Norbert Bisky—Balagan on Bötzow

Balagan is the title of Norbert Bisky’s exhibit of new works, showing at the Atelierhaus from March 27 until August 30. In winter 2014/2015, Bisky swapped ateliers with Israeli painter Erez Israeli, based in Tel Aviv. The artworks created during this time are devoted to urbanity, feelings of impenetrability regarding our real and virtual living environments. The compositions were painted especially for the Atelierhaus on Bötzow. The exhibit, with large-format, intensely colored works as well as a series of small-format works of oil on paper that are being show for the first time in Germany and three pieces from the Sammlung HGN show both sides of this coin—angst and joie de vivre. The exhibit title says it all—Balagan—which can mean confusion and chaos as well as partying and exuberance.
