Gao Hang

In the realm of contemporary art, the act of appropriation serves not only as a bridge between the past and the present but also as a reflective surface for societal desires and collective memory. Our "Sticker Album" group show, delves into this intricate dialogue through a unique lens—historic stickers, emblems of soccer's illustrious legacy and a testament to the universal penchant for collecting.

In "You See? You are also simulated.," the artist's oeuvre serves as a navigational chart through the intricate layers of reality and simulation, exploring the porous boundaries between digital experiences and the tangible world. Born in 1991 in Baoding, China, and now residing in Houston, USA, Gao Hang has crafted a unique pictorial language that draws from a rich tapestry of influences, from traditional Chinese oil painting to the avant-garde experimentation afforded by his transnational experience. His masterful use of airbrush technique evokes a digital smoothness, questioning the relentless pursuit of high definition in our digital age.

Schöne blonde Locken, ein graziler Frauenakt und eine mythische Jakobsmuschel - Mitte der 1480er Jahre veränderte der italienische Künstler Sandro Botticelli die Kunstwelt mit seinem Tempera-Meisterwerk Die Geburt der Venus. Sein Kunstwerk der italienischen Renaissance setzte neue Maßstäbe für die bildende Kunst und inspirierte in den folgenden Jahrhunderten Künstler auf der ganzen Welt.

Fast 540 Jahre später werfen einige der aktuell meistbesprochenen zeitgenössischen KünstlerInnen in (Re)Birth of Venus - Renaissance Painting 2.0 einen tieferen Blick auf Botticellis Meisterwerk und interpretieren den mythischen Moment der Ankunft der Göttin an Land neu. Als Teil eines Renaissance-Revivals in der heutigen Zeit verschmelzen in dieser Ausstellung Malerei, Bildhauerei, Kunsthandwerk und Street Art miteinander.
