Vernissage / Sexauer Gallery
Friday 27th November – 6pm until 9pm
Ornella Fieres’s breathtaking photographs toy with the senses and tickle the mind through a complex constellation of material practices and conceptual exercises. Capturing images of real objects and digital replicas, employing the tools of post-production manipulation on occasion, and forever weaving between the actual and the imaginary, Fieres`s photographs are a sensuous lure into a world of questions, each more engaging than the last.

Vernissage / Hamburger Bahnhof
Friday 27th November – 7pm
Hamburger Bahnhof is known for a rigorous exhibition schedule featuring some of the art world’s leading lights; the Christian Flick collection housed in the storied institution on a permanent basis, on the other hand, is something of a hidden treasure…but not for long. This Friday night, the survey show A Few Free Years highlights gems from the 268-piece collection donated by Friedrich Christian Flick, including works by Paul McCarthy, Cindy Sherman, Richard Jackson, Dieter Roth, Marcel Broodthaers, and Wolfgang Tillmans, among many, many more.
