Ewigkeit lügt

Manon Heupel, Hannah van Ginkel, Tobias Sternberg

One can only guess what is actually hidden behind a work of art. Outside the reach of light, in the shadow of faces, a game is being played. Only the one who has something to lose laughs. The gums shine, the ears ring, the secrets whisper loudly, and at the same time, we glance over our conversation partner's shoulder to see if something important is happening. We wonder how quickly time passes, which may not even exist. It exists only for us, who are made of decaying flesh, not for the lady in the picture. Forever gazing into the distance. There is a child, and there are the hands of art.

The exhibition "Eternity Lies" features works by Manon Heupel, Hannah van Ginkel, and Tobias Sternberg.

Painter Manon Heupel, born in 1950, lives and works in Heilsbronn.

Artist Hannah van Ginkel was born in Siegburg in 1982 and studied Fine Arts at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf. She has been living and working in Brandenburg for several years.

Tobias Sternberg, born in Stockholm in 1973, completed his art studies in London and has been living in Berlin since 2009.

The exhibition "Motherhood I / Concepts of Motherhood" launches a series of exhibitions on motherhood and femininity. The exhibition project is organised by IntAkt Vienna, in cooperation with the HilbertRaum and the Retramp Gallery in Berlin. The works deal with motherhood, menstruation, birth, breastfeeding, everyday life with children during and beyond the pandemic, ageing with children, etc. in various ways. The artistic standpoints, produced by artist mothers and non-mothers, range from personal perspectives and experiences via humorous and experimental works to socio-critical and socio-political statements. An important aim is to show that motherhood is not a topic to be avoided or an obstacle, but can be a source of inspiration. We all have been born of a mother. Everyone is related to this theme, everyone is touched by it in one way or another.

In the commercial and museum arts sector, motherhood seems to be a taboo subject, even today. Female artists are still advised to choose between children and career. Clichés about artists who are mothers are still very strong: as if having a child meant losing their physical self-determination and the necessary energy to create good art. Although art historiography in the field of gender studies thinks about many facets of gender, both the visual arts and art history continue to propagate the myth of the male artistic genius who prefers to create genius masterpieces in a state of intoxication. The aim of this exhibition is to question and deconstruct the myths surrounding male and female attributions in the field of art. The exhibition also points to the social structures that make it difficult for female artists-mothers and non-mothers alike-to make a name for themselves on the art market.

Opening:	Friday, 09.11.2018, 6-10pm
Duration:	09.11. - 18.11.2018
	'On this road there are no godspoke men. They are gone and I am left and they have taken with them the world'. (Cormac Mc Carthy: The Road, 2006 ) The exhibition 'godspoke' presents recent works of Hannah van Ginkel: installations, drawings, paintings and collages. In the center of her artistic exploration is her work 'Ey, Altar!'. Her creations full of glitter, kitsch and abundance may seem opposed to Mc Carthys grey postapocalyptic reality - but deal alike with ethics, hiding disorientation and the loss of moral values beneath the iridescent surface .

	Hannah van Ginkel Magda Kaufmann Dorothee Zombronner
	Und Sie wissen nicht, mit wem Sie reden.

Opening:	Friday, 16.09.2016, 6-10pm
Duration:	16.09.-25.09.2016
Opening hours:	Friday, 6-10pm Saturday+Sunday, 2-7pm
Curated by:	Kerstin Grein and Hannah van Ginkel Und Sie wissen nicht, mit wem Sie reden. (And you'd never guess to who you're talkin'.) Harmless appearance? No surprises lurk behind this facade? These three artists' work, Hannah van Ginkel, Magda Kaufmann and Dorothee Zombronner confront societal expectations. They change, replace, manipulate and counter that which is established and widely known. Surrealist montages and alternative concepts come to the fore, challenging existing ideals and notions of role models. And will an idyll be destroyed in the process? Oops...then a ship, the black freighter, disappears out to sea, and on it is me.

Opening hours:

Fri 6-10pm
Sat+Sun 2-7pm

Curated by:

Kerstin Grein



Brace Position. The exhibition presents collages, paintings, video and installations by Berlin-based artist Hannah van Ginkel. The works on display offer a varied insight
into a superficially different, sometimes horrifying world. This world is composed of
fragments of common things, gathered from everyday life, put into new forms and
contexts. Hereby they confront the spectator with the gaping abyss hidden behind the
highly polished facade of sanctioned reality. Please fasten your seatbelt - and enjoy.

Here are some impressions of the exhibition opening 'The Sky Is Falling' at HilbertRaum:

2015, March

The Sky Is Falling

The sky is falling and the world is losing it's order.- The exhibition features the works of artists living in Berlin who attempt to address the relationship between the individual and society, between the self and the world. Their works question the perceived order of things, breaking the ideas down and developing them into something new. This is done by addressing moral concepts such as identity search, apocalypse, depression, paradise and utopia.

