Xuan Wang
Juli 2020
Die erste Ausstellung seit der Schließung der Galerie im Rahmen der Corona-Pandemie zeigt unter dem Titel „Documents“ neue Arbeiten des in München ansässigen Malers Xuan Wang.
Die Malerei, gewohnt beeindruckend aufgrund Ihrer technischen Perfektion und ihrer phantasievollen Bildsprache, greift Motive der Europäischen wie der Asiatischen Kunst und -kulturgeschichte auf und kombiniert sie zu komplexen und oft überraschenden Bildräumen und -landschaften. Viel mehr als das phantasievolle Spiel mit diesen Motiven steht aber der inhaltliche Hintergrund der zusammen kombinierten Bildelemente im Vordergrund. So entstehen hoch ästhetische Bilder, welche sich einer eindeutigen, erzählerischen Lesart konsequent verschließen.
Eröffnung Freitag den 24. Juli um 18.00 Uhr
Samstag und Sonntag den 25. und 26. Juli von 11.00 bis 19.00 Uhr

On more than 600 m² of exhibition space, works from the media of painting, graphics, photography and video will be shown. The selection of the works shown by the artists does not attempt to devote itself to monothematic content aspects, ore to follow certain formal aesthetic requirements, but offers a broad overview of our past and upcoming exhibitions.

Hold on to That Paper Again
08. April - 22. Mai 2021 at SAC Gallery Bangkok
SAC Gallery and Ronewa Art Projects present Hold on to That Paper Again, an exhibition of recent works by Swiss-Tibetan artist Tashi Brauen. Opening on April 6, 2021, the solo show brings together two series of works on paper, united by Brauen’s mark-making interventions that master a fine balance between intentional actions and spontaneous forms.
Brauen engages his everyday materials in a back and forth conversation, testing their response to his subtle manipulations. His sculptural approach to paper interrogates the physical quality of its surface and structure. For his Crack series, Brauen paints vibrant color fields that become intersected with the textured lines of the paper’s broken surface as he bends and folds it. Some of these fractures appear like bolts of lightning tearing through the colored surface to the paper beneath, while others are soft creases warping the flat surfaces into a gentle relief.
The Du series was born out of strict coronavirus restrictions in early 2020, where Brauen experimented with materials he found in his Zurich studio. Du magazine has been a leading art and culture periodical in Switzerland since the 1940s. Brauen, who grew up with the magazine and collects it himself, repurposes its pages for his colorful symmetrical print experiments where opaque forms obscure text and image in unique relationships. In this dynamic, the magazine pages are simultaneously cultural artifacts and flat paper surfaces. Brauen’s primitive printing technique calls on the balancing act of control and chance seen across his practice. He sets the parameters of his process and guides his materials with familiarity, though every line or shape is unique and unpredictable.
Brauen’s latest Crack series and selected recent Du works is on view in Bangkok at SAC Gallery from April 6 to May 23, 2021. Ronewa Art projects will present a corresponding online exhibition in the Ronewa online viewing room.
Brauen lives in Zurich, Switzerland, and has exhibited internationally, including solo shows in Zurich, Berlin, Munich, and Bangkok. His practice returns to Bangkok after exhibiting his sculptural paper wall reliefs and photographic studies of paper objects at the Serindia Gallery in 2016. The same year, Brauen created a large-scale sculptural installation at the Embassy of Switzerland in Bangkok. His works are held in private collections worldwide and Swiss public collections, including Canton of Zurich, Canton of Berne, and Wettingen Art Collection.

Stipendium für Bildende Kunst der Stadt München
Laura Leppert:
Die Landeshauptstadt München vergibt jährlich Stipendien für herausragende künstlerische Vorhaben von Kunstschaffende am Beginn der Professionalität. Mit den Stipendien im Bereich Bildende Kunst in Höhe von jeweils 6.000 Euro wurde in diesem Jahr neben fünf weiteren KünstlerInnen Laura Leppert ausgezeichnet.
„Mit ihrem Projekt ‚Possession. An underground Panorama‘ widmet sich Laura Leppert der ‚Vielstimmigkeit‘ des Bodens. Die Medieninstallation setzt sich mit der in der Erde abgelagerten Geschichte auseinander sowie mit dem Abbau der dort enthaltenen Rohstoffe durch den Menschen. Indem Laura Leppert Fragen nach einem neuen Verhältnis des Menschen zum Boden jenseits von Unterwerfung und Ausbeutung aufwirft, berührt sie eine der wesentlichen unsere Zeit bestimmenden Diskussionen und bietet zugleich einen positiven Ausblick auf eine postapokalyptische Zeit.“
Jan Albers, Sol Calero, Dana Greiner, Dominik Halmer, Franziska Reinbothe, Helga Schmidhuber und Claudia Wieser
