<p><em>Nog niet zo lang geleden was schilderkunst uit Berlijn synoniem met Duitse schilderkunst, waarbij grote gebaren en verhalen niet werden geschuwd. Maar in Berlijn laat een nieuwe generatie schilders zich zien, van zeer diverse komaf. Ze beoefent schilderkunst vol vertrouwen, maar op bescheiden formaat. Kunstbeeld bekijkt vier schilders die het afgelopen jaar opvielen.</em></p>
<p><strong>GRENSGEBIEDEN</strong></p>
<p>Michael Markwick (1974) groeide op in Michigan als zoon van Nederlandse immigranten en genoot zijn opleiding als schilder aan Indiana University. In zijn schilderijen en houtskooltekeningen varieert hij op natuurlijke motieven. Meestel gaat het om bladeren, bomen en struiken waaruit vervolgens abstracte vormen groeien. Natuur staat in zijn oeuvre meer voor groei, dynamiek en veranderlijkheid, dan voor een vastomlijnd landschapbeeld. De kunstenaar heeft grensgebieden tussen stad en natuur altijd interessant gevonden, daar waar natuur ook verstoord wordt en daar waar de energie van de mens zichzelf terugvindt in het landschap.</p>

 Afgelopen zomer werd Markwick uitgenodigd om voor een Berlijns dagblad, B.Z., een werk te maken voor een speciale editie op 11 september, die geheel was gewijd aan de herdenking van de aanslagen in New York. De grote houtskooltekening die hij maakte, Shelter genaamd, verwijst niet expliciet naar de aanslagen, maar balt de explosiviteit en het drama samen die met die dag verbonden zijn. Het onderwerp hoeft, blijkt hier, niet letterlijk in beeld te worden gebracht om toch de kern van de zaak te raken. En ook hier gebruikt hij een vocabulaire dat aan de natuur is ontleend. Markwick beoefent een vorm van schilderkunst die deels verwant is aan het abstract expressionisme, waarin het gebaar en de daad van het schilderen een inhoud op zich vormen. Uniek en vaak tegen de haren instrijkend is zijn palet, waarin recentelijk veel geel, oranje en zwart voorkomen naast landschappelijke kleuren als blauw en groen. Een onderliggend thema is vergankelijkheid. Dat is in zijn behandeling van de natuur te zien, en in figuren die op plekken in het werk opduiken, zoals levende skeletten of een glimp van een gezicht tussen de bomen.</p>
<p>De kunstenaar kwam in 2002 naar Nederland en vestigde zich in Dordrecht. Vanuit het CBK kreeg hij de mogelijkheid een half jaar in Berlijn te werken en inmiddels werkt hij voornamelijk in de Duitse hoofdstad. In 2010 had hij een opvallende tentoonstelling in het Atelierhof Kreuzberg, in een tentoonstellingsruimte die is verbonden aan het ateliercomplex, waar ook een aantal Nederlandse kunstenaars werken. Daar presenteerde hij een serie groot formaat houtskooltekeningen, onder de titel ‘The Periphery Rising’. Het ging hier, net als in de schilderijen, niet alleen om de voorstelling, maar ook om de kracht daarachter, om de agressie, weifeling of andere energie die in het handschrift ligt besloten.</p>

<p><em><strong>Presenteert: Is there a work of literature or text that has had an influence on your work or practice as a painter?</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Michael:</strong> Naming  just one book that is essential to my work or identity is very difficult, but there are areas and genres that have left an impression on me and have effected my work. Some sit on the periphery of my practice, and others figure in more centrally to what I make.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>The works of American writer Flannery O’ Connor harbor a disturbing darkness that is still beautiful and sometimes humorous. That tension of something about to happen has left a mark on me that sometimes manifests in how much of my work sits on the edge of various narratives or abstraction. Some curators have pointed this out in the past &#8211; that it hard to discern whether the images in my work are pre-apocalypse, during the moment, or post-apocalyptic. I relate more to the Greek sense of apokálypsis: &#8220;lifting of the veil&#8221; or &#8220;revelation&#8221;.  O’ Connor is always doing that &#8211; lifting the veil on reality and the assumptions made.  Dostoevsky also played an early formative roll, as well many other Russian writers.  I’m often attracted to literature that has existential components.  