Posted on 2024-02-26

Carla Nowak, a dedicated sports and math teacher, starts her first job at a high school. She stands out among the new staff because of her idealism. When a series of thefts occur at the school and one of her students is suspected, she decides to get to the bottom of the matter on her own. Carla tries to mediate between outraged parents, opinionated colleagues and aggressive students, but is relentlessly confronted with the structures of the school system. The more desperately she tries to do everything right, the more the young teacher threatens to break.

HELEN GLAZER – WALKING IN ANTARCTICA

Posted on 2024-02-26

In 2015, artist Helen Glazer traveled to Antarctica as a grantee of the National Science Foundation’s Antarctic Artists and Writers Program, in order to photograph ice and geological formations for eventual production as photographic prints and sculpture. She worked out of remote Antarctic scientific field camps and had access to protected areas that can only be entered with government permits or in the company of a skilled mountaineer.

Inspired and informed by her experiences, Walking in Antarctica is an immersive, interdisciplinary exhibition bringing together photography, sculpture, and audio narrative to take the viewer on a journey through an extraordinary environment of remote places that the tourist ships do not reach and few people get to witness in person. The exhibition is organized as a series of “walks” through remarkable Antarctic landscapes: over frozen lakes, around towering glaciers and baroque sea ice formations, into a magnificent frozen ice cave, across fields of surreal-looking boulders, and through a lively colony of nesting Adélie penguins. Visitors to the exhibition who have smartphones will be able to access an audio tour narrated by Glazer, drawn from a blog in which she recorded her experiences.

Exhibition runs through to March 16th, 2024

PETER FRIE – THE VIEW BELONGS TO EVERYONE

Posted on 2024-02-26

Peter Frie presents his latest small-scale oil paintings and bronze sculptures in his new exhibition. Frie’s timeless landscapes have an experiential resonance to which everyone can relate. His canvases present nameless scenes that remind us of places we know or foreign lands we have visited, or they might equally represent landscapes within ourselves. They also possess a metaphorical universality that transcends the
physical location.
Frie paints only from memory, never by replicating real landscapes. Nevertheless, his works are rooted in the landscape tradition, particularly the Symbolist aesthetic of using landscapes to express abstract concepts such as mental states and memories, and the romantic tradition of imbuing scenery with a powerful emotive presence. The small size and the white frame enclosing the picture plane highlights the limits of
experience inviting us to picture the landscape that extends beyond the picture frame. The dark-hued sculptures are like three-dimensional negatives of the paintings, or gateways that lead us deeper inside their mystical world.
