ANNA FASSHAUER
Die Große Gartenschau. Schwammerl suchen in der Uckermark
13 September — 15 October 2017
On the occasion of this year’s ART BERLIN / BERLIN ART WEEK, we would like to invite you to a show of outdoor sculptures by ANNA FASSHAUER in the Uckermark, located in the north-east of Berlin.
The GROSSE GARTEN (GREAT GARDEN) in Gerswalde is a terraced garden with courtyard and garden buildings, originally laid out by the von Arnim’s during the period of German classicism. It has gone through different stages of overgrowing and recultivation and for the past three years film director Lola Randl and her family have been sustainably rebuilding it, piece by piece.
Also located in Gerswalde are the excellent café/restaurant ZUM LÖWEN of Ayumi Saito, offering vegan cakes and Japanese snacks as well as a changing menu of warm dishes, and the country smokehouse GLUT UND SPÄNE.
ANNA FASSHAUER masters with her own hands the medium and the production process like only a few other contemporary artists. The sculptures directly evolve during the working process with the material. The physicality of this working method appears subversive in the all-consuming maelstrom of neo-liberal efficiency and profit maximisation. “If there’s anything the last quarter century has made evident for art, it’s that objecthood was never a subject that could be left behind. Where one might say that theoretical discourse on the subject certainly waned in the last decade before the new millennium, it’s become pertinent today to recognize the role novel interpretations of the object are having on contemporary art practices. And perhaps as a result of such an abundance of novel theory, the art object remains as inexhaustible and baffling as ever.” [Marc Leblanc in “On Anna Fasshauer”]