I like works that are sober, dense, and rich in story, metaphor, and symbolism. I always liked the flirting with the supernatural that would dwell in so much of the work. I enjoy writings where other facets of reality &#8211; such as metaphysics, myth, legend, or science fiction &#8211; are present.  Recently, I have been enjoying William S. Burroughs writing, so rich and twisted&#8230; written to be wonderfully descriptive in a visual sense.  Kurt Vonnegut comes to mind, as well as a steady diet of various mythological, epic, creation or apocalyptic texts. Dense, layered visions of life and death reside in all of the above.  I have little patience for surface irony and trendiness that seems to pervade snarky writing. I like ironies that double back on themselves.</p>
<p>As I write this I am thinking of a variety of landscapes,  dark ravines, and deep forests, the silent woods after a family is killed in “A Good Man is Hard to Find”. Death and nature seem to walk hand in hand in much of my own work. Similar to the atmosphere of Hans Baldung Grien’s paintings, the soberness of O’Connor’s strange worlds have a darkness that remains just below the surface. You really start to feel transported somehow rather than to be given a one-liner.</p>
<p>And as with many painters that I appreciate, I have an interest in texts that reach into nuanced areas which are open and poetic, often raising the level of what to strive for in my work.  In the authors I read, there exists something similar to the painterly gaze. There is always something new to be found.</p>
<p>It is not so different than walking into a museum or gallery. We will gravitate to works that speak to us or our work in one way or another. They are fellow travelers who are searching for something similar, or commenting on life in a way that resonates within our work.  A writer’s ideas and voice can resonate with our own projects, resulting in epiphanies.</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>PRESENTeert is a mimeograph printed (in Dutch: gestencild) platfom for painting. The goal is to present painters ideas and visions, apart from their visual works… perhaps related to painting.</em></p>

<p><strong>Exhibition at Autocenter, Berlin, from June 25 through July 10, 2010</strong></p>
<p><strong>BLICK OHNE ENDE (A VIEW WITHOUT END)<br />
Dutch artists in Berlin</strong></p>
<p>BLICK OHNE ENDE features the works of six Dutch artists based in Berlin:</p>
<p><strong>Tjebbe Beekman (1972)<br />
Ronald de Bloeme (1971)<br />
Arjan van Helmond (1971)<br />
Maarten Janssen (1965)<br />
Michael Markwick (1974)<br />
Lidwien van de Ven (1963)</strong></p>
<p>The show is curated by Jurriaan Benschop.<br />
<strong><br />
Opening</strong><br />
Friday, June 25, 2010, 8 p.m.</p>
<p>While Dutch masters of the 17th century were famous for their realism, contemporary art exhibits a wide range of approaches. An important strength of Dutch art still lies in painting and the painterly view.</p>
<p>A number of the participating artists have a strongly developed eye for abstraction and clarity, in the tradition of Mondriaan. Other participants choose classic genres like interiors and landscapes, and shed a modern light on it. In general, for the Dutch, the desire towards the spiritual or the sublime derives its prestige from a sober and earthly mentality.</p>
<p>What connects the work of different generations is the importance of the visual. Moreover, other motives, conceptual or not, play a role, such as the interest in image forming, artistic authorship and questioning visual clichés.</p>
<p><strong>Berlin</strong><br />
The artists exhibited here have all left their homeland and are part of the tradition of Dutch artists who have crossed borders to develop themselves artistically. The current generation even seems to experience going abroad as a necessity.</p>
<p>Berlin’s international context offers artists new perspectives and forces them to reflect on their positions. On the one hand, the Dutch background of these artists gains prestige by their stay in Berlin, and on the other hand, it is actually downplayed due to this fact.</p>
<p>Friday July 9: Book Launch, Performance, Film, Artist Talks<br />
