I have been going through old folders while on the quiet side of France for the holidays. This one said “studio shots”, and was baring the date, June 2009. I was in Berlin at the time and had met with German painter Jürgen Grewe.
I was introduced to his work by an artist I have been [...]

Studio Visit with Ariel Reichman.
I came across Ariel’s work while searching for artists working in Berlin, but coming from different countries. After reading this brilliant interview conducted by Ana Finel Honigman for ArtSlant, I decided to contact him. We met at his new apartment and studio in Kreuzberg, located not too far from Basso.
Between his previous and quite challenging [...]
Douglas Gordon at DOX.
Douglad Gordon: blood, sweat and tears @DOX (June 12 – September 27, 2009)

Jim Harris at Galerie Martin Mertens.
Jim Harris: Lumen @Galerie Martin Mertens (May 22 – July 4, 2009)
From the press release:
As in all his work Harris displays a gift for direct observation creating paintings that depict what he actually sees, not as a photographer might, but in reaction to the play of light on a rich variety of surfaces and structures. [...]
Edmund Piper at MFK Galerie.
Edmund Piper: It was quite nice @MFK Galerie (June 13 – July 10, 2009)
I didn’t care much for the work itself but the space was an incongruous surprise. But you knew I was rather biased when talking about domestic settings. I could do without the beige walls but 60’s ugly patterned couches are always welcomed.

Florian Neufeldt: I and it, it and I @Galerie Opdahl (May 1 – June 20, 2009)
From the press release:
Neufeldt will transform the gallery into an uncanny space, which challenges the senses of the viewer. The continuous rattling of a machine, the sporadic falling of sawdust through the air, a video projection at the other end [...]