2015, February

In January I was kindly invited by Anke Becker, a Berlin-based artist, to take part in this very nice project:

Fernweh* the good life is a mail-art project by the German artist Anke Becker, created on the occasion of an artist residency at the KHN Center for the Arts in Nebraska City, USA / January and February 2015.

An international group of visual artists and writers has been invited by Anke to send a postcard to her in Nebraska with their very own interpretation of 'Fernweh..the good life'.

*the German word 'Fernweh' is a longing, an aching for the far-away, the painful longing to be far away. Fernweh is related to 'Heimweh' homesickness, aching for home.

In return, every participant will receive a similar, one-of-a-kind postcard from Nebraska City.

An exhibition of the postcards may be seen on the Open Studios of the KHN-Center for the Arts on Thursday, February 19 / from 5pm-7pm.

Here is a link to my postcard: A postcard to Nebraska

2014, JULY

During the art festival I met Elfie Berkenbusch a journalist from Düsseldorf. We talked about living as an artist in Berlin. This interview and even more interesting conversations concerning this topic you will find on her blog:

'Künstler in Berlin'

2014, JULY

Here are some impressions of my installation 'Sommerblumen' at the 'Klunkerkranich' during the art festival '48 Stunden Neukölln':

2014, JUNE

I want to briefly inform you about a few changes in the presentation of my installation 'Sommerblumen' as part of the art festival '48 Stunden Neukölln' in Berlin.

The small garden shed, has now become a garden tent, that invites you to make yourself comfortable on the couch inside and enjoy my installation. You can find the tent behind the entrance to the 'Klunkerkranich'.

Exact Location description/public transport:

U-Bahn station Rathaus Neukölln
Entrance Postbank/Bibliothek
Elevator to the 5th floor basement
Walk up to the 6th floor.

I would like to recommend, to visit the exhibition on Saturday/Sunday between 10am and 15am, because, as the organizer informed me, afterwards it might get so crowdy that for security reasons there is no more intake.

Despite all that I will show my installation on Friday 19pm to 22pm and Saturday/Sunday 10am to 19pm. Of course I am pleased to see you there later than 15am, but I have to point out that the entrance from 16pm is 3 Euro.

Now I wish us for the weekend quite a lot of sunshine and look forward to meet you at 48 Stunden Neukölln!

2014, JUNE

From June 27th to 29th the art festival '48 Stunden Neukölln' will take place in Berlin. The festival theme deals with the issue 'Courage'. I'm presenting my installation 'Sommerblumen' at a very special place: In a garden shed, which is located in a city garden, over the rooftops of Berlin. I will provide the full version of my work as well as a selection of pages on the subject "Courage".

The installation will be shown on Friday from 19pm to 22pm and Saturday/Sunday from 10am to 19pm on the 6th parking deck of the 'Klunkerkranich'. More then 80 artists will present their works at that place. So there is a lot to discover!

I am looking forward to see you there!

For more information: '48 Stunden Neukölln Programm'

2014, MARCH

I am pleased to inform you that I am now represented by the online gallery '5 Pieces Gallery' with three of my works. You will find this works on: '5 Pieces Gallery'

2014, February

Like announced in July the important changes at the work cycle 'Sommerblumen' are done so far. Your are now welcome to view the interactive version. Of course, this is a work playing around with german language and from time to time I was thinking about adding some english subtitles to it. But I came to the point that it is not possible transfering the meaning and esprit into english in a pleasant way ... so, only german. Viel Vergnügen!

2014, JANUARY

Artworks '2013' was updated. Please have a look and enjoy ;-).

..and here is the video, which was mentioned further down in this text.

2013, JULY

Currently I'm completely drowning in updating my website and there is still some work to do.

When everything is ready you can see the final version of my installation 'Sommerblumen' on this website. In this moment you can only watch and listen to the draft version by browsing to 'Artworks/2012'.
I have attached an explanatory text in which you can learn more about the installation itself, the presentation and my intentions. In the moment this explanation is only in German. The English version will come up soon. Nevertheless the pictures speak for themselves!

In 2012 my dear friend Isabel Kronenberger made a short movie about me during my application for the TV-series 'Alles für die Kunst' at Arte TV in my studio. I will also put this on my website shortly.
In this movie you will see me in front of the installation 'Aufwachsen', that I'm working on since 2012 and that still handicaps me since that time, because it's that big. I hope to finish that work quite soon.
However, this still needs a lot of small lamps that are to be connected to it and on the floor I want a mound of potting soil. So stay tuned!

My latest paintings are collages on canvas. This work cycle produced by the random deliquescence of ink on the wet canvas. In the semi-dry paint I draw with ink again. During the dry phase I sit between huge stacks of newspapers (fashion, lifestyle and porn magazines, newspapers and advertising leaflets) and search the image material for my collages. First, the material gets color-sorted and is assembled after that to new socially critical 'inner images'. The result can be found at 'Artworks/2013'.


Now I wish you all a lot of fun browsing my site!
