A Hug From The Art World is pleased to present Songs of Nothing, an exhibition by Johannes Albers.
As a decorative element or as a "pseudo-political questioning ornament," contemporary art has lost a great deal of its original power in our everyday lives. We forget art more and more so it makes sense to look at its birthplace, its zero-point. - Art speaks about our life. In everyday life, we develop a pragmatic indifference, but it is nothingness that pushes us down in depths. Nothingness is not a void of emptiness, but the power that makes our lives powerful. Which voice has the nothing? Maybe we'll just stop sending from our smartphones, take a rest and listen. Johannes Albers was born in 1966, in Lingen/Emsland, Germany, and lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Recent solo and group exhibitions include Lieder des Nichts, Michael Fuchs Galerie, Berlin (2019); and SIMULATION/SKIN | Selected works from the Murderme collection, Newport Street Gallery, London (2017).Videos
