was gespielt wird - das, was die Medien auswählen, um es uns zu zeigen.
Es ist schrecklich zu sehen, dass diejenigen, die nichts falsch gemacht haben, in politischen Konfliktsituationen am meisten leiden, Frauen und Kinder trocknen, deren Zukunft zerstört wird?
Das haben sie nicht verdient.
Niemand hat das.
Eleny Kasemets ist eine estnische bildende Künstlerin.
Kamal Sallat ist bildender Künstler aus Syrien. Die Ausstellung zeigt die jüngsten
Arbeiten der beiden Künstler, die die aktuelle globale politische Situation darstellen und auf die jüngsten Ereignisse in
Afghanistan aufmerksam machen.
Die Ausstellung ist während der Berlin Art Week vom 15. bis 19.09.21 zu sehen.
Öffnungszeiten 12-20 Uhr

Political Notes
We are in the middle of constant political symphonies.
But, unfortunately, these concerts are not always enjoyable. Who plays what chord, who writes the lyrics or conducts the show is not always clear. Instead, we only know a fraction of the whole picture - what the media selects to show us.
It is heartbreaking to see that those who have done nothing wrong are hurting the most in political conflict situations.
Who will dry the thousands of tears of women and children as their futures are shredded? They do not deserve this.
No one does.
Eleny Kasemets is an Estonian visual artist, and
Kamal Sallat is a Syrian political artist.
This exhibition shows both of the artists' most recent works, that picture the current global political situation and draw attention to the recent events in Afghanistan.
The exhibition is open during Berlin Art Week on 15-19.09.21
Opening hours 12-8 PM

political notes
We are in the midst of continuous political symphonies. But, unfortunately, such concerts are not always fun. It's not always clear who plays the chord, who writes the songs or runs the show. Instead, we only know a small part of the whole picture - what the media choose to show us. It is heartbreaking to see that those who have done nothing wrong are hurt the most in situations of political conflict. Who will dry thousands of tears from women and children while tearing apart their future? They don't deserve this. Nobody does.
Eleni Kasimets is an Estonian plastic artist and Kemal Slat is a Syrian political artist. This exhibition displays the artists' latest work, which depicts the current global political situation and draws attention to recent events in Afghanistan.
The exhibition is open during Berlin Art Week

Solo exhibition Orbit by Aladdin Al-Hassoun
24 Sep - 2 Oct 2021
- An empty and dreadful circle, where Time and conceptions intertwine.
You drift inside of it between imaginative dreams and reality, between past and memories, in an endless circulation.
Time is not fixed, it is rather variable in essence. Therefore, an immediate and instantaneous approach is a must, to abridge the speed, intensity and absurdity of motion inside this orbit.
Strange creatures, or familiar ones. Material things, solid or metamorphic, light, heavy, substances, colours, energies.
These words, next to one another, perhaps list things without meaning; conflicting or convergent, however, one shell or explosion is enough to alter those things into one mass, making them all elements of a certain mixture, that radiates a certain energy and a fixed meaning.
Living inside this orbit, we can only narrate this mixture through a panoramic picture combined of several frames; things, mutant figures, immobilised, scared, inspiring nothing but harshness, as if time had come to a standstill inside of them, in need of this orbit to reanimate it, and bring it back to its normal circular course.

Exhibition Standby Transformation
28.05 - 06.06.2021
stand-by transformation
More info
The stand by mode has been happening for more than a year now.
The people, the cities, our lives - everything has been frozen like a hold button in a sci-fi drama.
Just constantly waiting for the end date of it all, to continue with our lives, our artist practice, waiting to present our recent works.
However, there is no end date, no restart button, just a continuation of the daily waiting with bitter comprehension that certainly nothing will be the same.
When we stopped our ordinary living and our surroundings began to look like abandoned cities, nature started to transform and thrive.
In the end, nature wins. And there is a balance.
Azimut Gallery Berlin
presents an exhibition: Standby Transformation by Catherine Bauer, Kamal Salalat, and Elena Kasemets.
Artists show their new works, produced in these troubled times, questioning if the internal transformation is always happening.
stand-by transformation
The stand-by mode has been in progress for a year.
The people, the cities, our lives - everything froze, like hitting a hold button in a sci-fi drama.
We are waiting for the end date of all this to get on with our life, our artistic practice, waiting to present our latest work.
But there is no end date, no restart button, just a continuation of the daily wait with the bitter realization that perhaps nothing will ever be the same again.
As we left normal life and our surroundings began to look like abandoned cities, nature began to transform and thrive.
In the end, nature wins and there is a balance.
the Azimut Gallery Berlin
presents Stand by Transformation by Catherine Bauer, Kamal Salalat
and Elena Kasemets.
The artists show their new works that were created during these times and ask whether inner transformation always takes place.
