2008, 7 pm 11/07/08 – 02/07/09
With Peruşan Baba zone B shows current photo-based work dealing with the recovery of the lost aura.
Marc Grümmert and Knut Wolfgang Maron working with experimental, subjective, transcending photographic interpretations of reality.
Reni Spoelstra shows a large charcoal drawing of a real imaginary landscape. The dialogue between drawing and photography makes it clear that the interpretation of the artists more concerned with content and less about the technique in which the works were created.
Antje Dorn - Rare Animals and Numbers
Opening Reception, Friday, September 12, 2008, 7 pm
09/12/08 – 11/03/08
“Rare Animals and Numbers” is the title of the latest work from Antje Dorn and also the title of the next exhibition at zone B (Berlin).
Despite the ever present digital imperialism of numbers in one and zero combinations, and the increasing numbers of cloned creatures from one and the same animal, Antje Dorn gives us a universe of rare animals and analogue, corporeal numerals.

Gosbert Adler - Autos und Fahrer (Cars And Drivers)
Opening Reception, Friday, February 1st, 2008, 7 pm
02/01/08 – 05/10/08
For over three years, Gosbert Adler has been working with the complex themes of cars, mobility, and society. In this solo exhibition, many of his diverse series come together for the first time.
Small-format photographs allow glimpses into the private interiors of parked cars, and draw us into the layerings of the private sphere just as reflections in windows superimpose images of the exterior world. These images centered on the driver-car relationship are intertwined, of course, with the outside world. A dry, concrete-paved river bed, darkening food leftovers, and two glass domes all form elements of the exterior world.
The portraits of the drivers demonstrate the intimacy of people in their private spheres. Introverted, concentrated, relaxed, and seemingly secure in their transparent passenger cars, the drivers exist in fact in a membrane permeable to the outside world. Photos of deformities, dents and well-intended attempts at repair are signs of their damaged exterior shells. In these structural disfigurements, the artist depicts the transformation from design to sculptural object.
Diverse techniques, formats, and materials join together in this exhibition just as reflections do in car windows to become an intricate, tightly-melded system.
Gosbert Adler (1956- ) born in Essen, has lived and worked in Berlin since 1981. His works are in numerous collections, including the Folkwang Museum, Essen, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Berlinische Galerie, Berlin, and the Sprengel Museum, Hanover. He has received numerous awards and prizes including the Grant for Contemporary German Photography from the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach Foundation, the Kulturfond Foundation Grant, the Foundation for Art and Culture of North-Rhine Westphalia Grant, and the Werner Mantz Prize for Photography, Maastricht. From 2002–2007, he was a professor in the Fine Arts Department at the Hochschule Hanover; since 2007, he has been Professor of Photography at the Institute for Fine Arts, Braunschweig.

Eva Bertram - Inseln (Islands)
Opening Reception, Friday, October 19th, 2007, 7 pm
10/19/07 – 01/26/08
The artist presents selections from the complex body of her recent work juxtaposed with equal importance given to all, thereby developing a new semantics from the re-imagined assembly.
“Islands are proxies for paradise as well as penal colonies, idylls as well as prisons, last refuge as well as exile, soft proctors of safety as well as wardens for exclusion. Their realities are steeped in complexity.
For the present state of our human affairs they are therefore the visual metaphor.
The ubiquity of images obscures the fact that being visible is no guarantee of being seen.
Never before have we seen so many, and never before have so many remained unseen in the sea of the visible.
With her images, Ms. Bertram places islands in the sea of our blind spots. The viewer is momentarily rescued from the aesthetic shipwreck of our everyday storm of images – washed up briefly on the shores of the island to notice the invisibles of common visibilities.” Andreas Steffens
The artist is the 2006 recipient of the Grant for Contemporary German Photography from the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach Foundation.

- Kenneth van Sickle, Chet Baker, 1955
Kenneth van Sickle
PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK FROM 1950 – 2008
Opening Reception, Friday, May 16th, 2008, 7 pm
05/16/08 – 09/06/08
From the over fifty-year work of this important New York photographer and filmmaker, a rare intensity and refinement emerge. Kenneth van Sickle (1932- ) is known for his atmospheric images engendered by the eternal bohemia of Paris and New York.
His work is in numerous collections, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the photographic work of this distinguished master, who studied with George Grosz, came early to photography, worked with Robert Frank, and exhibited with Duane Michaels. Images from diverse periods are juxtaposed here: b&w photographs from the 50s, influenced by jazz, are matched with multiple exposures from the 70s, and recent color photos. And so we discover from the currents of time accord arises.