On July 9, a catalogue will be presented in which the artists are introduced by curator Jurriaan Benschop. The launch of the catalogue takes place on a special evening with artist talks, the screening of the documentary Dutch Light and a performance by the Dutch poet K. Michel. Programme details will soon be published on the website www.niederlaender-in-berlin.de</p>
<p><strong>Location</strong><br />
Autocenter, Eldenaerstrasse 34A.<br />
Opening hours: Thurs-Fri-Sat from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.<br />
<a href="http://www.autocenterart.de" target="_blank">www.autocenterart.de</a></p>
<p><strong>Curator</strong><br />
Since 2006 Jurriaan Benschop has been working as an author and curator in Berlin. In 2009, Dutch publishing company Athenaeum released his book  &#8216;Wonen tussen de anderen&#8217; (&#8216;Living among the others&#8217;), which portrays Berlin as an art city.</p>

<p><strong>Vooraankondiging</strong></p>
<p>Tentoonstelling in Autocenter Berlijn, van 25 juni tot en met 10 juli 2010</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-799" title="droppedImage" src="http://www.michaelmarkwick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/droppedImage.png" alt="" width="293" height="413" />BLICK OHNE ENDE Niederländer in Berlin</strong></p>
<p>Blick ohne Ende brengt het werk samen van zes Nederlandse kunstenaars die in Berlijn werken en internationaal aan de weg timmeren: <strong>Tjebbe Beekman</strong> (1972), <strong>Ronald de Bloeme </strong>(1971), <strong>Arjan van Helmond</strong> (1971),<strong> Maarten Janssen</strong> (1965), <strong>Michael Markwick </strong>(1974) en <strong>Lidwien van de Ven</strong> (1963).</p>
<p><strong>Een blik die geen einde neemt</strong><br />
Terwijl de zeventiende-eeuwse Hollandse meesters vanwege hun realisme werden geroemd, laat de hedendaagse kunst een veelvoud aan benaderingen zien, zowel figuratief als abstract. Nog altijd echter ligt in de schilderkunstige blik een belangrijke kracht van de Nederlandse kunst.</p>
<p>Wat het werk van verschillende generaties verbindt is het belang van het visuele en de verschijningsvorm van dingen. In het getoonde werk komt een blik tot uiting die geen einde neemt en die in de oppervlakte het wezenlijke weet te vinden. Daarna en daarnaast spelen andere (conceptuele) motieven een rol, zoals de interesse in beeldvorming, artistiek auteurschap en het ondervragen van visuele clichés.</p>
<p>Voor een aantal deelnemers geldt dat het oog voor abstractie en helderheid, in de traditie van Mondriaan, sterk ontwikkeld is. Zij denken in gereduceerde, geometrische vlakken. Andere deelnemers kiezen klassieke genres als het interieur en het landschap en laten daarin een hedendaags licht schijnen. In het algemeen valt op dat het verlangen naar spirituele of een verheven inhoud bij de Nederlanders gestalte krijgt vanuit een nuchtere en aardse mentaliteit. Vrijheid en verbeelding staan hoog in het vaandel maar tegelijk wil de Nederlander &#8220;met beide benen op de grond staan.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Publicatie en randprogramma</strong><br />
In een begeleidende publicatie en een randprogramma (film, voordracht en kunstenaarsgesprek) wordt het werk van de kunstenaars in het bredere perspectief geplaatst van de Nederlandse, de Duitse en internationale kunst. Zo komt de vraag aan de orde in hoerverre er sprake is van een Nederlandse mentaliteit in de kunst. Ook wordt gereflecteerd op de vraag wat de stad Berlijn voor de kunstenaars en de ontwikkeling van hun werk betekent, en op wat voor manier geografische herkomst überhaupt nog een rol speelt in een globaal georganiseerde kunstwereld.</p>
<p><strong>Samensteller tentoonstelling</strong><br />
Jurriaan Benschop werkt sinds 2006 als schrijver en tentoonstellingsmaker in Berlijn. Hij publiceerde in 2009 in Nederland het boek &#8220;Wonen tussen de anderen&#8221; dat Berlijn als kunststad portretteert.</p>
<p><strong>Locatie</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.autocenterart.de" target="_blank">Autocenter</a>, Eldenaerstrasse 34a Berlijn www.autocenterart.de geopend: do-vrij-za van 16 tot 18 uur</p>
<p><strong>Opening</strong><br />
vrijdag 25 juni 2010, 20 uur</p>
<p><strong>Partners</strong><br />
