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.

Young graphic artist Norbert Reissig has become a name to remember at the latest since laFraise. He grew up in Erfurt, Germany where he has been influenced by his artist grandfather and developed a passion for contemporary art and graphic design from an early age on. Aside from working with installation and sculpture, the artist uses acrylic on canvas. In his first solo show Reissig shows works which are formally related to Psychedelia and leave the viewer with much room for psychological interpretations.

All works are unique and exclusive on display here at West Berlin Gallery.

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 This selection of mostly unpublished photos, specifically represents the artist’s perspective towards her work; and questions whether showing inner feelings has got a price and discusses how to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.

LISA WASSMANN’s previous exhibitions include: Hinterconti, Hamburg in 2008

Publications of her works include: Sleek Flora & Fauna in 2010, Zeitmagazin in 2009 and 2010, Derzeit in 2010, Süddeutsche in 2009 , Vice Magazine in 2007/2008/2009, Dazed&Confused UK 2009

You’re warmly invited on Thursday the 5th of August from 19:00 for the opening of LISA WASSMANN’s show. The evening will be completed with music and drinks to make it a date.
