live within us.

language as a moral medium
language as a moral medium
an exhibition of conceptual books, kinetic poetry, and other interventions
what happens when we don't have the language to describe our experiences? or have other’s experiences communicated to us? what are we to do when our experiences don’t fit into our words? our books? our bindings? what is a book when its pages are unbound? what does a binding do to the stories being bound? what happens when words are no longer fixed, instead moving around and through pages? or when a book unfolds in different directions, instructing the reader how to constantly reorient themselves to it and its content?
'language as a moral medium' presents a selection of ten unique, conceptual, haptic, kinetic books that delve deep into the possibilities of what book can be, what being book can mean, and what can be said when language is freed from the binds of convention.

“ ARE YOU ALRIOT ? “ by RIOT1394
RIOT1394 was born in West Austria in 1988. He lives and works as an Artist and Illustrator in Berlin since 2009. His style is a vibrant mix of graffiti, comix ,fine art and lowbrow art. His inspirations are endless and the details countless.
Welcome to his exhibition “ ARE YOU ALRIOT ? “ at retramp gallery.
For this show the Artist plays with a lot of different techniques and colors. Sometimes the work and the motif was planned before and sometimes he likes to play around spontaneously and freestyle. Lots of his works are rather drawn than painted, however with some artworks he tries to blend the line. RIOT1394 loves the strong contrasts between colors, forms, and lines, with both figurative and abstract elements. The use of light and shadow is very present and important for him in his works. Never too serious but always with lots to see, interpret and think about. His goal is that his works should look like a mix of hard work and fun.

Durchscheinende Blicke
Retramp präsentiert eine neue Serie von Gemälde von Paula Carralero
Bierzynska, die sich mit dem Durscheinenden beschäftigt. Die Gemälde wurden im
Hinterhof von St. Hedwig-Krankenhaus Richtung Auguststr. vor Ort gezeichnet und
demnächst mit lasierender Ölfarbe in ihrem Atelier weiter gemalt. Sie überlappt in
einem Gemälde unterschiedliche Perspektiven vom gleichen Ort. Die Malschichten und
Lasuren fließen in einander, so dass die Konturen nicht mehr so klar definiert sind und
abstrakter werden. Eine Arbeit wird auch mittig im Raum präsentiert, so dass das Licht
durchscheint. Die Aquarelle, worauf die Bilder basiert sind, werden auch zum ersten
Mal gezeigt.

BERLIN Stillgelegt
Fotografie von Kevin Schulzbus
Die Fotoausstellung von Kevin Schulzbus präsentiert analoge und digitale Fotografien, die über einige Jahre in Berlin entstanden sind. Der waschechte Berliner Fotograf und Videograf schreibt folgende Worte zu „BERLIN Stillgelegt“: „Freiraum. Was ist Raum. Raum in der Stadt.
Freier Raum. Der nicht genutzt wird. Stillgelegter, alter, ungenutzte Raum. Flächen, die brachliegen. Verwahrlost. Unnütz. Und doch so schön. Ich liebe diese Plätze, die immer weniger in Berlin werden. Auf meinen unzähligen Kilometern zu Fuß durch Berlin, habe ich über 25 Jahre eine große Sammlung dieser Un-Orte, Nicht-Plätze und Frei-Räume gesammelt. Stillgelegte, vergessene Ort, die auf ihre Weise so wunderbar eintönig und doch abwechslungsreich sind, dass man sie unbedingt nicht in Vergessenheit geraten lassen darf.“ Kevin Schulzbus und Kiezreport 6de.de
Foto-und Videoausstellung von Hannes Jahreis des Straßenkünstlers
„! @SeX#─────██████████════█ -_- .“
Seit 1995 fühlt sich der Berliner Straßenkünstler
"! @SeX#─────██████████════█ -_- .“
berufen, mit Pinsel und Farbe Zeichen im Berliner Stadtraum zu hinterlassen. Die bisher mehr temporäre Begebenheiten sollen zukünftig dauerhafter im Stadtbild erscheinen. Seine Zeichen bringt er meist an herumstehenden Müll, Sperrmüll, Baustellen oder auf Plakaten an und schafft in der Stille, was nur im Chaos funktioniert. Viele kennen vielleicht die gepinselte 6, eine 6estaltung, bestehend auch aus EINER Linie, welche auch zu seiner Computertechnik keySstroke passt.
Hierbei geht es um die technische Möglichkeit, mit EINER Aktion auf 2 benachbarten Tasten eine oder mehr Webseiten zu öffnen oder auch noch Texteingaben zu tätigen.
Die Ausstellung zeigt eine dokumentarische Serie seiner Arbeit, interpretiert von Hannes Jahreis durch Video und schwarz-weiß Fotografie und gibt uns einen kleinen Einblick in seine Streifzüge und sein Schaffen.

