Signs, writing, symbols, codes, and communication are closely intertwined, as they all function as sign systems for transmitting information and conveying meaning. Their purpose, therefore, lies in the encoding and decoding of information. In the exhibition “Shifting Signs,” five artists with different motivations and perspectives explore the question of the legibility of signs.

Factors such as background, aesthetic considerations, generational influences, reflections on the development of sign and communication systems throughout human and natural history and shifts in levels of meaning all play a role.

Jenny Michel combines objects, drawings, photographs, and texts in a variety of media to create complex series of works whose differentiated thematic background meets an equally complex material level.

The works are based on a process of palimpsesting information. In a nonlinear layering, arrangement, collage, and decollage of signs and texts, the works coalesce into a modular, labyrinthine overall structure. Their serial connection reflects the artist's widely interconnected, highly analytical approach.

Galerie Georg Nothelfer is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new works by the Iranian artist Mahdad Alizadeh. Clay is at the center of Mahdad Alizadeh's art. It also includes installative, conceptual and performative elements and, most recently, drawing. His small to medium-sized, fired and increasingly glazed clay sculptures are organically shaped and, although not figurative, are reminiscent of plant or animal creatures and fragment.

Galerie Georg Nothelfer is pleased to present a group exhibition on the subject of ink. Originally often used for sketches and studies. The exhibition gives an insight into how diverse the medium of ink can be.

Galerie Georg Nothelfer is pleased to present to present a very special exhibition on the subject of sculpture. Don't touch! is also the motto for the works of the exhibiting artists, whose sculptures are not always recognizable as such at first glance.

Christoph M. Gais uses two levels: That of a ground constructing the surface, may it be clearly defined, for example as a brick wall, may it appear as a diffuse barrier of fruit or leaves. He also places an open, curved vine or other geometric shapes on top of it. In the most recent paintings, the round shapes develop into heads with absurd faces. They push themselves in front of the repeatedly overpainted surface of the canvas and make the viewer smile with their gazes.

Galerie Georg Nothelfer is pleased to present the first solo exhibition with new works by Iranian artist Elmira Iravanizad (*1987). Her work encompasses a variety of themes, materials and artistic genres. Iravanizad archives, arranges and reuses the remains of her artistic work. Her forms, which move from artwork to artwork as well as from one genre to another and are thus permanently in a state of suspension, are reminiscent of the artist's cultural background in Iran, of the urban landscapes of Tehran, London and Berlin, of connections and seemingly insurmountable ruptures between present and past as well as between different cultures.

Galerie Georg Nothelfer is pleased to present an exhibition with young berlin artist Inna Levinson and Walter Stöhrer, who is a representative of classical gestural and scriptural painting, during Gallery Weekend 2024.

In the show "still. there" Galerie Georg Nothelfer is pleased to present for the first time two artists who approach the subject of time and space in different ways using the means of photography. While Manfred Hamm (*1944 in Zwickau) traces the state of the past in his photographs, Damien Daufresne (*1979 in Paris) captures the ephemeral nature of the moment through photography, drawing and film.

Galerie Georg Nothelfer is pleased to present works by Fred Thieler in dialogue with works by Jan-Peter E.R. Sonntag in the show [ɛ̃fɔʁmɛl]

Fred Thieler (1916-1999) is one of the important representatives of German Informel.

Jan-Peter E.R. Sonntag (*1965) began his work on space in space in the early 1990s with monochromatic gas discharge light systems and fields of standing, sinusoidal infrasound waves - also influenced by the processuality and immediacy of Informel.

Edgar Hofschen (1941-2016) studied painting at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf from1972 to 1975. In 1977 he took part in documenta 6 in Kassel, along with Gianfranco Zappettini and other Analytic artists. Topics in Edgar Hofschen's work are separation and connection, and the color in its materiality, as well as in its psycho-physiological effect. Hofschen used materials such as tent canvas, and sail cloth, which were worked with seams, tears, paper strips and wood glue.
