Cutting-edge

This event also happened few months ago, but as new one is coming up in autumn, I thought that it still worth of putting up some photos here. I am talking about Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei, once a cotton-spinning areal and today an artistic hotspot. More about its history and revival you may find here, but I will just mention that many of Berlin galleries have found its (second) presence here as well as some up-and-coming and already established artists, the most prominent being Neo Rauch. Not only that: British Guardian proclaimed its 'cutting-edge arts' as 'the best of Germany'.

For this spring gallery tour, we were invited by Halle 14, a fantastic exhibition space, which charms with its raw architecture but avant-garde contents. One of its gems is group Famed, which love to play with light installations. Other shots that I made in different exhibition spaces there were the following ones:

Peter Krauskopf, "Landschaften", 2006-2007
L.C. Armstrong, "Green Vase with Oranges and Skull", 2005
Markus Uhr, "Marilyn", 2009
Exhibition comparing Dutch classics of 17th century and contemporary artists, SOR Rusche Collection

There are regular gallery tours every spring, autumn and winter. More information you may find on their website.
