On September 19, 2019, the group exhibition, PERSPECTIVE: Between Transience and a New Beginning, opened at Pashmin Art Gallery Hamburg, with the works of Renate Pribert-Zimny, Shahram Shahmiri, Maik Nowodworski and Petra Aichholz.

What follows is an extract of the speech by curator Zahra Hasson-Taheri.

Transience cannot be discussed. Completing all life, whether it was nice or not, is irrelevant. But the perspective, the observation and observation of each experienced moment are unmistakable. After all, perception and reality are a matter of perspective. What we see and do not see is our decision. With the eyes of the artists Renate Pribert-Zimny, Shahram Shahmiri, Maik Nowodworski and Petra Aichholz, the visitor sees selected exhibits in painting, collages with light art, installation and sculpture, conveying the impermanence and perceptual diversity in a haunting way.

The dynamics, the interaction of music and painting is the central theme in Renate Pribert-Zimny´s work. Her works are rhythmically conceived in several shades of color and produce almost noisy worlds of luster. Born in Iran and living in Hamburg, the artist Shahram Shahmirishows cultural and social reconstructions in his works. His work focuses on the history and culture of his birthplace. He alienates everyday items. He arranges them, builds new things and creates works that move in both two- and three-dimensionality. The Berlin light concept artist Maik Nowodworski creates a surreal, overstimulated world that overwhelms the viewers in its fullness and captivates them at the same time. Circles and gears that represent cycles and are repeated in his works. Circulations of life, the four seasons, climate change, war and other political and social issues determine his work. After the artist Petra Aichholz, our world is the only important one. To put the earth as the origin of all life in the center, conveys recognition and security. The most important basis for this is the special mixture between detailed illustration and abstraction: Unusual map views open up new perspectives and also intellectually lead to a rethinking of the point of view.

The exhibition, PERSPECTIVE: Between Transience and a New Beginning, can be seen at Pashmin Art Gallery, Hamburg until the 21st of October 2019.
