The DZ Bank
AG has been promoting the work of young artists in the field of
contemporary artistic photography since 1993. Prizes are presented
in the disciplines “artistic photography” and “accelerated
photography/video art” and each is endowed with 12,000 Euros.
The awards for 2002/2003 went to Elias Hassos and Salla Tykkä.
|
| While Hassos records fragments
of reality in classical individual images without any narrative structure,
Tykkä received the award for video works demonstrating an obvious
autobiographical content. She illuminates the conflicts and emotions
that every one of us may experience in the course of life: futility,
disappointment, pain, speechlessness – but also hope.
11th July – 10th August 2003
Opening: Thursday 10th July 2003, 8 p.m.

On 26th July, the Media
Arts Lab of Künstlerhaus Bethanien will be demonstrating the
fact that Media Art may turn into an existential risk. Heath Bunting,
Kayle Brandon and Kate Rich intend to teach the participants of their
workshop the art of climbing over fences. The team with its famous
past in the sphere of Media Art aims to literally realise an old promise
of the Internet: the overcoming of boundaries and territories. Here
you can learn how to ignore the architecture of security... put your
name down now.

Until 2nd August, the
gallery K + S will continue its show of photographs by the Berlin
artist Andreas Rost. The works are documentary/
political in character, picturing people in their everyday lives
in an initially unspectacular way. These scenes are then compared
and contrasted with images of mass events and the rituals associated
with them.

For the first time in
their history, Australia’s only star formation of Concept
Art - The Histrionics - are on tour in Germany, premiering their
recently produced album Never Mind the Pollocks in cities including
Berlin, Aachen, Bregenz, Dresden, Cologne, Luxembourg, Paris and
others.
The Histrionics are absolute virtuosi of the energetic live act
and theatrical stage show. They don’t just present a playful
parody of Australia’s image as the second-hand market of world
art activities. The band - sponsored on this tour by the Freundeskreis
des Künstlerhauses Bethanien - also offer the sharpest commentary
on Appropriation Art, Richard Serra, Carl Andre and the most important
events of art history since the invention of cover bands.
Wednesday 9th July, Heeresbäckerei-kultur, Köpenicker
St. 16, ground floor, east wing, 9 p.m.
