Lena Henke, The definition of motherhood in our culture is one in which the mother sacrifices herself to the child. She sacrifices herself. Her self is lost. The child becomes the center of her life; the child's needs are placed before her needs, until often, she lives in her child, through her child, placing her spirit in the child's body, until the merging of her self with the child is complete., 2022

Galerie Thomas Schulte is pleased to present a group exhibition bringing artists from the gallery’s program since its establishment in the early 1990s together with newer positions in its recently opened space at Mercator-Höfe on Potsdamer Straße. Everything but the Kitchen Sink takes an expanded view. It describes an approach: one that is comprehensive, yet open to further elaboration. The exhibition features works by nine artists, produced from the late ‘80s to today, across a variety of media and materials. Shared among them is a certain inclination towards embellishment, even as they remain rooted in ubiquity and the everyday. Together, they invite reflection on the intricacies of an object’s relationship to its meaning – an interplay between an apparent matter-of-factness and what it might serve to obscure.

Opening Friday, 15 November 2024
From 6 pm
