Permanent Collection KioskShop berlin (KSb). ein Gesamtkunstwerk. Semjon H. N. Semjon. Painting, Sculpture, Fotografie, Urban Art, Mixed

11 Jahre hat "KioskShop berlin (KSb)" von H. N. Semjon von 2000 - 2011 das Gesicht von Berlins Mitte mitgeprägt. Der weiße Laden als ein minimalistisches Kunstwerk, der die Kunst und den EInzelhandel miteinander verbindet, mit den seltsam entrückten weiß-wächsernen Produkstskupturen von Alltagsgütern. Zum neuen Leben erwacht, bedingt durch die beinahe Zerstörung durch des großen Kunstammlers Nicloas Berggruen eigener Holdings, wird er bis 2027 auf jeden Fall noch zu sehen sein.

Profile

The Berlin gallery Semjon Contemporary, founded by Semjon H. N. Semjon in 2011, represents German and international artists working in various media such as painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, photography and video. The contemporary program is mostly shown in solo exhibitions. At the same time, works by all the artists are usually on display in the office, Schaulager and Garten-Salon, staged as dialogical constellations.

Upcoming

18.10. – 23.11. Takayuki Daikoku. Work on Paper, Sculpture, Installation. Repro Atelier, Takayuki Daikoku, 2024, Holz, japanische Papier, Metall, Photo: Lukas Heibges

Takayuki Daikoku has made the universal law of pars pro toto his own, as his artistic language is strongly inspired by nature with a repertoire of forms developed from it that moves in the border area of abstraction and biomorphic forms. 
The basic determining factor in the creation of a work of art is usually an additive moment. Many individual forms become a whole.

29.11. – 18.01.2025 Li Silberberg. Painting, Work on Paper, Drawing, Sculpture. Repro O.T., Li Silberberg, 2023, Papier, Tinte auf Leinwand, je 100 x 100 cm, Photo: Eric Tschernow

Paper is the material par excellence for the artist Li Silberberg. When she uses it for her paintings and artist's books (pl. compare "Bibliothk/Library"), she enters into a very close mental and physical relationship with it. So close that she literally rubs the soft and wet paper with her hands, penetrating the still reasonably smooth surface. The canvas works are particularly radical and voluminous and tactile in their massive layering, inviting the viewer's eyes to take a journey.

24.01.2025 – 01.03.2025 Unuhr. Ursula Sax. Print, Work on Paper, Sculpture, Installation. Repro Unuhren, Ursula Sax, 2007, Xerox-Drucke, Photo: Ursula Sax

Reflecting on (life) time, thinking and looking ahead may be necessary for everyone in life from time to time. Ursula Sax, who turns 90 this year, began a group of works, the "Unuhren", at the beginning of the millennium and will continue to develop them in various media. We can be curious. Time is surprisingly brushed against the grain. The clock is ticking...

Past

06.09. – 12.10. Transition I. Colin Ardley. Drawing, Sculpture, Installation. Repro In the Making (Atelier), Colin Ardley, 2024, Photo: Colin Ardley

Colin Ardley's work is characterized by his idiosyncratic and at the same time confident composition, the balancing and interrelating of volume, color and form. Ponderation is the term that describes it all. The artist needs months, even years in the case of large works, until the ponderation has reached its ideal center. The work must grow - slowly - one part docks onto the other, expands into the space and becomes a parable of time.

01.06. – 29.06. Neue Arbeiten. Hitomi Uchikura. Work on Paper, Sculpture, Installation. Repro Themenbild (Detail einer "Bright Cell"), Hitomi Uchikura, 2023-2024, Plastilin, Nikon-Kameralinsen, Spiegel, Hermes-Leder, variabel, Photo: Galerie

Light and shadow are the artist's partners when, for example, she uses physical pressure and persistence to create reliefs from sheets of paper that expand sculpturally into the space (the Lumière works), or spring from the paper ground as 'abstract-organic growths'. Her Bright Cells, sculptures made of malleable material, as well as objective lenses, mirrors and treated leather, also work with light. Only that they capture it and give the sculpture a rich inner life.

Paper is a very important material for the artist, who lives near Tokyo. Hitomi Uchikura's Lumière series, created by applying physical force to the paper, floats in front of the wall as a large rectangular paper disc with its numerous sculptural concave medallions and radiates calm and concentrated power. Her glass sculptures covered with colored leather form a logical counterpart to the Lumière panes. The light is guided into infinity.

The second part of this exhibition series focuses on painting (Shachar, Kohlmetz, Thiel and guests), drawing (Shachar, Kohlmetz, Kaehne and guests) and sculpture (Shachar, Kaehne and guests). How can the image of the human being be represented in contemporary art today, when we have long been visually overwhelmed by images of images, sculptures and people through digital social media? Part I of en face was dedicated to photography.

