Anton Henning, born in Berlin in 1964, whose artistic career since the mid-eighties has taken him to Berlin, London and New York, has been based in the countryside above Berlin for over 20 years now. He lives and works there with unabated zest on a work which due to its sheer opulence, complexity and playfulness cannot be classified amongst the common -isms of art criticism.
The self-educated Anton Henning paints, photographs, films, sculpts, draws, makes music, designs and builds whole rooms. He virtually challenges the risk of provoking misunderstandings and polarising them without directly addressing the political side. In the figurative sense he is dismantling the entire history of art up to the present day, in order to completely reconstruct it. A kind of artistic synthesis.

Adolescence, with its assorted baggage of mixed ideals, has a certain naiveté about it.
Looking back at that, which turned us both outward and against everything, we cannot but do it with bemused sympathy. That courage to leap from up high, to play among the gravestones, to pen manifestos on peace and friendship.
Such writings may have been kept secret, hidden for decades in the pages of diaries, and youthful defiance is surely made easier when roaming in bands; the same goes for the ground on which one plays, whose sheer gravity is easily forgotten by youthful distractions. Yet at the time we were quite certain of that, that we were the new. Such are the moments that Latifa Echakhch evokes in her current exhibition, instances of a time elapsed and forgotten.
Carian Hmimar, which translates as “reddish shantytown,” refers to Mediouna, a town in the vicinity of Casablanca, Morocco. A peripheral implant on the city’s outskirts, its children have made the adjacent cemetery into a playground, coming there regularly to play.

Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is delighted to present the group exhibition Eurasia. A View on Painting, which brings together the works of 16 artists across different genres and styles.
In light of this confrontation between various subject matters and approaches, it remains evident how deeply rooted each artist is in his culture, past and present, addressing issues of universal interest. This painting exhibition focuses on the possible junctions and their repercussions from East to West and West to East, spanning from Europe to Asia.
The gallery has invited Norman Rosenthal to work on the concept, the narrative and the installation of this exhibition. In the essay he wrote for the catalogue of the exhibition, he states: “We wish to concentrate the imagination on the landmass Eurasia that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Paris to Shanghai via Berlin, Tehran and Moscow.

Starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones, this is the extraordinary story of one of the world’s greatest living minds, the renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who falls deeply in love with fellow Cambridge student Jane Wilde. Once a healthy, active young man, Hawking received an earth-shattering diagnosis at 21 years of age. With Jane fighting tirelessly by his side, Stephen embarks on his most ambitious scientific work, studying the very thing he now has precious little of – time. Together, they defy impossible odds, breaking new ground in medicine and science, and achieving more than they could ever have dreamed.
The film is based on the memoir “Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen,” by Jane Hawking, and is directed by Academy Award winner James Marsh (“Man on Wire”).
