The way of seeing Julie Oppermann’s works is enigmatic, inviting the viewer to reflect on his or her perceptual relation to the world. An encounter with the artist’s paintings and videos is primarily an intense physical experience. In playing with the dynamics of visual perception, the studied neuroscientist captures our immediate sensorial attention, penetrating deeply into the heart of emotion and consciousness.

Basedonart is proud to present Takako Saito‘s „You and Me Shop,“ a compilation of artists‘ books and a selection of never-before-seen works from the 1950s and 1960s. The latter originated mainly in Japan, belonging to a large body of abstract paintings, watercolors, collages, and etchings that showcase the artist’s delicate handwriting. Moreover, they reflect the influence of artists like Ei-Q (Hideo Sugita) and highlight Saito’s largely unnoticed, yet significant contribution to painterly trends in post-war Japan.

“Road to documenta fifteen” is a prelude to the presentation of Takashi Kuribayashi and Rai Shizuno (Cinema Caravan) in Kassel in 2022. The project in Düsseldorf sets the ground for the exploration led by Takashi Kuribayashi and Rai Shizuno on the German grounds

We dedicate the 2nd exhibition of „Resonances of DiStances“ to the work of Shigeko Kubota (1937-2015) and Hanae Utamura (1980-).
Both artists are or were inspired by the relationships between nature, technology and the human being – the transfusion of the organic with the artificial. In a poetic yet unsparing manner, the works exhibited at basedonart explore the ephemeral.

Resonances of DiStances kicks off with the exhibition and urban space project by Yoshio Shirakawa. Shirakawa was born in 1948 in Kitakyushu. He came to Europe in 1970 and studied philosophy and art in Strasbourg, Paris and Karlsruhe. In 1976 Shirakawa moved to Düsseldorf, where he studied at the Art Academy with Günter Uecker.
