Ge Ba are unique documents from 1950s China; only a few of them survive to this day. They were exhibited in Paris at Centre Pompidou in 2003, and at Fondation Joan Miró Barcelona in 1995. Galerie Albrecht is showing them for the very first time in Germany.
The term Ge Ba refers to an assemblage of pieces of cloth that were originally meant to be used for patching. The textile workers who saved and collected these textiles used them to create free abstract compositions, similar to the works of Western avant-gardes at the time. Unlike the notion prevalent in the West then that art is the work of an individual, Ge Ba were created as collective works, even when they were designed by just one woman.
Paintings by Michael Toenges have been shown at institutions such as Museum Wiesbaden, Kolumba Museum in Cologne and the PEAC Museum in Freiburg. He explores the question of what colours and paint are. Even if paint makes it possible to create immaterial things, and express ideas, emotions, drama, and silence, it has a pastose, material nature. Colours are carriers of light, and in combination and harmony, they start to glow. Letting colour shine is the great art of Michael Toenges.

Peter Mathis loves distance. He pairs direct experience with the analytical gaze of observation. He seeks eternal validity in the spontaneous moment, and he turns time into timelessness. He has a keen and attentive eye for nature and landscapes. For the past two years, he has devoted himself to alpine flowers. The never-changing white background before which he photographs the plants, and the Latin names, make Peter Mathis appear as a naturalist. On the one hand, he is precisely that because he documents what he finds, but on the other hand, the plants are showcased because of their beauty. In these photographs, lines and forms appear as if they had been drawn, and every detail, and how it contributes to the overall appearance, becomes visible.

Over the years, he has increasingly dissolved the material aspect in his paintings. Concrete shapes, opaque colours have become more and more intangible. With a brush, paint, and canvas, he gets ever closer to embodying light.

Michela Ghisetti’s work ranges between the poles of abstract and figurative art. In her works, biographical and emotional elements merge with issues of philosophy and art theory. This gives rise to conceptually rigid, humorous and intuitive groups of works in which the artist constantly tries out new content and a wide variety of materials, challenging their fundamental principles. – Antonia Hoerschelmann

The paintings by Zoran Minić, the photographs by Maria Mölko, and the drawings by David Connearn are both. Unlike the previous exhibition on landscape, ‘Landschaft’, ‘Stadt Land Fluss’ does not present unconnected individual positions; rather, a contrast is built up that is resolved in the connection.

I try to be aware of light at all times, I am always watching for it. I am not looking at light because I am a photographer, I am photographing because I am deeply involved with light. Something happens when I am affected by a visual experience, it is meaningful beyond what I am looking at (...). When I photograph, I try to make those invisibles felt. I identify with nature and natural objects. I become the thing I photograph. I have to fall in love with it. – Ruth Bernhard

The painters Joseph Marioni, Peter Tollens and Michael Toenges have made colour alone the subject of their paintings, imbuing it with all its sensuality. Colour and paint are their material, paint is haptic, it has a relationship to its environment, the layers of paint next to or underneath, and to the conditions of light. Colour and paint always change and if we are ready to give our entire attention to them, they can tell us just as much as a figurative painting.
