Anywhere - Thomas Wrede
Landscapes as projection screens for desires are the overarching theme of the German photographic artist Thomas Wrede (*1963, Lethmate). Since the late 1990s the artist has in various photographic series delved into our – still rather romantically characterised - desire to experience nature. He further questions the truth value and the messages of media images, which are surround us everywhere and at the same time form the visual basis for such desires.
Galerie Wagner + Partner is excited to be able to present the next instalment of the series “Real Landscapes” through new works by the artist. The works display...

Selbstvergessenheit - Miklos Gaál
The exhibition title refers to the mental state of immersion, void of directed and intentional thought but being open to the surroundings as an undifferentiated whole. Selbstvergessenheit affirms the possibility of enjoying events unexplained.

The exhibition is a collection of singular works from recent years including photographic prints, a hand printed artist book, a slide show and a silkscreen series that make up a playground in which the viewer’s relationship to photography is placed in the foreground...

Raïssa Venables and Eckart Hahn at Scope Basel
The photographer, Raïssa Venables (born 1977), and the painter, Eckart Hahn (born 1971), both work with different emotional as well as psychic qualities of space. Venables creates spaces for retrospection and sentience through her collage technique and expressive use of colour, whereby photography is used as an artistic medium in the painterly sense. Hahn, by contrast, paints almost photo-realistically in the finest acrylics, and yet his presentations of space and identity, too, are constructions that generate a confusing and at times bizarre emotional game.

Natascha Stellmach: It is Black in Here
On the occasion of the exhibition at Fotogalerie Wien Austria, Gallery Wagner + Partner launches the new publication of Natascha Stellmach: It is Black in Here.
