- Sep. - 22. Okt. 2023
The exhibition "STEREOTYPES" brings the artists Nara Bak and Dominik Geis into a dialogue about stereotypes as a complex model as a socio-cultural observation that needs to be questioned.
Nara Bak's works are permeated by transparent lines of time, ritual, identity, habit and memory, whose ambivalent complexity questions the unambiguousness of stereotypes. In her video work, she traces rituals in Korea, Düsseldorf and Zurich and combines them with music to question the contemporary meaning of rituals.
Dominik Geis immerses himself deeply in the world of social structures and cultural images in his exploration of the male nude. By collaging various video and visual materials, he uncovers the nuances, ambivalences and ambiguities of power and eroticism, as well as the stereotypes that shape our perceptions of them.
Opening 22 Sep. 2023 6 p.m.

Familie ist vielfältig, aber das Bild von Familie ist erstaunlich eintönig. Schließt man die Augen, sehen die meisten eine Vision aus der Bausparwerbung: Vater, Mutter, Kinder und ein Haus mit Garten. Diese Familie ist reich, weiß, niemals alleinerziehend und sie ist durchgehend heterosexuell. Es ist kein harmloses Bild, mit ihm wird Politik gemacht.
Diese Ausstellung nähert sich dem Bild und der Erfahrung von Familie aus queerer Perspektive. Dabei ist die Bandbreite sehr groß. Sie reichen von Partnerschaft, Kindern und den eigenen Eltern bis zur Familie als Wahlverwandschaft und Gemeinschaft. In vielen der Arbeiten wird ein Ringen deutlich um den Raum, der oft alleine durchquert werden muss. Queerness erfordert Kraft. Der Mut, sich in den Raum zu werfen, ist in den Kunstprojekten zu sehen.
23.9.23 6pm opening with introduction to the exhibition "The Queer Family Room".

isn´t it erotic? - NEULAND_Projektraum, Bochum
11.08.2023 - 26.08.2023 | Solo show at Neuland_Projektraum, Bochum
EMBODIMENTS | Grand Palais, Bern (CH)
Exhibition: Dominik Geis, Caroline Singeisen
03.06.-01.07.2023 | Grand Palais, Bern (CH)
The exhibition EMBODIMENTS juxtaposes two artists who approach the question of the expression of and through corporeality(ies) in different media. How do gestures, facial expressions and poses relate to the environment with its cultural imprints and natural elemental forces? What happens when this order of nature is thrown into turmoil and man is thrown back on his body and his corporeality?
While Caroline Singeisen is interested in penetrating spatial and social situations through drawings, Dominik Geis approaches these questions through choreographically edited video collages.
Both are united by their focus on the human being as a central component of their artistic intervention, through which they explore political and social dimensions.
