Since years, there is a lively arts and cultural exchange between artists from New York and Berlin. Initiators and organizers were originally the artist groups Across the Bridge and the Werketage e.V. Over time, a core of women crystallized. They have organized group exhibitions at home and abroad.
In the Berlin edition of Salon des Femmes, 7 artists from Berlin and New York exhibit together. Salon des Femmes was launched in 2008 to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Galería Galou, New York. The original Salon des Femmes was a two women show featuring Nancy Saleme and Uli Brahmst.
Brahmst’s and Saleme’s work interconnects at many level; They both share a distinctly feminine visual vocabulary in their search for a balance between delicacy and power. The two artists experiment with elements of mystery, intimacy and playfulness.
The Salon des Femmes Berlin edition includes artists from New York: Uli Brahmst (Across The Bridge/Galería Galou), Patricia Cazorla (Galería Galou), Susan Hoeltzel (Lehman College Art Gallery), Nancy Saleme (Galería Galou/Across The Bridge). From Berlin: Esther Fritzsche (Werketage e.V), Denise Sheila Puri (Gallery R31) and Annette Stieger (Werketage e.V). The three Berlin artists share the love for stage production whether it is on canvas, paper or in architectural spaces. Their visual language moves between cozy and brittle without necessarily being specificly female.
Together, the seven artists are going to transform the gallery R31 into a Salon des Femmes, a space between room installation, staging and exhibition.
