“Tastes Like Headaches”

Getting settled into kim?’s three exhibition rooms, Indriķis Ģelzis’, Adam Cruces’ and Louisa Gagliardi’s solo presentations begin a dialogue, they mutually “magnetize” and overlap, creating a gradual shift from digital figurative painting to abstraction. As part of the exhibition “Tastes Like Headaches”, Gagliardi’s work focuses on scenes of daily rest, referring to those portrayed historically and currently; Cruces inquisitively observes aspects such as domestic economics, information bubbles and art historical trends; while Ģelzis’ abstracted metal frames – headless characters reflect on the mind’s independent structure or reality – some programmed operation, which resulted in a mechanical or casual scene.

“Mules”

“Mules” is a teleportation of the exhibition “Moles” (on view in Berlin from November 2016 till January, 2017) developed collaboratively for the Museum for Photography in Berlin, as part of the ongoing series “Seen By” between the University of Arts Berlin and Kunstbibliothek der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin.

Participants: Lydia AD, Carl Berzow, Mania Godarzani-Bakhtiari, Isabel Gatzke, Max Göran, Annika Högner, Egija Inzule, Elias Johansson, Ekaterina Reinbold, Caio Soares, Michel Wagenschütz