BERLIN Stillgelegt
Photography by Kevin Schulzbus
The photo exhibition by Kevin Schulzbus presents analog and digital photographs taken over several years in Berlin. The genuine Berlin photographer and videographer writes the following words about "BERLIN Stillgelegt": "Free space. What is space. Space in the city.
Free space. That is not used. Disused, old, unused space. Areas that lie fallow. Neglected. Useless. And yet so beautiful. I love these places, which are becoming fewer and fewer in Berlin. On my countless kilometers by foot through Berlin, I have collected a large collection of these un-places, non-places and open spaces over 25 years. Disused, forgotten places that are so wonderfully monotonous and yet varied in their own way that you absolutely must not let them fall into oblivion."

Photo and video exhibition by Hannes Jahreis of the street artist "!
"@SeX#─────██████████════█ -_- .“
Since 1995, the Berlin street artist !
"@SeX#─────██████████════█ -_- .“
has felt called upon to leave his mark on Berlin's urban space with brush and paint. In the future, the previously more temporary events are to appear more permanently in the cityscape. He usually applies his signs to garbage, bulky waste, building sites or posters and creates in silence what only works in chaos. Many of you may be familiar with the painted 6, a 6-lettering consisting of ONE line, which also fits in with his keySstroke computer technology. This is about the technical possibility of opening one or more websites or entering text with ONE action on 2 adjacent keys. The exhibition shows a documentary series of his work, interpreted by Hannes Jahreis through video and black and white photography and gives us a small insight into his forays and his creations.

Über die Künstler
Kevin Schulzbus, 1984 in Berlin geboren, gehört zu den aktivsten, urbanen Fotografen der Hauptstadt. Mal mehr, mal weniger auf, über und unter den Straßen Berlins unterwegs, führen ihn seine Wege automatisch zu seinen Motiven. Durch das Freilegen der unterschiedlichen Schichten, die die Großstadt mit sich bringt, zeigt Kevin das wahre Gesicht von Berlin und seinen Charakteren. Künstler, Menschen auf und von der Straße, Freunde, oder zufällige Bekanntschaften posieren gekonnt, manche auch ungekonnt vor der Linse des Fotografen. Situationen, Zufälle und Begebenheiten, die nicht gerade alltäglich sind, formen die dokumentarischen Arbeiten und prägen die Stile, die sich Kevin über die Jahre angeeignet hat.
Hannes Jahreis ist gerne nachts in den Straßen von Berlin mit seiner Kamera unterwegs.
About the artists
Kevin Schulzbus, born in Berlin in 1984, is one of the capital's most active urban photographers. Sometimes more, sometimes less on, above and below the streets of Berlin, his paths automatically lead him to his motifs. By exposing the different layers that the big city brings with it, Kevin shows the true face of Berlin and its characters. Artists, people on and off the street, friends or chance acquaintances pose skillfully, some unskillfully, in front of the photographer's lens. Situations, coincidences and events that are not exactly everyday occurrences shape the documentary works and characterize the styles that Kevin has acquired over the years.
Hannes Jahreis likes to walk the streets of Berlin at night with his camera.

Book launch for 'Midlands' by James Harris
In the early 2010s, waves of English-speaking comedians came to Berlin. What were they doing there? Now there’s a novel about them; about Anglophone comedians touring Germany, about expats and Germans, and about the weird excitement of the Germany of that time. ‘Midlands’ is a coming of age story about two interlinked lives, about love, loss and above all a love letter to the possibilities that Berlin allowed a generation of artists.
The evening will feature a curated discussion about the book with Berlin comedy legends Paul Salamone and Chris Davis, and the author will read extracts from the book.
Entrance is free and books €10. The books are provided with ten beautiful illustrations by London-based artist Ke Zuo.
James Harris is a writer and comedian from Nottingham, England. He has written for The Spectator, The New European, Conservative Home and writes regularly for The Critic. He writes the popular ‘Stiff Upper Quip’ Substack. ‘Midlands’ is his first novel; he lives in Brussels.

