Kent Henricksen

Another top find- this time it comes via We make money not art.

Seems like i've picked a good week to be in Berlin as this show will be on while i'm over there. Called 'Gales and Gasps' it's a solo show by American artist Kent Henricksen (who has already been written about by Kath on Whip Up which i'd have noticed if I paid more attention)

I like the look of the gallery space, as seen in this installation view from the c/o -Atle Gerhardsen's website:

Now I need to make sure I take notes of addresses for these galleries! I think it's a pretty good sign when two craft/art shows are on at the same time in the one week I get to visit the city.

Thanks to a recent post on Bloody Bunny's (should that be Bloody Bunnies?) blog I was delighted to see that this exhibition will be on while i'm in Berlin next week. It's perfect timing! We looked at including Patricia Waller in a show at here gallery in the past, and I can't really remember why it didn't happen. I love the way Patricia combines crochet with bloodshed, it all somehow still manages to look incredibly cute, despite the drops of blood and severed limbs.

The exhibition, called Crossing Wonderland, is on at Galerie Deschler, until April 29th and the gallery can be found here. I'm now really starting to wish I had a guidebook/map of Berlin, and also a phrasebook, because my German is very limited indeed (who will ever need to use the phrase 'Black Forest Gateaux round the corner'?)
