Mind The Gap

6pm @ Country Club • 1100 N Damen Ave
Hours: 6pm - 10pm • free

Featuring the work of:
Sonia Jimemez Alvarez, Manuela Barczewski, Sabrina Jung, Annette Jonak, Anastasia Khoroshilova, Anne Lass, Patricia Neligan, Almut von Pusch, Rivkah Young

The exhibition features the work of 9 female artists who all work within the field of photography in distinct ways. Their common ground is the diverse engagement with different forms of gaps in this world. The spaces investigated are often overlooked and are rarely put under artistic scrutiny. If one takes a closer look though, one finds in the inconspicuous a broadness of themes, which are both formally and socially relevant.

The title of the exhibition gestures towards a world apart, inextricably linked to ours yet hardly ever noticed. It is precisely this world apart, the gaps in the world seemingly so familiar to us that is the focus of our featured artists.

The artists were all raised in Germany but have their roots throughout Europe and South America. Most of the artists live in Berlin.

“Der Weiße Salon“ (the white salon) is a collaborative project initiated by Sonia Alvarez, Sabrina Jung, Anne Lass and Patricia Neligan

The aim is to encourage the exchange between artists working in different media. The main focus is the development of a network amongst internationally based artists. The website www.weissersalon.de is the main platform accessible to the public. Here one will be able to find new, theme based projects of different artists and initiators every month.

“Der Weiße Salon” also manages curatorial projects in Germany and abroad. The group exhibitions are theme based.