15.03. – 13.04. It happened tomorrow. Ute Essig, Henrik U. Müller. Painting, Sculpture, Installation, Fotografie, Mixed. Repro Intrusion, Ute Essig, 2013-2024, Keramik, glasiert, variabel, Photo: Lukas Heibges

The exhibition provides an insight into the work of Ute Essig and Henrik U. Müller, who also form a studio community as artists. Ute Essig's Berlin porcelain paving stones as a mural are not only beautiful, but also irritating, because the original granite material is contrasted by the opposite connotation of porcelain: valuable and fragile: Henrik Müller's panel work is a composite work of photography, gold ground and lacquer and captivates with its elegance.

Prochnow would not be Prochnow if he did not once again present a concert of diverse materials, forms and colors. And this in various artistic genres. From the large wall sculpture Kristallo 3 to a series of wall objects, the wooden pictures, the photographs (as pigment prints) and the accompanying screen print. In times of climate crisis and scarcity of resources, the artist has been working for 20 years to realize sustainable art production as a concept.

In numerous work steps, the abstract painting by Bettina Weiß grows layer by layer and is charged with the artist's energy. The colors oscillate from the various depths of the paint application and vibrate into the room. The lightness of these new works literally pops out like jewels that shine particularly brightly against the blue walls.

Painting, Print, Sculpture, Fotografie. Repro O.T. (SC-085), Klaus Steinmann, 1973, Öl auf Leinwand, 60 x 40 cm, Photo: Jürgen Baumann

An emphasis in the gallery program is abstraction, ranging from Geometric Art to Post Minimal Art. Works of recent production by the majority of the gallery artists and selected guests are shown and juxtaposed with some earlier examples from the 1970s. Painting dominates, but other genres can also be found. From sculpture to drawing to the photogram.

Such a birthday, and then at the same time of 2 gallery artists, who both turn 88 years old, is a rare event. This is something to be honored! In the short special exhibition "2 x 88 - Circular Encounter" meet two artworks that are very special and enter into dialogue with each other, where Renate Hampke responds to the recently made paper disc (blue) by Ursula Sax. Minimal and yet powerful!

I love things that disappear, may reappear, and could disappear again. They are so soft and fragile. But They leave a long impression behind. (Quote from a comment on this work by Seungjun Lee)

07.07.2023 – 22.07.2023 Metamorphosis. Amélie von Heydebreck. Painting, Print, Mixed. Repro Moonwalk (Lightpainting), Amélie von Heydebreck, 2023, Pigmentedruck auf Alu-Dibond, 40 x 46,6 cm, Photo: Amélie von Heydebreck

The  technique of haptic-plastic application of the color pigments to aluminum suggests painting, because the pigment clearly becomes a material in its own right and is not merely a mediator or carrier of color. The fact that the artist also specifies painting as light painting is due on the one hand to physics, since color is nothing other than light in a defined wavelength range. It also refers to the process of creation of the works.

30.06.2023 – 02.07.2023 University Of South Australia Bauhaus Tour. led by Michael Kutschbach and Katica Pedisic. Painting, Print, Sculpture, Fotografie, Mixed. Repro BAUHAUS, Michael Kutschbach, 2023, Photography of a cover of the publication BAUAHAUS, Photo: Michael Kutschbach

The UniSA study tour group of architecture and art students from the University of South Australia explores the Bauhaus in Weimar and its impacts until today.

22.04.2023 – 03.06.2023 Intervention XXX-03. (KioskShop berlin (KSb)) Ellinor Euler. Sculpture

Die farbigen Metallgespinste von Ellinor Euler – scheinbar in der Luft schwebend oder liegend – erobern den Raum und bilden einen organischen Kontrapunkt zur nüchternen Kühle und geometrisch-funktionalen Architektur des KioskShop.

22.04.2023 – 03.06.2023 Mutter. MK Kaehne. Painting, Print, Sculpture. Repro O.T. (aus dem Zyklus "Mutter", MK Kaehne, 2015-2019, Mixed Media, Epoxidharz, Ölfarbe, 167 x 147 x 219 cm, Photo: MK Kaehne

The main work, a lifelike nude woman in her prime sitting on her bed, looking at her crotch with a mirror, causes irritation. Especially in the context of the exhibition title and the name of the cycle of works "Mother". Is it the artist's mother or mistress? Or is she representative of the female human race, which is present to us all at least as a mother. Is this verism simply a portrait or an homage?

11.03.2023 – 15.04.2023 Deutsche Landschaften. Stefan Thiel. Painting, Fotografie. Repro Gelbensande, Stefan Thiel, 2018, Öl auf Leinwand, 35 x 43 cm, Photo: Stefan Thiel

At first glance, the landscape paintings by Stefan Thiel seem like romantic testimonies to German (cultural) landscapes. An oppressive feeling can arise during prolonged viewing. Why? Certainly because a 'leaden' heaviness, which cannot be further defined, lies over the picture-pretty motifs. An inkling could arise and it becomes certainty, if one knows about the 'historically poisened' background of these romantically appearing stretches of land.

