Sanna Helena Berger “Absolut” at Shahin Zarinbal, Berlin
“Absolut” is a new series of works through which Berger presents antithetical artistic positions to her standard practice where pure white, symbolising the institutional, is contrasted with lived-in hues and shades of white, proposing the colour as both material and discourse. This work consists of three formal absolute gestures—readymade, unreadymade and object. A divergent act through

Barry McGee Returns to a Familiar Home Away From Home in “The Nature Inside Me”
The same that is said of Margaret Kilgallen, can be said of Barry McGee: there isn’t enough written about the universe he has created, nurtured, reimagined throughout his 30+ year career.

Ryan Travis Christian: Time Is Hardcore
In Time is Hardcore, Ryan Travis Christian explores time as a universal experience and the perverse as a universal language. Working in the gray in both theme and medium. The simplicity of the black and white and the cartoon-like characters is just the tip of the iceberg. Underneath, you’ll find the scale of grays and a deeper, darker, compelling story. From his inner world, a cast of characters emerges: birds, cats, and personified clocks paint a picture of the broader human experience. Never straying from the taboo in subject matter, Christian’s works and titles are both confronting and filled with humor. Nostalgia and the contemporary converge with vintage animation style and surreal narratives.
