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

As you might have heard already we are really pride to present Lisa Wassmann’s very first solo show in Berlin this august. Save the date for the vernissage on August 5th!

We have already produced a first serie of photographies that were shown a couple weeks ago at BRIGHT. Those come from Lisa’s works in Las Vegas earlier this year and have not been published anywhere else so far.

” I came to Vegas with thoughts of a sparkling, crowded, glorious sinful city, to colourful lights. But all I saw where empty streets. I met a philipine priest and an old man in a wheel chair driving in the middle of the highway. I put myself in disguise as to be someone else. I walked around in Sin City in the middle of the desert and then on the last day it snowed. In the desert / me and my holy friend.” Lisa Wassmann