and a collaborative performance/installation with ANASTAVE
remnants and remedies:
is an exploration of the body and the mind’s relationship to environment, trauma, time, and phantasmagoria. this collection of work uses medium as both the means of the work, but also as metaphor; with each grain of charcoal or graphite functioning as a placeholder for an ambiguous moment in time
— now or then or hereafter.
the figures of the drawing and painting compositions are both here and not here, inside and outside simultaneously
— with a sense of conflict and confusion.
what are the figures engaged with each other about?
are they the same figure in transformation?
where are they?
what has happened?
often, this is the psychic space of trauma. the work concerns itself with this space.
moving inside, through, and outside variable mediums; this body of work also approaches installation, with the collaboration of Anastave. the piece, RESIDUAL MOVEMENT consists of film and a time-based generated sonic landscape via drawing. our bodies respond to one another, the space, and in doing so also create an environment of both visual and sonic residue. the residues remain in the space after the performance to comprise a site-specific installation for the duration of the show.
this work asks how interpersonal relationships in the present are indelibly affected by the sediment of the past.
return the earth and the earth / will return you / depth of vision of field of dream / shake in the wait of
what / putrid paradigm to crumble and / creak the weeds through that concrete / medicine for the /
consequences of / narratives my life’s prior lives told, told/ and told, all told, I too could wait forever /
if it meant forever would come

KOMIYA creates works which reconsider norms in music using variety of methods, including musical notation, artificial voice, and media performance.
In his new work, titled "And then, O-ren Knew 'twas a Song", Komiya presents the piece in which artificial and human voices and words interfere mutually to create a new song. He also presents his previous work "VOX-AUTOPOIESIS," in which the score is automatically generated by voice.

lasciare - palermo fassadenfragmente
bilderserie über die poesie von patina von richard ollig/mocoro
Opening Fr 01/03 Open SA 02/03 SO 03/03
18-22 15-20 15-18
Die Ausstellungsbilder von lasciare – Palermo Fassadenfragmente basieren auf einer Foto- Serie, die Teil eines fotografischen Langzeitprojekts von Beobachtungen im urbanen Raum des centro storico, den historischen Stadtvierteln von Palermo/ Sizilien ist.
Die Bilder sind ein architektonisch-archäologischer Blick auf den patinösen Zustand der gesamten Altstadt Palermos. Sie dokumentieren die Überlagerung von vielfältigen Geschichtsspuren und den langsamen aber stetigen Prozess der Transformation in Palermos Zeitenwende der Nullerjahre.
In den Narben und Löchern der Fassaden fängt sich der starke Kontrast des Spiels von Lichteinfall und langen Schattenwürfen, das Fehlende wird durch den Schatten ersetzt und wieder lebendig gemacht. Bildprägendes Element sind filigrane metallene Balkongeländer.
Basis für die Werke bilden Diapositive als informative Bildträger - ein manueller Bearbeitungsprozess transferiert Digital-Ausdrucke dieser Bilder mittels einer Frescotechnik auf handgeschöpften Büttenkarton mit Putzbeschichtungen – die Weiterbearbeitung mit Mischtechniken erzeugt eine ganz eigene Poesie.
Die Palermo Fassadenfragmente sind Schichtdicke Fassadenstücke, sie erscheinen wie rausgegriffen aus dem Mauerwerk der Gebäude.
lasciare - palermo facade fragments
series of images about the poetry of patina by richard ollig/mocoro
The exhibition images of lasciare - Palermo Façade fragments are based on a photo series that is part of a long-term photographic project of observations in the urban space of the centro storico, the historic districts of Palermo, Sicily.
The pictures are an architectural-archaeological view of the patina-like state of the entire old town of Palermo. They document the superimposition of diverse traces of history and the slow but steady process of transformation in Palermo's turn of the noughties.
The scars and holes in the façades capture the stark contrast of the interplay between the incidence of light and the long shadows cast; what is missing is replaced by the shadow and brought back to life. Filigree metal balcony railings are a defining element of the picture.
The works are based on slides as informative image carriers - a manual editing process transfers digital prints of these images using a fresco technique onto handmade cardboard with plaster coatings - the further processing with mixed techniques creates a very unique poetry.
The Palermo façade fragments are layer-thick façade pieces, they appear to have been taken out of the masonry of the buildings.

