MIXED COMPANY ››› place 3 FACHBUCHHANDLUNG SAUTTER & LACKMANN June 24 - July 19, 2016 MIXED COMPANY ››› mixed places presents at its third exhibition site, the specialized bookstore Sautter & Lackmann, works of the Galerie der Villa artist Michael Witte (*1962, DE). In his drawings Michael Witte focuses on the city as an overall structure in the way a cartographer does. Nevertheless Witte reinterprets the visible and sees the city from a different angle which one can observe by visiting the exhibition of 23 drawings at the specialized bookstore Sautter & Lackmann. Network structures do play an important role in his work: although conformity with local transport networks of well-known cities exists, real names and topographic maps mix with personal notes, associations and figures. Here, we have different systems which permeate one another and occasionally the transport routes assume a surprisingly organic quality. Therefore his drawing of Hamburg has become the motif for the exhibition project MIXED COMPANY ››› mixed places hamburg city, because Michael Witte understands to bring together the subject of community, heterotopias and different societal roles. For Witte drawing is a method to organize knowledge, it’s a decipherment attempt and likewise an apotropaic magic to ward off demons and to protect from harm.

MIXED COMPANY ››› place 4 GÄNGEVIERTEL June 25 - July 15, 2016 RÜDIGER FRAUENHOFFER: DER GEDANKENGANG MIXED COMPANY ››› mixed places presents at its fourth exhibition site, the Galerie Speckstraße | Gängeviertel, works of the Galerie der Villa artist Rüdiger Frauenhoffer (*1969, DE). The artist creates fictional stories that consist of his personal relationships and daily news from media. In doing so, familiar persons as well as protagonists from the yellow press join up to new figures with partly changed or recomposed names. His framework of little narratives resembles a huge net made out of thousands of knots or even corresponds to the encyclopedic World Wide Web system. Frauenhoffer picks up mechanisms and techniques of contemporary communication and weaves the little narratives into the texture of everyday life (Lyotard). In cooperation with the association Mehr als zu viel e.V. the artists Adelaida Cue Bär and Konstanze Habermann also have been invited to show the installation of their abandoned trailer Browksy Palace on the waste land next tot he gallery Speckstraße. Inside the caravan the imaginery and also chimerical story of the clown Browsky, his three-armed wife and their dogs is being told. Opening Venue Opening hours Presstext in german

They all have been asked to reflect on the subject of community, to create links between different places and people, to question assumptions, shift perspectives, depict heterotopias and explore different societal roles. As a result a variety of differents parts became one unity. It’s about patchworking of artistic and geographic connections, to be on speaking terms, to reflect on the other and to engage others in a debate. Highly diverse ideas, structures and attitudes have been combined and different skills of people have been leveraged to reveal conglomerating systems. The group exhibition is an allocation of competences that continuously has increased with every single piece of work and every person. The idea of the exhibition project MIXED COMPANY ››› is to change, develop, produce, reject, begin again, act, get to know, accept, refuse, collect and create in a collaborative way. What does this mean for the individual and what does it mean for the whole? Opening Venue Opening hours Presstext in german

What is the modern definition of community? What sort of community do I want to live in? Or – viewed the other way round – what common values reflect the community that I live in? Which public spaces are available and to whom, and what boundaries are set on their use? How are heterotopias – i.e. places with their own rules – created in this process and how do these places reflect community relationships? Kulturtipp, NDR Hamburg Journal, June 8, 2016
