C/O Berlin // Danny Lyon: Message to the Future
16th September – 3rd December 2017
Interested in groups and subcultures considered to be on the margins of society, Danny Lyon helped to shape in the 60s the history of American photography with realism and freedom. In 1963 the photographer was only 21 years old when he registered the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Since then, alongside other images of the civil rights movement in USA, Lyon photographed the life inside Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club (“The Bikeriders”, 1966) and he was the first to reveal the routine of inmates and guards in Texan prisons (“Conversations with the Dead”, 1967/68). Not by chance, his work influenced artists like Larry Clark and Nan Goldin. The exhibition Danny Lyon . Message to the Future is curated by Julian Cox and organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. It showcases more than 175 works, including films, collages, and materials from the photographer’s private archive. C/O Berlin is the first institution in Germany to present this retrospective.

Raum für drastische Maßnahmen // Kirsten Heuschen: Circle Songs
22nd September – 1st October 2017
The central theme of Circle Songs is to explore and to extend the scope of chemigrams by combining them with several décollage techniques. The artist Kirsten Heuschen uses cyanotype emulsion to paint directly onto the colored papers, which react with the photo chemistry, in an irreversible process. The result is unique: each chemigram has a particular range of colors and shades. To pay attention: the set designer Ivana Vukovic created an “unorthodox” way to display Heuschen works. Curious? Me too! Plus: the visitors would be able to take part in an open lab and carry out material experiments together with the artist.

Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg // Pure Gold. Upcycled! Upgraded!
15th September 2017 – 21st January 2018
The term „Upcycling“ was first used in 1998 as a kind of translation of „Upsizing“ ( the opposite of downsizing), the title of a book by Gunter Pauli, initiator of The Blue Economy. But the concept of creative reuse became popular through William McDonough and Michael Braungart in their book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things (2002) and then The Upcycle (2013). Now, already spread in fashion, architecture and design, it is the theme of the new exhibition at MK&G, in Hamburg. The exhibition presents approximately 75 objects created from materials considered waste or scrap. Pure Gold is divided in two sections: an European, with around 40 works; and non-European, with 35 works from countries like Brazil, Egypt, China, Zimbabwe, and Thailand. Organized by the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa), the show will tour internationally. Extra tip: The ticket allows visitors to see all the currently exhibithions at MK&G. So, go with time and have a look also at “Food Revolution 5.0”, until 29th October, und “Keith Haring. Posters”, until 5th November.