Splitter Icons by Felix Rodriguez
Felix Rodriguez
Swedish artist and musician in the band The Sounds.
With just a hammer, he creates portraits on broken glass.
For the first time, his exhibition Splitter Icons is coming to Berlin.
About
With over 25 years active in one of Sweden's biggest bands, The Sounds,
toured the world several times, Felix has always found new creative projects.
Art is something that was always present when he created music.
Recently, art has become more prominent, and the focus is on creating stories
through paintings, instead of music.
The years as a musician have made a clear impression on Felix's art, which you can now see
in his portrait in broken glass, created with a hammer.
The exhibition Splitter Icons portrays musical icons in a personal way,
where both vulnerability and shattered dreams take place.
Now his works are coming to Berlin for the first time.
- Artists often have something broken inside.
A searching soul that with the help of sound and words
creating magic for all of us to share in.
What I want to convey is a story with a focus on the people behind the music.
A tribute and a thank you to what they have achieved over the years / Felix Rodriguez

15th 17:00 - 20:00 Soft opening
16th 16:00 - 22:00 Main Opening
17th 12:00 - 20:00 Day opening and Closing
A group exhibition of various artists from Statt Lab, a 100 member art community and Verein.
Exploring the theme of "Transitions" as a topic amongst the artists at the Lab relates to dealing with the current real estate developments unfolding in Berlin.
After nearly 10 years in the same space, the Lab members will relocate for the second time, to a disused supermarket in Wedding, Berlin.
With a great opportunity to move to a more secure and contained location, Lab members have spent countless hours developing a vision for the new space, demonstrating the creative power of collaboration.
This exhibition is a showcase of the artists who put their life energy into the Lab, giving a little insight into the variety and talent amongst this group.
Their work shown collectively is a celebration of transition, change and diversity. Statt Lab remains completely independent, continuing to expand and support artists and makers from all over the world.

Die Ausstellung „Motherhood II/ Shifting Realities“, stellt die zweite Ausstellung aus einer Ausstellungsreihe rund um das Thema Mutterschaft und Frau - Sein dar. Ziel der Ausstellung ist es, Mythen um männliche und weibliche Zuschreibungen zu hinterfragen und zu dekonstruieren.
Organisiert und kuratiert wird das Projekt von der IntAkt – Internationale Aktionsgemeinschaft bildender Künstlerinnen, Wien – in Zusammenarbeit mit dem HilbertRaum, sowie der Retramp Gallery, zwei Projekträumen für zeitgenössische Kunst in Berlin Neukölln. Hannah van Ginkel kuratierte als Mitglied des HilbertRaum 2023 bereits „Motherhood I / Concepts of Motherhood“, die aktuelle Ausstellung stellt eine unerlässliche Erweiterung dar.
In „Motherhood II / Shifting Realities“ sind generationsübergreifende und historische Themen rund um Mutterschaft in den Fokus gerückt. Des Weiteren werden gesellschaftlich höchst relevante Perspektiven wie queer feministische und sozialpolitische Positionen gezeigt, um damit einen stärker intersektionalen Blick auf das Thema zu lenken. Die Ausstellung weist zusätzlich auf gesellschaftliche Strukturen hin, die es Künstler*innen – Müttern wie Nicht-Müttern – erschwert, sich am Kunstmarkt einen Namen zu machen.
Zur Vernissage am Freitag, den 26.01.2024 findet die Lesung „Mutter kocht Suppe“ von Lena Kothgasser-Haider um 19:00 Uhr in der Retramp Gallery statt. Eine Künstlerinnenführung gibt es am Samstag, 28.01.2024 von 15:00 – 17:00 Uhr Treffpunkt ist im Hilbertraum. Zur Finissage am Sonntag, den 04.02.2024 von 14:00 – 19:00 Uhr zeigt von Tanja Ritterbex um 17:00 Uhr im HilbertRaum die Performance „How I Apply My Products“.
Das Motherhood Team wird parallel zur Ausstellung in Kooperation mit „Procreate Project“(London) Arbeiten von internationalen
Künstlerinnen im öffentlichen Raum auf Plakatwänden zeigen. Diese werden in der vom HilbertRaum und der Retramp Gallery benachbarten Manitiusstraße und Fuldastraße in Berlin, Neukölln zu sehen sein (Manitiusstraße 13 und Fuldastraße 53, 12047 Neukölln, Berlin). Zu sehne vom 22.1.2024 - 4.2.2024. Procreate Project ist ein wachsendes Archiv internationaler Künstlerinnen, die Mütter/ Eltern sind. https://archive.procreateproject.com/archive/
Am Samstag, den 10.12.2024 um 12:00 Uhr findet eine internationale Online-Konferenz der IntAkt mit verschiedenen anderen Netzwerken zum Thema Mutterschaft statt. Teilnehmende sind unter anderem Dyana Gravina von „Procreate Project“ (London), Marcia Breuer Gründerin von „Mehr Mütter für die Kunst“ (Hamburg), Ruchika Wason Singh(Indien) von A.M.M.A.A. (the first platform to focus on mother artists in Asia) Len-Len und Illyang Montenegro von the O Home (Philippinen), Ines Doleschal und Rachel Kohn von „Fair Share“ (Berlin), sowie die internationale Performance Plattform S MOM.

