Exhibition catalog:
„Um mich zu unterwerfen, muss ich (mich) entwerfen." (eng.: ""To submit, I must design myself."")
The interplay of forces and resistances is a recurring theme in the works and theses of artists Yukako Ando, Anja Ciupka, Dan Dryer, Notburga Karl, Christian Keinstar, and Thomas Trinkl. The exhibition SUBLIME AND SUBMISSION brought together their works in the historically charged architecture of a former bakery.
Submission translates as both subservience (human obedience) and submission in the sense of a draft. The artists approached this dual meaning of the term through often elaborately staged use of their bodies and their authorship in expansive interventions and sculptural gestures.
In addition to numerous illustrations, the publication contains texts and statements by Raetri Guga, Sonja Lau Abraham and interviews with the artists of the exhibition:
Notburga Karl, Yukako Ando, Christian Keinstar, Dan Dryer, Anja Ciupka and Thomas Trinkl.
Scope: 40 pages, with various color illustrations,
19,8 x 28 cm
ISBN-Nr.: 978-3-95763-251-7
Price: 10 euros.

Spatial interventions are the result of an intensive engagement by established and emerging artists with the urban, open spaces under construction of a former bakery. With their spatial aesthetics, the dirty, gloomy, and historically charged architecture evokes deep fascination while simultaneously presenting a challenge for use.
The site of the Konsum cooperative bakery, built by Carl Moritz in Düsseldorf in 1910, has been the subject of ongoing subcultural rewriting since its closure in 1973. In addition to a well-known rental disco, the premises housed a bar run by the Düsseldorf Moto Clan, complete with a shooting range, and various other accumulated makeshift structures and curiosities of human passions.
The play with forces and resistance runs like a thread through the works and theses of the artists whose convergence is evoked in the exhibition Sublime and Submission. Submission translates as both subservience (human obedience) and submission in the sense of a design. The artists approach this dual anchoring of the term through the (often elaborately staged) use of their bodies and their authorship in expansive interventions and sculptural gestures. The fetishistic character that seems to permeate the resulting works can also be understood as a consequence of the artist's movement away from the object in the course of dispossession and submission.
The work of dancer and choreographer Yukio Suzuki is about movement in the literal sense. In his performance "EVANESCERE" (Latin: to disappear), Suzuki's supple body reveals ever-changing intentions that seemingly follow internal, organic impulses. Released from his body, Suzuki's physical energy fills the entire space.
At the exhibition opening, Kay Heymer will give an introduction and feature music from Bass Jog, the project of the two sound artists DJ Elephant Power and F.X.Randomiz. For several years now, the two have been regularly burying themselves in secret Brussels basement studios to work on their very own interpretation of danceable music.
We look forward to energetic sounds and an exciting exhibition!
