„Art Karlsruhe Selections“ with works by Peter Weber
until June 19th, 2021 at Galerie Renate Bender, Munich.
Using the most varied techniques and materials, Peter Weber has developed a system for folding the entire surface of a single piece of material without cutting it. For the "Art Karlsruhe Selections" we have selected three new paper reliefs made of pure white Arches and Fabriano handmade paper. Their delicate surface is protected by an acrylic glass cover. In addition to paper, Weber also uses materials such as felt, canvas, cotton, synthetic materials and even steel. In late 2017, he created his first folded steel reliefs. The bright red steel sculpture shown, "3 Squares" - 2014/21, is made of powder-coated stainless steel and was also originally intended for presentation at Art Karlsruhe 2021.
The film for the current exhibition "Material and Structure. Alfred Haberpointner - Peter Weber" is now online. The artist and filmmaker Bernhard Kreutzer has succeeded in capturing the various surface structures of the wall objects and sculptures in an exciting way.
From April 23rd to June 19th, 2021, the new exhibition in the Renate Bender Gallery is dedicated to three-dimensional wall objects and sculpture in the broadest sense, with works by Alfred Haberpointner and Peter Weber. The title of the exhibition - "Material and Structure" - is programmatic for the way the two artists work.
Please note that the gallery can only be visited within a fixed time frame upon prior registration by up to 3 persons. Please contact us by phone on 089/ 30728107 or by e-mail.

Inge Dick receives Austrian Art Award for Photography 2020
We are very pleased to announce that Inge Dick will has received the Austrian Art Award for Photography 2020. The Austrian Art Award is given to established artists for their extensive, internationally recognized body of work and is awarded annually. With her photo projects - for example with the large Polaroid cameras - or her innovative film projects, Inge Dick is one of the most unusual positions in contemporary experimental photography and film work.
We honor the work of the Austrian artist on the occasion of her 80th birthday in January 2021 with a comprehensive solo exhibition. On show from Jan. 15th to April 16th, 2021 will be works from Inge Dick's four-part cycle "jahres licht weiss" (“a year’s light white”) with new square colored film-stills. Looking back into her work, a large polaroid and a selection of her spatulated "white paintings" will be on display. Her new "golden paintings" are exhibited for the first time in Munich.
Exhibitions at the Museum für Konkrete Kunst und Design Ingolstadt, among others, are also planned for 2021.