Text: Agnes Rossa
The exhibition "Motherhood II / Shifting Realities" is the second in a series of exhibitions about motherhood and being a woman. The aim of the exhibition is to question and deconstruct myths surrounding male and female attributions. The project is organized and curated by IntAkt - Internationale Aktionsgemeinschaft bildender Künstlerinnen, Vienna - in collaboration with HilbertRaum and Retramp Gallery, two project spaces for contemporary art in Berlin Neukölln. As a member of HilbertRaum, Hannah van Ginkel already curated "Motherhood I / Concepts of Motherhood" in 2023 and the current exhibition is an essential extension.
In "Motherhood II / Shifting Realities", the focus is on intergenerational and historical themes relating to motherhood. Furthermore, socially highly relevant perspectives such as queer feminist and socio-political positions are shown to direct a more intersectional view of the topic. The exhibition also draws attention to social structures that make it difficult for artists - both mothers and non-mothers - to make a name for themselves on the art market.
The vernissage on Friday, 26.01.2024 will be accompanied by the reading "Mutter kocht Suppe" by Lena Kothgasser-Haider at 19:00 in the Retramp Gallery. There will be an artist tour on Saturday, 28.01.2024 from 15:00 - 17:00 Meeting point is in the Hilbertraum. For the finissage on Sunday, 04.02.2024 from 14:00 - 19:00, Tanja Ritterbex will show the performance "How I Apply My Products" at 17:00 in the HilbertRaum.
Parallel to the exhibition, the Motherhood Team will be showing works by international female artists in public spaces on billboards in cooperation with "Procreate Project". Procreate Project is a growing archive of international artists who are mothers/parents. The posters will be shown as a large poster twice in the city, the locations are Manitiusstraße and Fuldastraße (Manitiusstraße 13 and Fuldastraße 53, 12047 Neukölln.

Othello - Typoésie / Yuma Suzu
Influenced by graffiti culture on one hand and graphic design on the other, the two artists create their works from a divergent approach.
The "Othello" exhibition thus unites two different styles: Suzu Yuma's organic lettering, born out of a process akin to ikebana, and the visual poetry by Typoésie, which takes a new visual approach when burned into thermal paper.

This recent body of work is the continuation of artistic practice along the themes of; colour, physicality and self.
Half the works are of semi-abstract flowers - as a counter to the usual pure abstraction.
The titles of many works have densely loaded emotional topics such as “17 Days Of Mania Followed By 4 Days Of Emptiness” and “Asking You To Tell Me That You Love Me First, So That I Know It’s Not A Reflex”. By keeping a diary, I was able to name the paintings based on what I had written for that day. Sometimes my thoughts appear as signs or poems, making it easy to find lines that resonate and reflect the works. Sometimes the words/title came first, sometimes the act of painting.
One research project “Drawing Flowers Every Day - April/May” was where I would find flowers outside to digitally draw. Some of these were then adapted to physical paintings. Originally I had intended to draw “bad” flowers, but I was enjoying this process too much, and instead started to draw without intention of “good” or “bad”.
Repetitive movements along with my personal relationship to colour can be seen in the Horizontal Lines series.
Small explorations into cloud-like abstraction can be seen in the Colourscapes series.
Finally, as a way to have less control, I would lie on my back on the ground and paint with a 2 meter stick on the wall.
