exhibition

10 September 2022 – 07 October 2022Vernissage |10 September 2022 | 20:00 In her works, Karolin Kutteri makes art a means of action in the discourse between sustainability, environmental ethics and climate justice. In the fields of painting and performance art, the artist provides a deep insight into spherical intermediate worlds. Elements from botany, anatomy and fractal patterns grow into each other as a symbiosis, and alongside neo-futuristic icon paintings struggle in romanticized, irreversibly transformed landscapes.

12 August 2022 – 08 September 2022Vernissage | 12 August 2022 | 20:00 From 12 August to 8 September, Full Moon Gallery presents the new exhibition by Dresden artist Andreas Dörfel entitled TRACES. The trained architect already completed additional studies in architecture-related art at the HfBK Dresden in the 1980s. In his current exhibition TRACES, his paintings, with their appropriately gentle tone, invite us to philosophise about tranquillity and stepping out of any and all-embracing noise.

13 July 2022 – 11 August 2022Vernissage | 13 July 2022 | 20:00 The Dresden artist Anja-Alexandra Kaufhold created in the last two years detailed nature studies and visited, among other things, Saxon Switzerland, the Dresden Heath, the banks of the Elbe, as well as the Prince Pückler Park to escape the restrictions in the wake of the Corona Pandemic. In the process, numerous works were created, whose focus is primarily on the representation of various trees and forests. The artist is particularly influenced by a spiritual approach to nature. At the exhibition opening on 13 July in the Full Moon Gallery, the renowned Dresden artist Oskar Staudinger will speak and introduce the artist Anja-Alexandra Kaufhold and the topic of her exhibition. The vernissage will also be musically accompanied by the Dresden duo LunaLee, who combine diverse musical influences in a refreshing way. The duo’s playful, light improvisations with folk and blues influences will be underlaid with profound German lyrics full of everyday poetry.

14 June 2022 – 12 July 2022Vernissage |14 June 2022 | 20:00 The artist works for the most part with found objects made by people and shaped by their use – each with its own history, discarded by people. Marion Kahnemann is concerned with giving these objects back their human context – even if it is now a different one. Alongside this, she explores the possibilities of interaction between the textual and the visual. Dealing with texts is part of a longer process in which she relates what she has found. What is found can include objects, materials, texts, stories, experiences, encounters, “Vergegnungen” (Buber), or even simple discoveries during the process of creating. This results in a kind of dia-,tria- or tetralogue – quasi a conversation between the different materials, the colors, forms, texts, subtexts, herself, the viewer etc… This is in no way an illustration of the texts. In addition to biblical and rabbinic texts, the poetry and prose of Else Lasker-Schüler, Rose Ausländer, Yehuda Amichai and Peter Weiss have increasingly become the focus of her artistic exploration in recent years.

14 April 2022 – 14 May 2022Vernissage |14 April 2022 | 20:00Finissage & Auction |14 May 2022 | 20:00 The Full Moon Gallery wants to support the Ukrainian refugees in their difficult times as much as it is possible. Therefore the team of the gallery will organise an exhibition of Oleksandra Kulikovska and Dresden artists. Those artists will exhibit selected art works for one month and will provide them at the end of the exhibition in a “Charity Art Auction” at the Full Moon Gallery for sale. The donations resulting from the auction will go directly to Ukrainian refugee aid. The auction will take place on 14 May and will be moderated by the artist NimasterBlaster. Oleksandra Kulikovska In her artistic activity, Oleksandra actively explores the nature of such phenomena as identity, mental disorders, fear, death,war and violence. People are often afraid of “difficult topics”, but the artist is sure that this hinders an honest look at reality. Ifyou still honestly look at reality, you can change something and make this world a better place.

As part of the finissage “Female sexuality beyond taboo” Exhibition by IVA BOYTCHEVA 12.04.2022 / 20:00 Reading with Madame AnnéWith possibly frivolous debauchery & slight moral lapses. Text performance with CocoNHarald and Vanessa love to make love.Free admission!

18.03.-13.04.2022 The exhibition shows extremely courageous views of female sexuality and the different facets between pleasure and suffering, between body, soul, freedom, coercion and new horizons. The paintings express the personal experiences of a young woman of today, who is looking for her way between clearly defined rules and the breaking of borders and social conventions.There is also the dimension of a life in motion across national, regional and cultural borders. It is the freedom of the migrant, of the woman with a backpack, who searches for and creates anew where she belongs to. A way of life is shown where one’s own body is not betrayed, but always taken along.The paintings of Iva Boytcheva make it clear that the negotiations take place in one’s own body. The female body is made visible and tangible here as a venue and instrument. The exhibition shows topics such as being alone and being in relationships, longing, menstruation, pregnancy, abortion, and renewed hope. In all these themes, foreign attributions and old taboos are questioned and broken.The paintings are direct and expressive. They come across as momentary explosions of deep layers and painful experiences. Anyone who gets involved is challenged to climb into this whirlpool and thus to achieve new perspectives and joyful feelings. More about the artist at: www.ivart.de

16.02.-17.03.2022 It is well known that the technical progress made by civilisation has immense consequences on various levels. These are usually only noticeable with a time lag. The Bible categorises in “good & evil” to explain why the very first humans had to leave their world.Referring to this, the artist Alabaster Becher develops his artistic position under the title Mischwesen – Ohne Angst und ohne Hoffnung (Mixed Beings – Without Fear and Without Hope): Man, understood as a species, does not accept these destructive processes because he is “evil” or wants “evil”. But because an exploratory spirit dwells within him that is constitutive for his species. An indomitable, imposing interest in the limits of the possible and how far they can still be stretched.The works shown in the current exhibition are small insights into individual series of the canon of images that has grown over the years. All series are related to each other both thematically and in their materiality. For example, the paper scraps left over from the brainworks silhouettes, which in the series i’d like to rent some bodyparts advance to become an analogy-creating element. The remains of one series become the central motif of another. They seek, each from a different angle, an approach to the thematic core. In doing so, he does not want to moralise. The binary categorisation between “good & evil” is not served, nor is a solution devised. He merely documents the fascination of gaining knowledge through observation in the elaborate manner of the human species.Further details in words and (moving) pictures on the homepage www.alabasterbecher.de

18.01.2022 – 15.02.2022 The exhibition shows a selection from various photo series by the artist. The artworks are visual narratives and are intended to provoke contradictory thoughts and emotions in the viewer. The idyllic moment is overshadowed by threat, the noose tightens around the protagonists, a mystical veil shrouds the luminous landscape. The ambivalent aesthetic references trigger inner conflicts by simultaneously evoking the familiar and bringing the unconscious to the surface. The creator wants to depict the personal reference to negative experiences, such as fear. The causes of anxiety may be obvious, but the feelings about it and its effects are unpredictable and unknown.Beyond these themes, analogies are reflected in the technical execution. While narrative concept and classical photo development are deliberate processes, experimental procedures are unrepeatable, accidental processes. Artistic techniques such as bleaching, photogrammetry, engraving and masking enhance the dramatic experience and bring the surface to life: Light beings and spirits emerge!
