Gallery Baton is pleased to present David O'Kane, Koen van den Broek and Bin Woo Hyuk
for the first Gallery Viewer exhibition of Art Brussels.

This triad of artists is united by a commitment to the process of painting.

‘The Epiphenomenal Magic Lantern Show’

An exhibition of artwork by David, Edward & Joanna O’Kane inspired by the life, times and writing of Flann O’Brien (aka Brian Ó Nualláin).

O’Brien was born in Strabane in county Tyrone on the 5th of October 1911 and died in Dublin on April Fools’ Day 1966. He was a novelist, playwright, satirist, columnist and civil servant. O’Brien’s English language novels, such as ‘At Swim-Two Birds’ and his masterpiece ‘The Third Policeman’, were written under the pseudonym Flann O'Brien.

His long running satirical column in The Irish Times newspaper and an Irish language novel ‘An Béal Bocht' were written under the pen-name Myles na gCopaleen. In recent years, and especially since the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2011, he has come to be recognised as a major figure in twentieth century Irish literature and a precursor or early exponent of Postmodernism. His life and literary endeavours have been celebrated and examined at biennial conferences since 2011, which have been hosted at universities in Vienna, Rome, Prague and Salzburg. The next conference will be hosted by Trinity College Dublin in 2019.

A unique immersive video and art installation experience created by artists David, Edward and Joanna O’Kane.
Featuring an original typescript of 'The Third Policeman' by Flann O'Brien.

‘MdbK meets G2’ (Painting from Leipzig since 2000)

5th July – 25th November 2018

Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig

Katharinenstraße 10

04109 Leipzig

Germany




David O'Kane, Henriette Grahnert, Rosa Loy, Jochen Plogsties, Neo Rauch, Johannes Rochhausen,
Hans Aichinger, Tilo Baumgärtel, Sebastian Gögel, Paule Hammer, Franziska Holstein, Aris Kalaizis, Martin Kobe,
Christoph Ruckhäberle, Rigo Schmidt, Matthias Weischer, Katrin Heichel, Julius Hofmann, Uwe Kowski, Peter Krauskopf,
Ulf Puder, Julia Schmidt, David Schnell, Kristina Schuldt, Robert Seidel and Mirjam Völker


The new ‘MdbK meets …’ series is based on the idea of local networks, the focus lies upon links to Leipzig collectors and collections.
The series begins with ‘MdbK meets G2’, which unites works from the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig and Hildebrand Collection (G2 Kunsthalle Leipzig). The exhibition shows how the pieces of two collections can complement one another, establishing an exciting relationship.

All of the paintings on show have been created since 2000, by artists who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig. One piece respectively from the museum and the Hildebrand Collection by Henriette Grahnert, Rosa Loy, Jochen Plogsties, Neo Rauch and Johannes Rochhausen form a pair of pictures. The MdbK has also added paintings by Hans Aichinger, Tilo Baumgärtel, Sebastian Gögel, Paule Hammer, Franziska Holstein, Aris Kalaizis, Martin Kobe, Christoph Ruckhäberle, Rigo Schmidt and Matthias Weischer, whilst the Hildebrand Collection contributes works from artists including Katrin Heichel, Julius Hofmann, Uwe Kowski, Peter Krauskopf, David O'Kane, Ulf Puder, Julia Schmidt, David Schnell, Kristina Schuldt, Robert Seidel, Mirjam Völker.

With this selection of works the ‘MdbK meets G2’ aims to reflect the rich spectrum of Leipzig painters, whilst also taking a critical look at the internationally-known but often misused term ‘New Leipzig School’. In a cross-generational approach, artists born between the early 1960s and the 1980s are contextualised with one another. The range of styles extends from photo realism to expressive gestural painting strategies. Recently acquired by Steffen Hildebrand, the painting ‘Der Übergang’ (2018) by Neo Rauch is presented in public for the first time. The second work by Rauch on display, ‘Fell’, from the year 2000, is owned by the MdbK. Hans Aichinger’s painting ‘History of Violence’ (2011) is a gift of the private collector to the MdbK from 2014 and represents the affiliation and amicable co-operation of both institutions.
