HEIDI SPECKER – DAMME 11 DECEMBER – 6 MARCH 2022

In autumn 2021, Kunsthalle Lingen will realise the presentation of the exhibition entitled „DAMME“ by the artist Heidi Specker in its two rooms. Born in 1962 in the town of the same name, she now lives in Berlin and is a professor at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig, where she heads the photography class. After studying visual communication at the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, she was a master student of Joachim Brohm at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts. The Kunstmuseum Bonn and the Berlinische Galerie, among others, organised solo exhibitions for her and she took part in group exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Wien and the National Museum of Art in Kyoto.

Heidi Specker works in the medium of photography. The work „DAMME“, created in 2019, consists of 70 photographs that both reflect and comment on life in the countryside in an intense way. Normality prevails in Damme, isolated snapshots of a landscape of asphalt, concrete and brick refer to anonymity and wasteland; monocultures of maize fields and wind turbines characterise the landscape. In the rural metropolitan area, it is not the Späti or the kiosk but the drinks market that provides alcoholic beverages. The focus is on young people, privileged in their state between dreaming and expecting the future. The photographs tell of the departure partly from close up, partly with distance, look back and reflect stations in life. A video film contains the episodes „Landstraße“ and „Glückauf“ and complements the photographs.

Another component of the exhibition is the project „CORNFELD“, for which Heidi Specker invited artists to add something to a historical copperplate engraving of the useful plant maize, published in 1895 in the Hausschatz des Wissens: „Das Pflanzenreich“. The result is individual prints by nationally and internationally renowned artists Andrea Büttner, Anna Haifisch, Antje Majewski, Beate Terfloth, Daniela Burger, Dragutin Banic, Erik Swars, Florian Merkel, Gerd Grüneis, Isabelle Fein, Kerstin Drechsel, Laura Horelli, Lina Ehrentraut, Lutz Braun, Marcus Weber, Martin Städeli, Maximilian Kirmse, Olivier Guesselé-Garai, Peter Herrmann, Raaf van der Sman, Sebastian Hammwöhner, Stefan Vogel, Sunah Choi, Susanne Bürner, Tatjana Doll, Ulrike Kuschel, Wilhelm Klotzek and Wawrzyniec Tokarski.

In terms of content, the works „DAMME“ and „CORNFELD“ convey questions in a place like Lingen that also affect the people and landscape around this medium-sized town. Here, too, young people look expectantly to the future, here, too, there are limited opportunities for leisure activities, here, too, factory farming partly determines agriculture that is oriented towards agricultural efficiency. Therefore, the exhibition in Lingen deals with socially relevant aspects that affect many rural regions beyond this place. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue that conveys the CORNFELD project.

The exhibition and the catalogue are generously supported by the Foundation of Lower Saxony.

KUNSTWEGE 2021

17 July – 15 August 2021

Opening on Saturday, 17 July at 3 p.m. in or at the Kunsthalle Lingen

The „Kunstwege in Lingen“ have been taking place since 1991. The opening of this year’s Kunstwege will take place on Saturday, 17 July 2021 at 3 p.m. in or at the Kunsthalle Lingen, as permitted by the current ordinance on the containment of the coronavirus. Until Sunday 15 August, artists will present their work to a wide audience in the windows of many shops in Lingen’s city centre. As before, an informative leaflet will provide information about the locations and the people exhibiting at each of them. Two years ago, fifty artists took part in this traditional exhibition in the public space of Lingen.

Throughout the year, Lingen’s entrepreneurs attract the attention of passers-by to their shops with originally decorated shop windows. For four weeks, the shop windows present their artistic side. The shop window is traditionally regarded as the most effective advertising medium in the specialised trade; by presenting works of art, it becomes a platform for artistically formulated content in correspondence with everyday objects.

Shopping has culture in Lingen, so that a shopping spree through the town, after hopefully weakening corona pandemic, becomes an experience of a special kind. Here, art is a free bonus that is hard to resist – for inspiration and admiration.

In the shop windows, special signs point to the respective presentation locations and reveal the location of artistic works to all citizens.

As in previous years, the Kunstwege are organised in cooperation with the LWT Lingen Wirtschaft + Toruismus and the Kunstverein Lingen. The Art Routes in Lingen have been an attractive addition to the general townscape since 1991. The many artistically enriched shop windows give the town centre the charm of an open gallery.

MON COEUR MIS À NU (MY HEART LAID BARE) OCTOBER 9 – NOVEMBER 28

Marlies Behm, Anne Bellinger, Ferencz Borbàla, Laura Gerte, Angela Geisenhofer, Anouk van Kampen Wieling, Theo Lalis, Florentina Leitner, Taner Tümkaya

Curated by Meike Behm and Taner Tümkaya

The relationship between art and fashion is complex, and often marked by complexes. „To art the eternal, to fashion the transient“ was for a long time the incompatibility paradigm. The expansion of the concept of art and the de-auratization of the work of art through its technical reproducibility, as they were tackled at the beginning of the 20th century, contributed significantly to the fact that fashion and art were mutually confronted. Dadaists*, representatives of Suprematism, and artists in the Bauhaus, to name just a few examples from classical modernism, not only advanced the dissolution of the boundary between applied and high art, but also deeply anchored fashion and the fashionable in the art world. Since then, it has been impossible to imagine the cultural economy without contemporaneity as a criterion of artistic quality for fashion as well as for art. Both fields reflect current aspects such as identity, gender issues, role play, the border between free and applied art in ways that are as common as they are different. The exhibition „Mon coeur mis à nu (My heart exposed)“ consists of several elements that relate to each other in terms of form and content, primarily to open up an openness to a wide variety of readings that revolve around the complexes of „fashion“ and „art“. The project kicks off with a theatrically staged fashion show in which seven fashion designers present parts of their work. Participants are Anne Bellinger and Laura Gerte from Berlin, Florentina Leitner from Vienna, Ferencz Borbàla from Lisbon, Anouk van Kampen Wieling from Amsterdam and Théo Lalis from London. Their fashion is each individual and partly based on the principle of sustainable production. This show will be filmed by the artist and fashion photographer Taner Tümkaya, this film as well as photographs made by him are part of the exhibition and will be presented together with the presented clothes. Jewelry by goldsmiths Marlies Behm from Lübeck and Angela Geisenhofer from Munich will also be presented. During the exhibition, the designers and Marlies Behm offer a public weekend workshop, in which everyone can participate. The week after the workshop can be used if started garments could not be completed, resulting garments will be presented publicly in a final show. On one evening, the complex topic of „fashion versus art“ will be publicly discussed by experts from both fields. A booklet will be published to accompany the exhibition. The exhibition is generously supported by the Niedersächsische Sparkassenstiftung together with the Sparkasse Emsland. The workshops are generously supported by the special fund of the Kunstfonds Bonn.