De tentoonstelling komt tot stand met de welwillende steun van het Fonds BKVB in Amsterdam en de Ambassade van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in Berlijn.</p>

<p><strong><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-799" title="michael markwick" src="http://www.michaelmarkwick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/droppedImage.png" alt="" width="293" height="413" /></em></strong>Ausstellung im Autocenter Berlin, vom 25. Juni bis zum 10. Juli 2010</p>
<p><strong>BLICK OHNE ENDE<br />
Niederländer in Berlin</strong></p>
<p>Die Ausstellung zeigt Werke von sechs niederländischen Künstlern, die in Berlin arbeiten.  Die Niederlande sind seit jeher als Land der Malerei bekannt. Die Meister des 17. Jahrhunderts erlangten weltweit Berühmtheit und sind auch in deutschen Museen gut vertreten, zum<br />
Beispiel in der Berliner Gemäldegalerie. Das Bild der niederländischen Gegenwartskunst ist weniger vollständig. Die Ausstellung füllt hier eine Leerstelle und zeigt, dass sich im „malerischen Blick“ noch immer eine wichtige Inspirationsquelle für die niederländische Kunst verbirgt.</p>
<p>Blick ohne Ende führt das Werk von sechs niederländischen Künstlern zusammen, die in Berlin arbeiten und international auf sich aufmerksam machen: Tjebbe Beekman (1972), Ronald de Bloeme (1971), Arjan van Helmond (1971), Maarten Janssen (1965), Michael Markwick (1974) und Lidwien van de Ven (1963).</p>
<p><strong>Ein Blick, der kein Ende nimmt</strong></p>
<p>Während die Meister des 17. Jahrhunderts aufgrund ihres Realismus gerühmt werden, bedient sich die Gegenwartskunst einer Vielzahl von Ansätzen. Was das Werk von unterschiedlichen Künstlern und Generationen verbindet, ist das Interesse für das Visuelle und die Erscheinungsform von Dingen. Hierin offenbart sich ein Blick, der kein Ende nimmt und der in der Oberfläche das Wesentliche findet. Danach und daneben spielen andere (konzeptuelle) Motive eine Rolle, etwa die Frage nach der Bildung einer Vorstellung, nach künstlerischer Urheberschaft und danach, welche visuellen Klischees uns zur Gewohnheit<br />
geworden sind.</p>
<p>Für einige der teilnehmenden Künstler gilt, dass ihr Blick für Abstraktion und Klarheit in der Tradition Mondrians stark entwickelt ist. Sie denken in reduzierten, geometrischen Flächen. Andere Teilnehmer wählen klassische Genreszenen wie ein Interieur oder eine Landschaft und lassen darin ein zeitgenössisches Licht erscheinen. Das Verlangen nach spirituellen oder erhabenen Inhalten nimmt ausgehend von einer nüchternen und erdigen Mentalität Gestalt an. Freiheit und Fantasie werden groß geschrieben, gleichzeitig wollen die Niederländer jedoch „mit beiden Beinen fest auf dem Boden stehen“.</p>
<p><strong>Berlin</strong><br />
Gemeinsam ist den in der Ausstellung zu sehenden Künstlern, dass sie alle ihre niederländische Heimat verlassen haben. Sie fügen sich damit in eine Tradition von Künstlern, die die Grenzen der Niederlande überschritten haben, um sich künstlerisch weiter entfalten zu können. Die heutige Generation scheint den Schritt ins Ausland sogar als Notwendigkeit zu<br />
erfahren. Der internationale Kontext Berlins bietet frische Perspektiven und zwingt zu einer erneuten Reflexion des eigenen Werkes. So gewinnt die niederländische Identität dieser Künstler durch den Aufenthalt in Berlin einerseits an Kontur, andererseits wird sie gerade dadurch relativiert.</p>
<p><strong>Publikation und Rahmenprogramm</strong><br />
Am 9. Juli findet ein Themenabend mit Film, Vortrag und KünstlergespraÅNchen statt, an dem auch der die Ausstellung begleitende Katalog präsentiert wird. Zunächst wird der Dokumentarfilm Dutch Light zu sehen sein, worin Künstler und Wissenschaftler sich dem Mythos des besonderen holländischen Lichtes annähern. Im Anschluss daran trägt der Dichter K. Michel eine Auswahl neuer Gedichte vor. Die teilnehmenden Künstler sprechen darüber, wo sie ihre Werke im größeren Zusammenhang der niederländischen, deutschen und internationalen Kunst verorten. Außerdem wird der Frage nachgegangen, was die Stadt Berlin für sie und die Entwicklung ihrer OEuvres bedeutet. Die KünstlergespraÅNche werden<br />
moderiert von Heinz Stahlhut (Leiter der Sammlung Bildende Kunst an der Berlinischen Galerie) und Jurriaan Benschop (Kurator Blick ohne Ende).</p>
