West Berlin Gallery proudly presents NORBERT REISSIG’S first solo show “It’s a Happening Thing” from September 9th to September 24th 2010 at the West Berlin Gallery.

The exhibition will feature unreleased works from the past years and thematically deals with the decade of the 1960s, an epoque marked by social upheaval, misty-eyed romantic and strong contradictions. The artist visually approaches this legendary decade, aiming to interpret it from a contemporary point of view, asking the question if there is any countermovement in our society today.

Reissig has developed a distinctive style implementing playful as well as formal graphic elements in his works, showing depth and reflectiveness in his subject matter. When asked how he would describe his work without using the actual term “art” he refers to it as “NonHippiePsychedelia”.

You’re warmly invited on Thursday the 9th of September from 7pm onwards to the opening of NORBERT REISSIG’S show “It’s a Happening Thing”. The evening will be completed with music and drinks to make it a date. Read more

West Berlin Gallery proudly presents LISA WASSMANN’s first solo show in Berlin from August 5th to September 5th. The exhibition will give a first general overview of the photographer’s works executed over the last three years.

As a photographer, LISA WASSMANN earnestly oscillates between precision relating to crafts and cool digital aesthetics, hence creating a subtle interaction motif between the two aspects. Both Berlin club culture and unbelievable landscapes are featured in a selection of favourite shots that she has chosen for the show. This selection of mostly unpublished photos, specifically represents the artist’s perspective towards her work; and questions whether showing inner feelings has got a price and discusses how to convey intimate feelings into the open. In preparation for the exhibition, LISA WASSMANN worked on the principle of representation on several levels: the photographs alone are not at the core of the show; their limited reproducibility and framing techniques restored her digital photography prints to ‘pictures’ in the traditional meaning of the term. The unique pieces are developed in such a way, acquiring a clear delimitation to the outside and bear a tense interrelation between tradition and present.

The photographs have been issued as a limited edition of three copies each. Framed pictures will be only available as unique pieces. Read more

We would like to extend an invitation to the opening of its great summer vibe show Welcome to the Peachbeach presenting works from the Berlin-based design and Street Art collective.

Peachbeach is a fraternity composed of three reconverted bad boys who decided to settle in Berlin and enjoy its vibrancy and dazzling cosmopolitan colours. The three young artists aim at fusing their different backgrounds and creative approaches in one edgy mix of strong illustration, sensitive typography style and an ironic vision of social etiquette and games.
