The distance between you and me

May 1 – July 11, 2014
FAHRBEREITSCHAFT, Berlin

Michael Asher, Martin Creed, Morgan Fisher, On Kawara, Jonathan Monk, Stephen Prina, Karin Sander, Santiago Sierra, Andreas Slominski, Ian Wilson, Haegue Yang

Opening: April 30, 2014, 7 – 9 pm
Gallery Weekend: May 1 – 4, 2014, 12 – 6 pm

Works by various artists dealing with dimensions and measurements were brought together for an exhibition in the former Teilelager of FAHRBEREITSCHAFT. The exhibition title alludes to a piece by Jonathan Monk, who rode his bicycle to the post office for us each month for a year while filming with an attached 8 mm camera. He had Kodak send the film created directly to us after it had been developed. This work is, however, only cited in the related exhibition by Jonathan Monk locking his bicycle at various places in public space, accompanied by a poster that he had designed. The exhibition includes works by artists from the generation of Stanley Brouwn like Michael Asher, Morgan Fisher, On Kawara, and Ian Wilson. Also shown are works by younger artists like Martin Creed, Stephen Prina, Karin Sander, Santiago Sierra, Andreas Slominski, and Haegue Yang – all dealing with measurements and standards.