Starting from his artist's book "In SHAPE" of 2022 with 1000 geometric drawings, which are summarized as a compendium, these in turn serve as a matrix for further series of artworks, which differ in technique and material. From computer-milled relief to lacquer works on Alu-Dibond or fire drawings, they show a wealth of possibilities that spring from Dave Grossmann's analytical system and are also characterized by high craftsmanship. A concert for the senses is generated!

Centrally located in the middle of the room, the large hanging sculpture »Negligé Illuminé« delicately glows into the space. Like a painting from another time - one might think of paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe or Tamara Lempicka from the era of Classical Modernism - the form, reminiscent of a rose blossom hanging upside down, unfolds organically in large, folded sweeps, puffing out.

27.08.2022 – 01.10.2022 Drift. Malerei, Collage und Lichtobjekte. Marc von der Hocht
23.07.2022 – 06.08.2022 innocence. Fotografie. Repro Aus der Serie "Aktstudie Jonathan Buttall", Andreas Fux, 1998/2022, Handabzug auf Barytpapier, seelengetont, 42 x 34,5 cm, Photo: Andreas Fux

"innocence" gathers the protagonists, who capture the naturally appearing self-image of these young people and create beguiling as well as disturbing portraits of men, which 'catches the viewer cold' through their unconcern and innocent naturalness. 

Andreas Fux and his protagonists let us participate in a new generation that presents itself with an undisguised look and also self-confidently demands to live its own life.

Repro Reset to Start, Hitomi Uchikura, Ute Essig, Stefan Thiel, Bettina Weiß und Dittmar Danner aka Krüger, , Photo: Dave Grossmann

Back to the start means something like a new beginning: After the successful fight for the gallery space in the Schröderstraße in Mitte, we bring together all artists with their works. The concert of different artistic positions sums up what the gallery's program is all about: it spans from conceptual abstraction to the narratively symbolic to the supposed image of the human being. »KioskShop berlin (KSb)« is still on view.

In 2021, Michael Kutschbach realised a multi-channel video project on behalf of the Guildhouse in Adelaide, which deals with the collaboration and examination of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra as a differentiated body of sound and organism. The video multi-channel chamber piece is now experiencing its German performance in Berlin.

 

04.09.2021 – 16.10.2021 X : Y – Konstruktion der Moderne (KdM). Die Berliner Sammlung Dr. Carl Theodor Gottlob Grouwet (1919). Semjon H. N. Semjon. Painting, Sculpture, Urban Art, Mixed

Das vielschichtige 'Gesamtkunstwerk' von H. N. Semjon wird nach 11 Jahren wieder der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Der drohende Rauswurf der Galerie durch die Berggruen Holding macht dies notwendig, da die Salonarchitektur von „Konstruktion der Moderne“ von 2010 weitestgehend erhalten ist, und seitdem als Straßen-Salon von Semjon Contemporary genutzt wurde. Der Abbau der Salon-Wände lässt seinen "KioskShop berlin (KSb)" dahinter wieder auferstehen.

04.09.2021 – 22.12.2021 X x X – X Jahre Semjon Contemporary. Jubiläums-Edition.

Painting, Print, Fotografie, Mixed

10 Jahre Semjon Contemporary sind Anlass genug, zurück und auch nach vorne zu schauen. Zum runden Jubläum wird eigens eine Edition in kleiner Auflage gefertigt mit einem Werk von jeder Künstlerin und jedem Künstler. Eine gerahmte Version bildet das Herzstück der Ausstellung.

This exhibition informs with work examples about the more than 70 years of artistic works by Ursula Sax (born 1936). The important German sculptress has worked with all materials. Paper as a sculptural material has become important for her in the 1980ies, 1990ies and since. As with all sculptors paper has been accompanying the artist in her artistic practice since 1949. A book of 520 pages with the same title will be be presented during her exhibition.

22.04.2021 – 14.05.2021 The Cast Whale Project. Der Wal in St. Elisabeth / Offene Kirche St. Elisabeth. Gil Shachar. (Schinkelkirche St. Elisabeth, Invalidenstraße 3, 10115 Berlin) Sculpture. Repro Abnahme der Form vom gestrandeten jungen Buckelwal, Gil Shachar, 2018, Epoxydharz, 14 Länge, Photo: Warrik Mc Leod

Gil Shachar’s large whale will be ‘stranding’ in Berlin. In 2018 Shachar and his local team were able to take a mould of a Humpback Whale in South Africa. The life-size sculpture (14 m length) was cast and assembled in Cape Town, before being shipped to Germany for it’s first appearance at Kunstmuseum Bochum in 2020. As a space St. Elisbeth church is of considerable historical significance, bearing memory of traumatic but also hopeful occurrences, and seems to be the perfect venue.
