This is truly a MUST see @somersgallery 💥 Marking @batida.de.coco (Amanda Kyritsopoulou’s) first solo show in London, ‘Two Hands Holding One Arm’ brings together a new body of photographs, objects and text connecting formal considerations and magic tricks with a discussion about selfhood, anxiety and the messy business of living. The exhibition is accompanied by a text written by art historian and cultural theorist Dr. Mara Polgovsky. - well done Amanda, pure poetry 👊

Opening this Friday @ticktack.be @kunsthalle_recklinghausen @nicoanklam 🇧🇪 🇩🇪 ‘STORAGE SPACE‘ – the collection of Kunsthalle Recklinghausen in Antwerp. As a second part, from September 13 to November 10, the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen presents excerpts from its collections at TICK TACK in Antwerp. Founded in 1950 in a former World War II bunker, the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen owns a municipal collection of more than 5,000 works by artists such as Ayse Erkmen, Otto Piene, Gerhard Richter and Alicja Kwade. The Kunsthalle organizes the oldest art prize in Germany after WWII, named after the important artist group ‘junger westen’. Every year, the Kunsthalle hosts exhibitions by international artists such as Per Kirkeby, Daniel Buren and, more recently, Ângela Ferreira, Flo Kasearu and Søren Aagaardas part of the Ruhrfestspiele. The exhibition ‘Storage Space’ uses the open window facade to function as a showcase that can be seen from afar. Referring to the pioneering exhibition displays from the history of the Kunsthalle, individual groups of works will be on view from August to November and new cross-references within the collection will be carved out in Antwerp.

Humbled to the core by these two works. @kunsthalle_recklinghausen @ticktack.be @nicoanklam Image 1: Daan Gielis, ‘Happy Sad’ (2021) Image 2: Marilyn Minter, ‘Smash’ (2014) Image 3: Marilyn Minter, ‘Smash’ still (2014)

Some install shots from Germany: Colossal - Dynamic - Poetic. @ticktack.be @kunsthalle_recklinghausen @nicoanklam brought together high heat with heavy rainstorms so eloquently! In return, the collection presentation ‘Storage Space’ from the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen will open at TICK TACK in Antwerp on September 13, providing insights into its extensive museum collection of almost 5,000 works. Popular for individual loans to numerous museums worldwide, this is the first time the collection travels abroad as a curated exhibition.

ROKADE — STREETSPACE BANGER 24.08—10.11.2024. SUPER exciting to be included in this monumental project! BIG thank you @ticktack.be @nicoanklam @kunsthalle_recklinghausen TICK TACK and Kunsthalle Recklinghausen are thrilled to announce STREETSPACE BANGER, a monumental group exhibition and institutional take-over. From August to November 2024, TICK TACK (2019) and Kunsthalle Recklinghausen in Germany (1950) engage in an eminent exchange project: they swap locations. Under the title ROKADE — akin to the castling move in chess where players strategically swap the king and rook—both institutions are crossing borders and curate each other’s exhibition venues. At the historic Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, TICK TACK proudly presents ‘STREETSPACE BANGER,’ a group show spanning all three floors of the former WWII bunker. This exhibition unites over 80 artists from 20 countries, celebrating the interconnectedness that emerged from TICK TACK’s cultivated network and exhibition program. Simultaneously, Kunsthalle Recklinghausen will reveal a selection from its 5,000-piece strong collection, featuring renowned artists such as Otto Piene, Gerhard Richter, Alicja Kwade and Ayse Erkmen. This collection will travel abroad for the first time as a curated project, presented in various adaptations at TICK TACK’s brutalist exhibition space in Antwerp, opening September 13th.
