Mit oder ohne. The motifs and elements that artist uses in her work derive from our everyday decor, the image archive of the consumer society: cartoon characters and mascots, heraldic details and advertising pictograms.
Galerija Gregor Podnar is pleased to announce the opening of Anne
Neukamp’s first solo exhibition in Berlin.
The motifs and elements Anne Neukamp uses in her work derive from our
everyday decor, the image archive of the consumer society: cartoon
characters and mascots, heraldic details, letters from the newspaper,
advertising pictograms.
She allows these functional signs and images, designed for efficiency,
to become fragments beneath layers of painting or even to disappear
entirely; she puts them together in new and different ways, stripping
them of their univalent impact.
In the exhibition mit oder ohne, Neukamp presents a group of new large-
format works that move within a logic of shifting and undermining and
stimulate the most diverse interpretations. At the same time, through
their occasionally cheeky imagery, they appear to flirt with the
expectations of the market.
Born in Düsseldorf in 1976, Anne Neukamp lives and works in Berlin.
Her work was exhibited last year at the Prague Biennale as well as in
the group show "Based in Berlin" at Kunstwerke. She also had solo
exhibitions last year at "Open Space" at Art Cologne and at Galerie
chez Valentin in Paris. In September of this year she will have a solo
show at the Rudolf-Scharpf-Galerie of the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum in
Ludwigshafen, for which an accompanying catalogue is planned.
